So, if you could send her an email with how many people from your family will be attending, that would be awesome!!!

Grandpa & Grandma:

Happy springtime to all our families wherever you are,
With the roses in full bloom, summer has arrived in St George. We will be returning to Draper on May 2. Now everyone knows where we are.
We have two new members in our family. Jessica Wilkinson arrived on the 23 of April. Brandt Ky Higbee arrived on 30 of April. We welcome these new members of our family . We are grateful for their safe arrival. and pray for the return to good health of their mothers and the babies. This is # 28 and 29 Great grandchildren.
As we watch the blogs, our families have much more interesting lives than Grandpa and I do. We are enjoying our life. We are both well.
With the arrival of Summer , comes the time for reunions. On Wed 17 of June, there will be a Hinckley reunion in the Barnes Park in Kaysville. This is located At the Kaysville exit West of the freeway This will be from 4 P M to 10 p M . There will be games to play and Ducks to watch and feed. We will have family members here from Georgia and Tennessee..
Even if you are there for a short time it will keep me from being a Grandma with out children. I am proud of our family and I need you to come. Meat and drink is being furnished. we would ask you to bring Salads or desserts or whatever. There is play equipment and things to do. Put this on your calendar and I will send a reminder. We hope to see all of you during the summer.
Grandma Wilkinson


Ron & Maud Mary Family:

Eric & Shannon Family:

Jessica Wilkinson was born April 23rd and weighed 8 lb. 1 oz. She has red hair like her brother Dallin -- which he is excited about. He says she is his favorite baby. The kids all enjoy her, and Liz has even been caught picking Jessica up a few times (yikes). Jessica will be blessed on May 24th for any who would like to attend. After church we will have a dinner at our house, and if you would like to come, please bring a salad/side dish or a dessert. Sacrament meeting is at one pm. Please contact us for directions and to rsvp! Thanks!

Dan & Verna Family:

I took a trip to SL on Saturday and visited my new grandson, Brandt. Can I just tell all of you out there I have the cutest grand kids? We are all looking forward to summer and school being out. I especially am looking forward to summer and being home with my girls and with Miguel. We are all doing great as of today. Plans for summer? Not many. Dan will keep going to school during the summer. Bummer! But the rest of us will just enjoy each other since there are not a lot of jobs offered in Emery County during the summer. Oh well, such is life.

Gary & Bev Family:

April has been a nice and cool month in Arizona. We have had a good spring but May is bring the hot weather. Riley and family came to visit us for a few days around conference time. It was great having them here with us. We got to swim and play.

Then Bev, Britany & Kids, and Camille & Olivia drove to Utah for the Easter week. The boys Gary, Kellen, and Jeremy flew in for the weekend to be at Chelsey's Baptism on Saturday. It was quite a day what with the building being changed at the last minute, not having the paperwork and not having cameras, but it was a wonderful event and a special day Chelsey.

As most of you may have read on Britany's blog she has another child in her home. They have taken in Jeremy's brothers little 2 year old girl for a few months. It has changed things in their home, but they all are adjusting well.

Kellen has finished his first year of law school and is now studying hard for finals. We can't believe that Kellen, Camille, and Olivia have lived here almost a year. It has gone so fast. We love having them here with us. Camille and Olivia are going to go to LA to spend time with Kate, Camille's sister over the Mother's Day weekend.

Happy Mothers Day to all moms, sisters, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers! We love you!


Dwayne & Patty Family:

We went down to ST. George for a small Spring break. It was great to see Todd, Jade, Ryder, Stephanie and Heather. It was great to have warm weather and not have to deal with the April snow. We are all staying busy with work. Todd will be graduate this month with a degree in nursing. ( He is glad to be done with school) .

I will be sending out next month sign-ups for the reunion which is July 18,2009.


Hal & Diana Family:

Kelly & Stephanee family:

Hey all, we have had a lot going on here in St George! We found us a house and bought it! It took longer than expected to get into it because we had to deal with the state in trying to get the $6,000 down payment, but we finally got it all squared away and are happily in our new home! We have been here about a week now and love it! We are still trying to get things out of boxes and put away and getting decorations up but we are slowly getting there. Now that we are in a house, we have begun the search for our first child....a little beagle puppy! If anyone knows anyone that are selling them, let us know! We enjoyed watching Uncle Dwayne on the news the other day and getting to spend some time with Grandpa and Grandma before they headed back up north.
