Lucy

I am a little behind on my posts.

I will try to get caught up.

We found a great place to take family pictures.  It is near a  river, near our home.  2T had the great idea to take a family picture in the same location, each in a different season.  We took our summer picture in August right after we moved here.

In late October we took the second.

This time we decided to take Lucy. At our new home we didn't have much room for Lucy to run around, so when ever we would take a drive somewhere that she could go, we would take her and give her the chance to exercise. 

Because we were taking pictures, I decided to get one with her and the kids.  I posed the kids, told them to hold still and smile.  I told them that I was going to try to get Lucy in the picture by calling her over. The kids had strict instructions not to move no matter what happened with Lucy. They posed, I called, she came. Here is the picture.

I was so impressed that 2T didn't move!

Later that night, Lucy was hit by a car. She survived the accident, but had to be put down the next day.  We were all very sad.  I am glad that we had the picture of her the day before.  She was 8 years old.

Roberts, Montana

While driving home from the temple in Billings, Montana, we made a detour through Roberts, Montana population 958. This is the town DSH lived 2 miles outside of for three months of his life in April, May and June of 1985. He has fond memories of this location, and wanted to stop and take photos of where he lived for his personal history. This is what we found.



This is where the house used to be. There was no sign the house ever existed.

One of DSH's favorite memories is of this little stream that ran through the front yard.  He remembers his brothers racing sticks from one end of the yard to the other down the stream.

A picture of Roberts taken from the hill west of town.  The high school is the building to the right of the blue roof.

On the way home we saw this beautiful sunset.  What a way to end the day. DSH even stopped the car so I could take the pictures.
