Golf Tournament in Wyoming

Thayne, Wyoming, was the place where Glen got invited to participate in the Maverik Golf Tournament (Team 4A) held over the 24th of July weekend.


The poor man got a huge cut on his leg from a jagged, broken, wooden table top. Good thing it happened after he was finished golfing, because it was pretty sore and bloody for quite a while. During dinner, the golfers were awarded prizes and Glen won 2 tickets to an upcoming Jazz game which made him very happy and helped ease the pain of his injury.


There was one prize there that I did NOT want Glen to get and that was a motorized drink cooler. Fortunately, he did not win that prize, but he did offer to help the guy who won it get it back to San Francisco for him since he had flown in and didn't quite know how he could get the prize home on the plane. So, not only did we have the unwanted Budweiser gift sitting in the back seat of our car, but we also had a Miller Lite golf bag back there to go along with it.



Glen invited me to go with him since he was spending the night. We stayed at the Hi Country Inn located nearby in the small town of Afton, Wyoming, population 1818.



We ate breakfast at The Homestead and then drove around taking pictures of some of the interesting things in the quaint, little town of Afton.








It's very beautiful country up there and we had a great time taking it all in.

A Reunion and A Blessing

On August 8th, Glen's family had a reunion--his sister Barbara was in charge this year--and we got a photo of Glen and all his siblings.


Then the spouses entered the picture.


The next day we joined Dallas and Rebecca for the blessing of their new baby, Caroline, and enjoyed the dinner afterward in their condo clubhouse.





Nani and I enjoyed holding little Caroline.





We got some family photos outside the condo after the dinner.




What a sweet addition to the family.

Mark's Family Comes To Town

For all of you who missed our family dinner a couple of Sundays ago, here are some pictures to help you feel like you were there and that you didn't miss a thing.

We sure had a cute chef who grilled us up some delicious chicken.


Everyone was anxious to meet the new addition to the family. Proud daddy Dallas is showing his new baby Caroline to Maggie, Rachel and Kate.


Good thing Mom is helping Caleb dish up some carrots instead of the sweet potatoes because we learned Caleb is allergic to sweet potatoes and throws up every time he eats them. Thanks, Caleb, for not throwing up while at our house!! Looks like Michelle and Amanda are in heaven with all the delicious food options.


I'm thinking that next time they visit, Hailey will be taller than her mother. She is eating with Maggie, Rachel--who was sporting a cute, shorter hair cut, and Kate--who had surprisingly long hair.


Looks like Amanda got her hands on the new baby and looks like Brooke is very thirsty.


Caleb, Thadeus, Michelle and Hailey.


Here are some more dishing up food and eating dinner shots.






Yes, this is Kaelyn who brought along her friend, Dennis, who is somehow related to Glen's brother-in-law Ray Hull.


Great picture of mother with new baby and father in the background.


Maggie's just like her mother and LOVES to hold the babies. Here she's holding Nina. I kept calling Nina Kate because I can't get used to the idea that Mark and Michelle have another child and the way Nina looks--small and with no hair--reminds me of how Kate used to look.


Here are some of the girls that were at the party. Too bad we didn't get all the girls in the girl photo and too bad we didn't get a guy photo as well.


This is after the party was over. Apparently Mark's kids didn't feel like they were full enough from the dinner food and needed a late-night snack. It was 10:05 p.m. when the kids were all chowing down on cereal.


Good thing we had such delicious leftovers from dinner that they ended up eating for breakfast the next day. No need for cereal then.

G&K Work Party At Lagoon

We attended the G&K company party at Lagoon and because Dallas is now employed at G&K, he, Rebecca, Brooke and Caroline also got to join in the fun.

Glen did a lot of work helping with the food. Then after lunch he got to be Grandpa and helped Brooke ride a bunch of the kiddie rides. My job was to keep track of Caroline sleeping in her stroller while Dallas and Rebecca went off to spend a few hours riding the big rides by themselves.

















Did you notice the matching shirts? Glen picked the color--his favorite--Cougar blue. He was just sad that they ran out of kid shirts before Brooke got one. Personally, I think she looks adorable in her red, All American Girl shirt.
