A successful marriage requires
falling in love many times,
always with the same person.

To my Grandkids
A GRANDMOTHER'S PRAYER
Oh Lord, I do not ask for much,
Eternal beauty or youth or such:
Just give me a little hand to hold
And I'll forget that I'm growing old.
I do not ask for cloudless skies,
A life that's free from tears and sighs,
Just give me a little face to kiss
And anxious moments will turn to bliss.
For what is there, really, that means so much
As little hands that reach and touch,
As little eyes that search and see
Only the best in fragile me?
So let me grow more loving and wise
By looking at life through their wide eyes.
For through these little ones, Thou hast given
This grateful grandmother a glimpse of Heaven.

So many temples in the Rockies!
November of 2008 ReNee and I started going to the Bountiful temple every Wednesday morning. It has been an enriching experience. We continued attending weekly through early April 2009. We added a CES class in September where we were studying the Book of Mormon the first quarter of the year and then a class on the Doctrine and Covenants taught by a wonderful teacher by the name of Jack Hegelsen. I feel I have gleaned so much from this teacher. I am extremely priviledged to be able to attend the temple weekly as well as the CES class. I continue to go to the class and the temple alone while ReNee is home waiting for her twin girls to arrive. It is a bit lonely at times but nonetheless very fulfilling. I have gone to the new Draper temple with Cheryl and we are hopeful of getting together more often. My goal will be to continue my temple attendance weekly as well as continuing to take family names whenever possible. What a priviledge it is to live so close to so many beautiful temples.
Livy and her grandparents
Life is so full of events weekly that keeping up with them is mind boggling. We had a fun experience a little over a week ago of going to grandparents day with Olivia, who is our youngest sons oldest daughter. She turned seven years old in March. She sang several songs with the first grade about grandparents and then took us back to her classroom where she gave us several pages of her artwork with a wonderful letter that told us how much she loved us. She told us that she wished we didn't have to drive so far and asked when she could sleep-over. Such sweet experiences don't come everday. It was really special.
