The parade in Richfield is an ongoing tradition for us. We do not make it every year, sometime there are several years between. However, we have been getting better at staking our spot. Usually the day before someone goes to the parade route and sets up chairs. I stopped by a couple of hours before […]

As a family and close friends we met at the Kanosh cemetery, the final resting place of Willard George Rogers. His wife Norma was brought over from the Richfield cemetery to be placed by his side. The legacy of will continue with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. […] In southern Utah for grandpa’s funeral Grandpa Willard George Rogers was born the 2nd of June, 1912 in Kanosh Utah. He had his 100th birthday earlier this month. He passed away today and soon will be laid to rest in Kanosh. Just some quick pictures of Grandpa with his great grandchildren. Emily with Grandpa and Grandma Rogers in […] Another year has passed and another Fathers Day is already here. Father’s day always brings memories of dad. He passed away a few days after father’s day three years ago. This year thoughts are also turned to Grandpa Rogers, who turned 100 this month. Unfortunately, he took a sudden turn for the worse and is […] Today I made the trek to Disneyland to meet my three brothers and their families. It was a cool and windy day by usual standards. However, it had to be warmer than Oregon, where Eric travel from and Utah, where Alan traveled from. Wayne hopped up from Oceanside, so it was not much different for […] Today Jacob and I went on a hike to the top of Mt. San Antonio, also known as Mt. Baldy with a group of eight others. It was the same hike I did on October 1st (Link Here) . Today was a little different as there was snow at the trailhead in the shade. After […] Tonight was the Festival of Lights presented by the Mission Inn. There are lots of lights and fireworks. This year there was also a surprise. After dinner, Jacob and I ran downtown to see the fireworks. It was not like “running” to the store. We literally ran. Nothing like a little after dinner exercise. As […] Tonight is Janet’s birthday. Emily took the day off for Janet’s birthday so she could come along. Janet wanted a steak so we started our evening by going to dinner at Outback Steakhouse. Dinner was good and for desert we ate the birthday Sunday. Of course this was the first round of desert as we […] This Fathers Day weekend was a little difficult. Two years ago, on the Friday evening before Fathers Day Jacob and I were headed out for a Boy Scout overnight campout at Blue Ridge and then a hike up Mt Baden Powell the next morning. Dad passed away just four days after our trip up to […] Tonight as I was wrapping things up at work Scott called and used his famous line, “Where are you at?” Of course I was at work. His next line surprised me, “Do you want to go sailing?” It was time to go home so I made my way home to get Scott to go sailing. […] Today my little girl was married. It is a day that you think about now and then as you see your daughter grow taller and older. Twenty one years ago, it seemed like this day was forever away. Today it is here and watching a little girl eat her First Birthday banana cream pie seems […] There is always change happening in universe and that extends to our little universe called home. Recently we had three more mouths added to our universe. Scott moved back in with us and he brought with him two young dogs. Of course now I have a couple of friends that will go on walks with […] Last year I said, “You know you may be getting old when the baby turns 14.” Well, I do not feel any older than I did last year. Perhaps I am in a holding pattern. Nonetheless, the baby is 15 years old in two days. He wanted macaroni and cheese for dinner and a couple […] Christmas morning is different with teenage children, even if it was the 22nd. Scott stayed up most of the night playing on the X-box and slept on the couch. Emily popped in our room with Jacob standing right behind her about 7:00 am and said, “Merry Christmas, where is Santa.” Our reply was, it is […] |
