Gila Valley temple

2010-05-07T19:16:00.000-07:00

We recently went to the Gila Valley Temple open house in Central, Arizona (near Thatcher and Safford). Marilyn was raised in this area and all her siblings and their spouses, her dad and his wife and many nieces and nephews attended this special event. What a beautiful temple, and what a fun weekend.

We recently went to Santa Fe with Wendell and Carolyn and Bethleen and Jon. Jon had a former roommate who is now an artist. We were able to meet Duke Sundt and visit his studio. We also danced on the square in Sante Fe, and toured old churches museums, and cute shops.

2009-09-02T19:00:00.000-07:00

We had a great time with all the family. Here I am with Emilee, Rachael and Meghan waiting for everyone to join us for Church. I don't think Meghan is too happy about the hat.We do enjoy Shaunda and Jaydee and family living closer to us

2009-09-02T18:55:00.000-07:00

There were lots of horses and riding groups. The kids were impressed with all the "poop" on the road.

2009-09-02T18:48:00.000-07:00

Lorin and I went to Cheyenne to spend time with the Burns family and to see the Cheyenne Frontier Days. Lorin has always wanted to see the "daddy of them all"..the Cheyenne Rodeo. His dream came true. Here are the Burn's kids waiting for the Cheyenne Days Parade to start.

Art Chicks

2009-07-26T16:56:00.000-07:00

On the last day, Cherisa took all the girls to a cute restaurant, Art Chicks, in Lewiston, Ne. Can you pick us out? It was a great reunion and we thanks everyone for coming and helping us make such fun memories. As usual , I posted this backwards, so you see the end before the first of the reunion. Oh well.....

2009-07-26T16:49:00.000-07:00

We spent one whole day at the Omaha Zoo and still didn't see everything. Grandpa, Emilee and Tyson had to try out the butterfly chairs.

2009-07-26T16:48:00.000-07:00

Grandpa always brings oreo cookies and Aunt Lori Lyn know how to keep everyone happy.

2009-07-26T16:44:00.000-07:00

We even did some karoke and the kids sang with Matt and Ross on guitars.We had a little dancing too...what fun to watch the cousins dance.

2009-07-26T16:38:00.000-07:00

Emilee also had a her 9th Birthday. We had a little party in our cabin at Mahoney Park. Each family was in charge of an evening meal and we had some great, but simple meals. She had her dad fix cobbler for her Birthday dessert.

2009-07-26T13:15:00.000-07:00

Pryce just loved watching all the commotion. Three families stayed in a large cabin and the others camped out. Lorin and I were wise enough to "choose" the air conditioned cabin at Mahoney Park.

2009-07-26T13:13:00.000-07:00

Z loved the park and swings

Lorin Price Family Reunion

2009-07-26T13:10:00.000-07:00

Lorin and I met Christy and Ross at Cheyenne and we all drove out to Lincoln, Nebraska with Shaunda and Jaydee and family. Here are the Burn's kids teaching Caden to stand on the picnic tables in Nebraska. Caden turned 2 on June 20 and we had a little party for him that night at Chris and Cherisa's in Lincoln.

2009-06-08T19:10:00.000-07:00

Girls do love hats, even when they are only three.

2009-06-08T19:08:00.000-07:00

2009-06-08T19:06:00.000-07:00

We need some girl pics too

2009-05-31T19:25:00.000-07:00

Grandpa with Josh and Tyson. We enjoy having the Burns family closer. We took Chelsea and Z and had a tour of base. We saw lots of historic houses, lots of antelope on base and just enjoyed family

2009-05-31T19:20:00.000-07:00

He liked the giraffes and monkeys and enjoyed the carousel. Then it started raining. I think he enjoyed seeing all the umbrellas best of all.

2009-05-31T19:17:00.000-07:00

Ride 'um cowboy

2009-05-31T19:12:00.000-07:00

Chelsea and Z came to visit us for a few days. Grandpa and Z had a blast at the park, although Grandpa was afraid they would get stuck on the curvy slide.

2009-05-31T19:06:00.000-07:00

Cool Caden playing with his cool truck.

2009-04-27T11:25:00.000-07:00

Dawnell needed a pic of Dad and me for a project, so I decided to just add this. I'm not too impressed with it, but guess it will do . I guess we are getting older....but again, we are healthy and alive, so life is great.

2009-04-27T11:13:00.000-07:00

2009-04-27T11:10:00.000-07:00

The Friday night before General Conference we sat under/by the tent and faced a picture of the Temple like King Benjamin did and talked about Conference. The boys had a great time sleeping in the tent, (well, one of them since only Josh fit.) After they went to sleep, I'll admit, I tucked Rachael in her crib and then slept in my nice bed. It was a fun time though.

2009-04-27T11:00:00.000-07:00

We were able to have the Burns kids stay with us for a few days last month while Shaunda and Jaydee looked for a home. Here are Josh, Tyson and Rachael enjoying wearing Grandpa's cowboy hats.

2009-03-10T13:18:00.000-07:00

Lorin was recently in Lincoln and got to see Pryce and Maddy. Aren't they growing up?

Celeste was a great helper and was great to play with Caden and Coby.

2009-03-04T18:46:00.000-08:00

Deonna and her three children came down from Idaho to visit with Christy and family and us. Sara loved to hide toys and blankets in the tent and "store" them.

2009-03-04T18:38:00.000-08:00

Grandpa and Coby enjoying some quiet time.

2009-03-04T18:33:00.000-08:00

We were able to go to Utah and help Christy/Ross with Coby. Caden wasn't so sure about Coby, it's pretty hard to be "soft' when you are a boy. However, he did love playing with balls.

2009-03-04T17:10:00.000-08:00

Kayla, Emilee and Grandma holding up Balanced Rock in Garden of the Gods. We also hiked a little, then got lunch at Balanced Rock cafe. It was a beautiful day for January.

2009-03-04T17:06:00.000-08:00

Kayla is fixing Grandpa eggs for breakfast.

2009-03-04T17:03:00.000-08:00

OK, we are a little slow.Emilee and Kayla stayed with us a few days after Christmas. Kayla is being a cowgirl and holding the bear Deonna's kids sent us.

2008-12-25T16:01:00.000-08:00

The Flint family sent us a notebook to fill with pictures of their family. We had a family over Christmas Eve for dinner and read the Christmas story out of the "Red Book". Christmas day was quiet, but nice enough to go on a walk and enjoy reading and relaxing.
Merry Christmas to everyone.

Christmas 2008

2008-12-25T15:58:00.000-08:00

2008-11-23T10:55:00.000-08:00

Lorin and I went on a short trip last month. We stopped at Trinidad, Colorado and found this cute little shop. We are posting it today as it s Lori Lyn's Birthday. Happy Birthday, Lori Lyn.

2008-09-22T16:33:00.000-07:00

We are all enjoying the monument about America the Beautiful. Katharine Lee Bates, an English Teacher from Wellesley College in Mass, came out to Colorado to lecture at Colorado College the summer of 1893. She and other teacher made the trip to Pikes Peak by wagon. She was so inspired by the view that she wrote the poem, America the Beautiful. The views from the peak were indeed inspiring.

2008-09-22T16:27:00.000-07:00

Dad and I at the Summit House at the top. They had a small gift shop and some quick foods. We had to try the doughnuts which we had heard a lot about. Actually, they weren't that great, but I did enjoy my hot chocolate. That is snow in September.

2008-09-22T16:22:00.000-07:00

Here's pic of one car. The conductor is waiting to switch rails so the other car can pass us. We are above tree line(Alpine Zone)

2008-09-22T16:19:00.000-07:00

I think Rich is enjoying the view, but Joyce is a little concerned. The scenery was beautiful. The conductor pointed out points of interest on the way up. Dad (Lorin) and I loved the views. On the way down, the conductor just let us visit and he roamed the cars and answered questions. It took a little over an hour each way.

Pikes Peak

2008-09-22T16:16:00.000-07:00

We are on our way to Pikes Peak via the Cog Rail. Joyce and Rich just bought their tickets at Manitou Springs and have lots of water for the high altitude. I'm not sure how high Manitou Springs is, but Pikes Peak is 14,115. This is the highest cog rail in the world.

Caden

2008-09-21T18:04:00.000-07:00

OK, Dad (Lorin) sneaked this one in...and we are not in Nebraska, but at a park in Utah. Caden is thinking hard trying to figure out what Grandpa is doing. Dad always enjoys stopping by to see family when he can.

Maddy's Nebraska dress

2008-09-21T17:56:00.000-07:00

Maddy modeling her new Nebraska dress, made to match the bedding on Pryce's bed. She also had to have a ribbon to match. She helped me sew some of it and was so impressed with my sewing machine, and so eager to help. Hopefully this dress will bring good luck to Nebraska's football team.

2008-09-21T17:51:00.000-07:00

Go Huskers......more of Pryce's room

2008-09-21T17:48:00.000-07:00

My hair's pretty messy, but Pryce was sure cute. He was such a good baby, just slept and ate. Maddy had to help with every diaper change...and she was very particular about the colors on the diaper front. She didn't like light green and wouldn't let Cherisa use those. Cherisa had to use those diapers at night while Maddy was asleep.

Nebraska

2008-09-21T17:42:00.000-07:00

Here's a pic of Maddy sitting outside her home. Does she look like a beauty queen?

2008-09-20T19:16:00.000-07:00

Here is a bearskin from a bear Brandon killed. Note the green ruffles around it. They match the John Deere decor that Holly has through out the house. While in Virden,we had a Dutch Oven dinner, visited, ate lots of cookies and fresh vegetables and had a great time. Dad (Lorin) and I even went to a Western Dance at the Fairgrounds as part of the School Reunion.

2008-09-20T19:09:00.000-07:00

We had a Duncan School reunion in August, and also a Jones family reunion. We are all sitting in Brandon's front yard in Virden.

Whoops, a Senior Moment. (I seem to have a lot of those). We went to Fort Benton in Montana, not Nebraska City. So those pics of the parade and river with Shaunda's family, etc. are in Montana, not Nebraska.

2008-07-12T13:50:00.000-07:00

We all attended church in Williams, then left for our own homes. We had a nice visit, but as usual, it just wasn't long enough. Williams is only about 3-4 hours from Pheonix, but 12 hours from Colorado Springs, so dad and I stayed in Albuquerque, then returned home Monday.

2008-07-12T13:46:00.000-07:00

Help...we got robbed!

2008-07-12T13:45:00.000-07:00

Grandpa and Grandma on the train. We had entertainers stroll down the aisles playing guitars, etc both ways. We were also held-up with "robbers" on the way back. They took our pocket change, etc. Beep insulted the Marshall by offering him her marshmellow rice krispy bar. It was all in fun.

2008-07-12T13:41:00.000-07:00

Grandpa, Grandma, Beep, Jon, Wendell, Marilyn and Carolyn waiting for the little Western show to start.

2008-07-12T13:38:00.000-07:00

Dad and I ate to Rod's Steakhouse July 4th and Dad got to pet a cute bull. thye had flags all down main street and it was pretty fun.

2008-07-12T13:35:00.000-07:00

Here is the train we went on in Williams, Arizona. Dad and I got there a day early and celebrated July 4th and "toured the small town. It is pretty cute.

2008-07-09T18:03:00.000-07:00

Caden learned to grab all the loot. He had great teachers, all of Shaunda and Jaydee's kids

2008-07-09T17:56:00.000-07:00

We had a great trip to Montana last month. Lori Lyn surprised us all by flying from Boston. She hid in a closet and got very warm, then jumped out to surprise us( after Lorin and I spent 10 minutes watching Shaunda's kids ride bikes, etc) .We went to a small parade in Nebraska City, etc and had a great time.

2008-06-16T20:05:00.000-07:00

We went down the gorge in a small train -like cages. At the bottom we were able to watch the river rafters. The water was quite high. It reminded us of the fun we had at our reunions. There is also a train in the foreground. Someday we plan to take a dinner trip on it. We did have a fun day.

2008-06-16T20:01:00.000-07:00

Dad and I with our "friend" at Royal Gorge. They had a cute western village with a shoot out, some long horns, and Native American crafts, plus you could pan for gold.

2008-06-16T19:57:00.000-07:00

We went to Royal Gorge last month and here are some more pictures. It was an early anniversary celebration

Wampanoag Homesite

2008-04-15T15:56:00.000-07:00

This is near Plimoth Plantation. That's me in the purple jacket, freezing. The best part for me was going in the smoky bark homes because it was warm. Actually it was all great

2008-04-15T15:42:00.000-07:00

Wampanoag Homesite near Plimoth Plantation. That's me again in my maroon jacket. It was very interesting, but I especially loved getting inside the bark homes, because it was warm.....but smoky.

Plimoth plantation

2008-04-15T15:37:00.000-07:00

We are standing near a barn on the Plimoth plantation. Note the thatched roof. People were in period costume. We have ancestors who came over on the Mayflower. James Chilton and his wife died that winter, but their daughter Isabelle came later and we come through her.
Dad enjoyed the animals and outdoors. I loved the history and talking to the "actors". Lori Lyn was a great guide.

The Mayflower

2008-04-15T15:32:00.000-07:00

We toured the replica of the Mayflower and visited the Plimoth Plantation nearby

2008-04-15T15:28:00.000-07:00

It was cold and windy. We loved the Statue of Liberty. Did you know she is hollow, just about 1/2 inch thick? Ellis Island was also interesting.
