"I promise you that if you will keep your journals and records, they will indeed be a source of great inspiration to your families, to your children, your grandchildren, and others, on through the generations. Each of us is important to those who are near and dear to us-and as our posterity read of our life's experiences, they too, will come to know and love us. And in that glorious day when our families are together in the eternities, we will already be acquainted. What could you do better for your children and your children's children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved? Some of what you write may be humdrum dates and places, but there will also be rich passages that will be quoted by your posterity. We hope you will begin as of this date." ~Spencer W. Kimball


"In family relationships, love is really spelled t-i-m-e." _Dieter F. Uchtdorf

A persons own family is without a doubt, the greatest wealth that we will ever possess. Treasure every moment and take the time to ensure that the story you create is one that you will be proud of and look back on with a huge smile.

Baskerville





We went to see Richie in Baskerville.
 Before the play we went to the Waffle Iron right across from the Lyric. Everything was so yummy!



 Sophia got her grandfather's seat.

Aubrey had her senior pictures taken. Mom! I don't want to be a senior!


She left with a big smile on that beautiful face to get her senior pictures taken. When she returned, I wanted to take some pictures with my camera. Her eyes tell no lies. She looked at me, I looked at her. Such young innocence! Tears started to fill up in her eyes as she said, "Mom, I don't want to be a senior! They let me view the pictures they took and I thought...
 I've seen Richie's, Giselle's, Brianna's, and Anson's senior pictures. And they looked just like mine!"


...and doesn't she have the most gorgeous eyes!?!

Father's Day 2016


These kids sure made their Dad's day coming all the way from Logan just to turn around and drive back a few hours later. Thanks for your visit even though it was super short. I wish we always had all of you for our Sunday dinners. One of these days we'll all live in Logan and ALWAYS have Sunday dinner together. I love you all toooooo much!

They don't have an official report from the radiologist yet but it appears like the largest tumor they've been following is still shrinking! The Oncologist and the Physician Assistant's exact words as they studied the scan were... "We're having a hard time finding the tumor they're following."
Cycle 7...
