Friday Night Sleepover

Friday night Richard and I had a sleep-over in a big tent in the backyard. We had a great time!  Ethan wanted to go home at 11:30p.m. so after his Daddycame and picked him up I went to bed in my own bed and left Richard in the tent with the other grandkids.  The next morning we got up and went to Krispy Kreme Donuts for a real sugar High.

A Week in St. George

In early July, we spent a week at the Green Valley Resort in St. George. Geralyn, Andrew and the boys, Steve, Stacey and Anderson, and Julie were all able to come down. We were sorry that Mike, and Garrett, Stephanie and the girls couldn't be with us. We had a wonderful time swimming and relaxing.

Richard and Andrew were able to get in a couple rounds of golf.  Richard liked the churches where there were golf carts parked outside on Sunday with the golf clubs all ready to go.  What a great way to hold priesthood meetings!

Since the boys are crazy about dinosaurs, Susan and Richard took them to the dinosaur museum in St. George.  A few years ago, they were excavating and came across thousands of dinosaur footprints preserved in the sand.

Richard's Missionary

Richard is with Enoch Miles in 1968 outside of the Northshore Stake Center in Wilmette, Illinois just north of Chicago.   Enoch baptized Richard in 1968. He was transferred shortly after that and they lost track of each other until last March when Enoch emailed Richard and they were able to have a tearful and joyful get together for the first time in 40 years.  They met at the MTC where the Miles were preparing to leave for a mission in Ghana.  

My First Blog

This is my first blog and Stacey has been doing all the work to get me set up. I would highly recommend that you old people use the younger ones to help you with your blog. Today I have just been babysitting since little Seth had his ear surgery. He is doing good and we can't wait to see what he will look like when the bandages come off. I am preparing for the the Fourth of July fun so there will be more posts to come.
