James chose to get baptized and become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Not only is he handsome and very smart, but he is just such a nice boy.
We are very proud of him and love him so very much as well.

Mirror Lake 2015
We spent three days, two nights up at Mirror Lake in the Uintas.
There is no doubt why it has that name. This was how it looked on my morning run.
And it sparkled in the evening as well.
We hiked, biked, paddled and fished away the days.
Is it just me or does anyone else thing this log looks like an overturned crocodile?
Is it still considered camping if you make Belgian waffles with fresh blueberries and cream for breakfast? Ahh the benefits of a trailer. (That and the whole toilet issue makes me a fan. Plus, safety from bears and lightning are good things too)
The Rodeo
Dave and I took my Mom and Dad to the Ogden Pioneer Days Rodeo.
Birthday Boyz
We celebrated three birthdays in July. All three of them the "oldest" in a category.
Alex. Our Oldest Son.
Cody. Our Oldest Son-in-law.
James (also known as Spidey). Our oldest grandson.
After dinner we had delicious cake, made by Ashley.
I sure do love these three guys! I hope they had a happy birthday indeed.
Old timey family photos
While at the reunion, I took pictures of pictures. So yes, the quality is horrible. But I wanted to get these because I may not ever get another chance to see some of these photos of my Grandpa and Grandma Niederhauser and other relatives, many of whom are no longer living. At least now they will be in my blog book for my own posterity.
Grandma Violet Bindrup Niederhauser (my dad's mother) She was a very classy lady.
Grandpa Alma Joseph (AJ) Niederhauser (my dad's father) He always had me laughing.
Violet with snowshoes.
AJ and Violet.
Grandpa used to raise ponies.
Grandma with one of her sons (could be my dad, but I'm not sure)
My grandparents had a lovely farm.
Grandma loved animals.
My dad Karren (left), Mark and Kathryn
I can remember my grandparents when they looked more like this.
You never think of your grandma as being so flexible and agile. This was her in high school.
Okay, this picture of Grandpa was taken in the early 1960's. He is holding the rope between his teeth. My dad says Grandpa would even put the rope around his neck. (Don't ever do this kids. Not safe!)
Siblings: Mark, Clare, Kathryn, Lynn, Bruce and my dad, Karren.
Mark and Dad
This is my great Grandpa Christian Niederhauser. I never knew him. He died a few years before I was born. He came to the USA from Switzerland.
I never knew my Great grandma Katherine Hostettler Niederhauser, either. She gerw up in the same town of Guggisberg, Switzerland as my great grandpa. They got married after they came to the US.
These are Violet's parents. Elizabeth Schenk (from Switzerland) and Nephi Bindrup (from Denmark). So my dad is 3/4 Swiss and 1/4 Danish.
Grandma, skiing with one of her beloved dogs.
Uncle Mark and my dad on their horses.
Another of my dad's horses.
I love this picture and what Grandma wrote (below) on the back of it.
