St. Thomas/St. John's

Kathy and I joined my siblings in St. Thomas for a week of relaxing, snorkling, and shopping. We took a day trip to the beautiful island of St. John's, enjoyed attending Church at the St. Thomas branch, and just hanging out together. This was our third year in a row of getting together in October in a nice warm tropical location.

AZ/CA Trip

We just spent ten days in AZ and CA and had a wonderful time seeing family and friends. It was great to get together with John and Mary McMahon, Xan Albright, and Heidi, Jared and Marley Ogao. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

Branch Picnic

We had our annual branch Pioneer Day picnic today and we had a great turnout and perfect weather (mid 70's).

I want Chance's Life!

Chance was recently in Montana staying at a friend's cabin (mansion) and spending time on the lake. Who wouldn't want to be in college, single, and have wealthy friends?

Rodney leaves on his mission.

Rodney Johnson left on his mission this past week and entered the MTC in Provo. He is headed to the Atlanta Georgia mission and is the first missionary to leave the Milwaukee City Branch in quite a few years. The picture shows "Pres," (the former branch president), Rodney, and Ken.

Trip to Jackson Hole

In June Kathy and I made a quick trip to Utah and met up with Chance. The three of us then drove up to Jackson Hole, WY and had a great time. We visited the Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks and enjoyed the diverse beauty of both.
