Blake Soccer

By
Living thousands of miles from my grandson, it is a grand honor to participate in some of his activities.  So when the opportunity arose to attend one of his soccer games, we were delighted to accept the invitation.  Although his team did not win, the game was not about winning but was about rewarding every member with the same rewards: a large conspicuous badge and a sumptuous frozen treat and a photo op of the team and coach.  Although he did not score and at times seemed not to know what was going on, we enjoyed watching him grace the soccer field with his running around the whole field.  He seemed to be saying to us to watch him, which we did with pleasure.  I am proud of my grandson for trying.  One day, I believe, he will be a great soccer player.  But for now, he is still my favorite soccer player in America.  And that's what counts.  Go, Blake!

She is serving in the Relief Society, the women's organization in our church. Be...

Christmas in Utah

By
This Christmas we decided to fly Breeze Airlines from Dulles Airport to Provo, UT.  And it was a breeze.  We were able to see Grace performance her dance.  Afterwards, she and her siblings had a photo op with Santa. We also were able to attend Sofia's Christmas concert at school.  Can you see Sofia? Our long-awaited family group photo at the Utah State Capitol turned out beautifully despite the cold.  Thanks, Veronica, for taking the photos. We are grateful for the time we had to spend time with our family during Christmas and New Years Eve.
