Claire & Peppe

Well, it was Memorial Day Weekend and our 2nd week of taking care of our granddaughter Claire. One of her favorite things to do was go for a ride on Peppe with Grandpa Bentley. Grandma got some candid snapshots of the event.

Claire and Grandpa out for a little drive on Peppe our little mule. Claire thinks she is hot stuff when she gets to get on Grandpa's truck as she calls it. She would just sit back and look at everything when we were on our ride.

Claire has the look... Just wait until I get old enough to drive this thing....

Claire Bear

Grandma got Claire all bathed up and decked out for the day. So Miss Claire got all posed in her Monkey Chair Grandma had to buy. For sure she knows when the camera is out!

Claire and Jewels each trying each other to see if the word "tolerant" exists. They have had a time getting used to who is the boss. Jewels intimidates and but in the morning gives here kisses.

Hey Turkey Turkey

It was a cool May morning... Scott and Danny were out on Peppe (the rhino) in search to a Tom Turkey... in the distance the two eagle eyed hunters spotted a group foraging along... they kicked the Rhino in high and the chase was on... a little slow on the trigger and a case of Turkey Fever, Danny jammed his brand new Remington 870 Super Magnum... Ole Tom Turkey was off the other side of the pond keeping a eye on his flock of girls...the other boy turkeys ran off to the tree's. Scott leaped from ole Peppe and was on a stalking mission to get the Old Tom... his plan worked and one shot with his 870 Super Mag and turkey soup was in the bag!

Boys and their Toys

The new toy to get us out of town...

Grandstaircase Escalante National Monument

Molly's Nipple a land mark in the south end of the GSENM. It is a huge rock that can be seen for hundreds of miles.

Looking North from a flat butte we call Trophy Knoll know this for the many huge mule deer taken from the area. We had lunch a hundred yards back from this point. We took Peppe out on his first real test.

This rock sits by itself off the path near Park Wash and the Kitchen Corrals on the monument. you can see some of the work the ancients did. On top of it some of what our generation did to it...

Mamma Jo

Mamma Jo and her gift from Papito. She will be ready to hit the hills with those boots. She had better not take them off or she will never find them again.

Weekend with Our Kids

It was a warm morning in the city of Payson, Utah...in order to make it through the day Jenn and Peg had to visit the local drive up window....Caffeine Fix! Corrupting Miss Sydnee with a morning fix... so do we really know what girls want?

Grandma & Grandpa got to tend Maddy and we did our best to spoil her and of course give her whatever she wanted.

Briley Tae Griffiths

Briley's blessing day. Snapped this pix of her and Aunt Peggy just after the blessing. Can you believe all that hair.

Aunt Jessica Griffiths and Miss Briley relaxing after a lunch on her blessing day.

On her big day Briley had lots of family to hold and mug on her.
