We are making our list and checking it twice for a fun Christmas activity everyday until that happy day. 

Heidi- UTAH STATE

So Heidi is a college girl now. She is at Utah State. Hard to believe, but she is. She is off on her own....learning and growing and all that good stuff.  Here are a few of the photos of her first few months away.

Is this brownie Tuesday or Pizza Thursday? I can't keep them straight.

Heidi has her own unique style. Love it!

Siblings Lunch

While Robyn was in town the siblings went to lunch at the Blue Lemon in Salt Lake City for Noel's birthday.

Missing: Jeff and Karen

Cemetary Fun!

Robyn has been in town and has the genealogy bug inside of her. So she invited Karen and I to go on a trip to cemeteries where we have family buried. We began in Heber where our mother was born and raised.

 This is the house in Heber that our grandfather Cummings (Pops) built for his family, our mother, her three sister's and mother. This is not how it originally looked. It has been added on to.

 This is our aunt Lois's house right next to Pops and Grandma's house in Heber. Pops also built this home.

 Me and my lovely sisters, Robyn and Karen with Pop's and Grandma's house behind us.

Grandma and Grandpa Cummings

We then headed to the Heber Daugthers of Utah Pioneers Museum and found many family articles.
