Fast Sunday Family Fireside

On August 7th Mom gave the fireside. It was about her grandmother, Margaret Mariah Terry Mendenhall Cloward. We learned about the many places that Grandma Cloward lived in her life-time. I counted 28 places that she had lived. I read the story that Grandma wrote about the year they had Christmas in a stable. When I think about all that they went through just to make a living, and that they still had faith and raised a large family, it makes me very grateful for the heritage we have been blessed with.

After the lesson we enjoyed the many desserts that were served.

I hope that everyone will come to the Mendenhall Family reunion on September 2 in Payson to get to know more about this branch of our family!

Our next Fireside will be September 4th @6:30.

Kyle's saying 38+ words, sounds of a dog, horse, cow & duck. He says star and knows what a star is and is learning other shapes! My favorite is when I ask him to say grandma he says "mama".

Here is some late news-- Jared and I bought a house this year in February and moved in on April 1st! ( no kidding!)

It's my 25th birthday on August 19th:)

Love,

Keeley, Jared and Kyle

REUNION TIME!!

We'll see you all June 23-25, 2011 at Teton Valley Cabins!!

There are about 65 members of the Meldrum Family going to the reunion next week. It will be a great time to build family bonds and get reaquainted with more distant cousins.

Our Family is doing breakfast Friday morning with the Blad family. Bill and Paula have stuff for an Easter egg hunt, and Blads are organizing a program.

There will be lots of fun things to do together while we celebrate Halloween and do trick-or-treating (have a trick to do!), and a gift exchange for Christmas.

Plan on helping with the activities we have planned because you will be asked to help!

Come and have Fun with the Family!!!
