Old Time Rock and Roll

Yesterday Chloe had a field trip to a Chinese Restaurant where they had chinese food and watched dragon dancers. Matt was able to watch Mason and Josie so we could go. We decided to take Matt's truck. When we got in the truck and started it up the song "Old Time Rock and Roll" came blasting on. I instantly thought of Dad and how he loved to see his girls drive standard trucks. I knew that this was one of his favorite songs to, so I started to sing along and dance while driving with Chloe. She quickly picked up on the lyrics and joined in. We felt happy knowing dad and Papa Bob was nearby singing and dancing with us. :)

More hunting!

Another one of dad's hunts bites the dust.  He hunted enough for all of us for sure!!

Wranglers

Bob always wore wrangler jeans. One time when we were on a trip. We stopped to see the Horning Family in Ohio. (Kris had served his mission in Twin Falls and spent some time in our home.) When we got there Kris's mom looked at Bob and said "you have a wrangler butt". Bob turned red and was embarrassed. Then we all had a laugh about the comment. She said well you can tell because Bob had been in the saddle alot?

Grandma Baker and kids in 1977

Dad always told us how much he loved Grandma and Grandpa Baker, some of his heros.

Smoke and Hot dogs!

Dad loved to find any excuse he could to go spend time in the mountains.  Were the hot dogs any good Margie?  This must have been before dad stopped wanting to rough it.  I remember the older we got and he got, the more stuff we would have to bring camping and the longer it would take to set up camp.  I miss the times when we would just throw out a foam pad and lay under the stars and listen to some hunting story for the fifteenth time with a new little twist.  I could use one of those stories right now to tell the kids for bedtime.  I just remembered, we have those stories that he wrote a few months back about a lot of those bear stories and other fun hunting stories.  Yeah!  I've got new material for Spencer and Little Bob (Drew) now!!

Biscuts & Gravy

I have been craving biscuts lately and it reminded me of Dad's "Favorite" breakfast. I enjoyed making biscuts and gravy when he was around. Ahh...the good times. I think I need to make some soon.

Baptised with the frogs and bugs!

Two of my heros are in this picture, (not myself either!), Dad and Grandpa Ward.  I'm glad they're buddies again.  They were there to give me many of my 'firsts' in this life, picking rocks to throwing a baseball!
