HALLOWEEN TERROR ( ie: the weather )

Well this looks to be a bust of a Halloween. It is pouring rain.  A few brave souls came between big showers, but it started up again and is just a heavy rain with wind on top of that.  I did get to see my favorites though and here they are.  "Got Candy?"

Tell Me The Stories of...Tyson

Today was my birthday.  We started out good by going to the Mt. Timp Temple and sealing my sister Barbara to my parents and doing some other sealings as well.  Is was nice and I enjoyed this part of the day.  After we got home I ran a couple of errands and then went home.  Not long after that Jamie called and was very upset because Tyson had injured himself by falling off the playground slide at school.  Could I please watch Logan and Brecklyn.  So I took them to my house while Jamie went to get Ty and take him to check out the arm.  Yes, it was broken and had to be set.  He is in a temporary cast till Monday.  This took a long time to take care of and they all looked exhausted when they got back home.

While tending the 2 kids, we were at the piano and I asked Logan if he knew the primary song that goes like this:  Tell me the stories of ---?  Logan responded quickly by saying, "Tell me the Stories of Tyson".  Even though I hadn't been too happy, I kind of had to laugh, anyway.  So Tyson has a story to tell now and boy, talk about boys being boys...Not a good thing.

After they got back we met them at Porter's Place.  We ate and then went home for Cake.  So my birthday wasn't the best I have had, but we all survived it...to Tell the stories of Tyson on yet another day!

The picture is an interesting one, because Tyson has gray hair (part of his Halloween get-up)  We all suggested the day was quite stressful for him and aged him alot!

Grandma, I Am So Glad You Are A Genealogist

Tyson, my 9 year old grandson, has always shown an interest in his genealogy and often asks me to show him the family pedigree chart and asks about certain ancestors, how they are related, what they did, etc. Yesterday, was the same. He wanted to see again how he was related to Joseph Smith, George Albert Smith, etc. So we talked about it and where the line ties in, etc. And with a big smile he said, "Grandma, I am so glad you are a genealogist and I get my genealogy all done for free!" I had to laugh, he always knows how to get on my good side!
