Sizzler



I was in Salt Lake today and I drove past the Sizzler restaurant that my Dad and I always frequented for lunch.  I really miss him.  Grandpa Dennis loved Football, Basketball, and Baseball.    He would have loved to watch the kids play all their sports.  He would love to help Eric and Lisa hit the ball harder.  He would have loved to go shooting with them.  Wendy and I took the four day defensive handgun class again this year.  Grandpa Dennis would have loved to do this with us.  I feel fortunate that I was able to spend so much time with him growing up and that we were able to do some of those fun things, but at the same time I wish my kids would have the experience of going shooting with and fishing with their grandpa just like I did with mine.  My grandpa had a huge impact on me.  And Grandpa Dennis would have been so great with my kids.  







It never gets old when I see David or Eric sporting a mustache.

Update

Lisa- I have been having fun playing basketball with Lisa.  She loves playing and likes all of her teammates.
I like hanging out with Lisa.  She pretty much always likes to tag along with me no matter what I'm doing.  Last night I let her smoke meat with me. So every hour we went out into the rain and cold weather to put mesquite wood into the smoker.  She was very observant and was learning how little chief works.

Eric- Although Eric is usually wild and crazy, he has a fun loving side to him too.  He loves wrestling with me in the living room.  He is getting really good at shooting a .22 rifle.  He has fun just being outside.
David-We had family home evening today and he was in charge of the music.  I asked him what song he wanted to sing and he said something about wanting to sing the song about the man being punished.  I told him I didn't know what he was talking about, but Wendy does music time in primary so she and the kids knew.  So they started singing a song about the second article of faith.  I was laughing through the whole song.  I thought it was funny that David wanted to shift the attention from him and sing about someone else being punished for a change.  Then Lisa gave a nice lesson on being thankful.  At the end of the lesson she gave us all bags of microwave popcorn.  David then started joking about how she could give the popcorn to us but not him.  Then he stood up all concerned and asked Lisa if that popcorn was the popcorn she give him for his birthday, which was clear back in October.  How he remembers this stuff I have no idea.  Everyone thought he was hilarious.  All the kids are a hoot.  They are all fun but each has very different personalities.  All of the kids are at a really fun age right now.
Wendy- Wendy and her Dad made me this awesome speaker stand for my center speaker downstairs.  Wendy had her dad cut the would with his table saw. The workmanship is very nice, I was impressed she was able to do the work!
Dad- I'm having fun with everyone.  I have not gone on a rant lately and I think I should.  Maybe next time.
