It’s 2009 and we’re doing just fine. It seems like the years go by faster and faster.
Our family is in three states now, instead of four. Peter and Vickey moved their family back to Utah last fall. That puts them in the same state as Brian and Melissa. Angie and Vinny are still in Vermont, [...]
This father’s day I’m writing to say thanks to the fathers in my life, especially my dad and Vickey’s dad. We’re blessed by their love and support.
I’m so fortunate to be Eliana and Dominic’s father.

We celebrated my mom and dad’s 50th wedding anniversary the first week of June. It was a lot of fun, and we enjoyed some R&R at the cabin in Bryant’s Fork. Everyone in the family was there, except my nephew Casey. We missed him!
Rachel and Kevin did the lion’s share of the work, and they [...]
Today we had a stake conference where we heard from our stake leaders and a couple LDS general authorities, including an apostle, Elder Ballard.
He spoke for a few minutes about grandfathers and said he believed their mission is to create memories in the lives of their grandkids.
My mind immediately went back to memories I have [...]
The last two weeks have been LONG weeks for me. The end of school is always challenging, but this year, for some reason, it has seemed extra tough. I was hanging on for deal life this week just trying to make it to Friday. I knew there was a three day weekend waiting for me, [...]
Peter beat me to the punch writing a blog about our garden, but I just wanted to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed this gardening gig we have going on here. Pete is always throwing jabs at me about not ever doing yard work. For the record, I think it might have had something to [...]
We’re enjoying the four seasons again. We’re also enjoying participating in the neighborhood garden. Our backyard neighbors have a large plot of land next to their tennis court where a dozen or so families plant and nurture a row or two of vegetables.
Vickey and the kids did the planting last Saturday and now, just a [...]
For Mother’s Day this year, we decided to put together a digital slideshow for Vickey.
We love you because . . .
You are selfless
You are patient
You are always willing to help us
You are beautiful
You are friendly
You are a true best friend
You are kind
You are generous
You live a faithful life
You are fun
You are supportive
You care enough to [...]
Not only did we have a fun weekend with Grma and Grpa, Vin and I also purchased a new vehicle, Saturn Outlook, SUV. Here are some pics…As Vin says, I am spoiled rotten. I say I earn it! Now all you have to do is come to VT so we can give you a ride! [...]
We were all so excited to see Grma Grapa this Friday. Vance could not wait until we could all go fishing.
Here are Grandma and Vance doing a little fishing at Colchester Pond. All we caught were a bunch a weeds, but we tried. Here is the entire crew…we did have fun just hanging around.

Angie,
I have been appointed as your gifter. I would appreciate some suggestions. You may respond via email or comments.
If there are no items of interest or affordability. Please tell me which stores you may elect to have gift cards so that you may have help purchasing those items.
I look forward to your response.
For wife and husband, Madeline and Pete,
Forty years together is quite a feat!
“What did four decades accomplish,” you might say,
“That brings us to such a milestone day?”
Sweethearts we became in 1968,
So in love were we—life was great.
Our hopes and dreams to start anew.
Ahead, there was nothing we couldn’t do.
We married not for time, but for [...]
I thought I would try and blog a few thoughts about May on the family site. I just posted to my other blog so sorry for any repeats. I wanted to try and see if I remember how to post to the site.
The weather outside is more than perfect. I love a nice cool 70 [...]

So I will make my debut blog post about Angie’s knee surgery.
Angie went into surgery about 10:00 this morning and was awake and talking by 11:15-ish. As a refresher, Angie has a defect on the surface of her knee joint a pothole so to speak from a soccer injury about 15 years ago. This [...]
