GUESS WHAT I FOUND!!!!

Another week has gone by. I think everyone is in school or getting ready for school. Mom is beginning her annual job of calendaring and I just realized that August is over. It seems funny that this summer has gone so fast. I think it's because we didn't start summer until the end of June! I have another picture to share!

I found this going through some old photos! What a gang!!! Also it's HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAIGE!

She's changed a tad but she's still as cute as a button!!! HAPPY 21ST

IT'S BEEN A WHILE!!!

It's been awhile since I wrote, so I guess I'll sit down and write a few lines. Since I last wrote a couple of things have happened: 1. Tam and I went to see the Martin Harris Pagent in Clarkston 2) I was called to be an assistant temple coordinator.
We saw the Martin Harris Pagent and I wasn't too thrilled with it. I don't know why, probably just me. It's the first time I had been to see it. We stayed overnight in Logan at the Best Western Weston motel. That was really nice! Doug and Candis got us the room! The next morning we got up and ate breakfast at Angies and then decided to go see the movie, "The 17 Miracles." WOW!!!!! That was so awesome! Of course I cried all the way through it, but what a great film. If you haven't seen it---GO!!!! Then a week ago one of the Salt Lake Temple Matrons called me to be a shift assistant coordinator. I was shocked because I've only been working at the temple for a little over a year. I thought you would have at least 5 or 6 years under your belt before they had you do anything like that!
School is about to start for everyone.  I can't believe the summer has gone so fast! I think it's because we had such a short one. Half of June was spent with snow on the ground!! Yes folks, SNOW!!!!
By the way, today in Sunday School, Brother Mark Tuttle said he met my brother and knowing me was surprised that he was a nice fellow! I asked if he was alive and well, and he said yes! 
Well, I can't think of anything else! Oh---this year, because of budget cuts, we're giving calendars to the kids and grandkids only! It's amazing how much all the stuff costs, but at least every grandkid and their family and kid will receive a calendar! Oh well! Be good and keep your socks up!

TIME IS PASSING!

Dear Everyone!  I don't know if you received the news yet, but Aunt Jodie, Uncle Doug Wadsworth's wife, passed away last night in Logan. She was in a care center and everyone but Steve was with her when she passed away! Pat Wadsworth emailed me the news and said, "Just imagine the reunion going on the other side!" She was 98 years old! I am sure she is estatic and so is Uncle Doug! The funeral is not definitely set yet, but will be sometime this week.
It's a very small world. After the news about Neil's calling broke Tamara called me and told me that a Brother Tuttle from church headquarters was going to go and train Neil and others. Well, it turns out that Brother Mark Tuttle is in my ward. He's a neat guy!!!! I told him to say hello to Neil from me! I haven't talked to Rae Ann lately so I assume all of her family is doing great! Randy and Leisa's Chinese visitors will be leaving this Wednesday! I'll bet the girls had a real good time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON AUGUST 9TH, TO:

BAILEY MCMURDIE

MARY ALVAREZ

Well hope all is well with everyone! By the way, I told Mom about Neil and Tamara coming the last of Sept. for a couple of weeks, so plan on getting together at some point during their visit! Be good and keep your socks up!!!!

THIS PAST WEEK!!!

Howdy everyone! I would have posted on Sunday but we were having a small problem with our internet and I couldn't get any internet until later that day!!!! Anyway----well the big new is that Neil has a new Church calling! He is the Public Affairs Director for the Hartford Connecticut Temple and also on the committee of the Public Affairs, North America-Northeast area!  Pretty nifty, huh??? He'll be set apart by Elder Henry B. Eyring"s son Matthew Eyring  in the next couple of weeks! Way to go bro! Mom and the rest of the gang are very proud of you!!!!! They couldn't have picked a better man!!!!

Last Saturday was the Fred and Rachel Wadsworth reunion! It was held in Brigham City because the cabin is still very wet and muddy! Personally, I think we'll just get it dried out and the lawn cut and maybe the big cabin cleaned and then winter will be here! We've had so much moisture lately!!! Anyway the reunion was headed by the Tilleys and it was fun! Brent and Pat Wadsworth and Donna Wadsworth were there! Donnie came without Jean because she was hosting a reunion for her family. Good food and lots of visiting was done and it was fun! Roger Griffin couldn't make it but he said that his mother, Nancy Griffin, has cancer. Also we found out that Don Wadsworth had a very bad accident last Jan/Feb and almost lost his hand! He is just recovered enough to go back to work! From what Pat said, he's lucky to be alive!  I'm going to include some reunion pics.
By the way, I've changed the main picture because someone, not me, thought they looked toooooooooo ????  Well, all I have to say is that when you get as big as me----we'll talk! Anyway--I found this one and decided to try this one for a while! It occurred to me that we've not had one taken of just the children of Bill and Maxine McMurdie for a while, so maybe if you come out Neil! By the way Neil, Mom is afraid now that your new calling will keep you from coming out and the next time you come west will be to her funeral! Oh well, we do what we can! Everyone behave and keep your socks up!!!!!
