Sand Dunes

Another year has come and gone and so has another great camping trip at the dunes. Every year for over 30 years we have been going to the same spot over spring break or Easter. One of my relatives came across it and it is the perfect place. Our family is getting bigger and bigger and harder to find spots for trailers, but no worries if there is a will we will find a way. I wish I could get a picture of every year together to show how it has changed and how we have all grown up and now have kids of our own. With our families getting bigger it is harder to all get together like this so we cherish every minute out there. We seem to always make great memories.
The weather was dues to be rainy and windy. So we packed for the worst. It wasn't going to stop us Williams bunch. Friday it rained until about noon and then it was sunny or just a little cloud cover the rest of the time. We give thanks to Uncle Carol, Grandma & Grandpa Williams, and Uncle Gordan for watching over us. We sure do miss them ALL.
I will quit jabbering and let you enjoy the pictures.


He was such a good baby out there. He just cuddled.







This place we love. My grandpa use to bring all his sheep here to get sheered after coming off the dessert. The names are of the men that did the sheering. Most of them came from New Zealand. The nicest bunch of guys. We also wrote our names back in 2007. Another great spot with lots of memories.

 Just to clarify. The girls kicked the boys butt at this game.


 A big thanks for my nephew Brenyn for showing off for us to snap some pictures. My cousin and I were trying out the settings on my camera.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter this year. We spent it with the Bone side in Bicknel. Hayden found lots of eggs and candy to last him a year. To bad his parents will mostly likely eat it before he does.
I've always loved Easter growing up. It usually meant we were going camping with family at the dunes. But this year my mother in law told me something that hit me harder than anything when it comes to symbolizing things to the true meaning. (hope that made sense). Down in Wayne county they do what is called "rolling the eggs" after the Easter egg hunt. They get the hard boiled eggs and roll them down a hill and watch them break. She has lived down there for many years and never knew why they did that nor what the meaning was behind it until this year. Her stake president told her that is was to remind them of the rock rolling away from the tomb. Therefore "He Has Risen". That hit me so hard. I had a whole different look and feeling on Easter. I would like to start that tradition with my boys. Help them relate to the real reason for Easter. Just thought I would share it.
Well onto the best part, PICTURES. For some reason some of these pictures are fuzzy. No fear y'all I, Camille am starting a photography class this month. Hopefully I can take better pictures of the 2 cutest Bone boys EVER to show off!!
