Elder Spackman, almost


Tyson is ready for the interview portion of his mission call. This is the photo that the Quorum of the 12 will view when he gets to the absolute, for sure, final part of his submission process. Can you tell he is pretty excited? He dreams of going to Germany, or some European place, so I told him it would be Denver, Spokane, Phoenix or Boise North. Everybody likes to speculate!

Grandpa's Tractors

Great paint job on this one. Bob can make these tractors look just like brand new. Pretty fussy. He really loves getting the final effect and taking a ride around the block! Isn't this a great autumn picture?












Another great autumn photo. Our favorite time of year!

What Grandpa Does


Can you tell Bob is in his element? He has completely restored 3 tractors now, this one is Jordan's favorite. (They both seem to be drawn to the John Deere green, but we won't tell anyone he works for Massey Ferguson/AgCo....) The photo was taken Oct 2007, on one of his rides around the yard to hear the grand old "putt-putt" of that engine. Big boys and their toys!

Cousins Christmas

Annual Christmas Party with the Priestley family. These are all 3rd cousins, the 5th generation of Heber and Ida Priestley's lines. This has been a tradition since about 1965, always held the Saturday before Christmas. They hold a special message for our Soldier Adam who is serving in Kuwait. Look closely at the cards!
