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.

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,
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.

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.

April
Grandpa & Grandma:
Dear Family Members,I apologize for goofing up last month. I hope it doesn't happen again.
This is the last Sunday of March. Next Sunday is April Conference. I hope each of you will watch at least parts of it.
We are still in St George and will be until sometime in May. We seem to stay very busy doing our things.We didn't do our Eye screening this year. I am not sure why. Perhaps economics.
Probably the biggest event was the dedication of the Draper Temple. We look forward to going to it.
We don't have many visitors but this week-end Verna and her girls came to see us, Hal and Diana and part of their family came to see us,We enjoyed seeing them and invite others to come and see us.
The trees are blossoming. Spring is here. we turn on the television to discover most of you folks are having snow. That. of course eliminates the folks living in Arizona. They are probably envious they can't build a snow man. We all have our problems. Those members living in St George also avoid the snow. Tough luck!
School will soon be out for those attending school. Make some plans for a delightful summer.
I guess my message for all of you is to Perhaps plant a vegetable garden, try to have a savings plan, Get your food storage built up, and remember if you are prepared you won't need to fear. I remember the depression years . we struggled and made it, so can we now.(does that sound familiar?) Any way keep the good work and always remember we love you, so does your Heavenly Father. he knows what you are going through and he is there to help you along the way.
Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma
Ron & Maud Mary Family:
Brent & Melissa Family:
We are still here! I guess our biggest news is that after YEARS of working 2 jobs, Brent was able to quit his 2nd job! Yea! Not sure what we will do with Saturdays off! (the kids have many plans for him! J) I can’t remember him ever having Saturdays off! He is still working a lot M-F 12 hour shifts, but he will actually be home more then he was before, which makes us all happy! Kolby and Jordan are on spring break this week and so excited! I hope they will want to go back to school! They are VERY excited for warmer weather! The younger kids have been sick off and on for over 2 months. Just when one gets well, someone else gets sick and shares (not what I want them sharing!) with the others. It has been a vicious circle! Yet another reason we are excited for warm weather! Braden is getting tubes in his ears later this month! I hope that will help him feel better! Perci is loving being able to play outside! She is quite the little mommy, repeating everything I say, including telling Braden how to ask for a drink (we are still working on HER asking right!) but she can tell Braden how to ask! Harley is crawling and into EVERYTHING! Him and Braden are quite the trouble making pair and definitely keep me busy! He still doesn’t sleep all night, I think I have forgotten what it’s like to sleep all night! Nothing new with me, just trying to stay sane in all the crazy busyness around here! All and all we are doing OK! Busy, but happy and so thankful for a steady job and GREAT family support!
Dan & Verna Higbee Family:
The month of March was a busy month at the Higbee house. Dan had spring break and he and Robert went to California to visit his mother. We are expecting to loose our 2 year old Kaden this coming week. In his place we will be welcoming in a 4 year old. We also welcomed Cammie into our home this month. Plus, I became a legal guardian to KaRanda. All my girls are doing terrific. We have spring break coming up this week. We did go down to ST. George for a few days of shopping and enjoying life. It was really fun. I am also happy to announce that John and Liz are expecting once more. She is due at about Halloween time. That will bring my grandchildren to 11 counting Tisha and Salomon's boys. I love it!
Robert & Jamie Family:
Hello Family:
The Higbee family in Clawson, UT is doing well. Will is in baseball, he has had 2 games but due to Mother Nature they have both been moved to different dates. He is real excited because he plays Pitcher, Catcher, and Short Stop. He is very excited to be able to play in a game, that is if the weather allows him to, I keep telling him that he will have plenty of games to play. Davey is on a swimming team, Castle Dale has opened a new pool and has allowed anyone with swimming experience to join a team. He is doing really good and he is enjoying it very much. We just had a Scout Court of Honor and he has earned his First Class Rank. He will be getting his Star Rank after his 4month waiting period. And working hard to get his badges he needs to get his Life Rank 6months after that. Becca is doing very well in school and is looking forward to summer. Tristen and Ty are doing well and looking forward for summer break as well. Jamie is working hard with Taxes and Book keeping. She also is the Family History Consultant for the ward and is enjoying that calling very much. She is a very hard working full time Mom and is not looking forward to summer break. But we are all looking forward to summer to go camping and getting out in the open to play in the great out doors. Hope everything is going well for everyone else.
Brandon & Suzanne Family:
Hello Family,
March was an enjoyable month for us. We had our first family picnic in the park, baseball game (involving plastic bat and ball) and kite flying. The bad thing is the dollar kite took a dive and needed repairs. Repairs have been made and we're anxiously awaiting the next wind filled day. We visited Eric and Shannon's farm this month. Keaton had a good time playing with the kids. Brandon is considering putting in a raspberry bush. He still misses Grandma and Grandpa's raspberry bush that he would eat off of every chance he got. He feels it will be an essential item in our food supply. We are now in the last month of awaiting the arrival of our second child. We are excited and nervous that it will or not be a boy. Keaton's excitement for a baby brother is on a new high. He continues to be full of energy and we seem to be decreasing in energy. In case anyone is wondering, we will not be attending the Westover reunion this year. To end, we would like to say congrats to Chelsey on her baptism and apologize that we are not able to attend.
John, Liz and Sara:
We have been really busy for the last several weeks, thankfully, in a good way. We got back from our little cruise on on the 10th of March and it couldn't have come sooner. It was a really great time but on the last day at sea, I got sick....not sea sick.....morning sickness. So that being said, yes, we are pregnant again! I'm due October 29th and we could be more excited. I went to my first doctors appointment at the end of March when I was 10 weeks to the day. We got to hear the baby's heart beat at a strong 170 beats per minute and that was the best sound ever. An ultrasound was done to make sure on the due date and the doctor thought there might even be twins. Thankfully, only one showed up but I must say, a VERY active one. He/she was dancing around like crazy! It's the funniest thing to see. We will find out what the sex of the baby is at the end of May. I will be done with the first trimester in another week and can't wait for the lovely symptoms common to this time ease off. It will be nice to have a life again instead of staying in bed almost all day.
A lot of great things are happening with our business and it is continuing to grow by huge leaps and bounds. We have hired a few new sales reps and many are already getting several accounts and starting to make some good money. We are very grateful to have our business in this economy. We are truly blessed.
Sara is the funnest kid ever and she continues to amaze us with her creative personality everyday. She is also doing exceptionally well at school and got top marks on her last report card. Also, she was one of five students in her class to be chosen to be in an advanced reading course. We couldn't be more proud of her. She is hoping to have a baby sister and she says she will be sad if it's a boy. The only thing she is worried about is if the baby drools on her toys, she definitely doesn't want that.

Gary & Bev Family:
Riley & Tricia Family:
Arizona is HOT!
We just got back from visiting family in Arizona, and we had a lot of fun! If you get to go and visit, don't forget your sunscreen, the kids swam for over 3 hours and were not well protected by SPF, they are roasted, toasted and fried! They all are a bright shade of red. Chelsey has blisters on her shoulders from her burn. Us pasty white folks who haven't seen the sun on months, we were not very smart!
Anyways, we had a lot of fun visiting everyone and spending time together watching conference. What a great conference it was too!
Chelsey has started softball and is doing great so far this season (with only 1 game played!!) She is also looking forward to getting baptized this weekend, the invitation still stands if anyone is interested in coming, but I know that everyone is busy with the Easter weekend!
Corbin just started baseball practice today! Riley is coaching with our Brother in Law, it should be a lot of fun again this year.
Keegan is still sick, (see my blog for updates!) He is being heavily medicated at this point!
Kaylix, well, he grabbed my iron after I ironed my shirt and burned his entire hand. It is really bad. We visited the Dr, yet again for advice. We are taking good care of it hoping that we will not have to have skin grafts done on it.
Tricia is about ready to pull all her hair out with all the times that we have been to the Dr. the last few weeks. We have much more to come too! Riley is still working really hard and is looking forward to taking time to spend with his kids with softball and baseball season upon us!
Dear Family Members,I apologize for goofing up last month. I hope it doesn't happen again.

Tristen and Ty are doing well and looking forward for summer break as well. Jamie is working hard with Taxes and Book keeping. She also is the Family History Consultant for the ward and is enjoying that calling very much. She is a very hard working full time Mom and is not looking forward to summer break. But we are all looking forward to summer to go camping and getting out in the open to play in the great out doors. Hope everything is going well for everyone else.
Brandon & Suzanne Family:
Hello Family,
March was an enjoyable month for us. We had our first family picnic in the park, baseball game (involving plastic bat and ball) and kite flying. The bad thing is the dollar kite took a dive and needed repairs. Repairs have been made and we're anxiously awaiting the next wind filled day. We visited Eric and Shannon's farm this month. Keaton had a good time playing with the kids. Brandon is considering putting in a raspberry bush. He still misses Grandma and Grandpa's raspberry bush that he would eat off of every chance he got. He feels it will be an essential item in our food supply. We are now in the last month of awaiting the arrival of our second child. We are excited and nervous that it will or not be a boy. Keaton's excitement for a baby brother is on a new high. He continues to be full of energy and we seem to be decreasing in energy. In case anyone is wondering, we will not be attending the Westover reunion this year. To end, we would like to say congrats to Chelsey on her baptism and apologize that we are not able to attend.
John, Liz and Sara:
We have been really busy for the last several weeks, thankfully, in a good way. We got back from our little cruise on on the 10th of March and it couldn't have come sooner. It was a really great time but on the last day at sea, I got sick....not sea sick.....morning sickness. So that being said, yes, we are pregnant again! I'm due October 29th and we could be more excited. I went to my first doctors appointment at the end of March when I was 10 weeks to the day. We got to hear the baby's heart beat at a strong 170 beats per minute and that was the best sound ever. An ultrasound was done to make sure on the due date and the doctor thought there might even be twins. Thankfully, only one showed up but I must say, a VERY active one. He/she was dancing around like crazy! It's the funniest thing to see. We will find out what the sex of the baby is at the end of May. I will be done with the first trimester in another week and can't wait for the lovely symptoms common to this time ease off. It will be nice to have a life again instead of staying in bed almost all day.
A lot of great things are happening with our business and it is continuing to grow by huge leaps and bounds. We have hired a few new sales reps and many are already getting several accounts and starting to make some good money. We are very grateful to have our business in this economy. We are truly blessed.
Sara is the funnest kid ever and she continues to amaze us with her creative personality everyday. She is also doing exceptionally well at school and got top marks on her last report card. Also, she was one of five students in her class to be chosen to be in an advanced reading course. We couldn't be more proud of her. She is hoping to have a baby sister and she says she will be sad if it's a boy. The only thing she is worried about is if the baby drools on her toys, she definitely doesn't want that.

Riley & Tricia Family:
Arizona is HOT!
We just got back from visiting family in Arizona, and we had a lot of fun! If you get to go and visit, don't forget your sunscreen, the kids swam for over 3 hours and were not well protected by SPF, they are roasted, toasted and fried! They all are a bright shade of red. Chelsey has blisters on her shoulders from her burn. Us pasty white folks who haven't seen the sun on months, we were not very smart!
Anyways, we had a lot of fun visiting everyone and spending time together watching conference. What a great conference it was too!
Chelsey has started softball and is doing great so far this season (with only 1 game played!!) She is also looking forward to getting baptized this weekend, the invitation still stands if anyone is interested in coming, but I know that everyone is busy with the Easter weekend!
Corbin just started baseball practice today! Riley is coaching with our Brother in Law, it should be a lot of fun again this year.
Keegan is still sick, (see my blog for updates!) He is being heavily medicated at this point!
Kaylix, well, he grabbed my iron after I ironed my shirt and burned his entire hand. It is really bad. We visited the Dr, yet again for advice. We are taking good care of it hoping that we will not have to have skin grafts done on it.
Tricia is about ready to pull all her hair out with all the times that we have been to the Dr. the last few weeks. We have much more to come too! Riley is still working really hard and is looking forward to taking time to spend with his kids with softball and baseball season upon us!

Hal & Diana Family:
Greetings from Richfield,I really do not have much to say this time however, last Saturday we went and bought two new Carbon Monoxide alarms. Check out Laura's blog and you will figure it out. Pretty scary what could happen. We are so grateful they had one. Kelly and Steph are moving into their own place the end of this month. Jared and Brittany have bought a home in Nephi and will move in the end of May. Jared is now working in Nephi as a Highway Patrol. Everyone in the family is doing well!
*****Correction from Last months newsletter!!!!*****
I should have said that Hal has a detached Retina not a attached Retina, dah, hopefully everyone has an attached retina!
Jeremy & Laura Family:
Not much going on with the Jeremy and Laura Jensen family. Just living life. Laura is going to San Diego in a few weeks for her sister's wedding. Then, again in May for two weeks with the kids while Jeremy is at Utah State taking a week long class. He will go to San Diego for a long Memorial Day weekend. Pretty much that is the most exciting thing happening with us. If we do anything fun in San Diego, we will report for the June newsletter. TTFN.
