Richard - Arizona

Richard

Some of the family made the trip to Glendale, Arizona the first part of March. The trip was to attend the retirement ceremony and reception for my brother Richard. After 20 years, he has retired from the Air Force with more medals and recognition than anyone of us knew. I asked him why he didn't tell us half of his accomplishments. Anyone who knows Rich will understand his reply "Why, I was just doing my job." I didn't realize how involved he was with volunteering, and what an example he was to all of the Air Force personnel that he worked with. Rich - I am so proud of you and I am so lucky to have a brother as wonderful as you. I was able to spend more time with his wife Lori. She makes him so happy and everytime I see her I get to know her a little better and like her more and more. Lori, thanks for being so supportive and loving to my brother. I am glad to have you in our family. They have 4 kids - and I am sure I won't get the spelling right on them..but Dylan is the oldest and he is in the military too (we are proud of you Dylan - keep up the good work), Alicia who is in college, Kaylee who is finishing high school and Evan - such a smart, cute young man (boy)! All of their kids are VERY bright and that is no joke!!! Can't wait for you all to make it back to Utah again!!

Harlee

Well everyone knows that I am not very good at keeping things updated, but I will update a lot and then not get anymore updates for a while. Harlee is so much fun the older she gets. Grandkids are the best!!! She is now talking and you can even understand some of the things that she says. I am so glad that she is healthy, happy and smart.

Wow - the time has just flown by

I am going to try to add some updates today. It has been a long time so I hope I can remember how!!! I don't even know what pictures I have in the computer to add to the page. The farming is pretty much done for the winter other than feeding and watering animals. Hopefully there won't be any fence fixing/building until spring. I have a feeling that if you have cows, there will always be fence fixing/building. The guys have almost finished hunting and were quite successful. I think Clint still has a tag for some hunt, but maybe that is over now too. They hunted pheasants out at the farm and really had a good time. I went out a couple of times with them for the exercise more than hunting.
