Brendon Marries Lyndie! - Post from the Past

Brendon and Lyndie decided they didn't want any big fanfare. They just wanted to get married. 

GJ became an official that can "solemnize" a marriage. Jaci and I were the witnesses. We gathered at the Koehler house to make it official. Here is Brendon signing his parts.....

Here is GJ signing his part....

Lyndie's grandma had a cake made for them, but the bakery person spelled Bren's name wrong. Oops!

Here is a pic of their little family.

Here is a pic with Jaci, Bren, Lyndie, and GJ.

...and here is a photo with me. I misunderstood instructions and didn't get Terry here, so that is why he is not in the picture. My fault...

After this, Bren and Lyndie headed to Wendover for a fun weekend getaway and short Honeymoon trip. 

 Congratulations Brendon and Lyndie! May your life be filled with happiness and love!

Alex Takes 3rd Place - Post from the Past

Alex was asked by the staff at Orange Theory to be one of their representatives at competitions they were having. I believe it was between all of the gyms. He got third overall! Very impressive!

 Good job, Alex, kick some trash!

Tim Becomes an Official Adult - 2020 - Post From the Past

...and just like that, Tim is an official adult! He didn't want a big hullabaloo. We were missing a "2" candle, so we improvised.

Here are Tim and Ashley right before Tim blew out his candles. 

Happy Birthday, Tim! (I'm not old enough to have adult children....)

 

We Lost Richter - June 20th 2021

We lost poor Richter on the 20th. Topher figured he was about 110+ in rat years. He took good care of him!

Here are some of Topher's favorite pictures of him. 

I got a picture frame for Topher that has a dangling heart that says "In Memory". This is the picture he chose.

We decided to bury him in the garden. Here is his headstone. I put one of my flowers next to it. We made one for Leroy too, because we hadn't made him one yet. 

He was such a good pet, and Topher is devastated. It is so hard to lose a beloved pet. Thank goodness I believe they go to heaven too and will be waiting for us when we cross the Rainbow Bridge too. 

 

Pioneer Day July 2020 - Post from the Past!

The crew got together to celebrate Pioneer Day. It was a great time, as usual!

The kiddies were swimming....

....while the adults played Cornhole...

...and of course ate too much yummy food! We LOVE summer! 

 Hope everyone had a great 24th!

Pioneer Day at Utah Lake 2020 - Post from the Past

We decided to get away at the last minute for Pioneer Day with the Turners. We were still in the early stages of the pandemic and it was risky to go with big groups of people. It is always tranquil to go with just them. Here is a shot of the storm that passed us by the first night. 

It was SO hot, we brought a pool. we filled it up.......and found out it had a hole in the top layer. We didn't have a very deep swimming pool, but it did the job. 

I love that we are so close to the airport. There are several BIG jets that come in....

...and then there are some really neat vintage ones that come in.

I got REALLY sunburned, what else is new!

Tucky Tuck spilled my drink....bummer!

I took some pictures of this quail family, but you can't see them!

It was a lovely weekend, and once again, a great escape from the pandemic!
