A Garden Reception for Jacob and Kelsie Clark

 Tis the season for Garden Wedding Receptions. Jacob and Kelsie were married August 18, 2012 in the Salt Lake Temple. Reception followed in Jacobs Grandmother's beautiful back yard.

 These return missionaries from Hungary sure know how to pick their wives. It was good to see Lazerbeam Mullen and his wife Sunbeam. Ryan's wife is actually his MTC companion Lundeens cousin. Ryan kept pretty busy all evening as Best Man and Master of Ceremonies.

Wouldn't you know it Mission President Baughman and Garner sit down to discuss old mission business.

 Sister Garner and sister Baughman share recipes for Hungarian Goulash.

All theses missionary weddings provide a great opportunities for mission reunions. Just a few that were present are pictured here.  Faye Wade, Kaye Garner, Lynn Garner, Gary Baughman, Marilyn Baughman, Rebeka Johnson and Ruth Harris. Others present Norm and Heather Rollingson  Tyson Hinze and Elder Larsen.

 I have no idea where this tradition originated. A very romantic and solemn ceremony of cake cutting.......

 ......soon deteriorates into the couples first altercation.

Mullen and company decorate the honeymoon car. Are those Root Beer cans I see? How appropriate'

Grandaughter Andee Lyons baptism

Star for the Day of the Lyons girls was our grandaughter Andee Jade Lyons who was baptised by her dad a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints on August 19, 2012 in Park City Utah. Here with her sisters Rachael, Jamie, (Andee) Laura and Karli.

Wedding of our Grandneice

 I am getting behind on my postings. On August 11, 2012 Megan Peterson was wed to Brian Cook in the Logan Temple in Logan Utah.

The brides sisters came to support their sister. Krista from Vienna Austria, Angela from New Zealand, Megan the bride and Mandy from Logan.

And the proud parents of the bride Alan (my nephew) and Shauna Peterson of Hyde Park, Utah

Bennion Wedding

 Our Missionaries from Hungary certainly keep us busy with weddings. On July 11, 2012 Austin Bennion was married to Kayla Shay Miles in the Bountiful Utah Temple

The evening garden reception was held at the Bennion home in Ogden Utah

 Good to see missionary Apgood with a beautiful lady at his side. Oh how we remember that hot summer day in Kaposvar. The day of our Young Single Adult Water Wars. Even Zone Leaders didn't escape escape a total drenching.

And who else should appear with sister Wade but Crandell and Nielson.  So good to see them. First time since their return from the Hungary Budapest Mission.

Legacy Trails "ADVENTURE UTAH"

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 
We have recently learned that many of our interested participants have been affected by mission assignments, church callings, health and family issues that have diminished our trekker list to just a few. It is hard to say if it will be any better next year or not. Under the circumstances we have decided to cancel the 2012 tour and try for a 2013 tour instead. I will be contact each of you to let you know in detail our decision. 
Norm and Heather 

Did you know that Utah is home to five National Parks, seven National Monuments, one National Historic site and two National Recreational Areas. Plus Utah serves as a gateway to five National Parks in adjacent states. And we will be visiting many of these on the "Utah Adventures" tour.
U.S. resident / citizens will want to obtain a good for life SENIOR PARK PASS for $10.00. This will cover everyone in your vehicle.
Non-U.S. residence / citizens should obtain a 2012 ANNUAL PARK PASS for $80.00. This also will cover everyone in your vehicle.
Otherwise each National Park visit is upwards of $25.00 per vehicle per park or entry. The above passes can be obtained at the first park entry that we hit.

Wedding Day

Norm: On Dec. 20, 2011, Granddaughter Tamra Dawn Deyholos married Nicholas John Rich in the Timpanogos Temple.

The Deyholos family celebrate with the newlyweds. Left to Right. Father Steve, Brothers Taylor and Bradley. (Tam & Nick) Sisters Shelyn, Jenae and Alanna. Mother Sheryl.

Heather: Norm and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful family. We were pleased to have all of our children and 4 grandchildren with us in the Temple for Tam and Nicks sealing. Our family is our greatest joy.
Tam and Nick are a perfect couple and very much in love. We are so happy for them. Aren't they beautiful together?

Norm managed to pry his beautiful Tam from Nick for a turn on the dance floor. You can tell he is bursting with pride. We wish them joy and a long and happy life together. 

Mission Reunion 2002 Mormon Handcart Historic Sites in Wyoming

Norm: It has been almost ten years since we served at Martins Cove with these wonderful folks, yet miraculously no one has gotten any older. It was our privilege to host a Christmas gathering with these old friends.

The party was held in our home at Sand Hollow Resort in Hurricane Utah. Twelve couples attended the two day event.

The Wheelers likely came the farthest coming from Safford Arizona.

We were able to share stories with each other of what every one has been up to and brag about our grand kids. Heather and I presented a fireside of our adventures on the Hungary Budapest Mission.

Through the marvels of technology the Gronnestad's were able to join us from British Columbia. 

Thanksgiving...Park City with the Lyons

Heather: Thanksgiving is the time to gather with our families to express gratitude for them and for all the blessings we receive from our Father In Heaven. So here we are gathered around our  daughter Val's beautiful table with Rachel, Laura, and Sheldon, (Dean's brother). Karli, Andee, and Dean were there too of course! Val took two days to prepare a magnificent meal, which we consumed in 30 minutes!

Andee baked her first apple pie all on her own, she even peeled and cut the apples! At age 7 she did a fantastic job! I think she is going to take after her mother and be a great cook!

Friday we all went to the skating rink for some fun on the ice. Jaime and Nate skated around holding hands, while Karli practiced some figure skating moves. They stopped speeding around long enough to get this cute shot!

Karli and Andee are going to perform in an Ice Review just before Christmas. Andee is practicing her one foot glide! She has been taking lessons for just a little while! We had a wonderful time with our family in Park City but we missed being with the Deyholoses, the Ricks, Pettys, and Derek and family. Can't wait until Tam and Nick's wedding when we will see them all!

A Day with Tamra & Nick at the Air Show

Norm: We are now settled into our home at Sand Hollow Resort in Southern Utah for the winter. Las Vegas is a short drive to the south and a great opportunity to spend the day with our granddaughter Tamra Deyholos and her fiance Nick Rich at the Nellis Air Force Base Air Show.

Nick is a student at Utah Valley University in Aviation Science. He has logged over 200 hrs. air time and currently working on his complex ratings in this twin Diamond. UVU was one of the sponsors of the air show.

2011 Great West Tournament Champions

Not only do the UVU Wolverines take the Conference Championship but take the 2011 Great West Championship as well by beating North Dakota 4-2 followed by a win over Houston Baptist 2-1in  hard fought  double overtime. The tournament was held in Newark New Jersey. A great finally to Jamies 15 year soccer career.

A Great Weekend in Provo

Norm: Utah Valley University Wolverines women's soccer take their conference championship. Our granddaughter Jamie Lyons #12 played another fantastic game. As a senior, this was her final home game, and scored the final goal with 1 1/2 seconds left on the clock beating South Carolina 4-0.

It was like old home week visiting with the Garners and Alex Recksiek reminising our missions in Hungary and remembering the wonderful people that we met there.
