Humphries Family History

  Hi everybody!    Dad and I got to talk with Stephen this afternoon; we hadn't caught up with him on his birthday, yesterday. He said they had his birthday celebration when he got home from work, last night. He works Tuesday's through Saturday's. He mentioned that he had a friend over for his birthday, that they had cake, he opened presents and then they all watched Apollo 13. That's one of my favorite's too. Happy Birthday, Stephen! If you have time, Steve, please fill us in on your job and whatever else is happening in your life.    Weavers got here Thursday and stayed until this morning and were able to go to the Pioneer Day parade; it was wonderful to have them here. Most of us watched the parade at Jocie's and Janie's. Luke and Shelby threw candy while riding with Grandpa at the front of the parade, and then all three of them joined us for lunch in J6's and J8's front yard.     Heidi, Kevin, and Lucas headed home this morning, because Lucas ...

  Just a short note this week, it's late and my laptop is updating.  Gran and I got home this afternoon from a friend's memorial service and a wonderful visit at Hessings. Here are a some pictures. Gran with Vonnie, Michelle and me, friends since we were 4 years old. Bottom picture also includes Donette and Sharla. They all wore red because it was Linda's favorite color.  Love to you all!  Ben, I hope you're feeling better! Mom/Johanna/Nana

  Hello, all my people!    . . . "It's as hot as July!" A lot of truth in that statement. And I know we'll miss it in a few months. I hope you are all enjoying the heat, or staying out of it . . . whichever you like most. I weeded the garden last evening, after there was some shade on that side of the house. I had tried it earlier in the day, but it was just too hot.     We had Sam, Natalie, and the kiddos here for one night and enjoyed it so much! I'll include a couple of pictures of our pancake breakfast out by the camper and playing with toys and games inside. Sam went for my morning walk with me on Saturday. We saw Tyler, down at the Merc; he was waiting to do some work with Jeremy, who was just getting out of bed. Then as we went around the mile, we saw Laurel and Jubal on their bikes and later saw Karey Hanks biking too.     I think the big road trips are almost over. I just texted with Ben and they'll be home in about an hour. So many ...

  Dear everybody,    Wow, it's July!  Ellen's 14th birthday was last Monday . . . good grief! Tomorrow is Melanie's 8th birthday! And Thursday she will be baptized. So much going on in our family. It seems like everyone is so busy, but it's good to be busy.    Thank you, to each of you for making the effort to stay in touch with each other and also our extended family. I know how much effort it is and it's appreciated. You make the time and put forth the money for travel and extending hospitality. I just want you to know it means a lot.     Dad spent the past week in Grand Island, Nebraska at the 4H national shooting sports competition. He got home yesterday and it's good to have him here. Church was really nice and then this evening we made some Ministering visits together.     At work, things are still pretty up in the air . . . no replacement yet for my co-worker who quit in early May. Two co-workers have kids getting marrie...
