Humphries Family History

Hey everybody!    It's been great to see some of you just recently...and it will be great to see others of you very soon!  Summer is wonderful, for making it easier to get together. Wonderful memories and precious pictures too!     Happy birthday to Ben and Bradley today!  We hope you're having a wonderful day.    Aimee and the kids are on their way to meet James in Montana, before leaving in the morning for Minnesota. I didn't get to say goodbye today after Church...but hope they will forgive me. I went in to work, and just got home a little while ago.    The camp out was good, if not warm and dry. Although, I came home with a sunburn on my face!  Dad/Grandpa took good care of everyone, as usual, feeding us well. Thanks to all the hard work from everyone, especially Dad, Zach and Stephen.    The Egin float took 3rd place in the 24th of July parade.  There were several others that were very good. But the Gra...

Hi everybody!    Extra busy week, huh?  Hard to believe that Independence Day is already over. We had a nice Ward/community flag raising ceremony and breakfast. Dad was over at the Church cooking pancakes at 6:30 that morning. His pancakes got raves, of course.  Over 100 people came out.    After that, Dad went to work, and helped his officers at the zoo, otherwise known as Island Park.  So many tourists this weekend!  And of course, the hospital was extra busy this weekend as well. And it was my weekend to be on call. I got home this afternoon about 3:30, and Dad just walked in the door. He will be going to North Carolina on Thursday to represent NACO. He will be one of two guys on a board to present the program and answer questions. He'll get home the following Wednesday.    He spent most of Friday with Senator Crapo, at town meetings in Ashton and Island Park. He was explaining to the Senator and his staff, all about First Net, and...

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...
