A Dusting of the Cobwebs: Growing Family...

A Dusting of the Cobwebs....

welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...

In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.

I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.

We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.

A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."

So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

Growing Family...

Our family is growing again this year, faster than I can keep up with.

Ivie, Launie's daughter, is getting married 25th of April.

David, is getting married for the third time, 3rd of April, in the American Fork Temple.

Mike and Jennifer are expecting number five some time in Sept. or Oct.

Lynn and I will be married Fifty years in June.

I wish Lynn and I were younger so we could enjoy our family more...It seems younger
folks like to be more with others closer to their own age. Right now Lynn and I are over
forty years older. Not as active, and facing more physical problems at this age, that the
younger ones don't know and have not experienced yet.

I understand,... I have done that to....but I still miss them, they are my children...

Up Date: Amber, Launie's daughter, who just came home from her Mission is getting
Married June 20, 2015.....
