Busy June Weekend

We are getting ready to go to Gilbert to the open house at Cory's parents.  We had a great weekend last week.  Saturday morning we got up at 4 am and started our weekend adventure.  We went to the Alb. Temple to do Baptisms with the youth.  Sister Armer had a flat tire so we took Anna and Hank Costner with us.  After the session we went to Papa Felipe and had a great buy one get one free dinner. Then we got on  I-40 and drove to Joseph City,  Arizona.  Cory was raised there so there was a reception at his   grandparents,  Brother and Sister Miller.  It was great.  They have a lot of family in that area.  Marion and I left at about 7:45 and headed out to SLC,  Utah.  We had a great night drive and arrived in SLC about 6:30 in the morning.  We attended church with Randy and Kristin where Randy was put in as second counselor in the Bishopric.  Marion was able to ordain him as a High Priest, and then he was set apart by the Stake President.  What wonderful blessings were given!   We got to see Brad-he flew in from Maine. A business trip. We stayed and relaxed on Monday and came home on Tuesday.  It was a great weekend!  Off we go again!!

Well it is now June 14th.  A busy day!  It is Flag Day.  It is Grandpa and Grandma Wells' 74th wedding anniversary.  Melissa and Cory have been married for 2 weeks.  The reception in Kirtland is over and on to more activities in June.  It was a beautiful day in Manti.  Melissa looked beautiful and of course Cory was handsome.  This has been a hard thing for me--to see my little girl married and on to a life of her own.  Where has the time gone..  That means that I'm a bit older than I think.

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.....
