UTAH

In Utah we have our son, Lee, and Sheila's sister Cathy's family. We are staying with our friends, the Taberts. While here in the SLC area we want to attend our niece's wedding, do some work at the Family History Library, finish a paved tiered patio for the Taberts that we started last visit, see Lee and Cathy, and parts of Utah we haven't seen before. 

Our niece Rebekah (Bekah) was married on 1 June 2013. 

With her are Sheila's sisters Val from Arizona, Cathy from Utah and Sheila.

Bekah with the groom, Nick, and her family: 

David, Dad (Brian), Joseph, Moriah, Mom (Cathy) and Anna

Cath's children are involved in many extra-corricular activities that keep them all busy. 

We were able to

attend some of their end-of-year presentations.

Anna plays piano, flute and saxophone, and as here - sings.

David plays the trumpet.

Joe, middle, is the family's handyman. 

I think he would have loved to have worked on the Tabert's paved patio with us. 

Here are the steps going in. Two more sections to go in.

Thom gives a lesson on replacing sprinkler heads

Sheila helps to stain the fence

The steps are finished.

Our son Lee with his friend Jenny.

 

Utahns love the great outdoors.

We try our hand at horseback riding with Cath's friend.

Thom walks his horse, Doc

Sheila on Flo, our host, and Sheila's sister Cathy

We take a short cut; Flo sinks into soft sand and drops to the ground but Sheila stays on 

until Flo starts to roll to the side - then she's off in a flash!
