Because I have not posted a blog in a while, I am going to make several posts each one with a different set of children and grandchildren. First one is Chris and Lisa:

April 2016
Chris and Lisa spent several days with us. We went to the zoo, we went on walks,
listened to Matthew play the Cello and Alyssa play the violin. It was very enjoyable to be with them.
I also went to Matthew’s concert at Libby Gardner
Hall. His orchestra won region and came
up to the UofU to perform. I enjoyed
their performance very much.

Chris and Lisa came up for a couple of days and we had a
great time with them. Emma came up with
a beauty: I have said on multiple occasions that I get paid (retirement check)
for “sucking air”. She asked me whether
I actually get paid for breathing. We
were quite proud of her because she fasted on Fast Sunday that her aunt would
feel better. We went to the Great Salt
Lake bird refuge and saw Blue Herons and other birds as well as a garter snake.

Chris and Lisa came up Thursday night for the baby
blessing. Chris got a telescope for his
birthday and we looked at Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. The next day we went to the zoo and got back
in time to welcome Mike and Andrea and the kids. We had a lovely London Broil dinner. Afterwards we played “Werewolf” which
everyone enjoyed. Saturday Mike, Chris
and I and our neighbor Larry played tennis in the morning. We all had a lot of fun. Afterwards, Chris, Lisa, Mike, Andrea went to
the Temple to do sealings while Matthew and I did baptisms for the dead. I was proud of Matthew—he enjoyed doing the
baptisms and afterwards we signed him up at familysearch.org. Later that day we went swimming at the bubble
and then had pizza in Brian and Mindi’s backyard. Sunday we had the baby blessing. Emma gave heartfelt, sincere prayers. Emma and
Alyssa were very kind in playing with their young cousins, Nicole and Tara.
We spent this week watching Chris and Lisa’s children while
they went to Woodbadge Scout training.
We enjoyed being with the kids very much, though it was a bit
tiring. We went on a bike ride, we went
swimming at the Aquatics Center, we went snorkeling at the pond behind the
Acquatics Center and we went to Del Taco for a dinner. We enjoyed being with them for scriptures at
night. Connor and Emma asked about what
happens when we die and we had a good discussion about what happens when we
die.

25 August 2016
I went down to Cedar City to see Alyssa, Emma and Connor in the Children's production of "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat". It was a wonderful evening. The actors were full of energy. Our three actors were particularly excellent! Great job! We went out for Ice Cream afterwards at Dairy Queen.
