WE MET ON A BLIND DATE AND HAVE BEEN MARRIED SINCE 1980. WE HAVE 2 GROWN DAUGHTERS AND ALSO CLAIM THEIR HALF-BROTHER. ALL OF THEM ARE MARRIED. OUR DAUGHTERS HAVE GIVEN US 9 GRANDKIDS. BOTH RICK & I GREW UP IN MAGIC VALLEY. DIANE GREW UP ON A FARM IN HANSEN, IDAHO. RICK GREW UP IN THE TOWN OF BUHL, IDAHO. WE LIVE ABOUT 2 MILES OUT OF TOWN IN THE ORIGINAL FARM HOUSE OF THE AREA. (Many thanks given to my nephew's wife-Lyndsay-for preparing the background. She's very talented and apprecieated.)

I TRY TO PATTERN MY LIFE AFTER THIS.

13 th ARTICLE OF FAITH: We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we folllow the admonition of Paul---We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to do endure all things. If there is anything viruous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

 This is a HUGE post of lots of misc. picturesfrom the last 1/2 year or so.

This is Heather's daughter-"Bekha"
Softball   2010



"Bekha" at bat.

Heather's oldest son-Tyler
pitching in baseball-2010
He's good, but gets nervous.


Tyler loves to steal bases. 
Most of the time, he succeeds.


Tyler batting.  Often, he hits
 homeruns and is voted the
 most valuable player.
He has potential.
 
Heather's youngest son- Jacob.
It reminded Alan when we were growing up.

      Heather's kids did pretty good in baseball this summer.  I believe Bekha's team got 2nd place. It was kind of a surprise. Jacob's team is still too young to go very far, but improved a lot.  Tyler's team had a very good chance at getting first place.  They had gotten themselves in the tournament as one of the favorites.  Then, their coach got irritated (at the tournaments) and was thrown out of the game.  The boys went in a spiral downfall after that.
