6 November 2009

Well it has been a good couple of months. Kade has now returned from his mission. He arrived in good health. For information on Kade's mission go to http://elderbrickey.blogspot.com/
Our scouts had a camp out where we went to Timpanookee and was able to shoot some awesome firearms. We all got to shoot a 50cal sniper rifle along with a 308 sniper. It was fun shooting a large cal rifle. We shot about 500 rounds total between all the campers and all firearms. You can see by the pictures there was a lot of fire power. The camp area was just great and we enjoyed being at the base of Timp. Work has been a little slow but at least enough to keep from being laid off. The days are getting shorter and there is still so much still to do. I hope I can get most of the things done that needs to be done before winter sets in. A few Saturdays ago I went to my dads and jack hammered out his front porch. We poured a new porch just before the deer hunt and it looks real good. We now need to find or make some railing for it. I went deer hunting with Matt, Ty and Sammy. Matt got a 2x3 opening morning but it was the only buck we saw opening weekend. During the week Matt and Ty went up Payson canyon and Ty got a two point. The last weekend of the hunt we all went up Payson canyon but as the weather had changed we were not able to find any more bucks. The best thing about the hunt is the time we are able to spend with each other. Kade got back on the 27th and we were able to take the whole day off and spend it with him. He is now looking for a job. If you know of any jobs please let us know. His home coming will be on November 15 at noon. Our church is located at 455 east 300 north American Fork. Any who are interested are welcome to come. On September 26 My dad finally made it to the Temple. We had a great day. The grandkid's are all doing well. Nicole and Ben are now expecting a child in April. This will make our 8th.

Summer is all but over

Well here we are at the end of summer or real close. Where oh where did the summer go. The newlyweds are doing great and it is so great to know that they have each other forever. Work is fine keeping busy enough to keep out of trouble. My dad is doing well and still lives alone. Bonnie Sorensen is doing alright even though she has had a few challenges. We don't see or talk to her as much as we should. I hope to correct that. Her and Ted have been such a delight in our lives. My kids all love them just like any of the other grandparents. I know they all have a concern for Bonnie.


Scouts have been great even though it has not been as busy as I would like. Not enough camp outs but we have been trying. We have had some awesome weekly activities on our week night meetings. I hope we can get more youth excited and that they will come join our group. We just had an article written about us in the Provo Daily Herald. We hope that more people in the county will see us and come join in for an exciting scout experiance. http://www.heraldextra.com/news/local/north/american-fork/article_5fc23a28-27c2-53ea-a3aa-19e8b0acd357.html This link will take you to the article.

The family is doing well as Scott and Kayce are back in school and just trying to keep a head of home work, jobs and enjoying life. Steve and Chastina are doing the things they need to for raising 4 wonderful children. I know that is a big job. All are healthy. Ryan and Shanna are still with us and I know that they would like to have a place of their own. All are doing well and raising kane for Grandma and this old Grandpa. We have enjoyed having them here and will miss them when they finally find a place and a job. Ryan's job search is really being a pain as so many are out there with out jobs.

We just celebrated my 51 st b-day and it was so good to have the support of all family and friends. Thanks for being my Family and friends. Janet and I just passed our 32nd year of marriage and she is still the beautiful woman I married. How could I be so lucky?????? We got some great news on September 2 our anniversary, Kade will be coming home on October 27. He has faithfully served our Father in Heaven for two years and has done wonderful things in California. His homecoming talk will be on November 15 at Noon. Our church is at 445 East 300 North in American Fork. Anyone who would like to come and listen to him are welcome. Thanks for all your support for the last two years. Yes I am excited for him!!!!! Oh yea what a great anniversary present. I did get to go to dinner with my sweetheart on Saturday and I had a great time being with her. Janet I do love and appreciate all you do... Today I was able to take Both Dez and Stevie fishing, yes as you can see we were finally able to hook into some fish. It was a first for both of them. I sure enjoyed the time I was able to spend with them.


Such a great family I am a part of, I want you all to know I love each of you.
