Happy Birthday to Rhonda Croft, today September 17, & to Krystina on Wednesday, September 20!    Have a great day girls!Happy Belated Birthday, Darece on September 4, & a Happy 5th Anniversary to Micah & Kirena on September 8th

As I have reviewed my notes I can't believe that the last letter I wrote was on August 27th!   There has been so much going on - but most of it all of you know about!  Congratulations  to Nathan & Bri, they were married September 2 in the Oakland temple  and to Whitney & Choc who were married September 15 in the Sta!r Valley Temple!   It has been a busy time in the Grant home!    Then yesterday, September 16, their reception was held here.  We all had a wonderful time!    

Dad & I had a great time on Saturday with some great visitors,   Allen, Amber & their family and Chalin spent the day with us.  Also Cheyenne & Tchae had dinner with us before going to the reception. So very wonderful to see Chalin!  He had an eventful trip home traveling around Hurricane Irma.   Nathan & Bri also had an interesting return home from their honey moon because of Irma!

Over the past three weeks we have visited the Sundance & Wright Branches!  We love these little branches & the wonderful Saints that do so very much!   We also were able to attend a Cross Country running event in Sheridan and watch Melvin & Ira run!  They are troopers - those 2 mile races look like torture to me!  

We have done alot of Zoom FH trg mtgs over these weeks and that gives us more opportunities to help leaders and families learn the new FH processes!  Zoom works so well for this!  We discussed with Chalin how we could do an all family - FHE soon with him via Zoom into each of our homes. We will keep you posted. Will a Monday evening be best??

Dad and I have been able to do more boat fishing this fall and some good catching too. We had three catfish on two poles  one morning and that was a task to get them all landed. Each time we go its so beautiful to be out together!  We enjoy eating the fish of different kinds.

Love you all Mom and Dad

We have had a great week - an at home week & weekend!

We have had a great week - an at home week & weekend!  Today we actually went to our own ward!  It was great!  Then an afternoon spent at home - sure was strange - we hardly knew what to do!   Climbed around in the tree's of a Bishop & his wife in preparation for training we will do in the coming weeks!  

We have had several trainings this week!  they are always nice!  I have spent every day quilting with wonderful ladies who come & help!  I appreciate them all so much!  I hope to finish the quilting on Monday!  then the binding will be all that is left!  It is a great feeling!

Dad has had some fun fishing days this week - Wednesday, Friday & Saturday! As he tells it:   Wednesday to pond 5 to try for Lg Mouth bass and hybrid sun fish. I used grasshoppers on a #8 Abereen hook set under a bobber 2' down. The fish were only 12 ft from shore in 2 ft of warm water. I started with two poles but soon did only one so I could keep up with the catching. I kept a dozen of the nice ones, they are great to eat!!  Friday Shane Roberts and I went back to pond 5 and were intending to use the flatboat but too much wind so we shore fished. The hybrids were just in the nibble off the grasshopper mode today so we only caught one but lots of fun trying. Sat Mom and I went to HSbend by the rock hump near the 57 mile marker. There were hundreds of fish on the sonar and we started catching as usual around 10am. We caught 5 cats and 2 carp. Mom and I had fish on the same time so she helped me land mine with one hand then she reeled in hers but it was a double, 2 catfish, one on each hook. It was a fun 1 1/2 hrs of catching in 25 ft of water with the fish on the bottom. Shane and I will be going again soon. He had to retire early due to some new health issues . . . . so it helps him deal with this new challenge! 

It was fun to go to Melvin & Ira's Cross Country Meet on Thursday afternoon at the Foster Gulch golf course. Wow there was a big group this year!  They both seemed to enjoy it!  Amber and the other children came too. Al was away on a work assignment in western Wyoming.

Vicki reported Thursday,

 Hello family. This pic is of cozy last night. We are juggling today- mr micah had some hip surgery scheduled for today. Since they were in the valley,  they took cozy to her neurologist cuz shes not keeping much down. Her MRI showed more fluid where the brain collapse is. She'll have surgery this morning to drain the fluid and micahs surgery will be around noon. Poor kirena.

From kirena-- Thursday evening, 

Cozy looks so good :) awake- in zero pain, stats are great. She found her hands and is content ;) Dr said surgery went really good- they took off 120 cc's! Imaging tomorrow, then a follow-up in four weeks.  

Vicki reported Saturday evening that all was going well in the Vehr's Family.  Kirena, Micah, & Cozy had return to Logan.  Emerson would be staying with her for a few days! 

We love you all, hope you are having a great holiday weekend!      Mom & Dad
