My Hero - My Dad

 

On September 10, 2014 my dad was honored as a Korean War Peace Ambassador at the Utah State Capitol.  He was presented with a beautiful medal and certificate, along with a large book containing pictures of the Korean War.

Dad was a tender young man from Meadow, Utah when he was thrown into the violent Battle of Inchon Harbor.  He has repressed many memories throughout his life since this war, but the nightmares have remained.  We who are blessed to live in this free country must always be grateful to those brave people who have fought for our freedoms.  There are those who have protected us and there are those who continue to protect us.  I thank God for their unselfish service to the citizens of the United States of America.

Thank you Dad.  I love you.

I'm Back!

Cindy-n-Steve are back! Thanks Ashley for helping me find my way back to this lost blog. I had forgotten the address and how to be recognized as the author of this masterpiece. Now I feel so much better! HA HA!!

Pieces of April....

BEFORE.....1970's




Steve and I went to a Three Dog Night Concert in St. George Friday night and it was SO AMAZING! Another thing that was amazing was the fact that I could still sing along with them on all their songs! (The brain isn't totally dead yet.) But the burning question still remains: Why were there so many OLD people at that concert??????


AFTER.....2012 -

Kamryn turns ONE

Once upon a time there was a little boy who wanted to grow up just like his daddy.

And he did!!!

Spooky Halloween!

Carly turns two!

This is a perfect picture of sheer joy at having a birthday! Carly turned two in August and LOVED being the center of attention at her party.


Her mom made her a "Carly-Bug" cake.


Two years old and already pondering her future!


The great-grandpa's enjoy a cake and ice cream party.


Carly shows Grandpa De her new kitchen. He wants her to fry him an egg, but she needs to heat up her baby's bottle.


We sure do love you little Carly-Bug!
