Taylor/Shumway Heritage Dinner

Okay, how did I get myself into this? I guess I said, "yes." Arlene Lee wrote a script regarding the "good ol' days" and Brad Click and I played Charley and Julia Shumway. We introduced the various acts during the show and tried to be funny. Got some laughs and were both very glad when it was over. The dinner is the big fund-raiser of the year for the Heritage Foundation. Our stake center cultural hall was full of people from Snowflake and Taylor, who made donations to support the local restoration and museum projects. A worthwhile cause. After the dinner Mark and I were invited to a Halloween party at Stan and Brandy Shumway's. Mark won the "grand prize" for best costume. We borrowed the blow-up outfit from Jake Tenney. Pretty funny! We laughed at him all night, especially as he maneuvered to play some charade type games. Hysterical! Had a little fan inside to keep it inflated.

Calla's Concert

The Snowflake Jr. High had a music concert at the high school auditorium in October. Calla sings in the Women's Choir and they had an absolutely wonderful performance. Lots of talented singers. They were well-rehearsed and nailed their songs. The choir director saved them for last, because she knew they were going to be the "best." Calla is a second soprano and is learning to harmonize. She really enjoys this group. (Click on the photo to see Calla in the middle, wearing a black headband)

Happy Birthday!

We were in the valley to celebrate Mark's birthday with the kids. Tim suggested (and treated us)to eat lunch at "Native New Yorker." It was so delicious! Then we all gathered at Grandma Reed's and had some pumpkin pie together. The little ones played with the toys in Grandma's hall closet. Mark received lots of books...it will keep him busy reading till Christmas. The pictures capture the day better than any words can. It was just a nice, quiet birthday...the kind Mark likes best.

Spinning Top

A quiet evening at Grandpa Klepinger's. He brings out a spinning top that lights up and we were all thoroughly entertained (mesmerized and hypnotized)for twenty minutes on the kitchen floor. Connor was especially curious!

Miss you, Mom

It's been two years today, since she left this "frail existence" and left her loved ones behind. We still feel a huge void, especially when we walk in the doors of 936 E. 8th Place. Wish I could give you a big long hug, or maybe let you give me one. I love and miss you very much.
