Cassandra Is Blessed

Cassandra Is Blessed

Last Sunday the family gathered to the Lakeview Ward for the blessing of Cassandra Willoughby. For my readers unfamiliar with the naming and blessing of children I will explain. Under the direction of the presiding authority (in our case today it was Bishop Macrum), brethren who hold the Melchizedek Priesthood may participate in the ordinance of naming and blessing children (see Doctrine & Covenants … [Read more...]

Wasatch Mountain State Park

Wasatch Mountain State Park

I wanted to take my grandchildren camping so I made reservations for two campsites. I then invited the parents to go and before the day was out they were ready for the trip. So last weekend we went to Wasatch Mountain State Park. We camped overnight at Little Deer Creek Campground. Here are a few of the photographs and videos taken by Steven, Jill, and Rick.

A Sister For Aurora

Adelaide and Steven and babyl

At 3:49 am Jill received this text message from Steven: Six pounds eleven ounces. Nineteen inches. Born at three twenty eight. We're all doing well. We went to see the new baby for a few minutes. Adelaide said that they went to the hospital at 12:30 and because three other women arrived at the same time, she wasn't in her room until 1:30 am. Two hours later a little sister for Aurora was born. Congratulations … [Read more...]

If you are a friend of Steven and wonder why he has not been online much in the last two days here is the explanation. Steven and Adelaide have purchased a foreclosed home in Layton. Jill and I helped them move in today a few hours after closing. Two of Steven's brothers and two of his cousins were also heavily involved in the move. To unload the refrigerator two of Steven's friends kindly assisted. Steven … [Read more...]

Adelaide Gives Birth to a Baby Girl

New Arrival

Adelaide, Steven, and Baby 4110 Today at exactly 11am Adelaide gave birth to a 7lb 11oz, 21 inch baby girl. The new arrival hasn't got a name yet so she is known as Baby 4110 for now, named after the number of the hospital room where Adelaide is recovering. Adelaide delivered very near her due date of Valentines Day. The lovely Marci was by far the closest in predicting the arrival day and hour with … [Read more...]
