Humphries Family History

  Dear all,    First off, tomorrow, Calvin will be 5 years old! Happy birthday, Calvin!  We hope you have a wonderful day and we look forward to seeing pictures of your cake and party!     A few weeks ago I included a picture of a Buzz Lightyear balloon that was being used in the kick off campaign for our new computer system at work. Within a week or so I noticed that he was gone and I wondered what might have happened to him. Well, a couple of days ago I had to go the to IT department for something and as I talked with one of the IT guys I noticed in the very next cubicle, there was Buzz, hard at work. I took a picture so you could see.    The Stake Preparedness Fair was a success. We had about 250 people come through; some stayed only for a little while, but others stayed all day. We had no idea how many people might come, so we had lots of baked potatoes left over, which we sent home with several families who probably had hash browns for l...

  Happy Easter day!    First off, thank you, Aimee, for the letter and pictures.  Anne, I love your haircut!! I think it really accentuates your pretty eyes.  Ellen, the bread and cake are amazing! When you visit next time, I'll turn you loose in our kitchen! Noah, your video is really great; I totally agree with all the reasons you gave for not wanting to be President. That being said...I can't think of a better man for the job than you! Our country would truly be blessed to have a good person like you as president. I'm going to pass along the geography question, to Gran; I'm sure she'll have it figured out in no time. :)  Today is Grandma Christensen's birthday! For those of you who didn't get the chance to know her, she was Grandma Fern Humphries mother. She was born in 1904 and passed away in November of 2004, so she was 100 years and 7 months old. I found some pictures and her obituary and have included them. She was just as spunky as that picture of h...

  Hello everybody!    Tomorrow is Heidi's birthday! We all love you and hope it's a great day, sweetie! I was so pleased to hear that your first semester of the Pathways program had gone so well, even though I know it was pretty tough at first. She might not tell everyone this, but she got 98.49% on her final exam!    Gran and I got to attend Penny Haeberle's baptism yesterday and her baby brother, Titus' blessing today. Penny's baptism went great, but Titus cried loudly through the whole blessing. I think Joseph kind of lost he train of thought a time or two, but did great!      Penny was one of 4 children being baptized at the Stake Baptism and the musical number was so neat; I wanted to tell you about it. Two young girls, probably sisters, about 10 and 12, played A Child's Prayer on violin and cello. You know how they usually have girls or kids sing the first verse, boys or adults sing the second verse and then both together on the third? These...
