Sorry, no e-mail tonight...playing The Farming Game with Ellen and Naomi!

Sleepover

Happy fathers day, to all you great Dad`s on this list!   I`ve included a picture of Dad on the mower...I think he`s pretty cute! My boss, Mikel (who is about Aimee`s age) is the Achievement day leader in her ward, and my co-worker, Misty (also about Aimee`s age), has the same calling in her ward. They are in different wards in the same Stake. Over the summer they are having their girls be pen pals, make packages for each other, etc... and at the end of the summer, they will get together for a picnic. I thought it was such a great idea, that I wanted to share it with you.    I love my new glasses, but as many of you know, they were loose and I had to wear a chain so they wouldn`t fall off if I had them on top of my head and leaned over. I took them back to eye doctor and his assistant adjusted them and now I don`t need the chain any more...I`m so pleased!    Aimee, I was so happy that you sent a letter of your own last week. I love knowing what you`re all do...

Hello,    I hope you`re all having a good day. Dad is gone to a Stake Priesthood meeting right now. I was just showing Gran some of Jacquie`s and Garrett`s pictures from their trip to Scandinavia, that she has posted on facebook. I hope you can have the chance to look at them as well.    We`ve been having some nice weather here...sunny, but WINDY!    This morning Gran and I went to Jennifer`s step-son, Chase`s mission report. He just got home from his mission in West Virginia.    The most wonderful news this week of course is that Hyrum and Deseree Adamson had their baby girl, Cheyenne, and that the first doctor was wrong...she is just fine. Even weighed over 5 pounds. She had to come cesarean section, but mama and baby are both home now, and doing well.   Dad has been keeping busy, he taught an all day Enhanced Concealed Carry class yesterday, will do an all day 4H class on Monday, and then will teach hunter`s safety every night th...

I forgot to tell you all last week, that Hyrum's and Deseree's baby is just fine, according to the specialist she's just small. They are at the hospital right now for her to be induced. The doctor said the baby will do better outside than she is doing inside. Love you all!

Hi all!    I've been listening to the October, 2010 general conference on CD as I drive to and from work. And one of the talks that I've especially enjoyed is one from the Priesthood session by Elder Patrick Kearon. He has a British accent, and mentions having grown up "on the Arabian Peninsula, so I'm not exactly sure where he's from. But anyhow, his story about some flip flops, and the trouble they caused, made me think of you kids...some more than others! :)     As promised, I found out more about the time that Grandpa Humphries and his brother, Jess, got to see each other while they were both over seas. Grandpa had been in Japan in the Army, and then a few years later, was there again on a mission. By then his younger brother, Jess, was in the Army in the Korean conflict. Jess got a chance to have R&R (makes me think of M.A.S.H.) in Tokyo, and so he and his big brother were able to spend a whole day together.  I love im...

I wanted you to see what I'll be giving Dad for Father's Day...I think they turned out really well! I just picked them up this afternoon. Love you, dear!

Hi everybody!      First off, Dad got home from Kauai yesterday morning, after flying all night...he took too naps yesterday; he never takes naps...especially not two!  But today, I think he's feeling back to normal. He took lots of wonderful pictures, and brought chocolates with macadamia nuts, for the grandparents, some lovely Hawaiian jewelry for me, and a book about all the movies and TV shows that have been set in Hawaii!       While he was out of town, he had his picture in the paper; I included it in this email.  I think it's a good one. Heidi and Dixie, two of the ladies were in 2nd Ward with us. Sister Clark was the RS pres, when we first moved there; and she doesn't seem to have changed much. But Sister Womack, who came home teaching to us, with her husband, has really changed a lot. Ben, didn't you go to Junior High with one of the Womack girls...the one who married (and later divorced) Luke Stodda...

Hello everybody!     Tomorrow is Anne's 13th birthday! We love you dear, Anne, and hope it's a wonderful day! We've really enjoyed the recent pictures of you in your dance group...the best thing, though, would be to see it in person.     I'm sure you all heard about the recent Amtrak accident, back east.  It was the same train that Dad took from Washington D.C. to New York, when we made our trip in January.      Just to follow-up: Boyd Josephson passed away from his injuries. His funeral was yesterday. Mabel got out of our hospital, in time to go to the Idaho Falls hospital, to say good bye to him. Her chest tube, and central line had been removed, but she was still needing Oxygen. Their 3 kids were there to help her through all the arrangements; Celia and Colleen will be able to stay and help her for a while, and Neal and his wife live nearby, so will be here for her in the long run.    Dad is in Kauai, Hawaii; ...

Happy mother's day to you all! I hope it's been a good day.    Today in Church they put our new RS presidency in, and then we were set apart, right after Church.  My counselors are Teresa Anderson, and Peggy Hanks; my secretary is Valerie Davenport (Shawn's wife).  I'll meet with Sister Dewey, the past president, tomorrow after work, to get the low down on what I need to do. And on a related note, Heidi is the new RS secretary in their Ward.     The other day, I ran into Whitney Crapo, she was visiting someone in the hospital. I asked her if Conn was still the Bishop up there in Newdale, and she said that now he is in the Stake Presidency!  They have a son on a mission in Minnesota, Sam has met him; and they have another one who will leave this summer, before his brother gets home. Conn was a young men's leader for Ben and Sam, before we moved to Denver.      Boyd and Mabel Josephson were in a bad car accident on...
