first entry

Well I am in Denver and getting ready to finish the last two nights of work on wendy's until April 12 when I come back to do two more weeks of wendy's. It has been a normal work load and all things have gone preety good. It will be nice to get back home for a while. I love being around my family which is hard to do from so far away. We had to have our dog Shadow put down as she got sick and would not get better. The Vet said it was the most humane thing we could do. Grizz sure was missing her so we went and got a new puppy from Levan. She is a mix of boarder collie, blue healer and australian shepherd the grandkids love her. She is about 9 weeks old and is already learning. I am looking forward to teaching her to do some tricks. I just love dogs. Having to make the decission to have Shadow put down was one of the most diffucult things I have ever done. I do miss her.
Kade is doing real well on his mission and he knows of our love for him and that God is watching over us all. He tells me to tell everyone he loves them and misses them . He is so glad that Grandpa Brickey is doing so well. He was real worried about him and just kept praying for him. He keeps us all in his prayers and I would like us all to keep him in ours.
This next weekend the scout- crew 1098 I work with is supposed to be going to sea base to scuba dive. This is the nodenomiation group and I sure enjoy this group of young men and young women. Yes I did say young women. If they are over 14 they can join and have asmuch fun as the boys. It is awesome to see them having fun. We have some great adults helping with this group. Thanks to all of them. My other group is the L.D.S. priest age boys and I just wish they could see past other interrupions and have some great outdoor activites. Most of the 1098 group is older youth that want to enjoy the outdoors. They have committed to the programs that they plan. If anyone knows of any youth that wants a great outdoor experiance please let them know about crew 1098 American Fork.
Some of my best memoiries are with my dad and brother camping and fishing. I love my dad and what he tried to teach me for him I am a better person.
There is nothing as great as the time you spend with your family it is the best memoiries. I love to be with friends and spend a much time as I can with them. I do love my wife and she has spent so much time and love in raising our children I can never tell her how much it means to me. She is wonderful. To my children you are so special to me you have all turned out so well how can I not be proud. Well enough for now .
