Here I am with my beautiful daughters family. Krista, Brian and Madison. After Christmas break this last January, 2005. 

Cheryl caught me at the sewing machine. I was making a new baby quilt for my future grandson. Maybe Nanci will bring it to the Family Reunion to show it off. 

The man at the MTC. 

Marcus is faunching at the bit to get into the mission field. I had to catch up to help him with his luggage. 

Mom tags Marcus on the big day. 

A proud moment for his close friend and sister Nanci. She appreciates the brand new name tag indicating "Elder Allen". He will be missed by her, but she is very proud and supportive of his decision to serve a mission. He of course is OK with serving in Hawaii. 

Marcus and proud parents at the MTC. This can only be described as a bitter sweet moment. Happy to get him out to serve his Lord and saddly contemplating missing his happy personality at home.  

Grandpa with his riding partner Madison and Curley the spotted horse. Madison just does not want to get off, she wants to ride all day. I think that Curley will miss Madison don't you? 

Madison gets to know the calf. I think that he likes her. 

Grandpa with Madison his little Cowgirl. 

Grandma can still get up there and ride with the best of them! 

Hatching time. Nanci, Mom and Krista are anxious to get started. They are all ready to get their hands on their new family member. Nanci says that natural birth is for the birds, give me the drugs!! 

New baby Wyatt Ryan Archibald. Weight 8 pounds 3 ounces, length 21.5". He hadn't cried until the nurse cleaned him off at this point. 

Grandpa with his new grandson. A proud moment. 

This is Nanci's first real look at her new bundle of joy. When she looked into his eyes, she said hello and he smiled up at her. Seems crazy but it happened. He knew her. It was very prescious. 

Proud daddy. Wyatt seems to be looking at his new dad. 

Proud parents. Baby Wyatt a few minutes old. 

The old leaning shed. 

Living room. 

Backyard and house. 

The front of the old homestead. 

The old garage. Jim and Kathy brought their horse trailer to help move the huge amount of stuff to Island Park. You can see Brian Hobbs, Krista's husband as he goes in for another load.

The old barn and backyard. The barn is already torn down by now, so this is the last great photo of the barn. 

The TV room at Mom and Dad's. Many hours of entertainment.
