Humphries Family History

  Hi everyone,    Wow, Christmas is a month from today, and Thanksgiving is behind us. It was a good one. Weavers spent it in Utah with most of Kevin's family. Ben's and Sam's families were together in Minnesota. Mobleys stayed home, and Hessings came here.    We (with Hessings) went to Jake's and Lisa's for Thanksgiving and had a nice time. Then later that day we went to Beth's and Kerry's and got to see Grandma too. Unfortunately, Calvin got sick later that night and his family headed home, in case the rest of them got sick too. So our visit with them was shorter than we'd hoped, but it was still wonderful. I hope the rest of their family has avoided the stomach bug.     One of the highlights of Thanksgiving for me was at Beth's when Calvin learned how to play the first few notes of the Darth Vader theme, on the piano. Then to be sure he wouldn't forget, he went around singing the tune to himself, "A A A F C A F C A," so he would reme...

  Dear everybody,    Dad just got home from his trip to Boise/Meridian for Sheriff's meeting and visits. Then he and I went to Rexburg to visit Grandma.  She was kind of weepy at first, but we had a nice visit. Her back seems to be hurting her less than it was.     For Heidi and Dixie: Brother Gail Womack, passed away on the 15th. He and his wife, Chris, were our home teachers for a couple of years in 2nd Ward. He was such a sweet man. I'll attach his obituary.     Not a lot to write about since I just wrote the other day.  I hope that some of you will write and let us know what you've been doing. Stephen, please let us know how your plans are progressing.      Love to you all,  Mom/Johanna/Nana Gail   Marvin   Womack   1944 - 2018   Obituary   Guest Book   Flowers   Gail Marvin Womack returned to his Heavenly Fathe...

  Hi everybody!    With such a busy weekend, the 10th and 11th, I didn't get an email written. So Dad's/Grandpa's birthday seems like the right day to send one. Len, we all love and appreciate you so much! We're grateful for your example in our lives. Thank you for all you do for each one of us. Happy birthday!    As I was looking over the introductory materiel in the Come, Follow Me manual, I found this thought that really meant a lot to me. "We should seek after whatever invites the influence of the Spirit and reject whatever drives that influence away — for we know that  if we can be worthy of the presence of the Holy Ghost, we can also be worthy to live in the presence of Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ ." I have always worried that I would never achieve worthiness to be in our Heavenly Father's or Jesus Christ's presence, but I have often felt that I have been touched by the Holy Ghost . . . so if this statement is true, then perhaps the...

  Dear all,    Wow, the weeks sure go by quickly! I was sick part of this week and missed 3 days of work. I slept, read, watched movies, and slept some more. One movie I hadn't seen before was called Fanny's Journey. It's a French film, but it's easy to watch with the captioning. It's about a group of Jewish children who had to pretty much fend for themselves and make it to Switzerland, during Nazi occupation of France. It was made in 2016, so it's pretty new; I had never heard of it. I recommend it to all over 12, or so. Maybe you parents ought to watch it first and decide.     I've been doing some Indexing too, on the Church website. Like I said before, it's addictive! The batches I've done the last few days have been marriage records from Nebraska (1875-1920), and death records from Rose Hill Cemetery, in Bonneville County, Idaho, mostly from the 1980's and 90's, but some fairly recent. No one we know, but it's fascinating, reading abo...

  Dear everybody!    When I went to Denver last week, I decided to not take my laptop with me, so I wouldn't be tempted to do any work while I was on vacation. So last Sunday evening, instead of sending a family email, I played Monopoly with Ben, Lynsey, Karen, and Joseph, and had a blast . . . except for the part where I went bankrupt first, Ben took over the world, and it was all my fault! :)     My visit there was so wonderful. Besides family (Ben, Lynsey, Joseph, Karen, Sam, Brad, Andi) I got to see Renee Carroll, Doug and Samantha Prisbrey, Sid, Shanelle and her family, Nick and Kari Bengston, ALL the Daltons, and several people at the Elmwood Lane building. The weather was nice, for the most part, and my travels were uneventful.     Dad and I got to have breakfast at Frontier Pies yesterday with a bunch of the Humphries: Reneta, Jared, Tonya, Venae, Spencer, Shalisa, Oaklynn, Carson, Stevie, Lakyn, Ellie, Alexis, Cameron, Dakota, Jonath...

  Dear everybody,    Thank you, Ben, for the email and all the wonderful pictures! You and your family have had some great adventures recently and I'm so glad you have picture to go along with them!     Well, what a difference a week makes, huh? Last week when I sent out this email, I had no idea what was about to happen, or that I would get to see some of you before the week was up.    On Monday afternoon at work, I got a call from Aunt Lynne, letting me know that young Chandler had died. He had been living with her, so that's where the police came to notify next of kin. After contacting Jennifer, Chandler, and her own kids, she called me. So I called Uncle John first, then Gran and all of you. I left work early, came home and got Gran and we went to Aunt Lynne's house. It was sweet to see big Chandler's father-in-law, sitting on the couch talking with Sterling. The first of many former in-law connections this week that could have been awkward, b...

  Hello everybody,    Another good and busy week. Gran is on her way to Meridian with Jocie, Janie, Jim, and Jennifer, to attend Uncle John's wife, Annie's United States Citizenship ceremony tomorrow, in Nampa. They'll stay at Hessing's tonight and be home tomorrow night. I think they're having supper tonight with Hessing's and Weaver's. Thanks to both families for making them all feel welcome.     Stephen, you must be busy with work and mission preparations. Please keep us informed on how it's all going for you. This is very exciting for us all!    Dad's knee is healing well; the two incisions are looking good, and we can remove the stitches in a few days. There has been very little swelling and he says "no pain." It's the best surgery result he's had on that knee!    Yesterday, Gran and I went to Lexi Christensen's bridal shower. She and Jordan Hanks are getting married next month. Then last night, we had Keaton Prisbrey over ...
