1999

Summer 1999. This picture was taken not too long before we moved from Utah to Eagar, Arizona. I love this picture. All three boys look like they are up to something. L-R is Christopher, Franklin (cousin) and Donovan.

Christmas 1999 was spent in Utah at Aunt Carrie and Uncle Ron's house. Grandma and Grandpa Zaugg came a couple days later as the roads were super icy and they needed to stay the night in a motel along the way. Here Russell is helping Donovan and Candace is watching. Christopher is playing with a toy he got. The drive home from Utah was interesting. We got through I-70 just before they closed it. What should have been a 10 minute max drive on it took about 45 minutes as it was so icy. Once we made our exit - the roads were much better. We were so happy to sleep in our beds that night.

All the grandkids on the Zaugg side were able to get together during Spring Break 1999. Aunt Carrie, Aunt Andrea and I took you cousins and got these pictures. They are some of my favorites. In the top picture Christopher is 17 1/2 months old and Donovan is 3.
We have all the boys on the left wearing matching outfits! All the girl cousins are wearing Easter pastels. This picture was taken 20 March 1999 in Provo, Utah. Back row L-R is Donovan 3, Ryan 3 1/2, Emma 5, Karman 2 months, and Kyrsten 2. Front row L-R is Christopher 17 1/2 months and Eliza 3.

2004 Zaugg Family reunion picture

This was a special family picture. Russell had just gotten back from Iraq. We hadn't been up to see any family since the summer of 2002. Back row L-R we have Russell, Erich holding Ami, Andrea, Ron, Carrie, Dad Z, Mom Z and Wendy. Front row is Candace holding Nephi with Christopher, Michael and Donovan in front of her, Emma, Eliza, Ryan, Kayann, Karman and Kyrsten.

4 July 2002 - A Zaugg reunion

We drove for 24 hours straight to come see family this summer. We lived in Eagar, AZ and they live in Sandy/Boring, OR. Right before we left to come up Russell was summoned by the AZ ARNG (army national guard). He was gone doing fire duty for about 1 1/2 weeks for the Rodeo Chediski fire that burned a half million acres I believe. We left town before the smoke got too bad and drove furiously until we got out of smoke range.
All the grandkids up to this point on the Zaugg side. L-R we have Christopher, Donovan, Michael, Karman, Eliza, Emma, Ami (up in the air wearing red), Kayann (wearing stars), Kyrsten and Ryan.
Here we have the dads holding their babies. L-R - first we have Nephi - Ron's brother. He is holding his daughter - I don't know her name. Ron is holding Kayann (known as KK), Russell is holding Michael and Erich is holding Ami.
Michael was so photogenic when he was a baby. He still is. I love this picture! There is pure joy in his eyes and all over his face. He loved being lifted high in the air.

Fall 1998

Playing at Aunt Carrie's house. L-R Donovan, Ryan, Kyrsten and Christopher.

Here we are in Provo, UT at Ron and Carrie's house. They let us come once a week to do laundry - which was a huge blessing. For family home evening in October we carved pumpkins with the kids. Mostly they watched - but had fun doing so! L-R we have Ron, Russell, Christopher, Kyrsten, Candace, Donovan and Ryan.
At the pumpkin farm in Orem or Provo. L-R...Russell, Christopher, Donovan and Candace.

November 1999 Erich and Andrea's Wedding

Erich is Russell's brother. Erich married Andrea on 21 November 1999. It was right around Thanksgiving time so we drove all night from Provo, UT to Sandy, OR so we could be there. They were married in the Portland Oregon Temple and had their reception in Troutdale.
