Here is mom again. Yesterday, Jan 29, 2010 we drove Raquel and Joe's new 2007 Toyota Corolla to Beaver and met them there so they could drive it home to St. George. We had dinner at the timberline Restaurant. It was a nice dinner and Dick and I enjoyed the visit with Joe and Raquel. It was good to see them and know that they are happy and doing well.
Love, Becky

Saturday, Jan 30, 2010. We went to Sarah and LaRon's for Branson's 8th Birthday Party. We had Pizza, pop and birthday cake and ice cream. Branson is a fine young man and very nice and smart. He received a lot of nice gifts from everyone and Wells and Colleen, his other grandparents are always there to support and help. Branson received a lego kit and stayed right with it until he had put it all together. He is such a good boy and we are very proud of him.. Also it was fun to see Baxter and Bently. They have a nice family and we are very proud of them.
Sarah was preparing for her presentation as she was just called to the the Young Women's Camp Director. She thought of the theme: Bees. She has prepared handouts for her leaders tomorrow centered around Bees. Her main idea is that Bees need to get along to survive by working together and minding the Queen Bee. I am very impressed with Sarah....she has a natural gift for creativity. She has a strong determination and a strong testimony of the Gospel. She works hard as a mother, wife and professional. I know her YW Camp will be a big success.
On our way home from Sarah's we stopped at the Wayne Theatre and saw the movie, "Avatar". It was a very interesting movie and I interrupted it as the government was trying to destroy the people by taking over their lives; however the people banded together and found the government and prevailed. That is how it is going to be the America today. WE are not going to allow the our feedoms to be destroyed by liberals who want to take away our freedoms and enslave us with high taxes and control. Let's keep our high ideals and strong free enterprising spirit and we will keep American a free place where we can build up Zion.

Hi Everyone... new day...still snowy here in Teasdale. We are always grateful for the snow because it means water for the summer.

Hi Everyone...Another beautiful day here in Teasdale. As I look out my window I can see ***SNOW*** coming down and can't even see Boulder Mountain, Thousand Lake Mountain, or the beautiful little town of Teasdale, which I enjoy viewing from my upstairs bedroom window every day. This is a wonderful site as we need the snow and have been praying for it for so long! We depend on the water for our very salvation here on the ranch as our farms and cattle on the ranges need it to survive.
Today a friend and mentor died, Sammy Newton. He was 93 years old and was the Principal of Wayne High School when I attend WHS. He taught me Biology and we worked together in Student Government when I was WHS's Activity Manager. Also he was the Principal when I taught at Wayne High School. I will always remember the daily messages he would put in our mail box. The one that I enjoyed the most was, "The Master Teacher." Each page was filled with ideas about what the Master Teacher would do. It wasn't until years later when I was going through some of these papers that I realized what the message really was: THE MASTER TEACHER IS OUR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST! Thank you, Mr. Newton, for giving me these messages which are so true. The Savior is Our Master Teacher and if only we would follow his teaching and examples, we would be so blessed and become more like him.

Well, another day has passed. Today is another Birthday in our family. Collette was born 32 years ago today...what a great day! She weighed in at 10 pounds, almost doing us both in but we were lucky and survived. Collette was a darling little baby and always had shiny eyes and a cute smile. She was a very easy child; very easy going and she liked to entertain herself. She had an imaginary friend, "the other Collette" and she liked to talk to her and include her in playtime and imaginary skits and scenarios. That probably contributed to Collette going on and becoming a High School State Champion in Speech. Her great memory makes her also a natural in Drama. Her dad really enjoyed seeing her in high school Musicals and plays. I remember one time when everything went wrong on stage but Collete just picked it up with her acting ability and saved the scene. We loved it!! Yes, Collette, I must say has many wonderful attributes and I admire her in many ways. She is probably the MOST DETERMINED person I have ever known. She has accomplished many things in her 32 years and all of them she has completed with dignity and honor. She is a great wife, mother, sister and daughter. She has excelled in her profession and amazes me with her counted cross-stitch Samplers she has created. She is also a great cook and enjoys cooking from scratch, probably because it is healthier and probably because it is 'cheaper'. Yes, Collette, thank you for being a examplary person in our family!! Happy 32nd Birthday!!!
Love ~ mom

Today is my first day of blogging. It is a major event because I am committed to keeping up...what a great way to keep a journal and history of our family. Today's major event is that Jan 25, 2010 is Dick's dad's (gramps) actual 90th Birthday. We celebrated with a family Party of Jan 16, 2010. All of the grandchidren lined up from oldest to youngest and it was a fun site and a great picture. We had a similiar picture about 28 years ago at Dark Valley when all the grandchildren lined up oldest to youngest. Yes, things have changed in that length of time but all of them are very close in age. It will be fun to compare photographs.
Funny Post for the day. Dick came home and quoted his dad (Guy aka Gramps) as saying, "Well, today at noon is my actual 90th Birthday and my dad (Jim Pace)always said that because I entered into this world right at noon, I was always hungry."
