December News from Siovhan

Well, I figured I was probably old enough just to write one for myself. Especially because there's only so much my mom can make fun of my "harem." My mother's illusion of a harem has expanded this year. I still hang out with the two guys I got really close to last year, but at the same time I have a whole new apartment of guys that I hang out with. My roommates are so good this year, too. Heather, my roommate from last year, just moved back home. The other four roommates are such a blessing to me. They are all from Georgia and South Carolina, so it has bee quite the adventure teaching them how to drive in the snow. That duty has fallen upon me considering I got my license in a snow storm. They are wonderful, good girls and they try so hard to be considerate of each other and me. This semester has gone really well for me and I have done fairly well in school. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else for school, but at the same time I still get the occasional bout of homesickness. I am almost done with school and I can't wait to go home and see my family. I'm venturing getting my wisdom teeth out this break, as well as many other medical appointments so my mom jokes that it's more of a medical break than a vacation. That about sums up this month.

well every princess has her  k n i g h t

and i'm still in it for the fight 

THE FABULOUS FOUR + GRANDMA

November another month in the making and gone already. I guess you could say that we all have our little idiosyncrasies...(spelling?) Its Monday morning. Erin's school had a marathon to raise money for the hurricane Katrina kids back south. We pledged $.05 per lap and she was so proud that she ran 5 laps and made her school SOOOOO much money. Ahh to be young again and easily pleased.

We went down to the BYU and U of U game with Jim and Julie. I was disappointed that the football field was so small they make it look so big on the TV. Needless to say this was my first football game and I was inthralled for the first half of the game and then went to the car and took a nap for the second half of the game. David said I missed the best part of the game. I knew I should have slept for the first half and watched the second half. In the end I told Jim that I knew I had painted my nails red for a reason.

Donovin is trying to potty train and boy has that been exciting. He
swears there is a shark in the toilet.

Thanksgiving came and went and was thank gosh, drama free and very relaxing. We are hoping to make it to Nephi for christmas time and Myrna's birthday, we will be going to Encenada Mexico for New Years and I think my mom will be taking the kids to Nephi while we are gone to spend with the family.

We have been mulling over the idea of moving back up north for awhile to be closer to the ones that we love, but because I would lose my job this is not something that is possible much to our dislike and disappointment. It has been a long time since I have found a job that I have been able to keep and to lose it would be a sad sad thing
especially since they have been so good to me in working with my health and past substance issues and not fired me on the spot.

Me ands David and my mother are so Thankful that we have the understanding and support of all the family, and I hope that I can make up for some of my past indiscretions by continuing in my program and meetings.

I could not have married into a better family and asked for a better support team. This is a time for being thankful and in this letter I hope to do that.

Thank You Leonard and Myrna for being supportive and not judging me.
Thank You Todd and Amy for helping when you could and taking David hunting.
Thank You Ann Marie and Brandon for giving me advice and help in the fields of your expertise.
Thank You Eric and Amy for understanding what being sick is.
Thank You Jim and Julie for the help in all manner of ways even when you were hurting yourselves and not expecting anything in return, we WILL someday be able to repay the favors.
Thank You Kirsten and Jared for being fun and loving and giving David someone to talk to in his hour of need.
Thank You Melanie for your understanding and to your husband which I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet.
THANK YOU to all the Trauntvein Clan Children for being fun and happy and playing with and loving my kids.
May god bless each and everyone of you in your special ways and I hope that we see you soon.

WE LOVE YOU ALL! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

DAVID, ARBREE, ERIN, DONOVIN and BARBARA

Newsletter From Layton and The Runnin' Utes

This was the info for the November newsletter you sent out. See, I sent it to you on the 27th before we left.

Okay, I feel bad for not getting this in sooner. I really do. We were so good for a few months and then, well, who knows, we were not so good.

October was good month. Dane finished up football and soccer ended for all three older kids. We thought we would have more time to get “things” done. And here it is November and we still have lots of “things” to get done.

Dane and Toren were off track for a couple of weeks in October. Sorina was happy to have the boys home to play with. The weather held and it did not seem like October.

We worked on redoing our parking strip hill. It turned into a bigger project than we planned. However, it looks great and we are excited to see how the 200+ bulbs and plants turn out in the spring. We also moved a wild nectarine tree that had grown on the north side of our house to another part of the yard. We hope that it survives the move. We figure the kids must have discarded a seed. It’s nice to see the life cycle of nature in action.

The storm drain system is almost finished in our neighborhood, so you can actually drive right to our house without taking the scenic route. The plus side of all the construction was all the construction equipment we got to see up close.

Halloween was the highlight of the month for Sorina. She loves Halloween and candy. She was Minnie Mouse for trick-or-treating at Mom’s work and she was a Dora Princess on Halloween. Both times complete with high heel Snow White Princess slippers. We were blessed that Halloween was so warm that she could dress so lightly. Dane was Harry Potter, Toren was Policeman and Brigitta was a Fairy. Brigitta and her Dad made the skirt for her costume together.

That, folks is October in a small nutshell. 

This is your mother, begging!

Please, please, please send me your NOVEMBER newsletter 

news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the same week, please, please, please send me your DECEMBER newsletter 

news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to get it out at the first of the month. That way it can have 

Christmas greetings before Christmas is over.

Remember photos!

The Boltons Came to Ohio

Just a few photos from Thanksgiving.  I forgot to take a picture of the Thanksgiving Day spread.  It was all good food and good fun visiting.

 

We already miss having the family around--it was a boring night.

Merry Christmas from Heaven

This is from Kim Pitts. Merry Christmas!

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintry nights

I still share your hopes 
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you 
to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above all the crowd

Keep tring each moment
to stay in his grace
I came here before you
to help set your place

You don't have to be
perfect all the time
he forgives you the slip
If you continue the climb

To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still here beside you
in a new special way

I love you all dearly 
Now don't shead a tear 
I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year

Dad

Oh! Hi! Oh!

We went to Amy's doctor today. According to all we know, we were following up on a visit of 35weeks. I got talking to the Doctor and told her that I have thought all along that the due date is wrong. I  explained our calendar situation and the fact that I was in Ohio while Amy was in Utah. This makes it real easy for me to know a few critical things about the calendar that medical science will just have to take my word for and trust that I know what I am talking about.

Anyway, the doctor told us that if Amy goes into labor, based on the information we gave her, she will not try to stop the labor and she feels confident that the baby would be healthy and able to go home with us after the three days. She said that the earliest duedate she could make work using the charts is November 19 and the latest us December 4. Amy was slightly dilated and zero-percent effaced.

So, we don't know what to expect except that we know the baby is coming and sometime before December 9. I am kind of partial to November 26, but so are a few other people I know. We will keep you all informed. Either way, the little tax-write-off (yes, that is the only name we can agree on), will still make it in time to bear good news on our return.

Because of our uncertainty, the doctor scheduled one more sonogram for next week, on Wednesday morning at 8:30 am, so by the time most of you wake up; we will have some additional news. Of course, by the time you get this newsletter it is possible that the baby will be here. Amy sure would like that. You women know how uncomfortable the last month can be for sleeping and even just bending over sometimes.

It has been raining a little lately. We finally found homes for all the kittens and are back to two cats (one too many). The children all brought home their report cards and with the number of A's in the house, I am now broke. We had the parent-teacher conferences over the past couple of nights and the teachers have spoke nothing but good about our children and how they wished that more children were as polite and kind as ours. I was sure that they had our kids mixed up with other children until they began using their names. So, I guess it is true.

Tyler just signed up for basketball (2nd grade) and Emily signed up for Cheerleading. She is also taking a dance and gymnastics class as well. Michael surprised me and said that he wants to go to the wrestling meeting when they have it. For those who have not seen him lately, he really is filling out quite nicely for a young man. He was just called as the Deacon's quorum president, so that will be a change and a challenge for him.

All three love running around the neighborhood, having friends over the house and jumping on the
trampoline. Winter is approaching and that will change for a little while. Living in the East, we have a lot of trees here. When we were driving home from church on Sunday (15 miles one way), the wind was blowing and the trees were running down the road as though they had feet and were dancing. It really was a sight to behold.

We are a little behind on our reading challenge with the Book of Mormon. If we get through 8 chapters a week, we will still make it and we have finished Alma, so the rest is downhill from here. We are looking forward to having Mel, Howard and the children here for Thanksgiving. It will be good to have that opportunity to have them at our home

We love you all and pray for your success in the things of God. We will talk to you again at a later time.

The Old Folks At Home

This is thanksgiving month, not just because of the Thanksgiving holiday, but also because of my attitude. I am grateful to be alive! I am never going to be ready to die and leave this world. First of all, there are all of you, my loved ones, whom I enjoy. Then there is the beauty of the world. I was sitting in the sun, looking out the window for one of those brief but happy passing moments. The sun was warm, the sky was blue and the colored leaves were rustling in the breeze. It was truly breathtaking.

I am so thankful that I can enjoy the seasons of the year. Dad teased me when I said that to him. “Even the snow?” I admit I like it a lot more while I am inside looking outside. That isn’t quite true, however, because I do like to play in the snow I just don’t like to slog around in it.

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year and I so enjoy the colored leaves. Thanksgiving is actually the best holiday of the year because there is only the expectation of good food and good company.

Of course, I really like being outside in the flower gardens during the summer and I like having grandkids around during the long days. Children are always a bright note in life’s song.

The house is painted. I think it looks great. Dad’s shed has walls up but no roof. He is planning on building the trusses as he gets time during the next while. Then we will put them on. I will have a new bathroom downstairs but not in time for Thanksgiving. Like all building contractors, our plumber got a great big job that needs to be done on a time schedule. I am content to wait because it is a dream come true. It will have a shower in the back corner against the boy’s room and next to the dryer. The toilet and washbasin will follow the wall along the boy’s room. It is the same sort of pattern as is in the front bathroom upstairs.

Grandpa’s house is sold. It will be a month (maybe longer) before the money comes through. We also found out today that Grady, who is buying the house, wants us to go half on repairing a cast iron drain pipe in the basement that has split. We were selling the house as-is but he is uncomfortable with the pipe so I suppose it was the wise thing to do. Who know what it will cost, however. But it is nice to know the house is going to someone who will take care of it and to someone who also loved Grandpa. It has been heart-rending to go to the house and not have Grandpa there to visit. I took a lot of photos today of the inside of the house. It is not the same, because the people who made it a great place to visit are not there. Laurel and Cydney also took photos a few days ago so we will all have photos to share.

I am thankful for each one of you. I have finally begun to realize how wonderful it is to be with people who accept you as you are. I do know how extraordinary that is and I thank you all. Besides that, I LOVE each one of you. As Tiny Tim says in A Christmas Carol: “God bless us, everyone!”

You know, if I live long enough I might actually grow up.

Love Mom (and Dad)

The Visit Was Great!

The visit was great! It was, of course, too short. I think the game, since it was a barn-burner, must have been lots of fun. We did give the big kids some money for gas.

Julie watched the two little ones during game time. We went to the temple. She had lots of fun with them. They went to the Bean museum in Provo and petted a live turtle. They also saw a legless lizard, which looks like a snake but isn't. They then went to the BYU art museum and had ice cream at the creamery. They were excited that afternoon when we all got together again.

We sent you home some leftovers. I hope the pumpkin pie didn't get too mashed. I am not as great a cook as you are but, sometimes, it just is good to have something you didn't have to fix.

Donovin and Erin are more than precious. I enjoy every second with them. I think they are both going to be geniuses and contribute to the welfare of humankind. We should start keeping all of their creations so, when they are famous, we can show people how early they started. We can also brag that we changed their diapers. I am sure that made a difference, right?

Thanks for helping Erin write a letter to us. We so enjoyed it. We also appreciated the photo.

Erin got a cold. I think she got the same one Bree has. David was thinking that she may have gotten cold while she was with Julie but Julie assured me that they spent most of the time they were together inside one place or another.

Come up! You can take leftovers back to David. (Of course, if he is called out, he won't miss you, but if he isn't, he will.) Anyway, you are still invited. You are always invited because you are just part of my family and there is always heart room for you.

David said part of the reason he is working is because of the trip that Bree says they are still taking. If they are gone for New Year's Eve (and day), do you want to come here? We have fun, eat, play games, make noise at midnight. I would love to see you!

Your birthday is also in December, right? Is it the 16th or 18th? I hope you are planning on having a great birthday. You are younger than I am so the birthday should still be OK. I think I am going to do what my Dad claimed he did. I am going to subtract a year every birthday from now on out. Think it will work? I am the big 65 this year. 

Don't worry about the car payment check. David will send the car payment check up this week. He promised and he keeps his promises to me. They have good credit and payment history at the credit union. Bree reminded him, as they were leaving, that he had promised. She said he needed to take the time, right then, to go do it, but we don't have the same kind of bank here as the one they use. The bank is closed on Saturday and Sunday and there is an ATM charge if you are not using your own bank. I told him if he mailed a check on Monday I would have it by mid-week and that would make Judy happy.

I will be thinking about all of you this week and I will be missing you if you do not get here. The kids may not know it, but they are lucky to have you. I know the grandkids are lucky to have you but I think they know it. Thanks Grandma!

Love, Myrna

The Boston Baked Boltons

Sorry that this is later than it is supposed to be. Too many computer problems, not enough time in the  day....

Mikaela is preparing to participate in our Ward'sPrimary Program. She has a speaking part and has been practicing her part in the car, wherever we go. She loves being in Primary. We have some wonderful teachers, finally. Mikaela has had four Primary teachers this year alone. The teacher she has is moving in December, so it will be five teachers before the end of the year. I feel sorry for the ones that are turning eight. It is such and important time for them, they need the stability of good teachers. (Mel's on her soapbox.) Anyway, she also was given the "WOW Award" at school for being such a helper to everyone. Mikaela applied to be a Postal Carrier in her Elementary School, Brookside, and was hired. She will take the mail to all the classrooms and then return any mail from the teachers, to the office. She is so excited about the whole thing. She had to have a job interview and pass a spelling test to qualify. She loves her Principal, Ms. Kay and has had some good experiences with her. She is still taking gymnastics, but they changed the time for her lessons to Tuesdays, which makes it really interesting to get to all our events on Tuesdays.

Benjamin is wanting to try out for Lacrosse. He will have to miss the games, because they are on a Sunday, but he still is planning on being to all the practices. He is now in the computer club, the science fiction club and wants to be on the Lacrosse team. I tell him it seems like an odd mixture of talents. He reminds me that it doesn't matter what you do, you just need to enjoy what you are doing. He went on a scouting overnighter to Manadnock at the end of October. I was worried that he would be cold or he would wander off, like he is prone to do, so I made him dress in many layers, and take a whistle. I then made sure that I went over the rules of the buddy system, hugging trees, not wandering around, what do to if it is cold and you can't find shelter, etc. He then said, "Why don't you just come on this hike, that way you can make sure that I do everything that I am supposed to do?" I backed off a bit.

Braden attended the same hike. It tends to be that he hangs out with the scouts his age and was going to be sleeping with them as well, so I told him to keep an eye on Ben. (Which didn't make Ben any more happy with me.) Braden has been to Manadnock before and knew that it is warm at the base, cool at the mid-line and freezing at the summit. It was supposed to rain, so he was amply prepared. He even took an extra blanket. (He said it was for Ben, if he got cold, but we didn't tell Ben that.) They had a great time, and came home to rain and snow. Braden is still in the marching band and will be practicing with them until the end of November. The last home football game is on the 11th of November, after the Veteran's Day Parade. He is tired of marching in the cold and the rain and will be glad when he is just performing in Symphonic Band.

We don't hear as much from Siovhan now that she is feeling a little bit better. She was diagnosed with GERD and has been taking medication for it. It helps a little, but it isn't as effective as we would like it to be. She loves some of her classes and will be glad when her Stats class is over. She is still working as the Family Home Evening Grandma, and she helps out with some of the struggling Family Home Evening groups. Her roommate, Heather, recently went to Hawaii with her family, which made Siovhan long for a warm weather trip. We can't wait 'til next month to see her again. Howard stopped by and saw her on his way through the United States, after a trip from Australia. They went grocery shopping and Howard took her car for the night. She loves it when her parents commandeer her car.

Howard has been traveling. On this last trip he spent time with Andrew, touring the battle sites of D-Day. They did a lot of site seeing in the pouring rain, but they enjoyed what they saw. Andrew has become a photographer, so Howard was asking questions about lighting, settings, and overall photography questions. He wants to launch back into his hobby with a little more thought of what he is taking pictures of, how the light is affecting the shot, and what the subject matter looks like from different angles.

I am still working hard to keep the family glued together, no matter where they are or what they are doing. It is amazing how many things can break down when Howard goes on his trips. I am grateful for our membership in AAA this year. We have needed to have batteries jumped, cars towed and other help. I wasn't sure we would see the benefit of membership, but it has paid for itself four times over this year. I just wish they had something like if for household appliances, which are past their warranty.

The fall colors here have been beautiful. The snow that fell last weekend, and the rain this weekend, have pretty much pulled down all the leaves (much to the boys' sadness). New England is wonderful in the fall. The nights haven't been too cool, the furnace has come on a few times, but for the most part we are doing okay at beating the high oil prices. Hopefully we'll be able to hold off on ordering oil and will get it at a low price. $2.35/gallon for home heating oil was a little high to be paying!

We love you all. Happy Holidays!
Melanie and family

How Did It Go? From Barbara

From: "Barbara Anderson" <bander55@charter.net>

How was your visit? Aren't the little kids great? I love the big kids too, but those little ones are so special. Donovin is unbelievably smart. Erin is too, but not in the same way. It is going to be so much fun watching them develop.

I am really sorry David has to work on Thanksgiving. I was looking forward to getting out of this town for a while (yes, I was planning on coming). Maybe Bree and I and the kids ought to come up anyway. No, that would be mean.

Write me.

Love Barbara

Thanks, Todd, for Newsletter Photos

Thanks to those of you who sent your newsletter items. If you are going to
get it by Thanksgiving, the rest of you will need to get on the ball. It is
almost time for the December news and we are still working on November.
Those who sent November news did not send photos. Do you want to send some
posthaste? I am printing on Wednesday.

Todd and Amy may have a new baby by then and none of you will know when, why or how because we haven't got anything printed.

Love, Mom

David said he bought tires for the car when I asked him if I needed me to help make a car payment. I wouldn’t know that he was late except the credit union called and asked if I wanted to transfer some funds since I am co-signer. David said he did not need help but would be late because of the tires. I spent the first half of my married life juggling payments so I do not judge and understand. I also understand that tires for a needed vehicle might seem like the best option at the time.

For their anniversary present we are going to send them to the BYU game. We are paying for the gas, the tickets, and some treats for the game. Bree may not be the fan that David is but will, we were thinking, enjoy the time.

As for our talk, we all have to decide what is important in life and then do it. If Bree and the kids are important, then it is worth the sacrifice for David to continue to love through the bad as well as the good. It is also a two-way street. His little family is important to David. I told David that he and his family were also important to me and to Leonard. All of my family is important to me and I would do a great deal to have them be happy. Bree wants to be the person that she THINKS we want her to be. She has to know her own worth and value. We all do. I need to think that I have value and so do you.

Are we all willing to ALWAYS tell the truth, even when it is unpleasant. You can't judge someone else unless you can live that way yourself. I am not always willing to upset people by being honest. Sometimes I just avoid answering the question so that I don't have to upset anyone and don't have to lie. It is called avoidance. I think that is also dishonest.

David really loves Bree. We all do. I pray each day that all will be well for all those I love, and I do mean all. Each child, each spouse, each grandchild has great worth. You also have great worth. Hang in there. Grandma. Remember that I love you and that we are in this together. Who knew that being the parent of adults would be as interesting as being the parents of toddlers is?

Love, Myrna

Is this you, Garth?

Myrna: Is this you, Garth?

Garth: I dont rember the address but, yes, while I was in the Guard I was a member of this walking club. (We started it when we came back from Deseret Storm.) The Guard unit sponsored several walks around the area. Haven't done very much with them for several years. How did you happen to find this?
Myrna: I was trying to find a reference for the paper about walking clubs.

Questions for Barbara

Does Erin like the new school and has she adjusted to the change?

Is Bree going to get the money for selling all the homes? Did she make the sale completely or was it partially a company thing so that they will take the money and she won't get it? I have been hoping that the money will really come through for them.

In addition, I was wondering if you could open the newsletter from the Trauntvein family that I sent to you. Would you prefer a hard copy?

Love you, Myrna

Louise Edwards Nelson

Myrna, We spoke briefly at your father's funeral. I am Louise Edwards Nelson. My father was Vernon Edwards, your grandma Pitts' brother.

My father was killed in a farm accident when I was 16 years old. I am ashamed to realize recently that none of my children or my brothers children ever knew their grandfather Edwards, and never will know anything about him if I do not try to gather and put together something.

My father was always one to make sure that we kept in touch with family, but I am sorry to say that after he was killed we did not stay in close touch with his side of the family with the exception of brothers and sisters.

They tell me that you are the genelogist in your family and that you may have some information that I could use. I am hoping. What I am looking for is any information or stories about your grandmother Pitts family when she was young and the children were growing up out in the Uintah Basin. Anything that Tom Pitts may have written or told about their early marriage and freighting between Myton and Helper.

Your father was only nine years younger than my father. I know that they worked together as they got older and if you have any mention of my father there, or any stories of when they were kids, I would really appreciate hearing them.

Uncle Charles was 15 years younger that my dad so he knows nothing of my dad's childhood.

Please let me know if you might have anything that I could use in my father's history or if you know of anyone that might.

Thank You Louise Nelson lnelson@networld.com

Louise: I do have some things. I was wondering if you would mind being a bit patient with me. The sisters and I are trying to empty out Dad's house so that we can sell it. I think we are planning to be done somewhere around the first week of December. Give me a bit of time and I will get some things together for you.

Happy Thanksgiving from Auntie Eva Dixon

HAPPY THANKSGIVING  from me to you.
******************************************************
FIRST TIME TURKEY COOKER.

One year at Thanksgiving my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store. When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the oven.

When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird.

With a look of total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia, you've cooked a pregnant bird!"

At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry.

It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!
Author unidentified!

********************************************************************************

The turkey shot out of the oven and rocketed into the air,
it knocked every plate off the table and partly demolished a chair.

It ricocheted into a corner and burst with a deafening boom,
then splattered all over the kitchen, completely obscuring the room.

It stuck to the walls and the windows, it totally coated the floor,
there was turkey attached to the ceiling, where there'd never been turkey before.

It blanketed every appliance, it smeared every saucer and bowl,
there wasn't a way I could stop it, that turkey was out of control.

I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure, and thought with chagrin as I mopped,
that I'd never again stuff a turkey with popcorn that hadn't been popped.

***********************************************************************************************

Q: What happened to the turkey that got in a fight?
A: He got the stuffing knocked out of him!

Q: Why wouldn't the turkey eat any dessert?
A: He was stuffed!

Q: Why was the turkey made the drummer?
A: Because he had the drumsticks!

Q: When did the Pilgrims first say, "God Bless America"?
A: The first time they heard America sneeze.

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Gladys.
Gladys who?
Gladys Thanksgiving!!!

May your stuffing be tasty;
May your turkey be plump,
May your taters 'n gravy have nary a lump,
May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off of your thighs.
