Sunday after dinner we decided to head up to Snowbasin to see if the colors were changing. Well they have started to change but not as much as we were hoping. We were just able to go for a short hike before it got dark. We keep forgetting how early it starts to get dark. We attempted to get a few pictures but surprise, surprise the boys were not in the mood.

Here is Mark being a nice daddy. Both boys were not in the mood to walk, Jones' foot was hurting ( due to a football accident, and yes the one that he broke ) and Jaimin never likes to walk very far but after falling into a pile of cow manure he decided he was done.

Milton Reeder Nelson 1923 ~ 2009 Our dear husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, friend, and neighbor Milton Reeder Nelson passed away September 4, 2009. Milton R. Nelson was a thoughtful, considerate, generous, and humble man. He was deeply committed to family and friends and never spoke an ill word of anyone. Milt was born May 10, 1923 in North Logan Utah to Francis E. Nelson and Elvira Reeder Nelson. After graduating from South Cache High School, Milton served as a navy pilot in World War II. He was honored with six gold stars and the Distinguished Flying Cross, yet he never spoke of his own heroism, only of his friends with whom he served. After the war, Milton attended and graduated from Utah State University where he met and married A. Renee Russell in 1952. They had three sons, Rourk, Brett, and Rick. Milt had a very successful career with Mountain Bell, retiring after 31 years of service as a Commercial Staff Supervisor. After the death of his wife Renee in 1996, Milt married Della L. Russell. Milt leaves behind many loved ones who will miss him very much, including his son Rourk (Cynthia), son Brett, son Rick (Jill) grandchildren Tony (Rebecca) Nelson, Natalie (Joshua) Marsh, Cami (David) Chambers, Greg (Kjersti) Nelson, Vanessa, Michael Smith, three great grandchildren Raegan Renee, Dyer, Samantha Claire and his wife Della Russell and her wonderful family. He was preceded in death by his great grandchild, Brady Nelson and first wife Renee. He was loved dearly by his family and will be deeply missed.
