Hillbilly Hiatt Hoedown, Pine 2012

What a pure joy it is for me to bring my family to this beautiful, scared place.  This is the Hiatt Family Cabin in Pine, AZ.  I have been coming here for about 40 years for family reunions.  Sometimes it's a pain to actually get here, but once we're here, I love it, and I'm so happy that my family can see and be around their extended family, especially Grandpa and Grandma Hiatt, who they don't get to see very much any more.

This years theme is Hiatt hill billy hoe down.  How fun it was, I loved all of the little touches.


What incredible people these two are.  I love grandpa and grandma Hiatt so much.  They are giving us such an incredible example to live by, not only in the church, but in life!!!



A couple of generations down.  Grandpa and Grandma Biggs, are giving my kids what I loved about my grandparents.  It's such a wonderful gift to pass from generation to generation.  I sure do love my parents and appreciate them oh so much!

Wow, DeWitt, Huge Log there!!

Part of the annual service project.   The boys were to stack all of the wood and they put Scott in charge.  Smart people.

 

Some how this picture of Allison is connected to the other pictures on this post.  If I try to erase one of these about 6 pictures get errased.  So with that said,  Allison opted to serve with the boys!!  You go girl!
I got window duty!  I'm glad to help, because I love this place!




Scott was put incharge of the wood stacking "duty"

I love it when the kids want to talk to Scott or when they have a question he gives them time and thoughtful answers.

HaPpY Father's day to my beautifully, wonderful husband!  Our children our so blessed to have a dad, who loves the Lord and desires to serve him, who loves and shows love to their mom,  who is a perfect example Christ like love and service.  To have a dad who works so hard to provide so much for them, and to have a dad, who wants to give so much time to them.  What a guy!  We are so very blessed.  And what a great guy, who will spend his special day with the in-law family reunion.  LOVE EM!!

DeWitt going off to work, with his lunch bucket!

Polly is trying to help me get a handle on my eating.  Here she put a needle on the spool of thread.  She said if you really want to eat then you have to do push ups and not hit the needle.  Argh, I'm scared.

Polly got braces!!!! June 2012

Scott the worker man.

Eating breakfast.  Scott felt like he was to dirty to come inside so he just came to the "walk through"

So glad to have Allison home for the summer!!  She keeps us smiling!!

Grandma just had her hip surgery, so we're here giving her love!!

Our troops from right here in Safford are being deployed to Iraq.  We woke up early to show our support!!  We do support our troops and our blessed country!!



Dad's birthday.  I don't make this very difficult pie for just anyone, has to be somebody special!!

Another yard sale!! Go us!!

Trying to get rid of a lot of apartment things.  Notice all of the coffee makers.  That felt a bit weird, but what ever!

DeWitt likes to conk out on Dallin's bed.  The hat was made by my blind friend Brenda Brown.  It's for Dallin, but DeWitt wanted to try it on!
