Bear Lake

Bear Lake has a special place in my heart now, seeing as it was the reason I met Jesse.

My family had our family vacation this year up in Bear Lake and I couldn't of been happier about it! The water is so blue, so warm and SO much fun! I was sore for days after because of a little game me and my SIL's made up on the wave runners.. "Hold on for dear life" is what we should call it!

Berklee loved the water! The first night we just wanted to go down and throw some rocks into the lake.. oh no, Berklee walked right in!

Fun in the sun, sand and water!

She probably sat there for a good 5 min. trying to get every grain of sand out of her toes... saying over and over again "uh oh", "uh oh", "uh oh"!

We hit up the park at night and got the energy that was left in our kids out for the night. Boy do kids love slides and swings! :)

And while the girls and Grandma and Grandpa were with the kids at the slides our hubby's were deep in conversation with one another.. hahaha what girls right?

We had such a fabulous weekend!! Thank you to my parents for making it all happen! We definitely took away many many memories and I'm sure we all gain a few pounds from the many raspberry shakes we HAD to go get in our Mazerati.

Stuart M. Winegar
1918-2011

Our beloved Husband, Father and Grandfather passed away peacefully on July 21, 2011 at the age of 93.

Stuart was born February 18, 1918 to Thomas E. Winegar and Vilate Muir. It was said that he was born in a Corn Flake box, as his parents ran the mercantile co-op in West Bountiful, T. E. Winegar and Sons, where he began his career.

He married Evelyn Argyle on August 13, 1941. Over the next 70 years they taught their children honesty and integrity and instilled in each of them a hard work ethic.

He loved his country and joined the Army Air Corp in 1943 where he served served for four years.

After returning home he and his family opened the flagship grocery store Winegar’s Supermarket on Highway 91 in Bountiful.

He was active in the LDS church and served two missions, the first in Hawaii as a young man in 1937; the second later with his wife, Evelyn in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

He was a founding member of Associated Food Stores and served on the Utah Retail Grocers Association as a board member and also as its president.

He was proud of the fact that at age 93 he was able to renew his drivers license even without glasses. He had a delightful sense of humor and would come alive with a microphone in his hand in front of a crowd. He was famous among his 29 grandchildren, 58 great grandchildren, and 4 great great grandchildren for his hilarious rendition of Hard to be Humble. He could always remember each of their names and would recite them each night as he lay in bed. He was an important part of their lives. He left a legacy of love and devotion.

Preceded in death by his parents, his sisters, Luraine Lee and Jean Bangerter, his grandson, Zachary Winegar, and two great grandchildren, River McQueen and Jaycee Winegar.

He has two surviving brothers, Dick and Wayne. He is survived by his wife Evelyn and children: Sally Barber (Phil), Dee (Gail), Dirk (Linda), Bill (Barbara) and Rock (Susanne), and his grandchildren.

Oh how I'm going to miss my Grandpa. His stories, wisdom, laugh, hugs and kisses. He was such a special person in my life and I am thankful everyday for him! I can't wait to see him again. He has had a very special reunion with his parents which he hasn't seen his dad in 50 years and his mom in 30! I love you Grandpa!

How fun are 15 month olds!

Berklee's walking has turned into running, her jabbering is starting to turn into little words and her little personality is coming out more and more.

She is one stubborn, loving, happy, energetic, teasing, playful 15 month old.

Our days are mostly spent outside. I'm sure we spend at least 3-4 days at the pool where Berklee isn't so much a fish as she was last year but she more loves to run around the pool throwing balls into whoever may be swimming. I hope next year she'll turn back into my little fish!

We love summer around here. The sun, the bbq's, the swimming.. Berklee loves her some summer corn too!

She has all 4 front teeth on top and all 4 on bottom and is beginning to get those molars.

Amazing all the things she can still eat with only her 8 front teeth!

Berklee still loves all food and I couldn't be happier about it. I know the time is coming that she is going to refuse food and only eat crackers, so I'm soaking it all in while I can.

Berklee found her favorite movie... Tangled!

And this is where she likes to sit while she watches it...

She is also our little climber. She likes to use her "chair" to climb onto the couch and then proceed to climb higher and higher...

Still sleeps 12+ hours at night with one wonderful 3 hour nap during the day.

She got 3 shots at the doctor plus had to get her blood drawn for led and iron. So sad!

stats:

We love you Berklee girl!
