THEY KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN


Sept. 30, 2019 - "They know how to have fun" will show you how two of our family groups really do know what makes for fun times.
 Yesterday's Surprise Birthday party for four members of Peggy and Bruce's family.
You can see here that Peggy has already enjoying the fun and games and is now resting doing what she loves best - being with her grandchildren and caring for them. 

Here we see three little cousins enjoying "Group play."  The definition
this kind of play is that they each have their own toy to play with
but are near each other, giving them the feeling of togetherness.

What can be a better way to introduce one's new spouse to the rest of the family?  Danny is glad to let his new wife, Jackie, blend into the family as they talk with Jennie &  Emily.        

Peggy knows everyone.  Now it looks like she is introducing Benny, Kayla and their son, Dash, whose home we are in.

 Memphis, Danny, KayZee and Jackie get better acquainted with Owen & Bruce as they tease each other.

Danny & KayZee come sauntering by to let Kayla know all is well in their home as Dash approves.
 What can't be shown in the few pictures I took is the fun they had outside with games that I didn't get to see because I dropped off to sleep in my easy chair and Peggy thought it wise not to wake me. (she was probably right because I heard it was a fast moving riot.)  When they came in it was time for Birthday Cake and more indoor fun to celebrate those having birthdays in October.  Those who have birthdays in October in the Royer family besides Grandpa Bruce are: Maxwell, Jackie and Jennie Royer Allen.  Everyone agreed that this day was THE BEST!

Last week part of Chris & Rosie's family came to visit.  Probably their last one before they move to Denonsville, Ark.  While they were here we had a happy time talking & laughing at the things which brought them to actually making the move, finding just the right house to move into and all of the tasks it made for them to do before they went there to look for a home, when they got there and found their dream house, getting back home in Salt Lake and making the preparations to actually make the move. 
As you can see, after a delightful dinner and teasing each other through explaining what they need to do next to make the move they could still smile.  They are great at that - it helps make the best of a difficult situation - even crowding all of us on the sofa at one time.




Grandpa just finished his dinner and ate it "All Gone" as you can see by the empty bowl and glass.  This is the latest news about him from last night's interesting time with him as he pointed to different things that he could see but I couldn't so he would do his best to tell me what they were - mostly people doing fun things.
I couldn't resist sending this shot of our front garden yesterday.   So now love to everyone, Gr. &Gr. Christensen

WHEN CHRISTMAS BROUGHT MY BELOVED MARIMBAPHONE TO ME.

Image
 It all started when my Uncle Delbert called my parents on the phone to ask if he could bring his Marimbaphone to our house for a few months since he was painting some of the rooms in his house and he didn't want it to get all dusty.  Vida Swenson, my mom, turned to her husband, Alfred and asked him what he thought.  He quickly agreed to the  plan and within a couple of hours his marimbaphone was standing in our living room.  I watched my Dad play it several times and decided to ask him if I could play it too.  He was as excited as I was that I was asking to play this instrument.  So for several weeks he taught me some simple tunes.  Then one day he said, I think you are ready to play for parties, would you like that?  "Oh Yes!" Came my reply.  And that is what I did until my Uncle Delbert called to say he was ready to come and get his marimbaphone back. It was only a few minutes before he was there to pick it up. -----------------------...

Family Motto “ Thee lift me and I'll lift thee and we will ascend together.” “ Be happy. Let discouragement be a challenge, not a defeat; an opportunity & a privilege.” September 24, 2017 Dear Family, I hardly know where to start. So much has happened the last couple of days that is important. So I guess I will begin with the one that is in my heart above all the others. I received this text message from my cousin, Pamela, late this afternoon: “ Dad died peacefully this afternoon. He received a blessing of love from his bishop last week and a visit of love from a former bishop this afternoon. It has been a reverent experience. Funeral Friday. “ This is my reply: “Thank you so very much for letting us know about Uncle John's passing. I'm glad we got to see him a few weeks ago and I'm also happy that he is now peaceful and happy. We are planning on coming down. Jerusha is going to bring us. Love you tons. God bless you and help you ...

BLESSED WITH HAPPY ENDINGS

Image
TODAY'S STORY IS ABOUT HAPPY ENDINGS.  Here we see the happy ending to our whole day spent in the ER at the Brigham City Hospital.  I, Grandma Rosalie received a call early in the morning saying that Wendell had been taken there because he passed out sitting at the breakfast table.  Chris quickly took me there and we watched and prayed all day while they did all the tests they could give to determine the cause.  At one point I called our neighbor, Brother Peck to come and help Chris give Wendell a blessing.  Even though he was leaving in an hour to go out of town he came.  The blessing that Chris gave after Brother Peck anointed was a beautiful one of recovery.  I was surprised, but relieved.  And it seemed to me that it was soon after the blessing that he looked and responded to directions better.   After he was discharged with the diagnosis that they didn't know the cause, but to keep close checks on him. We headed for The gables....
