Family history, I am doing it, my family history

There is nothing exciting right now but I thought I would report to all the Prigmore family descendants that I have made a new blog. It contains some histories and a few pictures. Once in a while I will try to add to it. I am rather technologically handicapped, so cut me a little slack. I hope others in the family will be able to add posts as well. Some of you might recognize the histories as I gave some out on CD two years ago. The address is: www.myprigmorefamily.blogspot.com.

Past Two Weeks

Updated Saturday, October 17th:

Robin called early the morning after we returned from Richfield. She was sick, the baby had kept them up two nights in a row, and Andrew was having a really rough time with his round of chemo. I showered and headed out in a storm...snow in the canyon and torrential rain on the freeway. It was 111 miles of white-knuckled driving. Andrew ended up in the hospital for three and a half days. He had surgery to remove the port due to clots and complications. I stayed to help out for six days. In the meantime, Jill and Brandon flew to Hawaii, and Reed stayed in Providence to take care of their four kids. I brought Katelyn back with me and we have all been staying at the Schvaneveldt's home. We have been going home while the kids are in school to take care of things such as yard and garden. We bottled spaghetti sauce with the last of our tomatoes. It has been cold...upper 20's or low 30's at night with highs in the mid-50's.

Here's some random pictures from the last week or two:

Ashlyn was invited to a birthday party for a girl across the street. The party-goers were to dress as princesses. It was fun to see the five-year olds all decked out in their outfits. Ashlyn came home with a princess crown, wand and mirror.

When Ashlyn was dressing for the party, Katelyn hurried to dress as a princess too. She was devastated that she was not able to go with Ashlyn. Poor Katelyn. Being a middle child with an older sister who gets to go to school every day, attend parties and go to the homes of friends is tough. Then there is a difficult baby sister who demands lots of attention and a daddy who is not feeling well. It is hard on a three year old. We have been giving her lots of attention.

At 4 1/2 months, Aubrey is growing despite puking all day long. She goes through a minimum of about five outfits, eight bibs, four receiving blankets and about six cloth diapers/burp rags each day. She still screams a lot but doesn't have to be held constantly. She doesn't sleep well so mom and dad are sleep-deprived. Thankfully, her happy times are more frequent and last a little longer. The items below help entertain Aubrey. I really like the bumbo.

We took Katelyn back to American Fork on Monday afternoon (Oct. 12th) after I attended DUP. We stayed two nights. Andrew had his 5th round of chemo through a pic line. He seemed to do much better. As I write this on Saturday night, he is staying in a cabin and hunting with a co-worker. While we were in AF we went to Orem to visit Conway and Pauleen Clayton, some of our missionary friends. The summary of my life the past while is this: 2 nights in Richfield, 1 night home, 6 nights at Robin's, 5 nights at Jill's, 1 night home and 2 nights at Robin's. Hopefully we are home for a while now. We had Courtney here last night and tonight while the rest of her family is in American Falls. We have been harvesting the rest of the garden, (digging probably a hundred pounds of carrots, making more pickled beets, chopping up and freezing green peppers for later use, putting the pumpkins on the porch etc.) edging and mowing the lawn, pulling up flowers, raking leaves, tilling the garden, storing the grill, planter pots etc. The weather has been nice for the past couple of days. We know it won't last forever so we went for a drive up Cub River Canyon.
