Branson-Nauvoo Vacation
If I knew how to do the photo thing I would probably include a picture of us on vacation. We flew away at 7:30 am Tuesday from SLC and arrived at around 4:00 pm at Branson. Cute place nothing too exciting. We went on the Branson Belle for a luncheon tour and really enjoyed ourselves. That night we had tickets to the Andy Williams Variety Show. Just loved it, just like on tv 30 years ago. Then ate at the Moon River Restraunt next door. Next a.m. we drove across the state to Illinois, Nauvoo. Stayed at the Woodruff Hotel across from the beautiful temple. We spent Friday going for rides and walking through restored homes and shops. Next day we went to the temple early and then drove to Carthage Jail, then to Hannible, Mark Twains birth place. Took the tours and the showboat that night for the dinner show. Next day, Sunday, went to church and more touring. Monday headed out to Adam-on diomin, Far West, and Liberty. Getting pretty tired. Stayed at Independence and flew out Wednesday. So glad to find things at home had been taken care of. Ask to see the scrapbook I made if you want to see pictures.

Labor Day Weekend

LaborDay weekend was a good one for us. We loaded in our four wheelers and covered over 100 miles. We started on Big Johns Flat, made several stops, including a great coke float stop in Marysville, gassed up and back up the mountain to our vehicles then back to the cabin. The wind got cold and just about froze us on top, but we made it and really had a good time.

For all concerned, let's have a work day on Sept. 20th. Bring your ATV's, chain saws, gloves, rakes and lunch, and come and lets make the wood pile larger, so when it is burned as the first snow flies, it will get rid of a lot of the old logs we don't want.
Love to all, Evan and Faith and Family

Stapley Reunion

Thanks Wendy for the great pictures!

Keith and Denise Gregory & Family

We had a wonderful vacation down in St. Maarten in June.

Had a wonderful 4th of JUly with the family:




And we missed the reunion because we were at the beach:



But we hope to be there next year. We have four grandbabies now! Ryan has 3 little girls: Hannah, Emma, and Payton. And Matt and Katie have a little boy: Carson. We miss you all and wish we could see you more often, but this is a great way to connect!

Wendy & Danny Inkley

Our family has just been having fun this summer, playing, traveling, reading, and going to Lagoon/Lagoon-a-Beach. Danny is working with his dad at SDS, a market research company and he also imports and sells stuff on Overstock. He's still in the Bishopric even after two new bishops. Someday he'll get this thing right and they'll release him. Until then, I enjoy refereeing the actions of my four small kids for 70 minutes each Sunday during Sacrament meeting.I'm taking another year off from teaching preschool. I've decided to just teach when my little ones are four years old. Fun! I'm trying to loose baby fat and read a few good books.

Brigham started second grade today and is very good and following rules and is learning to play the guitare. I can't spell so help me out on that one. Our new mac tells me it's wrong but I don't know how to fix it. Walter will officially start class next Monday. Kindergarten should be a blast with him around. I can't wait to hear stories about what he says in class. Maclayne will enjoy a traveling preschool that I have set up with five other moms. She digs pretending to be a princess and is very cute. Isabelle is holding strong at 25 pounds. She hasn't gained an ounce since Christmas 07. She can say stuff but only we can understand what that is. Fun, cute baby. That's us, thanks for asking. Wendy
