Sunday 10/30/16 My Favorite Memory of Grandpa Russ
Every year or so we go to Bear lake with Dad's side of the family. And since we have a really big family me and Charity get to stay with Grandma Ruthie and Grandpa Russ. This certain year we were staying with them again. Well so we all woke up and Grandma had planned on making cinnamon rolls but she forgot some ingredients or something. Grandpa and I were just in there because Charity left. He asked me if I wanted to help him with somethin gand I said sure. He wanted me to help him make some french toast for breakfast. I had no idea how to but he said he would teach me. It was a lot of fun doing it with him, he would tell me how to do a step and then he'd have me do it for him :) He does this really cool thing (at least I thought it was cool) where he adds cinnamon into the egg mixture which makes it taste even better. It was really fun to stand there and make it with him while he told me stories about when he was a kid. And we got to talk even longer because I burnt the first batch :) And if I hadn't chosen to make it with him and definately wouldn't be as close with him as I am now And today I still use his exact recipe for french toast. I've always looked up to grandpa for always being patient with me and always loving me :) I love him so much and hope he gets better soon. He's always been so strong :)---- I've also always loved how whenever we go to their house for family home evening or holidays whenever we'd walk in the door he'd call us over and give us the biggest, squeezy hug ever! :)

The funest thing I did whith grampa was probably going fishing whith him when he caught a giant fish and gave me it and told me to put it in the water I put it in the water and it swam in between the rocks that we were standing on.

My favarite memory with grandpa russ is when we went on the bike ride and when we put the bikes in the trailer and got there dads tire was rubbing against the tire on the trailer so dads tire popped (exploded). So he had to run and erikas bike also had a flat tire so she had to run too. We rode our bikes to IHOP and there was tons of hills along the way so it was really hard to get there but it was worth it because it was way fun at IHOP and the waiter was so funny. When we left i swiched Erika and she used my bike and I ran. And on the way back I had to push grandpa up some of the hills and then we got home and then left.

Favorite memory of Grandpa Russ
I love grandpa so much! He has the most amazing smile and biggest heart. I know that he has such a strong relationship with HEavenly Father. One thing that I absolutely love about him is his great big bear hugs. He would always tell me tha the loves me. I love grandpa russ. It makes me sad to see him in such a difficult state. I love him and want him to get better soon. I love his jokes and his laugh. I just really love grandpa. I'm glad that he raised my dad so well. My dad loves his dad so much and I know he is hurting to see his dad like this. I do know that grandpa loves me and every one of his family members. I love him too. Love you grandpa!!
Kelly just reminded me of this great memory I have of him. The memory was a really long time ago. Grandma and Grandpa took Kelly and I with us to go and fix their bikes. While we were waiting, grandpa took us to one of these half-restaurant half-gas station things and bought Kelly and I a large orange cream milkshake. He is always so generous and we had so much fun talking and laughing with him.

Jack drew some scribbles on a few sheets of paper (yes, we've been through a small forest with all his letters) and told me that it said:
Grandpa read a story to me and Grandpa played basketball with me.
I had asked Bradley a while ago if he wanted to write about his ordination and passing the Sacrament, so he did that instead of writing about Grandpa. It was one of those rough Sundays for him and satan was working hard. It was nice to see the change that occurred when he took some time to think about his ordination. I think he got a little confused because he wrote them as if they happened on the same day :). But that's okay- we get the idea.
BRADLEY:
My first Sunday of being 12 was awesome I loved being twelve. It was a little hard though. LIke passing the sacrament I was #1 in passing. That means I served all the people on the stand and did the front right row. Then when we finish I go up and sit by the bishop. the next hour I went to Sunday school. There we went to opening excersises. I sat with dad. After the closing prayer we left and went to deacons qurom. We talked about testimonies. After that we went to the bishops office so I could get ordaned. It was so spiritual grandpa and grandma ruthie came. Simon and grandma came. Simon, grandpa russ and dad ordained me. After I ran off to do fast offerings. We only had one person answer and It was a lady who gave out candy. We promised we wouldn't eat any until we ended our fast. She took forever to write a check. Then I went home and talked w/ everyone.
