Ward Breakfast

Well, Saturday morning has come and gone and our Ward activity

was successful. We did NOT have an Ulster fry for two hundred people but we did serve, pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage and bacon and hashbrowns.

We served 200 people in 20 minutes and people were happy to have a HOT breakfast. We had a lot of help to cook 20 pounds of bacon, 15 pounds of sausage, 22 dozen eggs and 18 packages of hash browns and 25 pounds of pancake flour. 12 gallons of milk and 12 gallons of orange juice. YM/YW provided a program, Primary delivered invitations, Priesthood did tables. RS did table decorating, Ward Mission arranged letters for Missionaries, Sunday School helped to cook.

I am glad it is over, we came home, opened a box of

Cavanaughs, and vegetated. :o)

Another Reason to Give Thanks

Avery Madeline, arrived today and she is beautiful. She is our first Great Grand Daughter. We have 4 Great Grand Sons, Adam, Zachary, and William. And then Mason. They are her cousins.

Peter Pan

Wednesday Night we were treated as "Senior Citzens" to free turkey dinner and performance of this play at Weber High School. What a great night. Our favorite "Indian" was of course our granddaughter Megan. :o) This scene was particularly impressive as a LOT of practise went into the timing.

This scene also took a lot of coordinating with singing and choreography. There were 30 Indians, 31 Lost "Boys", and 31 Pirates. A LOT of running up and down stairs in the auditorium which these youth took as if they were mountain goats. A lot of energy was expended and a grand time was our experience. What facilities the schools have to work with and what opportunities the youth receive in their educational years. We were really proud of Megan her performance was outstanding. She stayed in character and with having the red on her costume we were able to keep track of her. Granpa said he was able to keep track of her because she was the most beautiful Indian, nevermind Indian, THE most beautiful girl on stage.

Attitude of Gratitude

Tis the season of Thanksgiving and gratitude here is an ongoing list of my gratitudes.


1. Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.


2. My Alan. I figure if I put the Lord first everything else will fall into place, and it does.


3. My Family. From Lesley my first born to Mason the last born, and Jessica our newest family member and Avery whom we are anticipating. You are all included.


48. That number came up real fast.

A Moment in Life

I love to read cartoons. Some I don't bother with but "Pickles" is one of my favorites. It is like watching our lives in print. (scary)

I usually check on "Drabble", I think you will agree this is appropiate.

Third and Fourth Generations

Some of the ones who were in on the beginning. Is that Lilian, the littlest in the front?A few that will always be the littlest, can't have Trick or Treat without them :o)

The First Generation that are responsible for the Second, Third and Fourth Generations.

Some who should know better but are always glad of an excuse to dress up.The little pirate in the back, the beginning of the fourth generation.


Lots of room for more...........
