  Hi everybody,    Yesterday was Grandma's birthday. Dad and I went to IF to do some shopping before her party and I ended up getting sick, so Dad just went in for a few minutes and then brought me home. He said she seemed good though.  Let me give you all Aunt Reneta's phone number, in case you have a chance to give Grandma a call. It is 208.821.5171. Our anniversary didn't turn out to be quite like we had hoped, but we were together all day and that was nice! Dad has a head cold too, so we'll get better and then we can come see you all; that will be the perfect celebration!     Jocie's birthday is today; I tried to call her and just left a message. I'll take her present to her tomorrow.     Randy Bradshaw passed away last Monday; he was working in Wyoming, but lives in Rigby. I got in touch with his youngest sister, Kayla, and was able to send a card to Karla through her.  I always liked Randy; he came from a rough home, but was a...

  Happy birthday, Natalie! I hope it's been a good day; we all love you so much! Now, dear everybody. Getting ready for Christmas is such a busy time; I hope it's not so crazy that you're unable to enjoy it.  Dad and I will be having our 40th wedding anniversary next week, but with work and other commitments, we won't be able to do anything that day; so we're going to go to the new Star Wars movie on the Monday after. Our anniversary is also Grandma's birthday; we'll be getting together with all the kids at Reneta's for dinner. Reneta doesn't live that far away, but I haven't made it down to visit her like I hoped I would; I'll try to do better in the future. When you kids were little, we went down to visit both Grandma Christensen and Grandma Humphries at least once a month.     I've included a picture of a page from the newspaper insert called LDS Living. It is about a missionary couple, Ric and Rebecka Page, serving in Jackson, Mississ...

  Dear Everybody,     Stella turned 3 yesterday! From the pictures it looked like a wonderful birthday, with a Rice Krispie cake too! I especially liked the video of your twirly dress.  Love you, sweetie.    Ben, just got your email. Thanks so much. It sounds like you've all been keeping pretty busy, but making lots of memories too. The "multitasking" shot of Joseph is so cool!     Yes, Dad and I enjoyed "The Final Countdown."  And speaking of good movies, Dad and I went to see "Murder On the Orient Express" last week. Very good, beautiful scenery, lots of great actors, and it's an Agatha Christie!    This afternoon, Dad and I watched a Netflix Christmas movie called, A Christmas Prince. It was cute, kind of like a Hallmark movie. Anyhow, the actress who played the Queen, played a different kind of Queen in another movie. Does anyone know? :)    Scott Howard and his wife, Janalynn, had a baby girl a week or so ago, th...
