We survived the Bear Lake Retreat of 2013! We enjoyed the time together with the kids that was able to come.  We all got to the Harts house Friday night and enjoyed a game of minute to win it... Saturday was the beach outing with Ryan pulling his parents trailer down to the lake so we could all enjoy the comfort of the trailer when needed. Then it was off to Pickleville for the girls for the Theatre drama of 7 brides for 7 brothers. While the men enjoyed one on one with the kiddo's.

Another goal set... Hopefully posting pictures of my Progress will help me stick with my goal of losing some weight..  I have not been successful so far since I took this picture on Sept 30th..  250 lbs But then I didn't post it... Oct 30 I will take another one... then each month I will log my progress.   I have gained even since Sept with moving and grand baby's being born. Time to re-program...

Dave was able to finish his letter to Alex for his baptism book. ALEXANDER and the BIG DAY Get up Grandpa, get up and get ready, It’s time to go, and don’t call me Betty. Today’s the big day we’ve been waiting for, Come on and get up, get your pants off the floor. So Grandpa got up, got up to get ready, And said to Grandma, what’s wrong with Betty? I’m up and I’m ready and bright as an apple, I’m ready to go to Alex’s chapel. To see him Baptized and Confirmed by his Dad, This is the biggest day he ever has had. It’s bigger than teeth falling out of his head, It’s bigger than jumping on Grandmother’s bed, While she’s still asleep with dreams in her head. So off to the chapel we both were so ready, Grandpa and Grandma, whose name is not Betty. So Alex was splashed down under the water, He pinched on his nose while his Dad dunked him harder. Then Alex stood up, as wet as a fish, The kind Grandpa eats that tastes so delish. H...

Hi all, Dave and I are looking forward to our kids coming for a visit.  Sarah and Ryan and the Girls are coming down to St George this weekend.  Alex had his tonsils out so we will see if Jen and Ben and the boys can make it the weekend after.  We have our upcoming Bear Lake family get-to-gather in about a month...  Pickleville here comes the Condie girls!!!

OK... I just got a new computer yesterday so I can do some fun things that I want to do and one of those things is blogging...  I am planning on sharing some of my great recipes. And some fun things that we do as a family.... A couple of weeks ago Mike called and asked is Dad for one of his Elvis excuses... He had to talk in his ward on Fathers Day.  So this is what Dave sent him. Bishop (fill in the name), Please excuse my son, Michael Condie from speaking in sacrament meeting today.  He's recently been experiencing what his university professors have come to all "Animators Eyeball".  It's been we'll documented about that his malady is on the rise with the  upswing in the popularity of digital animation.  After prolonged periods of time looking at the digital display and making ridiculous caricatures of the real life objects the orbit of the eye can become restricted and pinched, presenting the illusion of the enlarged eyeball.  And if this is n...

Dave and I also got the Grand kids together (kind of we had the separate times and locations ) to celebrate Valentine's day. Here are some fun pictures. They all loved the balloons. It is hard to believe that we started our family 32 years ago. We welcomed Jennifer Feb 16 1980. We were living in an apt in the Salt Lake City avenues. What a joy she is even to this day. I think we can say we will keep her. We enjoyed a joint Birthday party this last Sunday for Jennifer and our 1 year old Granddaughter Reese. (Mike and Lindsay) She was Born February 24, 2011

New Goal of a Monthly Blog in the year of 2012 The Month of January is a clean out old files and finding lost treasures... One that was found was when the kids were young and had to have excuses for School. Dave had a way of writing these notes with some flair!! Example of one that I found... 02-10-05 WX Attendance Office, Yes, Yes, it is true that Stephanie Condie, 5 foot 6 inches tall, natural brown hair, and titillating to engage in conversation has been experiencing what we call "the worst of times", not altogether different from that day PEDRO had to miss school because his head was hot, so, GOSH, let the flippin girl back into school and be able to enjoy her tots because she's a normally healthy, if not charming, young lady whose parent's desire for her to return to WX and again become a solid citizen among her peers, and help her friends in need. She missed Tuesday and Wednesday of this week (LUCKY). Signed her Parents
