We attended the Helm family reunion in Denver this past weekend. It was great to see everyone again. I think it had been several years since we had a reunion. We sat around and talked, played some games, did some shopping and ate lots of yummy food.

Grandpa Helm Visit


We enjoyed Grandpa's visit for three nights. It was nice to catch up with him and hear his stories. We took it easy and hung out on our property taking nature walks. He spotted a bobcat, fox, snake, shrew, several squirrels and of course the birds. We also enjoyed a gooseberry pie in his honor.

Kyla had fun with her energetic cousins as they jumped on the trampoline, rode 4-wheelers, sledded, played card games, and watched a movie. Karen, it was so good seeing you again and I'm very happy you took some time to visit my family and I.

Heather’s Wedding

It was good to see everyone at the wedding this weekend. Everyone looked really good and it had been a while since I've seen all of my aunts and uncles together. It made me kinda miss the former Helm reunions that were such a great time.
Congratulations Heather!
