Humphries Family History

  Hi all,    Well, the first month of 2017 is almost over...where is the time going?! I know we feel that we are busy, but we don't have kids and their activities keeping us busy, the way you all do. We really enjoy hearing all about what you are up to and the pictures make it even better. Thank you for taking time to keep us in your loops!     On Monday, Sam texted me with a link to a story about a guy who had recently joined our Church. He was someone pretty special to Sam (back in the day), so I'm going to let him tell you all about that.    Then the next day, Dixie sent me a text with a picture of Cal, working on an old digital adding machine. She explained that they had found it for him at DI for $2 and he said, "This is the greatest day of my life!"    Then yesterday, I got a text from Ben with the picture below. Evidently we had an adding machine like the one Cal has and Ben had asked me a question that we tried to figur...

  Hello everyone!    Let's see...another week has flown by. On Tuesday, Bonnie Moon, from our Ward, gave the devotional address at BYUI. Her husband, Brandon, used to be our Bishop; she has her doctorate in Mathematics; they have four children; her mother is from Idaho and her father from Chili. It was a wonderful talk; if you have a way to listen to it, I think you'll really enjoy it. Especially if you know her, which some of you do.    Today in Sacrament meeting, Dad spoke about politics and religion! He did an amazing job. He used the 12th Article of Faith, Doctrine and Covenants section 134 and a talk by Elder Hales, but also told some personal and professional stories which had everyone's attention. I was super proud of him and it was sweet to be sitting next to Grandma and see how proud she was of her oldest boy. :)    This week at work is my busiest week; I am in charge of two big meetings which are held on the 3rd Wednesday and the 3rd Thursday...

  Dear everyone!    First off, Happy birthday to Sam coming up in just a few days! It was nice to talk with you the other day while you waited for Bradley's plane to arrive from DIA. I hope you're having a wonderful birthday visit.    Ben, thank you so much for the email and for the video! It looked like a beautiful day to go skiing; but as clear as the sky was, I imagine it was pretty cold too. Those boys are going to be hooked; the ski resort knows what their doing. :)  So, you'll be off to Japan again soon. Wow, who would have seen this coming! I hope the work goes well and that they are more prepared for your crew than last time.    Last Monday, the 9th, Dad was sworn in again as Sheriff. This could turn out to be the last time...I guess we'll just wait and see! They've made a few changes in personnel recently and are off to a good start on this term.    Last week my partner couldn't go visiting teaching with me so Gran offered ...

  Hi everybody,   First off...Happy birthday to Luke on the 5th and Kevin on the 6th!  It was so nice to get to talk with you both. And I'm happy that Dad was in Boise for a meeting and was able to get in on the birthday party! But it's good to have him home again. We're getting some snow right now, but I don't think it's anything like what you've gotten in Boise recently. We've had a lot of cold weather; -23 is the lowest I've seen at our house. But it's 28 degrees here right now...about 50 degrees different and I am sure happy about it.  What about the rest of you; how is the winter so far in Moscow, Littleton and Apple Valley?   Uncle Jim spent Christmas at Autumn's and Mike's house and just got home a couple of days ago. He took the shuttle from SLC and got to Rexburg about 2 am. Joseph picked him up and took him home...it was about -20 at the time. I'm sure he was wondering why he had left California!   This weekend at work I've ...

  Dear all of you!     My first time to write 2017...seems like I was just getting used to writing 2016. I believe the years go by faster as we get older.     We had a nice New Years Eve; we stayed at home and puttered around. Then in the evening we went to Spencer and Shalisa Bowman's wedding reception. It was mostly attended by family and Aunt Venae had all her kids and grandkids there, so Dad took a family picture for her. Shalisa's mother (Stacy) and grandmother (Betty) have been co-worker/friends of mine at the hospital. Grandma had gone to town with Beth earlier in the day and just met us there, then came home with us.    Christmas here was so wonderful. We had the Mobley's with us! They arrived the evening of the 23rd and were able to stay until the morning of the 29th. Lots of game playing, puzzle put togethering, snow fort building, eating, playing with Moose...and by the way, Moose seemed kind of lost or depressed for a day or two a...

  Happy New Year! I found this picture from a few years ago and wanted to share with you all. Ben

Hello everybody!    Next Sunday will be Christmas Day!! Aimee, James and the kids will be here!! Today is Heidi's and Kevin's anniversary!! Happy anniversary, you two!    Dad and I had a nice anniversary weekend. Driving down to SLC on the 17th, it was fun to remember making the same drive 39 years ago, the day after we were married. We spent our first night in Idaho Falls at the ???, I can't remember the name...it's still there, but it's no longer the nicest, or the newest hotel, like it was then. In Salt Lake, we stayed at the Travel Lodge for one night, but the place smelled bad and we found a place with some cute little cabins and were very happy with there. We didn't realize it at the time, but we left Dad's bathrobe on the back of the bathroom door at the hotel in Idaho Falls. By the time we realized it and contacted them, they had given it to charity. Several years later, I think about 1982, Gran and I were shopping at the Idaho F...
