Kissing cousins

The two cousins at Dave's birthday luncheon at the new Pizza Place in Orem. They both ended up sitting on the edge of the table together and tipped the table so all the food and water spilled. Landry cried and Savanna just looked sheepish.

Papa and his boys

What a fun time Papa has with his grandchildren. On Spencer's birthday, while all the adults were sitting around chatting, Papa was outside trying to appease all three grandkids at the same time--but loving every minute.

"Vanna" and Grandpa build a snowman

It has been awhile since I posted anything on the blog and thought I would do a little catch up with some of the pictures we have taken (primarily of the grandkids in the last few months)

On one of Savanna's Tuesdays with Grandpa and Grandma, we had a nice snowstorm and Savanna wanted to build a snowman. She rolled the snowball into a big part of the body and directed the rest of the creation. Nothing more enjoyable than spending quality time with my "Princess"

Two Cousins and Apples (Apple Dumpling Gang)

Landry and Chance enjoying an apple at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was quite the fight to get them lined up against the wall and let me take their picture.

Mission President 90th birthday

On Friday evening Priscilla and I went to a 90th birthday celebration of my mission President, Lloyd Hicken. He had personally called me the during the week to make sure I was coming. I was really surprised and taken back that he would call me to make sure I was coming to his birthday celebration and missionary reunion. President Hicken served in Brazil as one of the first group of missionaries called to that country in the late 1930's. Others with him included James E. Faust & W.Grant Bangeter. I served as his assistant for 6 months and really gained a greater appreciation for what a great man he was and is. He currently serves as a sealer in the Bountiful Temple. The only downside of the reunion was to look around and see how old everyone looked and realize that I am one of them. I was asked a few times if I robbed the craddle in marrying Priscilla--she looked like she could have been the daughter of most of the women there.
