Jule William Kreyling 1/5/1930 - 1/26/2012

My mom and dad. Dad passed away peacefully surrounded by family on 1/26/2012. He was the greatest man I have ever known. He inspired us all. I love you dad and I will miss you until we meet again.

My Dad My Hero

Birthdays!!!

It was Kaylee and Paul's birthday party day and after the party we went to the Olive Garden where Sam was working and had a nice dinner. Here is the photographic evidence of the event. It was a fun day for everyone.

A Sam-ism

" Dad, this relish nonsense is... nonsense."

Brother Rust

Paul Kreyling and Carl Rust

Paul catches Carl proposing to Morena. (I informed him that she was taken)

The Rusts minus Denise who was with their mom.

Paul and Orion Rust

It was a sad week for us as we learned of the passing of Brother (Al) Rust. For my brother Jule and I Brother Rust was like a second father. We spent a lot of time with the Rusts growing up in New Jersey and were always made to feel part of the family. We celebrate the life of this great man. The week also gave us a chance to get caught up with dear friends that we haven't seen in a long time.

FHE and Papusas with Friends

Abuela teaching the Walraths and Wrights how to make papusas. Then we sit down for a tasty dinner. Afterward we have a Family Home Evening.

Blogging with the Wrights

Brunching, blogging and sharing missionary stories with the Wrights. Their son Mckay and Barry are best friends and are both serving LDS missions. Paul showed Jojean the finer points of blogging.

As is our tradition we go over to Jamie and Linda's on Christmas Eve for Navajo Tacos, scones, Christmas Story, singing Christmas songs and games. Then on Christmas Day we all went to the Mandarin Buffet for dinner.

Kreyling/Yunker Christmas Dinner

The Kreyling Yunker gang at the Mandarin Buffet for Christmas Dinner. There were 38 family members present.

St. George Flood of 2010

They say the amount of water flow will be greater than the Flood of 2005 that was a 500 year flood. But the damage will be minimal in comparison because of fortifications of the riverbank after the last flood. In 2005 the flood made the national news and I believe 27 homes were destroyed.

And More Grass

One day short of four weeks since seeding...

More Grass

This is the backyard 2 weeks after putting grass seed down!! By spring there should be a nice lawn for the grandkids to play on.

Let there be Grass

Yes, so several months ago Janice and Jon helped me dig the ditches and put the sprinklers in. Then they helped spread the manure. Last week they were back as we put down seed and covered it with manure. After 8 days we have a grass sighting!

30th Wedding Anniversary

Yes it is our 30th wedding anniversary. We had shrimp and cocktail sauce and Morena's famous Chinese rice! On Saturday we are going to see the Blue Man Group in Las Vegas.

"Rotten Peaches, Rotting in the Sun"

Words from an Elton John song fit well with our trip to the stake farm in Hurricane where Morena and I picked about a kajillion peaches. There were many peaches rotting in the sun. Then Morena and Janice spent about 12 hours bottling them barely making a dent in the total. After Janice took a bunch home and Morena gave some to Mom and Linda we only have like half a kajillion left.

Trip to See the Grandkids

Morena and I went up to Enoch to visit Jon, Janice and the grandchildren on Friday and Saturday before school starts back up next week. Jon fixed my laptop. Thanks Jon! Janice made us some great meals. Thanks Jan. Kaylee sang us the ABC's. Thanks Kaylee and Regan pooped early morning when all were sleeping and Papa(Grandpa or me) got to change it. Thanks Regan. It was a great time. Kaylee is turning into quite the conversationalist.

Picking Samantha up in Las Vegas

I went to pick Sam up at the airport as she returned from her visit with Jack'ee. We left the airport at about 11:45PM MST and didn't get home until after 2:00AM. Sam helped keep me awake by talking to me all the way home about her trip, Jack'ee... It was a very good talk. It was a fun trip home. When I got home I was so wired I couldn't get to sleep until about 4:00AM.

Taking Sam to the Airport in Las Vegas

We took Samantha to Las Vegas for her flight to Phoenix where she will be spending several days with Jack'ee. We went to the Bellagio to see the Garden and then to the Venician to eat Italian. The we dropped Sam at the airport and Morena and I checked into our room at the Excaliber. When we checked in they offered us a free upgrade to a suite. The room was nearly as big as our first home! It was very nice as you can see from the pictures. You can also see Morena got carried away with the soap in the Jacuzzi tub. The next day we ate Vietnamese food at Treasure Island and then went to the Factory Outlet stores off of Charleston Blvd. It was a lot of fun.

Sunset on the Square

The city of St. George puts on a movie in the town square the second and fourth Friday's of the month. We went to see The Flyboys. It was filmed locally in St. George and surrounding areas. It was a good movie. Janice, Jon, Kaylee and Regan came down and we had an enjoyable evening.
