Moved on in life

Well when did she grow up! Melissa turned 23 on the 1st of February 2012. She has found a good job, a lot of great friends and a Man -child that has stolen her heart. So happy for her and Cory. They are now engaged and will be married on June 1st. Just one more big step in our little girls life. ( or should I say she has moved on to bigger andd better things). The week end of President's Day Mom and Dad went to the big city to have a good weekend of visiting and start the Mom and Dad plans for the upcoming event. Lets just say it was a great weekend and just want to wish Cory and Melissa the best.

I Actually Found It!!

Well I just kept looking until I found it in the Draft section and published it. I did it Melissa. But as you see there are not any pictures. It just takes me some true concentration and I guess I can overcome my fears. Love to you all. Call or come see us.

well I blew it.

Well I just spent about an hour getting a blog to publish and I published it and found I had made 4 spelling errors in it so I figured out hour to edit the blog and then hit the wrong key and lost it all. See why I say I am Tech challenged!!!!!

A few Days in the life of Mom and Dad

No pictures because I'm so Tech challenged! But we have had some great days since the daisy post. We are enjoying our days. Marion has been so busy with his calling as Bishop-- and we have been so very blessed. All the kids have come to see us and we have been to see most of them. We have been to funerals and weddings. We have been to Canada, Mt. Rushmore, Washington, Arizona , Oregon, Idaho, Utah, Montana,and of course New Mexico. We have played with Grandchildren at Halloween, the 24th of July, the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. We watched our baby graduate from BYU. We now have 12 beautiful grandchildren(7 girls and 5 boys). We have certainly been blessed beyond words. On July 27th while in Albuquerque, New Mexico just after attending a temple session and then a temple wedding of a young girl from our ward, Marion suffered a stroke. Because we were in Albuquerque he was rushed to the UNM Hospital and we as a family chose for him to get the stroke shot--His paralzes and muffled speech were gone within 5-6 hours and with all the prayers of our family, ward, and Stake he left the hopital in 2 days and was at Sacrament Meeting on Sunday to hear one of our Missionaries speak before leaving on his mission. Marion and I still have good jobs in the school district. This is my 30th year of teaching --26 in CCSD. Marion is the parts manager and only had to take off about 10 days after his stroke. Life is good here in Kirtland and we hope 2012 wil continue to be a great year. Yesterday we went to St.Johns to a funeral and meet up with Melissa and her great friend, Cory. So fun to spend some time with them. Now I must see if I can get this blog to Publish......herrrrrrregooooes.....

The Daisy Patch

Daisies make me feel good!

This one is for you, Heidi. This year was a good year once again for the Daisy patch. We trans planted a few that had grown from seed in the mini rose garden. They all grew and filled so nicely. I love Daisies. They make me happy!

Family Reunion 2010 in Durango,Colorado

This year Scott and Lindsay were in charge of the family reunion. We met in Durango, Colorado at the KOA campground. The kids loved the swimming pool and all spent a great deal of time there. We all looked at and sorted family pictures and actually was able to get a few scanned into the computer. All the Kids came and we had a great time together. Just a few pictures of grandkids, fixing breakfast, and a fun ride around the campground. So glad Rebecca made it- Scott and Lindsay too. On Saturday, June 12, we all went to Mesa Verde. Then home to Kirtland to spend a night together. We had a great time and it is fun to be together. Love to you all, and thanks for coming.
