Working With Dad




On Saturday Dan and I went to my parent's house to dig trenches for their sprinkler system in their back yard. Dan dug them out with BobCat and Revin thought that it was pretty awesome. He thought it was even better when he got to take a ride in it. On Monday Revin just suddenly learned a new thing. Right when he got up in the morning he went into our room and said plain as day "Where is daddy." He says it over and over and I have to say he went bye he's at work then he usually will keep asking until I finally call Dan on the phone and he can talk to him. Isn't it funny how they suddenly just pick up on things? He learns so many new litte phrases everyday.

Deer Hunt

On Monday evening of the hunt, Dan and Greg both got three point bucks! They shot them within thirty seconds of each other on the mountain before Little Creek. Go Dan! Bring on the Jerky!
p.s. Dan is on the right.

Memories

Grandpa Evans

My Grandpa Art Passed away on Wednesday October 15th . It was unexpected and I was shocked when I heard the news, I think that I just thought that he would live forever. He was 91 years old. I really loved my Granpa and thought that I had the funniest, greatest Grandpa in the world. He always made me laugh because he thought that he was so cute and clever and got such a kick out of himself. He was always calling people prince or princ"ass". When he would see me he would usually say "whats a crampin you?" He had a never ending list of words that he like to switch up like "boot reer", "bat rasstard", and he used to call me the "hong laired" girl. Usually the second he arrived somewhere he would say "well i'm goin".

Grandpa really liked my Dan because he appreciated a hard worker, and Dan definitely is that. After Dan and I got married his new saying when he would see me was "Where is Dan the Man?" He would call Revin little Dan, and even thought he didn't have a lot of strength because of his age, he would still always pick up Revin and sit him on his lap.

Grandpa was so supportive of everything that I or anyone in my family ever did. He made it to every blessing, baptism, sealing, everything. He was to every Rammette Review, Dance Review, or Clogging Review that I was ever in.

Grandpa was like a legend in Parowan because so many people knew him and loved him. He wasn't afraid to say what he was thinking even though sometimes he shouldn't have. I think that it was his goal to meet everyone in the world. I'll miss his crude jokes and sense of humor, but I will also miss hearing his awesome prayers and him sharing his testimony. He has been so good to my Grandma Evans while she struggles with her memory loss. He fixed her meals, tucked her in, and always had her by his side. He loved my Grandma so so much! I am grateful that he was able to have such a long, healthy, happy life. I will miss him so so much!

Goodbye to Adam



Adam was set-apart as a missionary on Tuesday and then afterwards we had a little get together at my parent's house to say goodbye. I didn't realize how emotional I was going to be. It is a comfort to know that he is going to the right place and doing the right thing at the right time. I think he will do just great. Revin loves Adam and always lays his head on his shoulder, so I am going to make sure he remembers him while he is gone. It is crazy because he is almost going to be 4 when Adam gets back!
