01/25/15 Things change but stay the same

1/25/2015 Lauren, Holly, Kenzie and Katie at the St. George temple   How are things in Spokane? Is it super cold there? Marlee's mom called saying she was concerned that you were freezing up there and might need a better coat.  She says she has a size Large one from her son that served and would be happy to lend it to you.  I asked her to take a picture and have Marlee send it to you so you can see if it looks any better than the one you have.  I don't want to sd it up to you and then have you need to cart it around for 18 months and carry it home if it isn't going to be helpful!  So let me know.  If you think it will work we will arrange pickup and mailing.  It only takes 2 days to ship if I can fit it in a prepaid box.   Katie and her basketball team Which might present another problem.  I am kind of anticipating a transfer for you this week.  So I'm not sure if I should ship to mission home, your address, or just wait unt...

01/18/15 Official - 9th ward; Wendy's birthday and Zion's

1/18/2015 Well it's been a long busy Sunday.  But it's official.  We are now in the 9th ward.  Our ward only includes cotton meadows, hobble creek, the olsen's the long's the cloves.  That's about the boundaries of our ward.  Seems like it's gonna be kinda tiny really.  Sounds like we still have some YM and YW but in the case of the YW they are mostly Laurels. Our new Bishop is Bishop Carnivale.  1st counselor Brother Harrison (Max's dad).  2nd counselor Jerry Clark (Chauntel's dad) and executive secretary Dad.  Clerk Quinn Allgood.   The other ward has Bishop Black, Barry Blake as 1st counselor.  Can't remember who else. Brother Betenson is the new Bishop of the 8th ward. There is a new 7th ward too.  They pretty much took our ward and split it up 3 or 4 ways.   I think the 7th Ward Bishop is Bishop Spriggs. Yup, changes EVERYWHERE! Otherwise a pretty usual week for us.   THe girl...

01/11/15 Uncle Marv dies, New ward boundries

1/11/2015 Another busy week behind us.  Piano lessons and basketball practice and games have started up again for the girls.   Dad's been super busy working girls and boys games about 4 nights of the week. Uncle Marvin (mom's little brother) died this week from colon cancer.  He's the second sibling to die and the second to die of colon cancer.  (Uncle Lee died about 10 years ago).  Sad.  He was just 66 years old.  He is the one from Wyoming that we only see at reunions.   Grandma and Grandpa traveled all the way up to Wyoming in January.  The temperature was like 3 degrees with a windchill of -11.  They were fortunate that no storms came during their quick weekend up there.  All of Grandm'a bro and sis' made it and quite a lot of their kids too.  We didn't.  Dad was working until far too late to make the 10 hour trip up there. They will be home tonight or tomorrow as they make their way back.  They...
