  Happy Father's Day to you all . . . well mainly to Len, Ben, Sam, James, Kevin, and Zach. :)  I hope you have each had a good day. Dad got to talk with all five kids today, so I know that made his day great.     Dad is extra busy, trying to keep up with his already busy schedule and now adding in Bishopric duties. But I think he's doing great with it all. I have been busy with work, RS, and the Interfaith group. Moose and I go for a 30 minute walk every morning about 6:30 and that's been good for both of us.     In case you didn't see my Facebook post, Bob and Rita Paige, and two of their kids (Morgan and Christian) came to dinner last week and it was a great visit. Morgan was still a little girl when we last saw her and now she's a returned missionary (a few years ago), and she went to the Santos Brazil mission! So we had a few brasilian dishes and she really enjoyed that. Christian wasn't even born yet when we last saw Paiges; he is about 17 n...

  Hello everybody!    It's been a busy, but extra good week. Extra good because while Kevin, Luke, and Shelby were all away from home, we got to have Heidi with us for a few days. She was wonderful company and lots of help too! We did some yard work, helped a family down the road move in, went to a movie, and she even had an X-files night with Jocie and Janie. Thank you, sweetie, for spending so much of your free time with us!    Last night, Gran and I went to a convert baptism. Hurst Harames (18) moved into our Ward a few years ago. His Dad and Step-mom were not active in the church and he had never been baptized. His mother wouldn't allow him to join the Church, so he had to wait until he was 18. His Dad and Step-mom have both quit smoking in the last few months and his Dad was able to baptize him. He had a huge turn-out from the Ward, and lots of extended family came too. Howard's youngest daughter, Elli (17), played her harp for the musical number and did a ...

  Hi all,    Last Sunday I didn't get an email sent; we had company! Brad and his Mom came for dinner and then we got to keep him overnight. The next day he and Grandpa went to the range, and later we got in a few games of checkers, both Chinese and regular. Then we took him to Jackson that evening. It was only about 24 hours, but it meant so much to us to have him here. We hear that Naomi is in Idaho Falls for 3 weeks with cousins and we hope to come get her for a day or two as well!  With you kids all living so far away, we'll take every opportunity to see you.     The Fisherman's Breakfast was cold, but it didn't rain much at all. Our Interfaith women's group had a lot of success with our booth. We gave out about 1000 cards for the Jasonfoundation app, A Friend Asks. We gave out over 30 raffle prizes and I think we might have found a name for our group. A man in a booth next to us asked what we were doing and who we were. This was before 5 am, when ...
