Spencer, Preston and Lauryn, December 2011
We watched Spencer, Preston and Lauryn while Nate and Beth went to Phoenix. It was a lot of fun though I have pneumonia and so was only there for part of the time. Spencer made it clear to us that when his mom and dad are gone, he is in charge. They were delightful, easy-to-tend children. Here’s some pictures of them:

Thanksgiving 2011
Hi All,
We had a fun Thanksgiving. Chris and Lisa and kids came over on Tuesday night. We took them to the Zoo on Wednesday, I played the usual Castle Risk and we made Thanksgiving decorations. We had twenty people for Thanksgiving dinner—Chris and Lisa and kids, Nate and Beth and kids, Brian and Mindi and kids, Burt and Betty, Kaelynn and us. We had lots of food including chocolate pie, blueberry pie and the traditional pumpkin pie. We played with the kids outside as well as an UNO game inside. Here are some pictures:

Halloween 2011
Hello All,
We had a fun Halloween party at the house. We had lunch and played games such as bobbing for apples, shooting the witch, and coloring Halloween pictures. We also had a lot of fun wrestling with each other. Here are some pictures of the event:
Everyone had a good time at the Halloween party. Right afterwards, Sandy and I drove down to Cedar City to see Chris and Lisa. Here are some Halloween pictures from Cedar City:

Random September and October Events, 2011
We took Jaimee, Brandon, Spencer, and Preston to the zoo. Jaimee told us she had to sit in the back because she wanted her “privacy”. Brandon said his dad is very “annoying”—he tells funny jokes all the time. Spencer’s reading ability was absolutely amazing. He read all the signs. He read one sign that said something like “Show the animals respect and dignity by being quiet and respectful”. Jaimee said to me and Preston, “You fools, you missed the birds”. At another event this month Jaimee told me that I will die before her but she will miss me.
Marilyn Pettingill, one of our old friends in North Salt Lake, died this week. It was very unexpected. She was our age. We went to see Ric, her husband. I was reminded of the great humility in our ward in North Salt Lake. There isn’t the kind of vanity in that area that there is amongst some in Centerville. We saw some old friends at the funeral—Chambers, Woods, Adams, Arla Westinskow, Chatmans, etc.
Robin and Richard visited this weekend. We went on a bike ride with them, went on a drive with them, went to the Temple, and went on a hike with them up Centerville Canyon to see petrogliphs. Here are some pictures of the trip:

Spencer Birthday, He-Man and Artists, Sept 2011
Hi All,
Spencer had his seventh birthday this week. We watched Lauren and Preston while Nate and Beth took Spencer to a movie. Afterwards they took him to Red Robin to buy his favorite—Macaroni and Cheese. Spencer tells us that Red Robin makes the best macaroni and cheese in the world. That evening Spencer had a Sea Monster Birthday party. Here are some party pictures.
This Saturday we watched Spencer and Preston while Beth went to a shower. Spencer said his Mother told him he could play with me for 20 hours. We went walking all over the yard and the park “looking for wild animals”. Later, Jaimee and Brandon came over. Jaimee spent the whole time with Sandy painting. Brandon spent the whole time running around playing He-Man. Brandon came out with a few beauties.
“I am He-Man, you (Grandpa) are Skeletor. I have 39 muscles and you have 29 muscles. I have more muscles than you”
“If Skeletor wins the people will loose faith”
Do not loose faith everyone. He-Man will protect you with his many muscles!
