Grandpa Dan holds little Alexa!Dear Flake Family,
Fall should be soon approaching! We are anxiously awaiting cooler temps! We had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend and were happy to share it with many of you. Thanks to those of you who were able to visit with Danielle and Steve and meet baby Alexa while they were in Orem for the baby blessing. We enjoyed a nice picnic at Art and Apryl’s canyon lot on Sunday night. What a crowd! The pig handler’s even came. It is fun seeing all of the new babies and their parents who are taking good care of them.
So the pig wrestling was a hit! There must have been 20 plus pig wrestlers from the Flake family. The little kids did just as good as the older ones. That was a lot of work for the Troyer family but it was a lot of fun for the kids and spectators. Good job! My boys proudly wear their Ultimate Pig Wrestling T-shirts.
So we’ve all had colds since Labor Day. Maybe it was a touch of “swine flu” from those pigs! Dan is bidding on jobs and hoping to find some work. He and the boys are starting on our guest home in the back so it will be ready when momma wants to move in or when the economy busts even more and everybody moves in!
School is off to a great start! It is busy and hard but I really enjoy working with the high school kids. SEOP’s this week. Dawson is tearing it up at Dixie State. He was happy to get a 90 on his first math test. Justin is looking for work and hoping to soon be found to be a Utah resident so he can start college. Andrew is busy with cross country and is celebrating Homecoming at his school this week. He is on a Volleyball team competing this week during the festivities.
Alexa is getting bigger and is sure fun for the family. She is a sweetheart. Danielle has three more classes to take by BYU Independent Study so she can graduate. Steve is in his second year of dental school. Lindsey is tired of emailing, but she is still working hard. It is fun to start planning for her return.
Thanksgiving is being held in St. George and you are all invited! We have our church reserved and Lindsey is doing her homecoming that Sunday and Ben and Emy are blessing their new baby, little Darrell Gardner Flake. Hope you can make it!
It is fun to help Grandma with the newsletter because I get to be the first one to read your letters. Please keep them coming!
Love, Shelly, Dan and kids
