Labor Day at the Lake

We spent a wonderful weekend with the family at Bear Lake. Anyone that knows our family knows that we are obsessed with Bear Lake! There is no better place than this beautiful lake in the company of our whole family. We had a wonderful time.

Notes from Trudy about 2009

Richard has started the ball rolling for the 2009 reunion at Fitness Ridge in St. George. He is donating time and marketing expertise to try and help the spa bring in enough money to be able to compensate Michelle and Cam financially so they can block out a week for the family. Should be really nice if it works. Richard and Melanie came and spent friday night, Doug and Trudy took them on a horse back ride, and Richard and Doug came back and went for a swim. Then Saturday, the spa's best hiking guide (Leanne, 7 months pregnant) took them on a great hike, we came back and Richard met with Michelle and Cam and Tami their partner again to finalize some marketing details and then they left for home. We will keep you posted . -Trudy

Lyrics from 60th Celebration

Grandma Johnson requested the lyrics from the song Trudy's grandkids sang at 60th Anniversary Celebration Program:

Set to the music of I Have a Family Tree (in the Primary Children's Songbook)

I have a family tree, with branches by the dozen

I have grandmas, I have grandpas,

I have uncles, aunts and cousins too

We're here to celebrate our Grandpa and our Grandma
We love Grandpa and his songs

We love Grandma and we love her treats

How do you do says Grandpa, but watch out for the handshake

Grandma loves to hear us singing,

Always smiling when we sing for her
