As I read all the posts, it sounds like Shannon and Patty need to have a chat about a pan!!
Grandma & Grandpa:
Dear Family members,
It has been a little over a month since our reunion. We again thank Patty for her work on the reunion. We enjoyed visiting with each of you. Verna said her family would do it next year. we want these reunions to continue. Our life has been very routine since our last newsletter. We do the normal activities. We do indexing, etc. We enjoy your blogs and learning of your activities. It appears our Thanksgiving Party will be small. We can understand your situations. we welcome whoever wants to come. We are enjoying our new Temple in Draper. We enjoy anyone who comes to visit. We did take a trip to Chicago during the summer . Most of you knew about that. That was the only trip we took accept for the Rexburg reunion. When one gets older one takes fewer trips. We are both fine and do stay busy doing our thing. I guess I don't have much to write about tonight. I'll do better next time. We pray for the ill and unemployed in our family.
Keep up the good work! Love
Grandma and Grandpa, Mom and Dad etc
Ron & Maud Mary Family:
Eric & Shannon Family:
First of all, I left a glass pan at the family party in July. Did anyone happen to pick it up for me? Let me know! Thanks!
Our family had a very fun, eventful summer. Eric enjoyed a youth conference trip to Rexburg, and while there was called to be the Young Men's President. He is so excited about it! He loves being in the Young Men's program. The kids met up with him for the Westover family reunion, while I stayed home with Jessica. So we all had a vacation of sorts -- just not all together! Emma broke her wrist by falling of her bunk bed early in the morning. Her first cast was pink, and her current one glows in the dark. She has begun 1st grade and loves it. Emma, Dallin, and Liz all have their own bunnies. Emma's had babies, but the mom ate/didn't care for them, and they all died. It was sad. Liz's bunny should have babies soon. Hopefully her bunny will take care of her babies! We also had 3 lambs born this summer, so we've had lots of growth in our family.
Dan & Verna Family:
We had a really quick summer. We didn't do anything really out of the ordinary. We just sort of relaxed at home. We are now all back in school and are looking forward to Christmas break. Miguel is in all day kindergarten so the house is quiet. Both Courtney and Tanya have jobs now, Kara is in Young Womens, and Faith is getting really good on her skateboard. KaRanda did visit with her brother and sister during the month of July and enjoyed herself. Otherwise, we are all doing fine.
Robert & Jamie Family:
We had a great summer. We got to go camping a few times and enjoyed each others company. We spent most of June at the Dr with Davey. We are very blessed to have things turn out the way they did. July was spent mostly working and growing our giant garden. I have no idea how August flew by and what we did. Summer went by way too fast and now the kids are back in school. They all like their teachers and are trying to get back to the school routine. We have all five kids in school this year. Davey is in eighth grade and disappointed that he could not play football this year because of Dr's orders but he will next year. Becca is in sixth grade and is very happy to have her class with most of her friends. Will is in fifth grade and is ready to start playing football on the little league team. Tristen is in first grade he has two different teachers and likes both of them. Tyrel is in all day kindergarten he is loving the fact that he can finally go to school with the big kids. Robert is now working with John and is enjoying his job. Jamie has been getting more hours at the bank and is trying to adjust to having all of the kids in school. It is a little strange to have some alone time and be able to clean the house and have it stay that way for a few hours.
Gary & Bev Family:
July was a little crazy for Gary and Bev. On Jul 2 they left Arizona and Bev got back on the 20, with Gary flying back and forth for work. In time we visited Cokeville to help build a new greenhouse for Bev's dad, We celebrated the 4th in Wyoming.yes the few people there had activities and even fireworks. Then we went to a cabin on Bear Lake with Bev's family celebrate her dad's 80th Birthday. Everyone was there but Morgan's son on a mission in Alaska. It was a good thing it was a large cabin with 42 of us there. It was so fun to be in a cooler place to swim, boat, golf, and hike Menitacka Cave, visit and just relax for 5 days.
Then back to Salt Lake to visit friends and Gary to golf. Then it was great to see all of you at the Wilkinson Reunion picnic. It is so fun to see everyone that could be there. By that time I was tired and ready to heard home. Vacations are wonderful and visiting relatives but it was great to be home. August started out quiet but like most months changed quickly.
Riley and Tricia's Chelsey and Corbin started school. Chelsey is in 3rd grade and Corbin in 2nd. they are growing so fast. Keegan will be 3 in Sept and he started pre-school 2 days a week. Kaylix turned 2 in August his hand is still healing from the burn from the iron. Riley is still working at UPS and Tricia is busy with 4 very active kids and helping with the PTA again this year.
Britany and Jeremy have had a busy summer with Utah and California trips visiting both of their families and friends. Jeremy's niece Olivia is no longer with them. She is back in UT with her parents. Maya is 4 and is so ready to go back to pre-school after Labor day (mom is really ready). Kenyon is 2 and has turned in to quite a chatter box. He loves to play with his trains and boats at grandma's house. Both of the kids loves to swim all the time. Britany and Jeremy have a 7 month old foster girl. Jasmine has fit into their family really well. They will probably have her for a few months. She is a cutie and everyone really likes her.
Kellen and Camille traveled this summer like all of us. We have to get away from the heat for a while. They went to UT and California also. Camille's brother left on his mission for Moscrow Russia in July. So they had a lot of family activities to enjoy with him and her family. Kellen worked at the law school this summer in the admission office so that kept him busy. School started for him again the middle of August. So it is back to the books for him. He has 2 more years. Camille is busy with a active 2 year old. Olivia has such an imagination. She loves being a princess or a mermaid. She also loves to swim and has just given up her floaties and is swimming on her own the length of the pool "just like Maya", as she says.
Bev attended Education Week the middle of August. It was the first time. She went with her sister Roxzann and her niece. Loved it, got to see Maud Mary and group. Visited for a lunch break. Will go again next year! Maud Mary I know that is a shocker! After going to ed week then Bev went with her parents, sister, and brother up to northern Idaho to Kamia for her dad's sister and husbands 50th wedding anniversary party. I have now been in Grangeville, Kamia, and all the other little towns in the hills that mom and dad talk about from their mission in the Spokane Mission. It was great to see the beautiful country and visit with cousins that I hadn't seen in a long time.
Hope things will quiet down after Labor Day (we will see).
Dwayne & Patty Family:
We can't believe that summer is gone already, where did it go. Anyways here is our summer. Todd was offered a job in Las Vegas, so they moved there, bought a house and are scheduled to move in in about three weeks. Heather enjoyed her break from school, and worked during the day and socialized at night. Ben and Alissa went to New York for a week, so I was able to go and be with Jacob while they were gone. We had the best time. Steph and Heather took a road trip together to San Francisco while I was there also. Jacob loved having us all there. He kept us going in the right direction, whether it was to the park or to get ice cream. He knows his directions! Ben and Alissa took us into the city when they got back. I loved the chocolate factory!!! We had the Wilkinson family reunion in July and it was good to see those who were able to come. A big thank you to all who brought food to help out . Stephanie moved back home to go to school up here. We love having her here! We hope that everyone else had a fantastic summer!!!!
** At the family reunion someone brought a dessert in a glass 13x9 pan. Please let me know who it belongs to and I will get it back to you.

Jeremy & Laura Family:
Jeremy has started this semester. This is his last year. Applying for jobs all over Utah. Bleh. For a very accurate picture of what the kids and I are doing, check my latest blog post (seriously, check it, :) www.jensenjamboree.blogspot.com
Kelly and Stephanee :
We have had a busy summer so far...we bought a beagle puppy on Kelly's birthday in June. We named him Oakley and he has kept us VERY busy! From potty training the little guy to teaching him how to play fetch, it has all been an adventure! He follows us around the house and taught himself how to drive us crazy. Other than work, we have been keeping busy with helping my parents move and remodel their house, continue to decorate the house, starting school, and learning how to cook new meals.

June
I was wondering if for the summer, how would you all feel about doing the newsletter every other month, then maybe people will have a little more to report on and also a few more people will participate! Let me know your thoughts!
Also, everyone remember to RSVP to Patty that you are coming to the family reunion on July 18. We will see you there!!!

Grandpa & Grandma:
Family:
There are several happenings coming up this summer that you are anxiously awaiting. They are so ingrained in your psyche that you certainly don't need another reminder from me. See you there.
Mother and I are still scheduled to fly to Chicago on the 22nd of this month and return on the 25th. It's a music thing and we are looking forward to a lovely time.
We have been evaluating our appliances and have decided to replace our refrigerator. Not sure of its age but, like us, it's old and still operates well but uses a lot of energy. we'll let Rocky Mountain Power pick it up and haul it away unless someone in the family is in need of a good used refrigerator. It's a Magic Chef and has a capacity of 21 cubic feet. It has an ice maker and is self defrosting. It's almond colored and can be yours at no cost to you except you must pick it up--we don't deliver at that price. First come gets it.
We are both reasonably well and deliriously happy to have been wedded for almost 58 years and to have such a swell family as you-all.
Ron & Maud Mary Family:
Brent & Melissa Family:
Not too much new here. Kolby and Jordan are so VERY excited for school to be out! They are excited for summer activities and are counting down the days till they can go to the ranch with Grandma and Grandpa! Perci, Braden and Harley are loving the warm weather! Perci and Braden are getting good at riding their bikes and Harley has finally decided grass is OK and will crawl on it. He has been tasting rocks, bark, dirt and all the other fun outdoor stuff that we won’t tell his mom about! J We are enjoying our zoo and dinosaur park passes and look forward to more outings! We are also looking forward to the reunions this month and next and seeing everyone! We recently made our family blog private so if you are interested in reading it e-mail me at brownie109@comcast.net and I will send you an invite! Happy Summer!
Eric & Shannon Family:
I am so glad school is out! The pressure is off to get everyone up, ready, and out the door by 8:10 every morning for a few months! Jessica is doing great -- she is sleeping 4-6 hrs. at night which is so nice. Liz has gotten into anything and everything over the last month (poop, medicine, eggs, insecticide, sugar, cereal). I seriously have about gone crazy a few times and prayed that Liz would survive childhood and that I would survive her! Eric is enjoying a break in school and has taken the kids hiking, worked in his garden, and helped out tons around the house. Emma and Dallin are being great helpers most of the time and enjoying life as usual. That's about it for now! I suppose we will be seeing many of you soon!
Dan & Verna Family:
Summer is going great. Busy but we are really enjoying being out of school.
We went to SL during the first week of the summer. Sara "graduated" from kindergarten. They sang cute songs, said cute things and were basically cute. It was so cute! Jamie had to go to SL for some training for her 2 hr a week teller job so her youngest two hung out with us. While we were there we stayed at Mom and Dads and they took us to see Melissa and Shannon and Maud Mary. It was fun. We also visited a zoo that my Miguel still talks about.
This summer is full of doctor, dentist etc appointments. So, we are staying busy. Remember someone once said, "Come what may and Love it." We are really loving it.
Upcoming event: Brandon and Suzanne will be blessing their baby in July. John and Liz will find out what their baby is in about 3 weeks. We are so excited. Enjoy your summer!
Brandon & Suzanne Family:
Hello Family,
We decided it's time we came out of hiding to send off an update. Brandt Ki was born 4/30 8lbs 2oz and 20" tall. He had to spend most of his first week on a bilirubin light bed due to the doctor having to pull him out of a too small of an incision while the assisting doctor pushed down on Suzanne's stomach. That caused bruising in his head and jaundice. He then lost more than 10% of his weight. All this required daily early morning trips for blood tests and weighing. Suzanne is now working night and day to take care of his pooping problems. He is pooping so much that he is getting open sores on his bottom. We are single handedly keeping the diaper companies in business. Our other son is enjoying his little brother and is constantly wanting to help. He still struggles with the concept of playing by himself. He hates not being able to go outside.
End of May, we took our yearly drive up to Snowbird to give Keaton some fresh air and freedom to just play. He loved swimming (jumping in the pool), hiking, playing arcade games, listening to a bluegrass band, painting model cars and planes, going to church there and playing with his cousins. Brandon and Suzanne enjoyed having a room of their own and the help we got with both kids.
Now that we are home, we are planning/hoping that Brandt's bowel problems will be under control to bless him on Sunday 7/5 at 1pm. We no longer serve in the Nursery and Brandon has been called as the employment chairman for our ward. For those of you that would like your first glimpses of Brandt, come rain, snow, mudslides or continued pooping, we will be at the Hinckley reunion on 6/17. See you there.
Gary & Bev Family:
There has been a lot going on with all the members of this portion of the Wilkinson family! There has been a lot of ball games and a lot of traveling a lot of excitement with school out and a lot of fun!
If you need more update than that, you can check all the kids blogs!!!!!
We look forward to seeing everyone in July!
Dwayne & Patty Family:
Not much has changed for us in May. I ran in the Race for the Cure on May 9. This year I ran for a friend in my ward who has 2 types of cancer one of them being Stage 4 Breast Cancer. I ran my best race yet coming in at 28 minutes. Next year Steph and Heather will be running with me!
School is out for me as of June 5. Todd graduated in May, and Todd, Jade and Ryder moved to Las Vegas where Todd will be working. He is working at a new hospital in Vegas. We are so excited for him and his family.
Ben and Alissa are doing well. Jacob started at a new school and loves it, and says his new friends are nice.
Heather and Stephanie are busy with work and enjoying the summer in St. George. Heather is running in her first 5k on June 5. Good Luck Heather!
Also don't forget the family reunion is coming up on July 18. Many of you have RSVP. If you haven't please let me know what your status is so that I can start planning food. Thanks!!!!!
Hal & Diana Family:
Jeremy & Laura Family:
The kids and Laura spent two weeks in San Diego with her family. Jeremy was in Logan for class. He came down for a long Memorial Day weekend with us in SD. We hit Disneyland, the zoo, the park, the beach, and Laura even got to go to the temple for her cousin's wedding. Lots of fun, sunscreen, and cousins.
Big milestones included Paul turning 3, and Katie getting her first tooth, rolling over, and scooting on her belly. Please check out the video of our excursion on our blog.
Also, everyone remember to RSVP to Patty that you are coming to the family reunion on July 18. We will see you there!!!

May Happenings
Hey everyone, the family reunion is coming up fast! Patty would like to get a head count of how many people are planning on attending. We all would appreciate knowing how much food to make when she passes out assignments for food next month! So, if you could send her an email with how many people from your family will be attending, that would be awesome!!!

You guys are the best! And now for your reading pleasure!!
Grandpa & Grandma:
Happy springtime to all our families wherever you are,

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.

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.

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.

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.
