Old Haub Family Photos

An old Father's Day video Lys, Devin, and I assembled for my Dad a couple years back for Father's Day resurfaced recently so I took some snapshots of some of my favorite picture to keep with along with the memories I share on here of my little family! Family is a wonderful things and I'm so grateful it is such a vital part of God's plan and a blessing to have family in this life.



One summer Devin, my Dad, and Gary decided to go on a huge hike through the National Parks ending in Mammoth. My Mom, me, and Aunt Michelle had a great trip renting a boat on the lake and camping in the motorhome all together. The men came home scratched up and tired and my Dad was very cranky (big surprise-haha). By the end of their expedition Gary was carrying most of the equipment. He lives up to his last name, Strong.




When I was around 8 years old my Dad took me to a Daddy Daughter American Girl Luncheon. I still remember it and how happy I was to have my Dad there.





In the Spring of 2015 I went with my Mom and Aunt Pat to visit my Great-Great Uncle JR (the youngest brother of my Great Grandfather Hugh Nelson) and his wife Maureen. They are living in South Jordan in an assisted living facility there. He is so spry for his age and is still as funny as I remember when they came to visit when I was about 12 in Bear Valley Springs. What a blessing it is to be able to meet him and visit with him?! It helps me be feel a little closer to my great grandfather Hugh knowing his brother JR.



I loved growing up in Bear valley Springs. My Dad took me out in the little sailboat on 4 island lake. 

Every Easter I would put my peter rabbit bunny out on my geegee blanket and make a little nest for the Easter bunny to leave candy. I still have this Peter Rabbit and am hoping one of my kids will love it as much as I do!


One year we did family pictures during one of our annual summer trips to Yosemite.


Alyssa found a bunch of cute old family pics that I want to save! I'll do my best to remember details.
I actually have memories of this day with my friends Jenna on this pony ride. I was at Jenna's house all the time. Her family took me out to eat all the time. My Mom would joke that I had tried more restaurants than she did. Jenna was in my grade and her grandma also lived down the street from us and cut Devin's hair until he passed away. Jenna's parents lived just a couple streets away. After seeing Jenna's long hair is when I decided I needed to have long hair too. We both had long brown hair and being the same age people often asked if we were twins. We giggle and say, "no." I remember we were obsessed with Mary Kate and Ashley and we'd come up with adventures like their movie series. Her Grandma would always buy us new games at the store or the latest Mary Kate & Ashley show. 

Haley was another one of my little friends. I think this is preschool graduation. I was kinda a tall little girl haha. Haley and I liked to play power rangers and superman. 

I think the classroom pic is from first grade. I'm not completely sure. I do remember this being one of my favorite dresses though. 

The front door pic is at the avocado house in Saugus, Ca. I'm holding the latest Mary kate and Ashley movie. 

My friends Jenna and I in my room on the bean bags Alyssa and I got for Christmas in our princess dresses. 


I would be the picture on the bus with me and my Dad is on a Yosemite tram. I look like I'm between 1 and 2 years old. 



Preschool or Kindergarten graduation with Mom and Dad. Not sure 

At someone's birthday party. I don't look too fond of Mickey Mouse taking a pic with me. 

My Mom and Dad

Kohl Shillig and I are still friends. I still love talking to her and spending time with her now as much as I did then. 



 For my 12th birthday party my parents asked if I wanted a party or a present. I wanted to take all my friends to the beach in the motorhome. So we drove all the way out there just for the day. 
Left to right in the pic with the boogie boards are: 
Rachel, Lauren Brewer, Kohl Shillig, Me, Sabrina Walker, Megan DeSilva, and Katie Pezzillo. 

Kohly and I took a science class when we were both homeschooled. Here we are dissecting a poor little frog. I remember it smelled really bad. 

 Decorating Halloween lanterns. I still have these lanterns :)
Playing a card game in the tent trailer. I'm sure this is in Yosemite. Kale, Kohl, me, Ian, Micheal 

Playing on the monkey bars on vacation somewhere, maybe Mammoth. 
 I wanted to do something different for Halloween and this was what I thought would be funny. Me taking a bath. I think I saw it in a magazine or something. So there I am in all my tubby glory. 

Grandma Bev and Norm took Alyssa and I on a couple trips to the east coast to tour so many different historical sites. I like to think I gain my skill for travel planning from my Grandma Bev and my Mom. Probably my love for history from them also.
