Olson Family Karaoke

"Pop it, lock it" The kids were so cute to get up and do the Hannah Montana song. They did such a good job.

The Champ of Karaoke!

The most amazing dancer, if only we had an award for that, it would have gone to Uncle Donny for his amazing dancing skills!






The "Dancing Queens" Shirley did an amazing job getting everyone together for this one! It was so much fun being up there with Uncle Larry's family!

Oh soooo cute! "I got you babe" by Sonny and Cher was sung by Maddy and Ginny's boyfriend and dedicated to Ginny! He was such a good sport for getting up to sing with Maddy, it was so fun seeing them up there!

The winning family, uncle Laron's family! It was fun seeing them get so into the song! Hand's down they won the competition!


Uncle Mel, Aunt Deniece and group did a good job as well. It was so cute seeing everyone up there together having fun! Look at Tresa's talent with holding the baby and being the lead singer, it's pretty darn good!


Lynn's group was the first singing "Fun, Fun, Fun" byt the Beach Boys, to get the ball rolling and it didn't sound the greatest. BUT---What we didn't have in voices we made up for in energy and Spirit! Next time we'll have to practice a little better to take home the prize!

Thanks everyone for coming to the reunion, we were scared that we wouldn't have enough people to do all the crazy things we planned, but we had a good, big group show up. We had a lot of fun planning the reunion and loved seeing everyone participate! I can't wait until Christmas and see what's going to happen there!

I LOVE PIONEER DAYS!


Ulysses S. Cline


Born – Bainbridge – Cerulean, Kentucky 06 Dec 1863

Joined the church in 1888 at the age of 25 and because an anti-Mormon mob came for him because of his recent membership in the church – he sold his horse and left Kentucky and traveled to Utah on the train.

He went to Grantsville to stay with Elder Shipp, the missionary who had converted him. This was late summer of 1888.

In April of 1893 Ulysses and Angelia Barrus attended the dedication of the Salt Lake Temple. – Ulysses asked Angelia to marry him that day! They were married on the 27 July 1893 in the Salt Lake Temple.

There children are:
1) Remo Sterling Cline Born: 22 Sept 1894

2) Wilda Barrus Cline Born: 22 Sept 1894

3) Wilbert Barrus Cline Born: 27 Oct 1896

4) Eula Cecil Cline Born: 07 Apr 1899

5) Lavere Benjamin Cline Born: 27 Apr 1902

6) Luella Lovina Cline Born: 12 Nov 1904

7) Thelma Angelina Cline Born: 07 Nov 1911

In 1904 Ulysses went on a mission to Kentucky. He wanted to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with some of his Cline relatives. Some of the men in the “mobs” that had run him out of Kentucky were now listening to him preach the gospel!

In the Spring of 1912 Ulysses and Angelia with their children traveled to Afton, Wyoming. They homesteaded on Bitter Creek and after five years sold their homestead and bought a farm in Osmond.

In 1922 Ulysses found employment in Salt Lake City and they moved back to Utah.

In 1935 they moved to Logan, Utah

Ulysses found so much joy working and going to the Temple.

In 1940 Ulysses and Angelia went to Kentucky on the Greyhound bus to see his relatives.

Ulysses died 06 Feb 1954 in Logan, Utah. He is buried in the Grantsville cemetery.
