Jessica and Hyrum - MOVING DAY!

Garvin and I have decided...that MOVING is for the YOUNG!

smile

We, however, had a GREAT time...with John and Ramona...

helping Hyrum and Jessica move to their new

home...What a SWEET deal they were 

blessed to receive...

They are to manage this HOME...and take care

of "6" girls rooming in the basement of this

home...that are students at BYU-I!

Their blessing...is CHEAP RENT!

and SO MUCH BIGGER than their

little apartment!

smile 

LOVE their new home...!

3 bedrooms - 1 1/2 bathrooms...

REALLY NICE BACK YARD...with TWO apple trees!

and a few raspberry plants...(that need attention)

smile

 Jessica is directing the work...

John and Ramona brought DOUGHNUTS!

Two friends of Hyrum's who WORK

where he does...came and help with the

initial move...

 Garvin certainly had a "cushy" job...

 Holding up the mattress...

 Got to have some FUN!

Montana - Part 4 - Saying our "Goodbyes"...

22 August 2015

Saturday

"Whitefish Train Station"

Abe and Annie's schedule to leave on the train...was 7:46 a.m.

They needed to leave the Egley home around 6:00 a.m.

As it turned out, due to all the fires in the mountains 

of Montana...their train was delayed...another hour...

 Just arrived at the train station...

 James all ready to go...

 Maddy all ready to go...

 Stephanie comforting Kenzie...

She did NOT want to go...

 This picture...touched my heart...

Kenzie so wanted to stay...

simply resigned she must go...

A bit of a brave smile...

 Larry - Garvin - Abe

in more conversation...waiting for the 

delayed train...

 It was announced...the train would be arriving...

 However, it was the "freight" train...

that pulled in...FREIGHT CARGO had TOP PRIORITY...

PASSENGER TRAINS...had to WAIT...

FREIGHT companies OWNED the tracks...

therefore...the concern was...if their PASSENGER TRAIN was going

to be allowed to come through...BEFORE they

shut down the TRACKS at 10:00 a.m.

due to the FIRE hazards...

 Came back into the station...it was QUITE CRISP outside...

Annie, Jacob, Bunny, the girls, and Stephanie

 Stuck this in here...so you would know...

I was actually there for all the FUN!

smile

Abe and Mama

Kenzie needing to be with her Daddy...

A BIT of HISTORY

WHITEFISH, MONTANA

This really is a really nice train station...

I would love to take a train ride sometime...

However, there are NO passenger lines

into Idaho...

 Entertaining ourselves while we wait...

 Few more moments with her Mama...

 Grandpa Larry keeping Maddy warm...

 James KNOWS what he wants...

his Daddy!

smile

 Sweet picture of Maddy with her Grandpa Larry

 Their train made it through!

YEAH!

 All ABOARD!

Beautiful "Old Glory"

Montana Trip - Part 3

These are the remaining pictures...I took on the

Friday we spent with the Egley family...

at the Egley home...

 Due to the smoke and fires in Montana...

it had an interesting cast on the sun...

 McKenzie - quite reflective

 The woods behind the house...

 Maddy...and her ball to match her 

sandals...head band...and shirt...

smile

 I loved this stump!

 Lots of "smoke" in the air...

from all the fires...in Montana...

Abe...James...Garvin...

enjoying each other...out-of-doors...

Catapillars made out of GRAPES...

with "candy" eyes...

 

 We all LOVED THEM!

 James ate the "eyes" off first...

smile

 McKenzie is holding on of the "zucchinis"

I brought up from Idaho...

that I grew from our garden...

 Another view of the smoke...
