Hello Everyone from new little Andrew to 
Peter;       

     Sorry we have been so diliatory in writing because we do enjoy so much when you all write and send pictures.  We know it is busy times for all and appreciate having several family members visit. Stuart, Larsen, and Boston.  Dan and David on Conf. weekend, Frank surprised us on Sunday morning and spent the whole day.  Don and Greshen and family came for the evening to attend the viewing for Dean Mathews.  Virginia, Paisley, Alyssa, Andrew and friend Angel came Mon. and stayed until this morning.

    Stuart and the boys surprised us and spent a few hours in the canyon while mom was in class.

 

    Dan, David Kerry and boys got in on the last of the snowmobiling and think they had a good time. Also went to Priesthood meeting (without Grandpa for the first time in a long time). 

    Frank went to church with us, the first time we've been there for a month, and just had a nice visit and little nap in the afternoon.  He went to the viewing for Dean with Don and Greshen which took two hours.

    Don and Greshen brought the makings for "Lumpy Dick(pudding in old English)" first we've had since they made it last. Kent's children were here also and we did a pretty good job of keeping track of all until the girls all went upstairs to play so the boys wouldn't throw all their game pieces around.  All of a sudden Joe turned up missing.  Grandpa was just getting his jacket on to go look for him when Kent drove in carrying him.  He was down past their house in only in his diaper!  Not sure where he was going.

    Virginia and family had one evening of good weather, riding the little pony, visiting all the animals and driving grandpa's little tractor. Then it snowed ect. and on Wed. she and I shared the stomach flu! Dad was kept busy waiting on both of us. Don't know where I got it but it seems to be traveling quickly through the family with Mignon and Kiana, today.  

    Today Dad is doing what he really enjoys doing.  Fencing!  He has taken his camper and folding chair so he can sit down, to the field and has spent most of the day there.

    Both of the funerals were very nice.  Shirley's family did the whole program including the music which they do very well.  Roy gave the life sketch for Dean's which was mostly the children's memories.  Dean's friend Dan Keller from Preston spoke and Lassie's brother, also Louie Tibbets.  Darrin Mathews sang two numbers and Jane Stoddard and Suszanne Hardy.  Lot's of people there. 

    Better not go on forever but just want everyone to know how dearly we love you all and wish we were closer together but--- if all had "skype" it would help to feel closer.  Not suggesting anything really.        Well, better get to work, as I have taken too much time being sick yesterday and am getting behind.     Loves and hugs to all   Grandpa and Grandma
