GREEN THUMB......MAYBE NOT

This is the Smith family garden. It is Brenda's year because Brenda and Don fight if they work on it together. However, Don has spent some time secretly weeding. It has been fun to eat beets, carrots, cukes, beans and squash from it. Brenda did not share the peas. We are looking forward to tomatoes.

The Hupp Family Reunion

Tremonton Park, July 11, 2007

Reida and Herman

What a legacy

Rudy, Ella and Anna

Rudy and Ella left Germany with their mother after her husband died. She left her entire family after losing her husband and Rudy's twin brother, Richard (who died in infancy) to go to America. She had joined the Mormon Church and was encourged by the missionaries to take her family to Utah. How courageous. After settling in Utah, she met Herman Hupp who she married. They had a daughter, Anna.

Brenda and Don are there for Ella

Brenda and Don represented Ella at the reunion and stood and told things about her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ella was the oldest of the three children: Ella, Rudy (who was a twin) and Anna.

Margaret introduces Rudy's children

Margaret, holding her grandchild in the center of the picture, organized the reunion. She did a wonderful job. She actually delivered the little girl she is holding.

Richard Hupp and family

Richard shared many growing up stories at the reunion. He sheepishly told how he had started a major fire in the farming area and certainly regretted it. He shared a story about grandma Done. Grandma Done was a few years older than he was and when he visited the family, then living in Providence, she would take him around to visit her friends with her. It made him feel cool and he thought she was sooooooo beautiful.

Parker Hupp and family

Parker and his family live in Vernal. Parker's name came from the same source as many of your children's middle names. His mother Meada was the daughter of Don's grandfather's brother (figure that one out).
