COUSINS

March 2016

Grandpa Arthur is getting the tree's all cleaned up along the road.  He has filled the pickup at least 10 times this week...way to go Grandpa!!

COUSINS

This has been COUSINS week.

Allyson and Sarah baked bread for all the COUSINS and we grandparents.

They ventured into Walmart with all 8 grandchildren...brave souls.

Allison bought orange shirts for everyone to enjoy competitions together.  Our two youngest  COUSINS just finished exercising. 

Time for the basketball tournament!

Oh, Grandpa was the kite flying teacher.

Thank's Grandpa for helping me get my kite up to the sky!

We can do this with the winds help.

The kite has a great tail too!

Allyson and Sarah fed us lots of fun meals...Grandma Gene made deviled eggs a couple of times.

I had to get a picture of Uncle Todd and Uncle Ryan with Grandpa Arthur.

Of course the photo wasn't complete till we stopped Uncle Mike and got him in the picture too.

SUNDAY, 20 March 2016
It has been a busy week.  Eric and Cecily have traveled to Guam, Tokyo and Hawaii and Heather and Lily went to London and Norway.  Sarah made a quick trip up to Utah for her Uncles funeral.  Grandpa Arthur and Grandma Gene played with all the grandchildren here, and went to the Tanner wedding reception last evening.  Nothing like a wedding to remind us how this week came to be!  We saw, on facebook, our niece Susannah had a baby boy last evening. Congratulations to Adam and Susannah.  This makes four children for them.  Now their three little girls have a baby brother to dress up with & baby...too fun.
Grandpa Arthur has watched lots of basketball games this week and Grandma Gene watched the Provo City Center Temple youth celebration, "Beauty for Ashes".  Today the Provo City Center Temple will be dedicated.  Lots of COUSINS will be blessed to enjoy this House of the Lord.

I'm still in a terrible patient mode and having some good and bad days...but that is to be expected when you have had colon cancer surgery, right?  Grandpa Arthur and Grandma Gene are looking forward to Sacrament Meeting today.  We hope each of you can enjoy this Sabbath Day.  We will enjoy pondering The Savior's life this coming week before Easter.  May each of us be thankful for His life, teachings and brotherhood.  Blessings to each of you as this COUSINS week closes with many great memories.
Be kind to your families and to each other.  We are so grateful for each of you.
"God bless us, every one!"
Hug's always,
Grandpa Arthur & Grandma Gene
