62 with much more to do!!!

Sixty-two years ago today, a little boy was born to Byron and Ella Mae McKinnon in Ogden, Utah at the Dee Hospital. He was the first of three boys for them.... He thinks the best of the three, of course!! .... and I happen to agree with him! :>) This little guy was Steve McKinnon.

This little boy grew to be my sweet husband and doer of many things. Here is a group of pictures reflecting his likes, loves and accomplishments.

I hope you enjoy this...

Grandfather of many more than this! October will bring #27!
Senior Missionary 1/05 - 7/06

Nursery Leader...

Lover of big trucks....

Landscaper....

Grillmaster....

Voracious reader....

Highly skilled Relaxer!

All these things and many more make up this great guy... And I have been blessed to share his life for over 32 years. There have been some tough times, and there have been lots of really good times, but all the time he's been at my side taking good care of me, working hard and providing me and our family a good life.

Happy birthday, Steve!
