A few photos from the Jared/Kim crew

Quick drive to Yellowstone
Junior Ranger Benjamin
Can't top this spot for game playing. Well, at least until it started raining.
I am in love with Maddie's continual wearing of the helmet with the strap in the front.
The most beautiful spot to camp ever.
Solitude Lake. The final resting place for Becky's glasses. But a glorious adventure.
I've now checked off one of my items from my bucket list.
I'm pretty sure the kids could throw rocks for hours and hours
Not sure there is another lake that can top that scenary for water skiing/boating.

I successfully spent a few hours with these little girls and they were not traumatized.
I got to see a hilarious side to Cali as her deep love for Cinderella "Rella" was expressed.

Dad's Slide Collection Continued

This is from a series of photos of the four kids on these rocks. But this one was my favorite. 
Okay Cathy, there's a genetic connection between you and Eliot. That look right there, that is him to a tee.  
Not sure why, but this photo just makes me really, really happy

Dad's Slide Collection Continued - Dad & Babies

There is just something that gets me about photos of Dad with a baby. Not sure, but my educated guess is this is Chris. 
I LOVE how happy Dad is in this photo. 
and here,
and here.

Dad's Slide Collection Continued - Mom and Dad at first

Not sure, but I think this might be before kids. 
There seems to be a little genetic connection between Dad and David.
I love this photo. 
Okay, how come I don't look like this after two babies?
I think this is a really sweet photo of Mom and her babies. 
Cathy cracks me up in this photo. 
Mom and her girls. 



Dad's Slide Collection Continued with Extended Family Photos


From the trip to Jackson Hole, Tetons mentioned below. But I can't figure out how to move the photo there. :)
Dad's Family with Cathy & Becky
A California trip

I assume this is Grandma Dixon's home on Michigan. 
Fairview, Utah
Looks like this is from a trip to the Tetons with Mom's Family. 



Dad's Slide Collection

While I was staying with Mom, I decided to tackle Dad's slide collection downstairs. I assumed there were some treasures down there and I didn't want them to be lost. I got through scanning almost all of them, but there were some I couldn't get to. I did make the executive decision to not scan any photos of Dad's mission or when he was overseas with the Navy unless they had Dad in them. Eventually I will send each of the siblings a disk with all these photo files on them. But for now, I wanted to share some real treasures. 

Dad and his family in southern Utah. I assume this is post-mission, pre-dental school years. 

 Dad, Mac, Papa Dade, and many others. 

 Really young and adorable Mom. I'm almost positive this is their honeymoon. 

I really love this photo of Mom, Marg and Paul
