Dedication of the LDS Chapel in Othello.

As I check the date, it appears this dedication took place shortly after we left; however the building had been used before the dedication.  Gordon B. Hinckley, then an apostle, dedicating the building.  A picture of dad was included as a clerk in the first bishopric.  For the history of the church in Othello included in the program check here.

Thanksgiving 1986

This is the house in Hyrum.  However at this time it is the Buff home. 
The first picture is all the men.  Mark is in the picture, so back from his mission, and I assume married by this time.  Joey is on his dad's lap, then Buffy, Mark, Charlie, Aaron and Kelly.  Front row is Dustin with Weldon, I am holding Matt and then Jed.
the second picture has Linsey at Sara's lap, Amber on Connie's lap, Mom, Katherine behind, Sheri, Natalia on Sue's lap,  In the front is Geneve, Diane, Krista and Connie.

Thanksgiving: 1983

This is my mom and grand babies.  I can't place where this picture was taken.  That orange couch should be a give away.  This was the first year Sheri and I were married.  The grandkids are all there with the exception of Jed.  I can't seem to find him.  Linsey is the baby Buffy is holding.  Krista is holding Joey, Katherine is holding Amber.  Grandma has Matt on her lap.  He does not look happy.  Aaron and Dustin are on the left.

Ileen Wardle Family Reunion: Tulock Lake, Ca

This was a fun time.  We had a trampoline and boat provided by the Normans, and had a great time playing in the water and eating and playing games. I am not sure of the year, but probably early 2000's.

Thanksgiving: 1993

The celebration this year was at the Buff home again.  This time they were living in Tremonton.

The family has grown significantly.  I think is shortly after this we moved to Mom's church.

Thanksgiving 1984

This was a large family thanksgiving.  We continued to have these through the years, and eventually had to move to grandma's church they were so large.  This is an early year.  Sheri is pregnant with Billy Boy in this picture. 

Halloween 2009: Trevor's Funeral

Halloween 2013 was very unusual.  I had almost forgotten about it as we traveled to Utah for trevor's funeral.  He is Weldon's youngest and had passed away in a car accident.  However the evening after the funeral, we remembered halloween, although we had forgotten our costumes.  Amber and Shelly did take Tony out, even without a costume.  Some of Sara's grandkids also went; but they remembered their costumes.

Cover of "Fill the World with Love" from Goodbye Mr. Chips

This is a song I learned sophomore year at Sky View High School in Men's Chorus.  Stratford Loosli was the teacher, and all members of the chorus learned this song, and had the chance to sing it solo to the rest of the chorus.  It has stuck with me, and is now one of the songs I often sing when I am in the car alone.  It has kept me awake many nights driving across the Nevada desert. 
This song was vocalized by Petula Clark in the movie version of Goodbye Mr. Chips. 

Hush Little Baby Don't Say a Word

This is one of those songs I learned as a youth.  However I have always sung it wrong.  I use lyrics for this version, so it is definitely correct.  These are the Mother Goose lyrics.
