Catching up!

I guess it is time to do some catching up now that I have this new blog!

Our family is doing fine.  We are sooooo busy as Grandparents with our grand kids.  Starting with our oldest, Kayla is working for a care center in north Ogden,  It is her first real job and she is enjoying helping those elderly folks get the most out of each day they have left.  I so admire someone who can care for the elderly and sick.  I like happy things and don't do well with that, Good thing the Lord gave me creative talents instead of nursing.  LOL  Hali is a senior in high school and loving every minute of it.  She wanted a car of her own, so she got a job at a Pizza place and bought her the cutest little red car.  Both of Shelley's girls pull good grades and we hope they will be able to go school to better their lives.

Todd's kids, who lives close to us here in Weston, are growing up way to fast. Abbey is a Freshman at WSH in Dayton and quite the little (or should I say tall) "social butterfly".  She plays Volleyball and we love to travel from school to school with her watching the game.  She is doing really well.  We kinda hope she decides to play basketball as well.  Kinley is 11, and the cutest young lady.  She is almost always happy and brings a lot of joy to us. She also plays volleyball.  Bodie, our youngest, going to be 7, and our only grandson, just started 1st grade and he is playing soccer .  If we only had his energy LOL.

 

Mother is slowly ageing to where life isn't much fun for her.  Her energy level is low and she has a hard time remembering especially dates and time.  It really frustrates her. Clair is thinking about retiring from the Franklin Post Office and I think he will before the first of the year.  He bought himself a new truck and a nice new 5th wheel trailer and Robert and I are trying to convince him to come south with us.

 

Bob is doing really well, a miracle in fact, the treatments he so bravely endured at the Huntsman Cancer Center in SLC worked for him even though the Dr's were not sure they would.  He is between treatments right now and making the most of his retirement.  He comes up to Preston quite often to work his part of the farm and we are lucky that we get to do some camping and 4 wheeling with he and Clair when he is here.

Brent and Nedra are happy new grandparents to a cute little girl named Pasley, born to Kelly and Cody just a few months ago.

Gary and Sherrie just traded in their pickup for the prettiest new green car.  Gary works for Trenton Feed, or is it now Intermountain Farms.  Sherrie is a beautician in Smithfiled.  They have a nice home in Preston and keep the yards just spotless.

We don't get to see Lori and her family much now that Mother is at Heritage Home.  She keeps busy with their grandchildren and they enjoy spending time when they can at their summer place.

Robert and I are shocked as to how fast the summer has gone by.  It won't be long till November when we plan to go back down to the warm weather of St. George so we can make it through one more winter with my arthritis. I still say that if Medicare would just send us all south for the winter they could save tons of money on drugs!  LOL.  We try to go 4 wheeling in our RZR side by side at least once a week and we sure have seen some amazing country and the most beautiful wild flowers this year.  One of our favorite rides was to the "Old Ephriams Grave" up Logan Canyon.  I will have to tell you story of him for those who don't know. I attended my 50th PHS Class reunion and the Famous Preston Night Rodeo and the Franklin County Fair are over for one more year. 

I am loving working with about 170 clients through Heritage Makers where I encourage and assist others to tell their lifetime stories and preserve their precious photos by publishing one of our beautiful albums. I have a commercial Kodak scanner and help many to scan years worth of family photos to be uploaded and prserved forever.  I was just able to attend our annual Heritage Makers reunion/convention in SLC where I took several classes to learn more about being the Heritage Maker in my family. Ask me if you are interested.
