Update on Leon


Hi Everyone,


Dad is in the hospital again. They think that he has a bowel blockage, however, they don't know for certain. He is at the Huntsman hospital.


Please keep him in your prayers. We would really appreciate it. We are hopeful that he will be out very soon. I will keep everyone updated as we know more.


Thanks for all the love and concern.


Kellie
P.S. The photo was taken this past summer.

Megan's had a Birthday!








Our cute little Megan has somehow grown up to be a beautiful 26 year old wife and mother of two! Her birthday is actually today, but we celebrated as a family on Monday night with chocolate cheesecake, cherry pie, presents and a short but rousing game of bowling. Happy Birthday, Megan! We love you lots!

Fun visit with Dad

Arlo & Joyce came down to Arizona the first week of February for a get-a-way from the cold and snow. They enjoyed some time in the sunshine. We had a great visit. For part of the time that they were here, Logan was here too. He is very entertaining. Dad gets to see Wendy's grandkids quite a bit so I think he enjoyed getting to know Logan a little bit better.
We visited the Basha's museum of western
and cowboy art. It's quite the collection and
it's free!
Joyce celebrated a birthday while they were here.
We went and did a session at the Mesa temple and
went to dinner at the Landmark which is an historic
restaurant here in Mesa.
Luckily, they had handicap accommodations
for dad! What a goof!

We drove out to Fountain hills to see the huge fountain
that goes off every hour. What a cute picture of these 3 kids!

Lindsay & Grandpa Arlo

Dad and Joyce drove out to the swap meet one
day and they were gone forever! I thought maybe
they had gotten lost but Dad just couldn't get
Joyce away from all of the great deals!

They bought Logan this cute shirt:

We had a great visit with Dad and Joyce.
It was a lot of fun and can't wait to have
them again!

Thanks for the lovely memory and pictures of your Mom. What a valient lady. I miss her tons!

I would love to have a copy of the collage that Linda made.

We had so much fun on our Alaska cruise in June of 2006. I know she didn't feel real great, but she was a Real trooper. The long Train ride out of Skagway and up the Yukon pass was beautiful and breathtaking but exhausting for her, I am sure.

Who would have thought that we would be going through the same thing just a few months later with Uncle Leon.

Here's a Poem that I ran across recently that I love.

A Golden Chain
Anonymous
Friendship is a Golden Chain,
The links are friends so dear,
And like a rare and precious jewel
It's treasured more each year...

It's clasped together firmly
With a love that's deep and true,
And it's rich with happy memories
and fond recollections, too...

Time can't destroy its beauty
For, as long as memory lives,
Years can't erase the pleasure
That the joy of friendship gives...

For friendship is a priceless gift
That can't be bought or sold,
But to have an understanding friend
Is worth far more than gold...

And the Golden Chain of Friendship
Is a strong and blessed tie
Binding kindred hearts together
As the years go passing by.

Love, Aunt Barb
