About Us!

Some of you have been anxiously waiting for an update ...

I've been putting it off until ..., well, until later ...

It's later!

:)

School has started!  

I know! That's old news.  It started a week ago and I'm just getting around to posting about it.

Anthony is in high school this year and started seminary as well. Wow huh!?!?!?!  His choice of sports for this season is cross country.  FYI -  this mom has banned football.  Yip, I did!

BrittanyJo got her driver's license! Watch out Royal - she's on the roads - in a little greenish (chartreuse maybe?) Ford Focus.   Anthony will be her main side kick for a few months.

Connor is helping his dad and plans on going to college in January. He will also be working for 21st Century after school hours.  They finished the RC sign! (Well, except for a few more dates he found that need to be put up.)  

I'll spare you the details of all of the set backs from start to finish, but will say that we are glad that project is finally done.

THANK YOU  Eldorado Stone - they donated the stone and even paid their guys overtime for the labor to help lay the stone.  We are grateful! 

Another Special thanks to Callahan Manufacturing, the Booster's Club, and to Shane Christensen!

Connor also thanks his dad and brothers that donated time and labor and materials for this project.

Chase has a new companion but is still in the same area.  He rides a bike part of the time, and seems to be doing great!  He is grateful for the love and kindness that the members and investigators have for the missionaries.  

Terry is still the topic of discussion for the doctors so we have no medical news.  We are waiting to hear from the doctor, but aren't holding our breathe of course.  Last we heard they were trying to determine if he should take Revlimid (the daily pill) for the rest of his life or schedule a second and final stem cell transplant (as mentioned in this post).  Though he is doing fine, he does still get tired easily and has some aches and pains that he endures throughout each day.    They just finished baling (again) and are preparing for silage harvest. 

Okay, I'd better say that I, Elaine, am doing fine - just doing the odds and ends that need done which includes caring for family, keeping house, canning peaches, tomatoes and nectarines - mmmm good! ..., etc.

As for our married families - we love each and every one!

Check out their blogs - you'll find them in the column at the right.

But, I'll add this - we celebrated Akleigh's first birthday!  It's so fun to have grandchildren close by - wish they all could be! 

(Do you recognize this puppy Ethan?  You have a green one just like it.)
