Happy Birthday Chester!!!!

I guess you now realize that you are the age your mother was when we all moved to Idaho approx. 30 years ago. You were only two and quite a handful! I know everyone tells you that you were the "unwanted" child but that is by no way true. I just was not quite ready to be pregnant again at that time but I soon learned that that was what Heavenly Father wanted me to do. In fact you and Truman are amost exactly two years apart, further than any of the others. And because Dad had moved to Sedalia and I was still in Waynesville trying to sale a home, and with the four other children I was induced about three weeks early. I had gone up to visit Dad and was staying in a trailer with these four little ones that would not leave the phones alone, we still had operators that would answer them when picked up back then. All I wanted to do was have a baby so finally Dr. Stockwood decided he could induce me. I know I was not in labor very long and when it was time for your delivery Dad was busy at the office and could not come over so I delivered alone, again. He came over soon after delivery and as I was nursing you for the first time I had been talking to Dad, not paying much attention to you, and when I looked down you had turned blue. Dad called for the nurse and a stethoscope. The nurse took you back to the nursery where they removed a mucous plug from your nose and you were fine after that. You had these long eyelases. dark hair and blue eyes, I thought a really pretty baby. We did go back to Waynesville for a few days but by June we had moved to Sedalia where Dad bought us a home so we could move all together. You were a good baby and always happy. Happy Birthday to you and may your children bring you as much happiness as my children bring me. Luv Mom and Dad

Inside the Jazz Locker Room

IN between the wedding luncheon (Brett's brothers') and the reception we killed some time by going over to the Jazz Practice facility. The kids had fun putting on the players shoes, considering most of them are atleast a size 12 to 17. Kyle Korver has an inscription of Prov 3:5-6 (he is pretty religious) so I got a pic of that and tan just loves AK 47 so he sat in his chair.

Memorial Day Weekend

So after finding out that a few of you are going to be out of town, and having some difficult with our own scheduling, I think that it might be better to reschedule the family get together for some other time. I don't like doing this, cause we haven't seen most of you for a few months now, but I think that it would be better. So let us know when would work and let's plan on that.

whoops

Sorry wrong week. I am going to the wedding on the 24th and I really hope to see you all on Memorial Day weekend not this one. (:

Redhead I have pics of your dear ones coming soon. (can't find my camera today) Sad to say we are down one cat. When we moved up her in January we brought our cat and within three weeks our cat, one of your cat's and Sierra all were gone. A sad month for pets. But the remaining are doing well. My kids give Suzie walks and play with her allot. She is so good she just runs around with them but never runs off. She thinks Truman is a little ify but is always ready for a belly rub from the rest of us. I would like to offer to care for Suzie for the rest of her days. It did not take long for Alyssa, Logan, well and me to fall completely in love. (Just a thought) Let me know when you are coming through.

For all of you coming this weekend let me know your plans. We were going to service the boat but after the snow fall on Monday we have reconsidered. We will have to do some other stuff. Like Bear World, Movies, and maybe if I can get it lined up some dirt biking. Truman and I have to go to Logan for a wedding on Saturday but the house is open for whoever.
