Mostly about Utah
Derek and Sarah have been back from Texas since June and staying with family. Yesterday it was time for them to move back into their own home. We loaded the truck and trailer with their belongings that were stored with Steven and Adelaide. The photograph of Paul reminds me of a television show I used to watch a few years ago. … [Read more...]
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...]
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. Click on the images to enlarge. If you … [Read more...]
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...]

Jill came up with a one pound bag of Stauffer's … [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...]
In November Steven celebrated his birthday with a meal at the Layton Lone Star Steakhouse. Well big deal y'all may be thinking. But for us it was a chance to get together, take some photographs, and eat some great food. Steven loves steak so he came to the right place. For family and friends who weren't there, here are a few photographs. Jill and I were taking the photographs so we were out of the … [Read more...]
On Monday we celebrated Steven's birthday at our Family Home Evening. Jill, Paul, Jake, Steven, Adelaide, Sarah, Derek, Bryson, and myself were there. After the Family Home Evening we blew up balloons, tossed them in the air, and then burst them. It sounds a little pointless but it was a lot of fun. We gave Steven his presents and then ate cake and ice-cream. … [Read more...]
