80 Years Young

Jason's Grandma Kendall turned 80!

She couldn't believe it. She told her sister, "No way! I can't be 80!" Her older sister replied, "How do you think I feel?"

Grandma has dementia, so lives in an assisted living home. Her whole family surprised her with a birthday party - yes, she was VERY surprised!

Sigma Tau Delta 2013: Portland, Oregon

Jason had the fun opportunity to read a paper he wrote about how movies have turned dark since 9/11 for the National English Society. This year's location was Portland, Oregon. He loved every moment and we, as always, are proud to know him!

Powell's Bookstore was an amazing sight! Set on an entire city block, the amount and genre of literature appeared endless. A wonderland for English majors!

Got a Dog!

His name is Flash and is the sweetest! He is Great Dane-Border Collie. Elisha had been searching, and once we got serious, that was it. We checked out various shelters. We even almost got a small dog, but the shelter wasn't sure how that dog would do with kids. Because Animals Matter (BAM) had this cute dog, so we decided to drive out to his foster family in Dameron Valley to check him out. We took Flash on a walk, talked with the family (Mike and JennyDawn), and decided to take Flash home for a sleep over test drive.

Elisha has never had a dog because she's allergic to animal fur. Thus the sleepover a great idea! Flash was so gentle with the boys. When they cried, he licked their tears. When they ran, he trotted with them. He wanted to be with everyone and was so loving. Needless to say, Flash never went back to his Foster family. He is a Jones now, and we love him!
