Second trip to Snowbird.

Such a beautiful resort.

Dawson is ready to ski again.

We are up on a deck looking down. We can see him shortly after he gets on the lift.

Started on the slope...

right away in his 2nd lesson.

Finished for the day.

We drove to the top of his slope to see what this side looked like.

Winter indoor lacrosse.

Dawson is on the left side of the referee. Getting ready to face off.

He's in the clump...

fighting for the ball.

Christmas present for Dan.

Keegan's boyfriend loves "Hobbes" in the comic strip.

Many long hours sewing.

The stripes were sewn on by hand.

Proud of her accomplishment.

Introducing.... Hobbes.

New Years day ski trip.

The boys are getting fitted in their ski gear.

Ready for the 1st lesson.

They were so excited.

1st ski lesson...

They were the only 2 people in their class.

Long trip up...

Fast trip down, but it was fun watching them.

By the end of the day...

the boys were skiing so well.

Keegan stayed inside.

Working on her Irish Literature.

Next time she will ski.

Keegan regretted not skiing with the boys.

Happy New Year!

2014

Christmas morning.

The kids love to see what's in their stockings. Keegan had cooking utensils this year.

A different kind of stocking.

The boys received fruit and health bars in their stockings.

Trip to Antelope Island.

We were heading out on a deck to see if we could spot some animals.

It was cold, but so beautiful.

The colors in the sky and water were pretty together.

Keegan looking for movement.

We saw both antelope and buffalo.

Crazy kids!

Can you believe these 2 had shorts on?

It snowed all day.

Both Keegan and Mastan flew in this day. We spent many hours at the airport because of the storm.

Nike trying to catnap.

The Christmas tree is ready.

Now I just need to wrap the presents and put them under the tree.

Ready for Christmas.

I have a very small area to decorate. Much different than when we were in Wichita and Phoenix.

Our Thanksgiving visitor.

She makes my heart sing. I can not get enough of her when she comes home.

The traditional picture...

In front of our home. Wherever we may live!

A walk after dinner.

My goal was to get a good picture for Christmas cards.

Our complex is very pretty.

A great place for pictures.

A good time together.

I wish I could capture their relationship in my pictures.

Dawson was sick...

the entire Thanksgiving weekend.

More pictures.

They just go along with whatever I ask of them.

Thanksgiving 2013

This is the last picture in this group.

View outside this morning.

Slight amount of snow dusting.

House all decorated for the Fall.

The picures of our home are mostly for Mom and Dad, since they can't come out to visit.

Dining room.

The chandelier is too big for our table, so we are going to get a smaller one.

To the loft and our bedroom.

Nike loves the open stairs.

Back view of our townhouse.

Driveway in back.

We are the 3rd house in.

Keegan, Dan and friends.

They went to a dance near Wash U.

Keegan sent me this picture of her dorm.

This was the 1st time I have seen her dorm too. She decorated it so cute.

Dawson dressed up as "Dorothy".

His wig was so thick he couldn't wear it with his helmet on.

The team getting dressed...

to play their Halloween scrimmage.

Wonder Women running after Dorothy!

Group picture.

Orange jumpsuit man is Coach Dan.

Dawson took 1st place, Wonder Women 2nd, Tinker Belly 3rd.

I should have made them put their wigs back on.

We took a day trip through the Alpine Loop.

The roads were very narrow up the mountain.

More pictures of our day trip.

The weather was very cold.

You would never know it with Dawson wearing shorts.

Enjoying our day trip.

The 3 of us hardly ever have the day off together.

The Fall leaves were so beautiful.

Winter storm brewing in the mountains.

Home Depot's parking lot looking to the east.

Home Depot parking lot.

Facing the west.

Museum at Utah Olympic Park.

This areal ski jumps into a pool.

Pool at the bottom of the ski jump.

You can see Park City in front of the pool. This is the last pic of this group.

First snow in the mountains.

I have attached 24 new pictures.

Welcome to our new home in SLC.

Come visit us anytime.

This was taken from the front of our townhouse.

There is a creek that runs through the complex.

Picture taken out on the back deck.

The door from the kitchen goes to the deck.

Picture of "my" kitchen.

More pics to come after we get more settled in.

This is an open room on the opposite side of the kitchen.

It is a built in island/table that we sit at.

Dawson's lacrosse game is about to begin.

I just can't get over the beauty of the snow capped mountains.

Dawson is running towards us.

He has the white helmet, white jersey and navy shorts on.

He is running in to help with the face off.

Sometimes it was hard to watch the game. ha ha

I found myself taking pictures of the scenery instead.

Dawson is holding up the keys to "our" new vehicle.

We needed a car for him to drive! It's supposed to handle nice in the snow.

We were standing on the foothills on the east side of SLC.

Can you see the Salt Lake on the west side of the valley? The entire light pink glare below the mountain is the Salt Lake.

This picture was taken during our pre-trip to SLC.

I added a few pictures taken in Kansas. We were having so much rain before we left...

Mushrooms were growing! The one on the right was the size of a plate!!

The week before leaving Kansas

Keegan and I went to the Wichita zoo.

I got some really nice pictures of...

Keegan at the zoo. (I miss her so much)

I loved that Keegan wanted to go with me.

We had the zoo to ourselves.

All of my friends kept telling me how nice the zoo was in Wichita.

We both enjoyed it and was so glad we took the time to visit it.

Lacrosse team getting ready to play in the snow. Dawson is #27.

May 2013 in Wichita KS

Nothing stopped their team from playing.

Not even the snow in May! (Dawson center)

Dawson in center (face off)

They had to shovel the snow to see the lines on the field.

May 2013 Wichita, KS

We were shocked to see it snowing, but it was so pretty.

It snowed 15" in one day!

This is the last picture from Wichita, Kansas.

Our special guest for Thanksgiving

We all had such a good time together.

They really missed each other

It was so fun taking pictures

of the kids together

The next few pictures are of

the kids goofing around out back

I love this picture because...

rarely does Dawson smile with his teeth showing.

Keegan on her tippy toes

trying to be taller than Dawson!

Peter visiting Keegan during

their Thanksgiving break

Thanksgiving 2012

This is the last picture for this blog

Just a few new pictures.

Hopefully more to come after this week.

Everything is decorated for Thanksgiving.

I have 2 Clematis vines. They are growing so fast.

I'm so proud of them :)

We have wild sunflowers growing in front of our wooded area out back.

My roses were so beautiful this fall

This was taken about 3 weeks ago.

This was the weirdest thing. The power lines were full with birds sitting on them.

They go on way past my photo. Last picture from this blog.

Happy 18th Birthday Keegan

at "The Cheesecake Factory".

They wrote around her plate

Happy Birthday To You

Gateway arch in St. Louis

David and I went to the park

where the Gateway arch is located.

Keegan on the way to St. Louis

with everything stuffed around her.

Dawson has the ball

Group picture of Dawson's team.

There are a few more guys on his team that didn't make the picture.

Group picture of all 4 teams

Dawson is standing in the back row on the line. Last picture on this blog.

Happy Father's Day to my Dad.

We all love you so much.

Just a few of my favorite zoo pictures.

Mr. Lion was very verbal. He kept roaring. It was so awesome.

The baby elephant was only 6 months old.

Mr. Bear is trying to stay cool.

He looks so harmless.

I told Dawson to get used to being in all of my pictures for the next 3 years.

He wasn't too excited about that!

Train ride around the zoo.

Just a few of Keegan's senior pictures.

This picture reminds me of an author you would read about at the end of their novel.

Keegan had fun climbing this tree. You can't tell but it is sort of high and over water.

She has her favorite hoodie on. From Washington University in St. Louis.

She got it the 1st time visiting the univ. before even knowing she would be going there.

Dawson playing summer lacrosse. He is on the right #27.

He was the leading scorer after just 2 games.

Dawson is on the right bent over.

On his summer team there are adults and kids combined.

The more he plays the more aggressive he gets.

In one game he made 3 goals.

Dawson as a refree for lacrosse.

His new job.

The back of Dawson. He looks so official.

Look at my Hibiscus. :D

They are so delicate. They only bloom for 1 day.

There are hundreds of soon to be blossoms on this plant.

I'm so proud of my flowers. In Phoenix I couldn't grow a thing.

Last picture from this blog.

Getting ready to go to Keegan's Graduation Commencement.

I couldn't even get a picture of the entire class.

Keegan is on the left side, second row, in the middle!!

The stadium was packed. The only seats left were not good if you wanted to see the stage.

Keegan is in the center of the stage.

She is shaking the hand of her principal. They are about to get their picture taken.

Keegan and Kelsey walking together after they received their diplomas.

Outside after the graduation ceremony.

YOU DID IT KEEGAN, CONGRATULATIONS!

Dawson and Keegan celebrating the big event.

Congratulations Keegan

Keegan and Kelsey were so happy it was official and they were finished with high school.

This is the IB ceremony at the high school. You can see Keegan walking in. Peter is in front of her

Keegan's name was called to cross the stage.

She is receiving her IB stole.

Keegan and her best friend Peter

Keegan and Kelsey will miss each other like crazy.

I always like to get a picture of Dawson and Keegan together. They are best of friends.

This is the last picture of this group.

Happy Mother's Day to Mom and Aunt Gretchen.

Happy 80th Birthday Dad.

Uncle Orville and Aunt Gretchen with their 2 new pups.

The medalion is for working more hours than anyone else in 1 year.

Keegan was hoping for at least 1 possibly 2 awards. She was so surprised to receive 4 awards.

Awarded "Best Actress" in a leading role.

Awarded "Best Actress in a One-Act" for this play.

Awarded "Best Student Writer" for this One-Act play that she wrote and directed.

Last picture in this group.

One of the buildings inside...

the courtyard.

Keegan's 1st college visit...

was here at Washington University.

Dorm rooms at WashU.

It is called the "South Forty" where the undergraduates live.

Picture taken from the front parking lot.

The University is so beautiful. If you get a chance look it up on-line.

Standing at the entrance of WashU.

Makes Keegan's high school look little. There are approx. 6000 undergraduates and 6000 graduate students attending WashU.

I'm standing Inside of the front entrance looking out into the courtyard.

Dawson, Keegan and David walking away in the picture.

Looking out from the front entrance of WashU.

This is the last picture in this group.

Keegan's last high school play performance.

Keegan is in the center of the cast members.

Keegan was the last to come out and take the final bow,

She was the lead actress in "Marvin's Room".The play was excellent.

Keegan's character "Bessie" had just learned from her Dr. that she has leukemia.

Even though Keegan has a wig on in this scene, this is her real hair in the play.

This was her sister in the play.

They did not see eye to eye. You can see by the look on Bessie's face, she is not happy with her sister.

Bessie In the hospital with her Aunt Ruth.

Keegan was so believable. She had everyone in the audience crying.

This is not a good pic, but it was the 1st time Bessie took off her wig and showed...

Her sister and the audience her bald head. I couldn't take a picture fast enough. She was already putting on a scarf.

Keegan's best girl friend Kelsey, in real life!

She is a sweetheart. They are really going to miss each other. Although they are both going to Colleges in Missouri, but not the same one.

Keegan and her Director, Mr. Gronewold.

(aka: G) He has been such an influence in Keegan's life.

Getting Keegan ready to become bald.

Step by step photos.

Trying to stuff her hair into the cap

so we can put on her bald cap. Thank goodness Keegan had her hair cut.

Bald cap applied with no make up.

By the last performance, Keegan's head/skin hurt because we literally had to glue this cap on her skin.

End result of Keegan's character "Bessie"...

who was diagnosed with leukemia. She wore 3 wigs in the play. In 1 scene she was bald.

Dawson was so proud of his sister.

I wish all of you could have watched her perform.

A Tornado hit southeast and southwest Wichita

We live in Northeast Wichita, so we were safe.

I have attached several pictures of the destruction

caused by the tornado Saturday evening.

A ferris wheel blew over at an amusement park.

The tornado hit both Boeing and Spirit.

There were many planes thrown around. This is the end of the new group of pictures.

Keegan and friends downtown...

in New York City.

More friends in NYC.

She is 2nd from the right.

Riding the ferry and looking at NYC.

Keegan and her best friend Kelsey

on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Posing in front of a museum display.

They had a great time. (NYC 2012)

After the egg hunt...

they enjoyed their treats.

Keegan kept reminding me this may be her last Easter with us :(

Nine eggs are still missing and the bunny doesn't remember where she hid them!! LOL

Nike kept turning in a circle to find a comfortable spot...

so she could lay down.

She is about 2x's bigger than the basket.

She was still determined.

The kids kept placing eggs on top of Nike.

She still didn't move! She worked too hard to fit inside, she wasn't about to move.

I had 8 daffodils bloom this Spring for the 1st time.

I planted them as bulbs.

Washington University in St Louis, MO.

Keegan had so much fun when she visited this university a couple of weeks ago.

This is the building that she stayed in...

at WashU. She said the dorms were very nice.

"Before picture" on the way...

to the Orthodontist.

"After picture" with Dawson's new braces.

You can hardly see them because the top braces are clear.

Another 10" cut off.

Keegan has donated a total of 5 feet to "Locks Of Love".

She was very sad after her hair was cut off.

It is easier to put a bald cap on her now for her play. This is the last picture to go with this blog.

Keegan at Wichita airport

ready to go to Minnesota

A visit to St. Olaf College

Ready to go through the airport security.

Bye Keegan, have fun.

quit doing homework and play.

Face off

Dawson is in the white shirt

Look for his yellow socks and purple shoes.

Can you see his socks and shoes?

All of the Lacrosse indoor teams

From the Kansas area.

Dawson's team is wearing black T shirts.

He is in the back row, 4th one in.

Dawson's team in a huddle.

Dawson is #27 left side of picture. Look how sweaty he is from wearing his helmet.

It is very hard to take pictures of indoor Lacrosse.

It is so fast moving and we are looking through a plastic window so the ball doesn't hit us.

This is where the team stands while they are waiting to go into the game.

When the players get tired they come into this area, then the same amount of players go back out on the field. It moves very quickly.

Shaking hands with the other team

at the end of the game. We won! This is the last picture to this blog.

Have a great 2012!

If you read my blog 1st you will understand why I have posted the following pictures.

Cheers!

If I had taken pictures during their visit a week ago...

this would be Steve and Nancy. Only taken in Wichita and not a picture from Wisconsin!

My sister Linda and I

(During their visit to Wichita 2 years ago)

My sister Linda, talking to her honey on the phone.

If I took pictures this would be Daniel relaxing at our home!

The boys hanging out together

(2 years ago!)

Dawson, Keegan and...

Their cousin Daniel. (2 years ago!) This is the last picture from this blog. Next time I Will Do Better!!

Christmas morning...

I asked the kids to pose for a picture. They even smiled for you.

The kids will never...

be too old for their Christmas stockings!

Traditional Christmas cinnamon rolls.

They were so yummy :b

We will always remember the good times we had with Ben.

One year ago, last Thanksgiving he joined the Lord in heaven.

We are very thankful for our son Ben.

His life touched every person who knew him. His Facebook page was covered with notes of love and things people remembered about him.

Keegan had just excepted a gift...

for being in the top 10% in Wichita School District put on by the University of Kansas.

Keegan and her sidekick in a play called...

"Much Ado About Nothing" Everytime they came on stage, Keegan would gallop out tooting her little horn.

They were a not very bright constables appointed to watch over the palace.

They were a very silly part of the play.

Nike was helping me...

get out the Thanksgiving decorations.

During half time at the Homecoming football game...

Keegan was recognized as a semi-finalist for the National Merit Scholarship.

Keegan and her best friend Peter who was also awarded.

It would be so neat if they both could win.

Dawson and Keegan.

We are all so proud of her accomplishment.

Some of Dawson's soccer team.

He is laying on the ground.

Dawson is the goalie. He has the long sleeves on back by the goal.

Now you can see him a little better.

This was my camera at full zoom. We can't get very close to the field.

Keegan was a dancer in this play.

Her character thought she was a good dancer but was horrible. Through the entire play the audience was laughing so hard at her attempt to dance!

Keegan with her crazy Grandfather in the play.

Keegan is sitting next to her mother and sister.

The whole family was nutty. The only normal one was her sister. Keegan was the funniest!!

Dawson and Allie getting ready to go to their Homecoming dance at Heights HS.

Allie was the Freshman Homecoming Princess.

I didn't get very many pictures since we were at their home.

Since this evening Dawson is no longer dating Allie. He is happy and single!

Keegan getting ready for East High's Homecoming dance.

Senior year, it is so hard to believe.

Keegan with her boyfriend, Newton.

With her heels on she is a lot taller than him!

They looked so cute together.

Newton is a true gentleman. We really like him.

Instead of taking Keegan out for dinner, Newton made an Asian dinner at his home.

Keegan said he is an excellent cook.

When I decorate for Halloween. I know our home will be decorated from now until The New Year.

In front of the right window is a big lit up spider web.

Zip entertains us when we stay at his house. It was too hot for him to play most of the time.

Okay, it was never too hot for him, but it was for us!!

Zip lost his ball under the porch!

Keegan was helping him look for it.

A beautiful sunrise out on the farm

during our stay in Wisconsin.

During our stay in Minnesota

We spent a day at the Mall of America.

It was impossible to see the entire mall.

A day with the Emshoff's

A Short but a very nice visit. The kids always have fun seeing their cousins.

Where is Uncle Dale and Aunt Linda?

I didn't do a very good job taking pictures of everyone while we were visiting this year :(

We love and miss all of you.

(The end of this blogs new pictures)

My brother Dick and Cindy came out to visit us this Spring.

We are downtown at the Arkansas River. Yes Dawson and Dick are tall, but Cindy is sitting on a rock.

They were able to see Keegan all dolled up for her Jr Prom.

Jr. Prom at East High

Keegan and her best friend Peter went together.

8th grade Graduation Banquet & Dance.

The school went all out at the Marriot. This is Dawson's friend Allie.

The musical was called "Into The Woods".

They were all fairytail characters. In this picture Keegan was Sleeping Beauty. It was weird seeing her as a blonde!

Keegan also played the cow "Milky Way".

She won Best Featured Actress for this role. Plus she was nominated for a District Jester award.

Keegan was a teenager who just learned she was pregnant in this One-Act play.

The scene was very sad and profound. It was hard not to cry.

She is playing a Gypsy woman in "Camino Real".

Three performances she had to slap this poor kid. Keegan is really good in mean roles!

She was nominated for 7 catagories.

Won Best Actress in a One-Act, Best Supporting Actress, Best Featured Actress, and for the 2nd year in a row...Best Kiss!

Dawson goes to all of her performances.

Some of Dawson's track team lined up.

In the middle of the group, there is another kid that looks like Dawson. It was so hard to tell them apart at every track meet! They looked like twin brothers.

Dawson is leading the relay race.

He's handing the baton off.

To the kid who looks like him!!

Dawson's Lacrosse Team

He is in the bottom row, right corner.

Keegan's 3 favorite things...(NOT)

Wearing make up, wearing a dress and the dress was pink!!

This was her "X" boyfriend in the play. A very close friend in real life.

The guy standing next to Keegan was her fiance' in the play.

Sounds like a soap opera, huh? Well it was and it was hilarious.

Dawson setting the ball up to make a goal.

Dawson's new soccer team. He is kneeling in the front left corner.

Dawson has the hot pink shirt on!He is very proud of it. :)

Another view from the back of our home.

This is one of my Hibiscus plants.

It was about 6am when I discovered it had bloomed. The next day the flower was closed for good.

Here is another Hibiscus. These flowers make me smile. :)

They are done blooming until next summer.

The flowers are still in bloom

execpt for my Hibiscus

These Petunia's are so beautiful. They are a deep purplish/black.

These are called " Knock-Out Roses"

They are so easy to grow, I don't have to do much to take care of them. They are still blooming like crazy.

They are so pretty,

I have 4 of these Knock-Out Rose plants.

Dawson helping me get party stuff ready just a few hours before it started.

Keegan and "Mini"

This was the kids favorite kitten

Zip is the smartest dog ever!

He will pick up garbage and throw it away. He brings in the Sunday paper and fetches his collar when it's time to get ready for the day. This is just a few of his many tricks.

This town was called "Dawson"

We went through this town in Iowa

They had great seats in the ballpark

We looked like tourists!

We lived in Arizona for years and the kids wanted their Wichita friends to see all the different pictures of the cacti in the desert

The ride home from AZ!

The kids don't look very comfortable. They were sound asleep. We didn't stop over night from AZ to KS.

Papa goose following. They were so cute. When they came out of the water they continued to stay in a straight row.

Picnic in the park

My poor flowers...

David and the kids gave me money to buy flowers for our backyard.

Aren't they pretty?

See the butterfly?

Keegan in "Midsummer Night's Dream"

Keegan in her wedding dress

At the end of the play she did marry one of the guys who fell in love with her.

Performance called "Flowers For Algernon"

Keegan was playing a wicked mother to this boy who was retarded. During the play, she never smiled! He won Best Actor and Keegan won Best Supporting Actress for this play. They were both awesome.

This is Keegan's husband in the play.

Dosen't she look mean? She broke my heart she was so believable.

Springtime in Wichita

Happy Easter Everyone
