March-2009

Just a little info about Lyle... Some of you may not know that Lyle had a quadruple bypass in November. It all started as a checkup and ended up in the hospital on Nov. 19th for surgery. We were very lucky and met the best doctors. Everything went great and he is back to work full time now. He still has a few issues but not any that hold him back much. We are truly grateful for the Lords guiding hand in our lives. We know that he helped us to find the right people and to be able to get thru it all. Anyway we just wanted to say thanks for the help from everyone.
One more thought---Lyle was released from being in the Stake Presidency for 8 years on the 1st of March. Their whole presidency was released. The President was sick and starting dialysis . So that is another chapter in his life that has changed. It's tough to stay home and not do anything when you have done meetings for the last twenty years every week. I am sure there is something out for him soon but it has been a change for him. He's kind-of invading my space, but I am learning to adjust...

Rootbeer Taste Test!

So we had a fun filled evening with root beer taste testing. And let me tell ya it was hilarious. We got the idea from the Butler family and Lorri Thomas' blog. So we had to try it out for ourselves. Gayle went and got all the root beer and was the official hander outer. While we tortured our bellies.


There was plenty of tasting and contemplating.......








And then there was plenty of burping!




And the winning brand was .............................................




Henry Weinhardt's! That was followed by a a couple of brands we would have never suspected. Big K, Big Fizz and a couple others that were the store's brand. So if we show up to a party with one of those brands, it's not because we are cheap it is because we know which ones taste the best!

SUPER PETE!!!!!!!

2 gold medals in one day!!! Haha!!!!

Rexburg had a tennis tournament for the 4th of July weekend and I played singles and mixed doubles with my friend Jeff. I won the singles bracket and we won the mixed doubles too!!! It was actually not a very big tournament so it was a little bit easier to win...haha! But it was a really fun weekend! I think I might wear my medals to church tomorrow!!
