Humphries Family History

  Hello everybody! But mostly, Happy birthday, Ellen! 13 today! We love you and hope you're having a wonderful day, dear.    Dad/Grandpa is in Reno Nevada this week for Sheriff's meeting. On his way there he went to Twin Falls for State 4H shooting competition to support some of his 4H shooting sports kids, two brothers. They did really well; the younger one took first place in his age bracket and the older one took third place in the Senior bracket. Placing that high in the Senior bracket, qualifies him to go to the National competition! Having the support of such an amazing teacher has really paid off!    Heidi, Luke and Shelby spent a few days with us and just went home yesterday. They came mainly to support Jane and Jocie in Relay for Life. But while here they got to spend time with both grandmothers, Beth and Hannah, Heidi's friend, Christine and her children, etc... The time went too fast, but it was a great visit! Thank you for coming!  They were eag...

 Dear everybody!    Happy Father's day to Len, James, Ben, Sam, Kevin and Zach! You're each so awesome! I hope you're having a great Father's day today. You're kids are so blessed to have you as their Dad. I was really blessed with my Daddy. I loved my Granddaddy Templin too; he was very dear to me, although I didn't get to see him very often. I didn't know my Grandfather Haeberle; he died many years before I was born. I did know my Grandmother Haeberle's (Nana's) second husband, Curtis Haines. He was the sweetest man and took such good care of my Nana.    This next thing is mainly for Aimee and Ben; your teacher from Parker-Egin days, Sharon Hill, passed away recently. I remember how very much you loved her as a teacher and it was obvious she loved you kids too. I'll include her obituary below.     When I don't have anything going on I like to do Cryptograms on my phone. They are usually quotes from famous people: authors, actors, scientists...

  Hello everybody,    The other day, it was my day off and I was running around, trying to get a lot done. I'd been working in the yard and here in the house, when suddenly I realized I didn't have my glasses. I had been in many places inside and out. I retraced my steps, even emptied the wheelbarrow I had just filled with weeds, but no glasses. Dad helped me look all through the house. I sat and thought about the day and the fact that I had been in such a hurry to get a lot done that day, that I hadn't said my prayers or read my scriptures like I usually do. So I knelt to pray and then read my scriptures, like I should have done in the first place. Then I decided to go outside again. I wasn't thinking about the glasses, or anything really. I walked over to the corner of the dog run, where the wheelbarrow had been leaning when I first went outside. I stood looked down for some reason and there in the grass were my glasses! It's good to put first things first. :)   ...

 Hello all you nice people!    The other day I was watching a big black beetle (a stink bug) make its way across the room. When it turned a corner it suddenly started walking backward, as quickly as it could! I wondered why and then noticed a tiny, tiny, little ant coming toward it. It was terrified of that little ant. I decided to put the beetle outside and picked him up in a tissue. By the time I got to the front door with him he was really mad! He was vibrating and making a low rumble noise. He thought he was pretty tough then; good thing I didn't pick up the ant with him!    Emma's graduation was well attended by family. Her folks, Charley, Jocie and Janie sat right behind us, her Potter grandparents right behind them. Gran and Uncle Jim sat next to Dad and me. Jack was in the band and choir.     The carrots are starting to come up now; one nice long row along the edge of the bricks. The tomato plants are still not looking very good at all, so...
