Christmas Message, Hyeji's choir concert, and Foster's 1st birthday

 Christmas Message    

I found this video on Youtube when I was looking for a devotional for my final institute class of the semester.  I felt the spirit so strongly as I watched the different scenes from the life of the Savior.  Watching each of the people that played a part in the greatest event to ever happen on this earth filled my heart with a special feeling for each one of them.  As you watch the video, think about what each of the people in this story means to you.  

O Come, Emmanuel

Roy took Hyeji to her choir concert.  I was finishing up my institute class, Dan was at a work party, and Jieun was home under the weather.  Grandpa enjoys watching his grandkids perform.


Hyeji is growing up to be such a beautiful young woman

Clip from Hyeji's choir concert.  I had to really look to find Hyeji in the group, but she is there!


Foster's first birthday


Jennie had a birthday party to celebrate Foster's first birthday.  Her cousin on Jordan's side is also turning one, so they had a double birthday party out on 13300 South.  Roy and Caitlyn went together.  I stayed home because I have been fighting the "roller coaster cold" for the past month or so.  It's a roller coaster cold because, as soon as I'm sure I'm better, I find myself at the bottom again.  (Lucky for Roy I was feeling well enough to give my lesson in Gospel Doctrine today, so he didn't have to do it.  I didn't feel well enough to sing with the choir, though).

At church on Sunday.  Roy and I gave Foster the Minnie Mouse outfit before she
was born.  It's a 6-9 month.  I think Jennie forgot about it. 
 It's a good thing she's really tiny for her age.

Busily Engaged

Image
The last of the grandchildren have returned to school.  Cam and Yuli get to go to pre-school together-and the Avinator (Avie) has started Kindergarten (I may be a week late on that one). We returned home from Flaming Gorge on Tuesday, and Roy woke up early Wednesday morning to catch a 6:00 flight to Chicago for a conference.  He got home about 1:00 am on Friday morning.  He was pretty exhausted, but he still wanted to drive to Logan to watch Crista's three girls play soccer.  Bridget and Greta played on the same team.  Bridget was definitely in it for the sociality.  Greta played a little, and day-dreamed a little, too.  Ruby made a goal right off the bat.  She is definitely more engaged at this point.  After the games we went to Angies (restaurant) for a treat. Bridget; Todd All the kids had pancakes and they all ate a lot, excepting Greta.  Ruby had her own plate of pancakes and finished up Greta's.   I had pancakes, too....

At the Gorge with the Jackson's and the Rasband's (Nick's family)

Image
  We spent a week at the Gorge with some of our family.  Roy had planned another ride for his club (he did one last year) for Friday and Saturday (July 11, 12).  Previous to the ride we had three perfect boating days.  On the third day Roy and I stayed at the cabin because I had an institute class to teach and Roy had chores.  After we finished up with that, we had a peaceful kayak ride in the bay. Speaking of my institute class: this semester I am teaching "Jesus Christ and His Everlasting Gospel" and my students are all from West Africa.  I have found that I have to listen very carefully to understand their comments.  When I can understand them I learn from them.  It's been a great experience so far.   Bevy and Effie eating chips on the boat.  It's an essential boating activity.   Camden and Sara Bevy, Effie, Mav Harvey  Max, Ori, Harvey, Effie, Bevy, Mav, Avie, and Cam  Mav spotted this garter snake which thrilled ...

Great Family Party!

Image
An announcement: Gunnar Green made the Woodscross Highschool golf team--as a freshman!  Congratulations, Gunnar.   We had a wonderful party at Phil and Charlotte's home.  It is always great to meet up with family members.  I took a few pictures and Christy Cunningham sent me 115 more.  If you're interested in seeing more of the pictures, let me know.  I'm including a few (a lot).  Next year we may have to try and host the family when Elise is here because she always misses out.   It was fun to see my siblings that were able to come.  Roy with Zack (husband, not sibling), Glen, Rosilene, Serah (Jed's daughter), Christine, Steve, Charlotte and Dave.  Phil was there but is not in this picture. Matt, Crista, Zack and Adrienne Ruby, Todd, Miles Gray and Caroline (I think). The kids had a blast on the trampoline. Phil has a launching block that makes it lots of fun. Hyeji, Doyeon, Cub (front); Miles Gray, Lyla Dayton, and Isla Costle...
