Baby Lyla Driggs



Lyla Driggs joined our family on March 31st. It was such a joy to be able to spend a week in Layton with Laurie, Ryan, Kimball (8) Cole (8) Ava (4) and new born Lyla. We get a peek every once in a while as we pass through Layton on our way to and from the Airport. On Mother's day weekend Kimball and Cole will be baptized and Lyla will be blessed. What a joyful time!


Kimball and Cole are now cub scouts. They were off to their first den meeting when this picture was taken - new uniforms!


Visit to Mesa

We had a great trip to Mesa to see family and friends. Each trip to AZ allows us to see our family in Layton which is an added bonus. We spent at least one afternoon and evening with each of the 3 families in the area and surely enjoyed the grandkids as well as our children. How grateful we are for family and the fortification that comes from time spent with them. We were grateful to return to bare countryside with little remains of snow. It's so refreshing to have spring finally here. There were even some green fields in the countryside as we traveled north.









Activities included:





  • Meals at Tia Rosa, Paradise Bakery, Crackers & Co., and Charltons besides an extended family dinner at Jarvis' and meals with Paul & David's families.


  • Pedicure and manicure



  • Celebration of Jacob's 15th Birthday


  • Goofy Golfing, Chucky Cheese games & pizza, ball game, track meet, and Beauty & the Beast performed by Mt. View High School with 2 daughters and 10 grandchildren.
  • Some shopping and best of all. - just being with and visiting with family & friends.
We didn't get around to everyone we would like to visit but had them in our hearts and saw some briefly. What a blessing to have so many to love. It was fun to spent time in our old home with Paul's family and have a sleepover at Dave's. A special thanks for all the love and hospitality.

Now the work begins to put together a new semester at the school and the church. Now that I've been released as an R.S. advisor, I will be attending the local ward and Bob will continue as second counselor in the student ward. It's fun to see the students returning, playing on the fields once again and anticipate what summer will hold.
