This week in life

Well here we are back in good old American fork. This last couple of weeks have been real busy. First the trip home as always just a long drive then on the first week end in may the family and I went to cedar city to move Nicole home and watch her graduate with honors from S.U.U. should I say how proud Janet and I of her. On Saturday we got home about 10 pm then we all went to bed. Up on Sunday quick showers then back in the vehicles and off to Upalco to see Kellie and Roger Tippets twins blessed. Both Johnathon Leroy and Beth Ann were sure cutie. Roger did a great job with the blessings. It sure is a great time when family can get together. It was awesome that my dad is now able to stand in on the blessings and other ordnance's as family members receive them. We are so proud of all of dads accomplishments. After the blessings we then went to Tippets new house for a luncheon it was fun to be able to visit with everyone there. Then after the luncheon we came home just in time for family night with the Walker side. It is always fun to have the monthly family night with them. We just wish more could make it. After family night about 9 pm I then headed out to Salt lake to work for the night. When I finally got home Monday I just crashed. Then Monday, Tuesday And Wednesday I also worked the night shift. Boy as I get older the night work sure seems to get to me. I remember that not so long ago it seemed like I could just go go go with not much sleep but I just can not do it as well but I guess that is what happens when you start getting older. I still think of myself as young. On Thursday I went back to the dentist and got my tooth finally taken care of. Yes a dreaded root canal. It is feeling much better now. The grand kids are doing great and it is always great to be with them. I should say I am glad I didn't disown or do away with the kids when they were teenagers. I guess they will get theirs as the grand kids get older. As grandparents all we have to do is love and spoil them. Just like our parents did to our own kids. I do love all my kids and grand kids and want them to know how proud I am of them. To all my friends out there I love and pray for you and wish you all well. We are so proud of our missionary he is doing so good and the lord is blessing us and him as he serves. God bless you all.

in denver april 20

Well here I am still in denver but this week has gone by pretty good, the crew we have are doing real good together. We are actually having a good time and enjoying each others company. No problems that we can't or haven't been able to work out. I am missing home though and can't hardly wait to get there. We have only 3 nights left. We should be home on wed night. Saturday I got an infection in one of my teeth and of course nothing I can really do as now it is sunday. But oh well I will get through it. Next saturday Desiree will be getting baptized and I will be home for it. I am real proud of her. As I have been out here I have missed her and Kirks B-days but what can you do when work is out of town? I will at least get to see them on sat. Thursday is Shannas B-day but I will be home for it. Even though I am out of town life just keeps on going. There is so much that needs to be done and when I am out of town I get fustrated because it is not getting done. I am not the only one that feels this way though. Every one has things to do. I hope during the time I am home I can get some of the things done, but who knows what time and weather will do. I do miss Janet and everyone please take care and we will see you soon.
