Where does the time go? It's been a whole month. We need to get back on a mission where we have more structure.

Paul went in for prostrate surgery on the 28th of January. He had it removed by robotics here at Intermountain Medical Center by Dr. Bishoff. He was out the next day and has been doing really well every since.


South Jordan has an ice pond next to the Library so we all went ice skating one Saturday. Kory and Katie joined us but couldn't get the boys to put on skates. Robbie had the most fun.

Kimberly and Gary went snowmobiling for five days and we went to babysit the kids. We had a great time with them. We also got a little snow and Mallorie was my great helper in cleaning off the driveway. We decided they have way too much driveway. Paul was laid up from his surgery so he missed out on the fun of snow removal.


We all (Katie, Tyler, Josh, Kelly, Rob, Robbie, Riley and me) went to the circus in South Jordan. We had such fun. I can't remember when I was last at a circus. It was really good. They had three motorcycles in one of those round balls all going at the same time. Incredible.

Kelly and Courtney celebrated their birthdays on February 4th. Kelly got to go bowling and a movie.

We had a mini Mission 2008 reunion in Provo at the home of Marge and Ray Pestanas. It was so fun to catch up with everyone on what they were doing. We were fortunate enough to have Pres. & Sister Jones with us. They were home on a short visit.

We were back to Kimberly's this last weekend. They went to Stanley snowmobiling this time. We got to Idaho just in time to go with Kimberly to her quilting class where we learned to make pillowcases.

Grandpa and I took the kids to the movies, Courtney was at Pomerelle skiing with the school ski club.


After the movies we drove over to Shoshone Falls to see if the water was running. It's really beautiful. By the time we got back into town it was snowing.

Bishop Hales called to see if we were doing our part in reaching the Ward goal of 2009 ordinances this year so I have been going to the temple quite often. Paul was able to go with me this morning and we did some initiatories. It's great to be back there together.

Dear Paul and Marjean,
Sorry to hear of Paul's surgery, but glad he's recovering well. Thanks for sharing -- it is always great to see pictures of you both.
Take care,
Joan

I googled Palmyra New York and your blog came up. Interesting enough I had a kidney stone just last week where Dr. Bischoff was my doctor. Small world. I was wondering if you could tell me who the mission president is in the Palmyra area and if he has an email address? My bishop suggested that I try this approach before contacting church headquarters.

Thanks so much!

Sorry to hear about Paul's surgery; I hope he is on the mend. It was nice to see the picture of Shosone Falls...you will have to look up my Julie next time you are in Twin Falls.

Oh Wow! Isn't that a big deal to have that surgery, Paul? Amazing you could be out of the hospital the next day! Sorry to hear that but hope you are healing well.
It looks like you are having some wonderful times with family and friends up in the snow. Miss you here in Camarillo.
Love, Debi and John
