Cherishing the Memories

We decided it was time to get out some of the old Cassette tapes and record them onto CDs so that they wouldn't be lost forever. It has turned out to be a really fun thing to do. We have listened to tapes from when the kids were just little and it has brought back a lot of fond memories. I remember people saying that the kids would grow up really fast and I remember thinking how nice it would be when they were older, but now I miss those times when they were just small and we did fun things together. My advice to others is to just enjoy all the time you have with your kids at whatever age they are. Last night we stayed up a little later than usual just visiting and joking around with Jayd, Joel and Jarell. They are such wonderful young boys and we love the times we have with them. They are so funny too!

Scouting District Award of Merit

The recipient for the District Award of Merit was born in Washington State on a cold winter’s day in January, much like today.She was a sickly child and the family showered her with attention as they did not expect her to live long. To this day she avoids attention and does not like to be in front of people. She says it makes her feel sick. If you want to figure out who this person is simply look around the room for the lovely lady who feels the most ill right now.When she turned eight her family built a house and moved to Blanding. After graduating from San Juan High she attended Snow College where she met her husband who happened to be an Eagle Scout.She is the mother of 2 and a half dozen children! That is to say 2 girls and a half dozen boys.As her boys approached Cub Scout age the scout callings came and kept coming. She has served as Pack 906’s Cub Committee Chairman, Primary counselor over cubs, Cub Master, Cub Committee member, Den Leader, Assistant Den Leader and Webelos Leader. She has also served as a committee member for Pack 1629 at White Mesa. Many of these positions she held 2 or 3 times. On the district level she has served as roundtable commissioner 3 times and earned her feather after attending Akela’s Council.Her 23 years in cubbing is not the extent of her service. She has supported her husband through good times and bad with his scouting positions of over 26 years.We are pleased to present the District Award of Merit to …...

Girls, Girls, Girls

For those of you that thought this was going to be a racy post, think again. I just wanted to say that although we spend a lot of time in our home with boys and boys programs like Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, we really do like girls too. I am so grateful for my daughters, Becky and Tama.

Since I am the only "girl" at home now, it is sure nice when other girls come to visit. I was looking through some old and some new photos and thought I would share some of the girl pictures.

I love having my little granddaughters climb up on my lap for some cuddle time. Aisy and Larrissa are so much fun. I wish our other grandaughters Ellayna, Tia and KayBree lived closer so we could spend more time together.




This is 4 generations of girls-Grandma Kay with me (Heather) and my daughters Tama and Rebecca with our first granddaughter Ellayna.

This post wouldn't be complete without mentioning my three lovely daughter-in-laws. It is so wonderful to welcome new girls into the family and they are the best!!! Maybe they weren't born to me, but they are all a part of my heart. I love you Ashlee, Jeanette and Colleen!
