Well as most of you know, my brother and his family moved up to Casper and are staying with us until the can find a place. Here is Raely and baby Qwaniesha. Raely sure does love that baby. She follows Paula everywhere she goes with that baby just to try to get a glimpse of that baby. She loves kissing that baby too! One day she will make a great big sister.

Hi everyone. Well we have had some unusual weather for January. It has been in the 50's believe it or not. Raely is finally big enough to start enjoying her playground that we bought for her almost a year ago. She loves the slide. She really loves when her Dad holds her up high on the swing and lets her go. We hope that all is well and everyone is in good health. We love and miss you all!

Someone played to hard!

Well we made it back to Casper in one piece. That was one of the hardest weeks of my life. I just want to thank Mike and Jean with all the help with Raely. They watched her for some of the viewing and the funeral. On top of our tough week, Raely and I are pretty sick. I think with all of the stress, our immune system was down and that is how we got so sick. For all of our family and friends that we didn't get to visit, I am very sorry. Raely and I will be back to Vernal in two weeks and promise to see you then. My Grandma's funeral was very beautiful. It was so hard to know that I would never get to see her again, but it was nice to see her out of pain. My Grandpa is still in a little bit of shock. He does seem to get a little better every day though. I was just very happy that we could be there to help him through it.

We have some bad news. My Grandma Sperry passed away last night at about eight. It was very hard to see her go. She was an amazing woman and was such a big part of my life. At this point we are all still trying to find our way. She had a lot of family all around her when she passed. I don't think she knew just how many lives she touched. Her viewing will be Thursday and the funeral will be Friday. I don't know what I will do without her. I know that my life will never be the same without her. I am very thankful for the little family reunion that we did have at Thanksgiving. I know that meant the world to her. She will be missed!

Happy New Year! We had a very fun new year. We had some friends over for New Year's Eve and played some games. Our friends Tonya and Heath came all the way out from Vernal. We had a lot of fun with them. With the good news comes the bad. My Grandma was life flighted to Provo last night. They were only thinking that she had only a few days, but they have stabilized her. Thank you God.
