Humphries Family History

  Hi everybody!    Well, today was our first "at home" church service, and it was wonderful! As Dad prepared, blessed, and passed the Sacrament, we prayed, sang, and studied together, I kept picturing each of your families doing the same thing. It will take some getting used to, but by the time we do get used to it, it will probably be time to start attending church  at the church  again!     Spencer was baptized yesterday! We're so proud of you, Spencer, and loved the picture of you and your Dad. Nice that Naomi and Noah could be the witnesses, and that they caught sight of that foot in the air!    Grandpa and I had hoped to attend the baptism, but for several reasons, it feels like we did the right thing by staying home. He has so much going on right now, with the Bishopric  and  the Sheriff's office.     Since my friend, Cindy (aka Syndee), passed away, I've been helping Randy a little bit with getting so...

  Hey Everyone-   Hope all is well wherever you might be today. I’m here in our basement, watching the snow melt away with the warmer temps we are having. The snow is melting much sooner this year than it did last year, which is fine by us! Appreciate the email, Ben, on what’s been happening for you guys in February. Pretty neat BFA recognized you and Lynsey like that – well deserved! You guys have been super involved there over the years. It will be a new chapter in your life to have Joe move onto another school. Good things will come in the next chapter – I’m sure of that!   As Ben mentioned, we had a great time in Colorado the weekend of Valentines day. Natalie and the girls came along and so it was a full family get together for us, which was awesome! Prior to our trip to Colorado I went on a short sales training trip to Chicago where I learned more about specialty yeast products and condiment powders – nothing too exciting, but it was a fine trip. The girls of course...

  I was working on family history this evening and came across this visa application. Dad didn't remember seeing it before. I added it to his Memories section on Family Search, and thought you all would like to see it.  Proof I had hair once!  Looks like I was in need of a haircut.  I obviously had seen this as my signature is on there but I do not remember it.  This would have been around the time I left the LTM for Washington D.C. I love this! Thanks so much for sharing, Mom! ~ Heidi Hi Everyone, Thanks for the evidence of Dad's hair Mom.  I do remember it but as with my own hair, it's been a while since it had much impact on the world. :)   The month of February was super busy and fun for us.  Lot's of regular and extra work for me so with that I've hit 200,000 miles on our van.  Definitely a milestone, but as many of you know those Honda's can do much more.   Lynsey organized and ran one of the dances at Joseph's schoo...

Dear everybody,    Happy birthday Naomi, dear! 13 years old tomorrow! We all love you so much! Have a wonderful day.     It's been nice walking weather, for the most part. It gets into the high 20's and once we get to the main road there's not much snow or ice on the road. A scarf, hat and gloves make it really nice. And listening to a good book while I walk is enjoyable too. Right now I'm listening to To Kill a Mockingbird. Not sure how many times I've read or listened to it. Probably about the same number of times I've watched the movie.     Today in Sacrament meeting, the High Councilman speaker was Alvin Winegar; he is also Dad's head Jailer, and his family lives around the corner from us. I think everyone there got a lot from it. The one quote he used that stuck with me was from Elder Ballard, who said, "It's more important to prepare the messenger, than it is to prepare the message."     Dad and I went out to dinner last night...

  Hi everybody!     Just a brief review of January: 4- We cleaned the church today, with Daris and Donna Howard. 6- Gran, Jocie, Jane, John and I went to Jim Hamilton's funeral. Our families have been friends since we moved in across from Jim and Marion in about 1965. He was born in 1928, like Granddad. 7- Gran's and Granddad's 70th anniversary! 15- While studying 1 Nephi 7, I came to "how is it that ye have forgotten . . .?" and was amazed all over again that Laman and Lemuel could forget lessons they had learned multiple times. But as I studied I recognized the same weakness in myself. I forget that I should limit sugar . . . for MANY reasons. But still, I have to learn it over and over again. It's always interesting to me how many times the word Remember is used in the scriptures . . . and sometimes even remember, remember! The scriptures really were written for me. :)  16- Gran, Jocie and I went to Valeri Moses' funeral today. She is Jennifer's mot...

  Hi Everyone,   Since we all have some history here I thought I would share this with you.  The River Mile is a redevelopment plan for  the land where Elitch Gardens currently is that is projected to take 25 years to complete.  Funny since it's only been there for about 25 years...  The theme park will continue to function through the first phase of construction (which will be where the parking lots are currently) and will then be moved to a new location on the east side of Denver. The video link below tells some of the story and the articles are interesting if you want to read up on more details.     https://vimeo.com/386830660   https://denverinfill.com/blog/ 2018/03/introducing-the-river- mile.html/comment-page-1    This article is from 2018, but the pictures of Denver through the years are worth seeing.   https://www.5280.com/2020/01/ inside-one-of-the-largest- redevelopments-in-denvers- history/?fbclid= IwAR0HZmuDK7g...
