Ashton's Graduation, Pueblo, CO

The last of April Bryce and Loralee flew to Colorado and enjoyed several days with Buck, Ashton and her parents, Van and Jeann Newville that flew in from Florida. The morning before Newvilles arrived, Ashton and Buck took us up to the little town (Westcliffe) in the mountains that Ashton's family moved to while she was in high school. Ashton's H.S. graduating class was around 36. We then stopped at a castle, in the town, Rye, some guy is building in his spare time out of whatever he can get his hands on.

Buck's grandparents (Worthens) and his Aunt Katreena and Cousin Serena drove out from Utah also to attend Ashton's graduation. She graduation May 2, 2009 from University of Colorado-Pueblo with a BS in Business Management.

Colt and Sally

LDS Appleton Stake Youth Conference.

The Youth Conference theme was "Firm and Steadfast".
The brass ball that the middle boy is holding is a compass called the "Liahona" it was given to Lehi (1 Nephi 16: 10 ) "And it came to pass that as my father arose in the morning, and went forth to the tent door, to his great astonishment he beheld upon the ground a round ball of curious workmanship; and it was of fine brass. And within the ball were two spindles; and the one pointed the way whither we should go into the wilderness." (1 Nephi 16: 28) " And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the pointers which were in the ball, that they did work according to the faith and diligence and heed which we did give unto them."

Family Home Evening!!

Monday, August 11, 2008

Family Home Evening (FHE) is where LDS families get together, usually on a Monday night, and study gospel principles, read scriptures, play games or do an activity.
This week we (Bryce, Loralee, Danielle, Dana (Danielle's friend from work) and Trevor went to catch Crayfish (Crawdads) in the Milwaukee River with Bryce's fishing buddy(Josh) and his family (Shana, Grant & Lucie). We have a fun time, wading in the river, turning over rocks, catching Crayfish (really Bryce and Josh were the only ones doing the catching, because we have the wrong animal fat and the Crayfish had not like it so they were catching them with their hands, the rest of us did not want to get pinched) and then coming home boiling the Crayfish and enjoying a little snack before bed. Grant is 4 and loved it, and Lucie 3 was a little indifferent about it but that didn't stop her from playing in the mud.

He is still hunting and has now with the weather turning cold has started ice fishing ( a Wisconsin tradition) in his ice shanty which he received last year for Christmas.

Dad, Mom and Trevor loaded in van, while Jake and Colt loaded in Grandpa Nielsen's old 1990 camry. That left Danielle home to finish school, work and feed Doobie and Couru. Then Christmas Eve she and Jon (boyfriend) drove down to Shanna's.

We made it out to Utah with only a flat tire on the camry.

We first drove to Cache Valley and spent a week visiting family and friends. Grandma and Grandpa Worthen made sure that include a session in the Logan Temple, (which was awesome knowing that all those that are of age hold temple recomments and we were there with three of them). Trevor went with his cousin to high school.

Christmas at Fishers

After church in Wellsville, Utah we drove to Payson, Utah and had a nice Christmas Eve Party at the Fisher's (Loralee's older sister). We then spent the next few days there. We slept out in their hometeacher's motorhome, because the house was full. Julie's (Loralee's younger sister) husband, Jesus's family was there too.

Christmas morning was quite something, with all of us in Suzanne's familyroom where Santa found us all. After breakfast etc. we headed outside where the guys have a snowball fight, the little kids built snowmen and some tubing on the hill behind their home. Some of the people there had never experienced snow.

That night we went to Katreena's (Bryce's older sister) for her son's birthday, yes he was born on Christmas.

The next day our niece/cousin, Emily was baptized, Trevor got to be a witness.

After some of us drove to the Manti Temple and went through a session. A very beautiful Temple.

Wednesday all headed to Salt Lake City (all but those that Trevor had passed a stomach bug to) There some of us did a session in the Salt Lake Temple. After we met the others and walked around Temple Square. That night those of us (and some cousins and old friends that live in the area) the could met in the S.L.C. Temple again. This time for some sealings, first Jesus' brother and wife were sealed, then their boy was sealed to them. Next Julie's family knelt at the alter as a family and the two boys they adopted were sealed to them. Loralee was able to hold David, one of the boys, at the alter and make should he hand stayed on the rest of the families'. Loralee said after that she could fill through the Holy Ghost that the sealing power is real and that she knows that those two boys and now eternal members of the Jesus and Julie Quispe family.

After we met at a resterant and ate.

January and Avery Sage Darley

Bryce's job at LM WindPower did not last long, thankful that we hadn't bought a house there and thankful we won't be living in the COLD.

Bryce (Grandpa Darley) was able to drive to Minot and be there when Avery was born. Avery was born before Loralee (Grandma) even left WI on the "AmTrak" train to help out and enjoy Buck's first. Grandpa left not long back to Grand Forks, ND to pack up. Buck drove over a few days later and helped him load up for his long Cold drive back to WI.

Avery Sage Darley: Born January 19, 2011 in Minot, North Dakota.

Loralee is grateful for the time she was able to spent with Buck, Ashton, Sariah and Avery.

Avery is a bright and alert baby and shares features of both Buck and Ashton.

The weather wasn't to bad and Loralee was able to get out and take Sariah on a few walks.

Loralee stayed for 2 1/2 weeks while Bryce was back in WI spending sun-up to sun-down on the internet looking up jobs and sending out resumes.

The Next Day

The final day in Utah, Julie's family and ours met again on temple square and watched the new movie at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

Then we walked to the Lion House for a wedding breakfast for a young man, that use to live in our ward in Wisconsin, and his bride to be. There were several friends from Wisconsin there. but we couldn't stay for the wedding, the stomach bug had hit Loralee.

There we separated from Buck, Colt and Jake and they drove back to Cache Valley, then Colt and Jake to BYU-ID and Buck back to Colorado Springs, CO. So after a short stop in Syacruse, Utah to visit an old friend, we headed back, only this time it wasn't as nice of the drive a snow storm hit.
