Family Updates

Scott took the family to Universal Studios this year, since he was the only one that had been.  I thought it was a lot of fun, and Brittany really liked seeing all the special effects they use in movies and all the movie sets.  Cole liked it for most of the day…but by the end…

May 9, 2009 – Quail Creek Dam Brittany’s 5th grade class went on a field trip to Quail Creek Dam in Hurricane, Utah.  Since I’d never been, I thought I’d go along as a class chaperone to check it out.  There was a lot of construction going on when I was there, and not sure…

April was a great time for me. For several years, I’ve made posts on here, on Facebook, and anywhere else I could think to try to find where Billy Lyon was! I consider Billy my brother since we spent almost every weekend together when I visited my dad. We’ve been through a lot of rough…
