Eliza at Sun River, Kite Festival Apr.2009

Danny Missionary Companions

Eliza keeping track of how many days Danny has been gone with great stickers.

Grandpa Pete is in charge of all the writing on this poster. It is on the side of Net's door so everyone can see it when they come in the house.

We didn't know how to do it all in one shot. It is nice and large and my new hair dresser would like to get one like it for her boyfriend. Can anyone help us locate another one like it? The same size, not smaller. Thanks

This is over by the computer. It was fun putting it up and seeing everything that has been added since he left.

Not the wee this time, but X-Box Scrabble. What a blast they had playing it. I don't think it is my game but it was fun watching them. John finally mastered the controls. Jonah had gone to a prom the night before-and this morning so he was wiped out but he came to when it was his turn.

Eliza was feeling a little ill but she did beat everyone, I think. She is watching Grandpa Pete. Look at the way he is concentrating.

He has moved Grantsville

Welcome to Wendover, NV We made a quick stop to see if this statue was still there. It has moved from the first entrance to the last. This always reminded Mom of Ed. Jan's grandchildren always thought so too. They would see it when they traveled around the horse races.

Pearl and IdaHoggan. What a delightful visit we had with her. She had her 90th birthday March 4th and she is relief society president of her little branch. She has more energy than I have or anyone else that I can think of unless it is Jane, our daughter.

We stopped to see Margie. She is one of Annette's friends and Ida's daughter. She had been ill and really didn't want her picure taken but I told her it was for Annette so she let me take it.

Ida took us around Grantsville. We ate at a great Mexican Resturant, one of two in town. The food was so good and the service was fast. I'm sorry I didd't have my camera with me, but maybe next time. Annette took the water polo team there and it was fun for them. They were short handed becasue some people called in sick but they fixed meals for the players and coach first and then the rest. I think they'll go back again, we will. The other resturant is Chinese.

The High Schcool is very nice and large. All of the surrounding communities go there, but a new one is opening in the fall. That is always a tramitic experience for the seniors. They are the Cowboys. It was fun looking at everything.

Curb numbers

Brothers Ryan Mendal, Jeffrey Chapman and Mark Youngberg painting our house number on the curb. 428

Scout Fund Raiser + Emergency Preparedness for our Red Cliffs 8TH Ward,St. George Stake.

Our Emergency Preparedness committee have offered to paint the curbs with house numbers so they can see them when they come into Padre Lakes and other housing in our ward boundaries. Many home addresses have been painted on the curbs. Thank you, thank you!!!!

Brandon Hatch, son of Anita and Quinn Hatch has developed cancer once more. Many youth and members of the ward wanted to help the Hatch family. Bishop Hatch was given a assignment to take care of his family. Brother Homer and Brother Randall, bishopric members along with the stake presidency took over his responsibilities. He lost his home, his job and everything seemed to snow ball. He is a wonderful bishop and will always be remembered for his love, kindness and his strong never wavering testimony of the gospel. He was released May 31, on John's birthday and we sustained Bishop Mehr. Bishop Mehr chose Brother Homer as first counselor and Todd Benson as the second counselor. Brother Randall was sustained as a member of the high council.

There was a secret yard sale planned by many ward members at Lin's Market on Saturday June 6.$3,000.00 was raised. What a loving helpful community we have in Ivins, Santa Clara and St. George. There may have been others and we want to thank them also. We wish them well. They now have a home, insurance, job and Brandon seems to be doing better.

We are ll grateful for that news.
