We got a little bit of snow!

Spanish Fork

Moving

Hi all,

I don't know if you have heard but I am move to Taylorsville this week. I will be renting a house with some friends. I get the basement, which has three bedrooms, family room,a bathroom and kitchen. I will miss my commute to work and going home for lunch. Plus I am not looking forward to driving further when the snow comes back. Other than that it should be a good move for me.

Other than moving life has been pretty busy. Erika moved out the first of the month. Work has been extra crazy this month. I had two big events at my store, were we had over 100 people in one and about 25 in the other. I also had to teach part of the second one. Now we are getting ready for state fair next month. so things aren't going to settle down for a while.

So thats what is going on in my life right now. I just thought I'd let you know. Hope everyone is doing well. Love you all!

Pinto continued

I left one of the participants of the workday off. Jon Moss came up and was a big help. We want all of you to know that Jon and Jody are committed to give up smoking. We ask each of you to pray for them. Share this with your children as some of them have been concerned about it.
Mom reminded me of a funny. Trent and Bonnie had grilled cheese sandwiches. They asked Rigby if he wanted a grilled cheese sandwich. He said no. They asked him why and he said he didn't want a girl one, he wanted a boy cheese sandwich.
ARE YOU READY? FOR WHAT? FOR THE FAMILY VACATION OF COURSE.
Jana is working on a fun itinerary. We will have a blast as usual. You may want to challenge Lainee to an UNO game. She beat us all at Pinto.
Love, Dad

Pinto

We had a good workday at Pinto. Friday we had Bob, Alan, Matt, Clayton, Me, Mike, and Kevin along with the women who gave a lot of moral support. The roof has been leaking and they undid each joint and put a sealing tape in it as well as put a finish piece on the sides of the porches. This was a big job. I was glad there were younger souls equal to the task. I didn't get on the roof. Mike and I went to cedar and bought new blinds for the main room. I installed them. They look good. Jeanene washed the windows and that made them look even better.
We installed the cooler. It works good. We don't know what it will do on a hot day. It was very warm but not one of our hot days. Mom and Bonnie got too cold with it on so that says a lot.
Bonnie and Trent came up Friday evening and helped on Saturday digging and spraying weeds and digging holes for trees. The holes in front would not drain water so I don't think we will plant there, but I am going to buy 2 trees for the back and they will be planted within the week (I hope). Bonnie finished the blinds by undoing them and removing the extra slats. That made them look a lot better.
We had a lot of fun and got a lot done. We even played a couple of games.
I will remind you of the cabin dues (which are due).
The children of Clarence and Olive--$100 annually
The married grandchildren --$25
The unmarried grandchildren--$10
There was also a one time charge of $25 to buy tables. The tables are bought and they are very nice. If you haven't paid these assessments, it would be appreciated if you did. The cabin belongs to the family and even if you don't use it, you have a vested interest in it.
Love, Dad

End of June

I couldn't let a whole month go by without a single post. The summer is going by so quickly! Do I say that every year? Does it go faster every year? I remember when I was in elementary school, and when school was f-i-n-a-l-l-y out, the summer would last f-o-r-e-v-e-r.

I've been working on our family vay-cay (I'm using a lot of dashes in this post!) and we are going to have a lot of f-u-n!!! Yay!
