Becky’s parents are in town this week and before they arrived, I met up with Becky and the girls at the Bass Pro Shop. Another word for that store in Man Heaven. It’s packed full of everything imaginable that men might like to do. They have an enormous fish tank that the girls and I LOVE to look at. Ugly fish that are in our lakes and streams, but cool to look at up close and personal. We had a good time and I loved holding Addison’s hand the whole time. She likes holding my hand and that makes her Grammy mighty happy. After seeing the fish, Becky had some returns to do and I got to go along to the Grapevine Mills Mall which is pretty amazing. It was fun to spend some time with the Mansfield Thiots minus Ricky. We missed you Ricky. This coming Thursday will be Ricky's golden birthday. He will turn 31 on the 31st! Can't wait to celebrate with you Rich!

Tatia and Jake had a photo shoot with some friends on Saturday afternoon. They were originally hoping to find some blue bonnets for the traditional Texas spring photo, but since most of them are by the side of the highway, it’s a little dangerous they opted for some of the beautiful spots in their apartment complex. Tatia goes for a walk each morning and has found some fun places that proved to be very photogenic. I was thrilled when I opened my e-mail this morning and Jake had taken a couple of cute pictures of Tatia at 35 weeks. I’m not prejudice at all, he he he, but she is one of the cutest pregnant ladies I know. Thanks Jake!

After a long week of work, Charlie spent Saturday all day in training for the Copes course. It’s an extensive training as you might imagine for a course with danger involved. What a sweet wife Mackenzie is to support Charlie in this endeavor. Being involved in Scouts is a big time commitment. I can testify to that. Next Sunday, April 3rd is going to be our little Keelie’s 3rd Birthday. Do you know it’s a Golden birthday when you turn the age that your birthday falls on? What a special day next Monday will be. We’ve had fun coordinating birthday shopping and I hope it all works out Keelie, get excited! Thank you Charlie and Mackenzie for your help.

This is both an exciting and stressful time for our Orem Thiot’s. Making changes and moves is not easy for sure. They are keeping their fingers crossed that an apartment of another couple may work out for them to live in this summer. The timing may be just right. Our fingers and toes are crossed for you. I over heard Pierce telling Dick on the phone the other night, that his department chooses one of the graduates to recognize at the graduation ceremony and that Pierce’s name was suggested as the super grad for his department. I am not surprised one bit. He is one super grad in my eyes too. Congratulations PJ!

Skyler and I finally were both available at the same time to have a telephone conversation last Monday. It was so fun to catch up with his exciting life and just plain hear his voice. I’m glad to report he is feeling better and is feeling like he is caught up from his illness. He said his teachers were very kind and understanding and helpful in giving him a bit of extra time to get things completed. Hooray for kindness! He has been enjoying the company of a cute gal named Kara. Like Stacy, Kara is from Arlington, Texas and is sure a darling gal. (we’ve seen videos from her work she does at BYU-TV.) Since she was a little girl she has wanted to be a LOT of different things from an astronaut to a mountain climber and figured that by majoring in Journalism, it’s the best of everything, you can experience them all through the spoken and written word. She has the cutest dimple in her cheek and looks like a fun gal.

Dick spoke in ward conference on Sunday about trying hard not to be sooooooooo busy. He said we all need to find time to be still and listen. He is trying to put that into practice in his life. (I’m not sure when) Our Stake had a fun activity last night for the young men. It was a missionary activity where they all came dressed like missionaries and had the opportunity to go out with our Elders from our stake and the two surrounding stakes. Dick said it was a mighty powerful group dressed in a sea of white and looked much like a miniature Missionary Training Center. Dick loved being there with them and then was able to also chaperone the Stake Dance when the young men returned and the young women were finished with the Young Women’s broadcast from Salt Lake. Dick loves the youth of our stake and especially our ward and so enjoys spending time with them. I wanted to share one of the brightest moments of my week. When I went to the mall with Becky and the girls, we stopped at a children’s store and they had the cutest Easter dresses I had ever seen. They even had matching handbags shaped like tulips to go with them. I nearly lost my mind and wanted to buy them. To entertain the girls while we hunted for sizes, I gave each of them a little purse to hold. Brooklyn took hers over to the accessory counter and filled it with bows, bracelets, necklaces, socks, everything you can imagine; probably over $100 in merchandise. When we got to the car she wanted to hold her purse. I handed it to her and she opened it and said, "Oh Grammy, this must be Addie's it's empty." I handed her the other one and when noticed it was empty she was so surprised. I told her she could fill it up with her own treasures when she got home. That put a smile on her face. What fun little girls are. I LOVE them! SLY Robynn
Today is my brother Ric's Birthday. I wanted to wish him an extra special one and tell you what a great man he is. He is one of my favorite people on the planet. Happy Birthday to you. I will be thinking about you all day long. Sure love ya!

Dick and Ricky were LUCKY enough to get a couple of tickets to the Stars Hockey game on Saturday night. They had a great time. I forgot to ask who won the game. I just asked if they had a good time. Becky’s parents are coming to Dallas on Wednesday of this week for a visit. It’s so fun to have Becky’s brother and his wife here as it gives them even MORE reasons to come. I know they are all looking forward to having them here. They are going to be amazed with Addison and her sweet speaking skills. She says so many things now and I love to listen to her talk. This was the first weekend in 3 that I haven’t seen those little girls. They were truly spoiling me with a weekly visit. I LOVED it and could totally get used to that.

Tatia and Jake are starting to feel settled into their new apartment. Moving is not easy or fun, but it is starting to feel worth it. They got LUCKY when a cute friend of ours came and helped Jake paint on Tuesday. She and her son arrived at 9:40 in the morning. At 1:11, Tatia called and said “They are DONE!” Kerith did the cutting in and all the outside edges and Jake was the amazing Roller guy. They made a really speedy team. They painted the living room a fabulous tan, an accent wall in the dining room orange, an light blue accent wall in the nursery, and a chocolate brown accent wall in the master bedroom. I can not believe what a difference 3 gallons of paint made to that little apartment. It turned it from an apartment into a home. Well done Tatia and Jake! You can take a video tour on Tatia's blog.

Friday night Charlie called home on his phone and we got LUCKY enough to do “face time” I hope that is what it is called, anyway, it’s when you can talk on the phone and see each other. It’s amazing. I was holding Keelie right on my lap and had the funnest visit with her. Baby Callum was snoozing away. Next time I hope he is awake so we can visit. Charlie walked us to the laundry room and we got to see the amazing new washing machine. I happen to LOVE laundry and so checking out their amazing washer was a highlight of my week. I asked Keelie if she had seen our GIANT sized full moon and unfortunately, it was cloudy and rainy at her house and we couldn’t see the moon together. Next time Keelie!

We got a phone call this evening from my sister Laurie who had her TV turned to BYU-TV and was LUCKY enough to see they were doing a story on the AD-Lab and the Pencil Award that some students had won. She was like, “That’s Pierce!” and called us to share the news. Pierce and Stacy are busier than ever finishing up school, and Stacy started her new job and trying to find a place to live in San Francisco for the summer for his internship. They’ve been looking on Craig’s list and hopefully the right place will be found soon. They head west the end of April. Good LUCK you two!

This afternoon I got a phone call from Brother Conrad, a member of our church and he was up in Fruit Heights, Utah at a missionary homecoming for his aunt and uncle who just returned from Germany on their mission. He was talking with a couple of other missionaries who had come to welcome this couple home after the meeting and introduced himself and said he was from Plano, Texas. One of the guys said, “Oh, do you know Skyler Thiot?” Brother Conrad was like “YES!!!” It was sure LUCKY to get a phone call related to Skyler since I have not heard from him all week.:( hint hint). Skyler T.O. phone home!

Today was ward conference for Plano 4th Ward. That means all of our stake counter parts come to the meetings and give us tips and suggestions on things we could change to have things work better. Dick was LUCKY enough to be invited to speak in Sacrament Meeting. This is his 4th year to do this and he just keeps getting better each year. He said he wasn’t nearly as nervous this year as he had in previous years. The Stake Primary ladies came and gave us some great ideas on some things we might try. I love those sweet ladies and it was fun to have them there. I was doing sharing time today which I love to do. It was all about President Monson, our sweet prophet. Let me see if I can remember some of the fun things we learned about him. He was born on August 21, 1927. That means he will turn 84 years old this summer. Something else is that he loves to fish and especially fly fishing. He loves pigeons and raises them and he LOVES visiting with older people in nursing homes. Whenever Sister Monson can’t find him, that is where he usually is in his spare time. He also loves to play basketball and was very good when he was young. He was made a bishop was he was 22 years old and was mission president at 36 years old in Canada. He loves to go to his families cabin up Provo Canyon. His book “To the Rescue” has over 150 pictures of him and his family and we got it for Christmas. I can’t wait to have a break and get to read every word. One of my favorite parts of the week was when my friends Linda and Jill went to Tatia’s with me and we helped her hang things up on her walls. She left her bedroom here at my house all decorated and now it looks mighty blank up stairs. I’m so glad they are in their own place and can now get their “nest” ready for a tiny little girl to join their family. Have a great week. SLY

March 15, 1911 was a very wonderful day in this world. One hundred years ago today, a little baby girl was born to Joseph Stephen Morris and his beautiful wife Alice Elvira Green Morris in Neely, Idaho. Othella Elaine Morris was the fifth baby girl born to this sweet family.
Every year on March 15th I love to spend the day thinking about her. You see, she grew up and married my Grandpa, Archie Brown and gave birth to my Mom, Glenys. My sweet Grandma didn't get to live on this earth near long enough. She passed away from a ruptured apendix when I was almost 4 years old. I do have some wonderful memories of her both of things I actually remember and of things I've been told about her. My very favorite and also my kids favorite sugar cookies are Grandma's recipe.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I was invited to lunch at my cousin Pamela's house. After lunch her little 4 year old Oliver asked if I would like to make cookies with him. You guessed it, we made Grandma Elaines famous Sugar cookies. While we made them, I loved telling Oliver the things I remember about Grandma. I loved her so very much.
It's a wonderful time in my life right now as I have been blessed with four little grandchildren and one more on the way in just a few weeks. Grandma called me Bobby and I loved that. I remember her always asking me what I would like to do when ever we were at her home. She knew how important it was for her little grandchildren to know that they were loved by her.
For the past 50 years of my life, she has been watching over me and the rest of her children, granchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren from heaven above. My sweet mom and I said just this morning that we think she had a hand in choosing the fun spirits that have joined our family. Grandma Elaine, I love you dearly and thank you for loving me. I can still feel your love.
Grandma's Sugar Cookies Recipe
Cream together
1 cup of Shortening or butter
2 cups of Sugar
2 eggs
Stir in
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla, put just a tiny bit behind both of your ears to remember Grandma
Alternate adding
1 cup of milk
5 cups of flour
Spoon onto your cookie sheets using a teaspoon or a cookie scooper.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Just until they are lightly, ever so lightly browned

Our Mansfield Thiot’s were the first to arrive for the Moving Party early Saturday morning. They left Mansfield at 7:30 to arrive here at 8:30 for the party. I had promised Ricky I would make cinnamon rolls and would save him some dough if he got here before they went in the oven. He timed it perfectly and enjoyed his two unbaked rolls, ummmm. He did mention a bit later that he thought they were still rising in his tummy and it was not too good of a feeling. I can only imagine. Ricky went with Jake to load up their things into the moving truck after picking up their bed and dresser and a few other things that were being stored here. Then the girls headed to the apartment to get a jump start on the moving team. Becky and Tatia got the shelves all cleaned and lined with shelf paper and got the kitchen put together and then the guys arrived and unloaded the moving truck. Brooklyn, Addison and I had a ball exploring Tatia’s new neighborhood. There are two ducks, who we named Mr. and Mrs. Mallard who live there and enjoy hot tubing and swimming. We loved watching them and ok chasing them just a little bit. The St. Patrick’s day parade was going on just down the road and we saw LOTS of Leprechauns going to and from the parade. We loved that a lot. Ricky and Becky, thank you for coming to help. Family is the very best! Brooklyn and Addison, thanks for letting me play with you.

Tatia has not been looking forward to the packing and moving part of getting their own apartment. I think she timed it very well. Jake had his first week of spring break while she was still teaching school. So he was the master mind on the packing. She would get home in time to encourage him to carry on. Jake did an excellent job of getting every thing ready for the moving party. He’s been to enough Elder’s quorum moving parties and has seen what a difference it makes when the moving people are prepared. They did great. They will spend tomorrow cleaning and then are hoping to be in their apartment Monday night. Tatia’s Thursday and Friday were tough days as she had to say good bye to all her little preschoolers who she has truly grown to love. We made little rice crispy bears and wrote on them, Miss Tatia is going to miss you BEARY much. They are going to miss her too. Many of them were sad to know she wouldn’t be back. She promised to bring little Penny to school to meet them before the year is over.

Dick had a fun visit with Charlie on Saturday night. Charlie was on his way home from a leadership training conference where Brother David Beck from the General Young Men’s Presidency had come to train several stakes young men’s leadership. Charlie is serving in the Young Men’s Presidency in his ward and was so lucky to get to go hear Brother Beck. He just raved about how encouraging he was to them and said how great it was to be taught at his feet. Mackenzie sent me some new pictures of our little California Grandkids this week. She knows how to put a smile on my face. Thanks Kenzie!

Stacy made a quick trip to Nebraska this week to meet the other employees of her new job and to receive some quick training. Pierce survived being home alone but was sure glad to have her back home safely. Pierce accepted an internship offer this week in San Francisco. He and Stacy are excited for the next adventure in their lives. Charlie’s family is excited to have them just a few hours away. I can’t wait to hear all the details Mr. Pierce! Congratulations Orem Thiot’s soon to be San Francisco Thiot’s!

I’m happy to report that Sky was able to get in to see the doctor last Tuesday and after taking a super antibiotic Z-Pack, he is feeling much better. Medicine is a good thing and doctors are surely a blessing from heaven. The only other piece of news I have on Skyler is that he got a hair cut this week. Congratulations Sky! I bet you are looking great!

Dick told me that all I ever tell you about him is how busy he is. I’m not telling a lie, he is. Early Thursday morning after we finished reading the last chapter in Mosiah in The Book of Mormon, I asked him if I could borrow him for 15 minutes. He was a little leery but agreed. I had bought some flower to plant in my pots out front and needed some help picking up all the rose bush branches I had trimmed the day before. I’m not sure our neighbors were too thrilled when he had the leaf blower going at 7:00 in the morning, but we worked a mighty work and a wonder. Things are looking better than they’ve looked all winter. Red geraniums can make me smile like nothing else. I’m going to concentrate and try to remember to water them and keep them alive for a few weeks at least, before it gets so hot that they are not longer happy. Thank you Dick for your help. You are a great workerman.
This may go down in history as one of the busiest weeks of my life. Each day was filled to the brim with good things to do. I’m hoping this week, which is spring break, might be a little less crazy busy and easier to enjoy. Sure love ya’ll, Robynn

Two little girls came and spent Saturday evening with Greypa and me. What fun that was to get to enjoy their company. Ricky and Becky had a double date with a good friend of Ricky’s from high school and his wife. They went to Chewy’s for fajitas and a good visit. Addison and Brooklyn entertained us all evening long. They are fun little women. We had to make a quick run to Hobby Lobby and Brooklyn found a BIG coloring book that she loved. Greypa had promised her a treat last week so this was a great find. We brought it home and had such fun coloring and putting stickers on the pages. Is there anything better than a new coloring book and a new box of crayons, and two darling granddaughters to color with? I don’t think so.

Tatia and Jake picked up their keys on Thursday and are now official apartment dwellers. Ok, not quite yet, they are hoping to paint a bit and then move in this coming weekend. Jake finished school on Friday and has two glorious weeks of spring break. Tatia finishes this Friday and is going to retire from teaching pre-school and stay home and get ready for little Penny to arrive. I was talking to Tatia today and told her I don’t know if I have ever seen anybody so excited to be a mommy and she said, “oh mom, I’ve waited a long time for this.” She is right and what a lucky little girl is going to come to Tatia and Jake. They took a couple of child birth classes this week and are starting to feel like this is real!

Have you ever wished that you could be somewhere else, really bad? Today was one of those days in my life. Our little Callum Jay was given a name and a blessing today in Carmichael, California. Dick and I would have loved to be there but it just wasn’t possible. In our ward today, a little baby boy was blessed. As I closed my eyes and listened to his daddy pronounce a beautiful name and blessing, I listened hard and could almost hear my Charlie doing the same thing for our little baby. It’s kind of a wonderful thing the way the church is organized into wards. We weren’t able to be there with Callum, but he is surrounded by a ward family who love him, just as this little Jayson who was blessed in our ward is surrounded by a warm family who love him. It still makes it hard for Grammy’s who want to be there. We love you Callum Jay Thiot and are so glad to have you in our family!

This has been a good week for Pierce and Stacy. The Utah ADDY awards were held on Thursday evening and Pierce came home with 3 awards. He was thrilled as were all of us for him. This is a stressful time, trying to finish up classes, and submit things to contests and continue to search for internships and potential jobs. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Pierce. I just know something wonderful is headed your way.

Skyler’s week has not been the best. He has had an awful cold and flu bug move into his body and take control. Oh, how I would love to be there and make him chicken soup and take care of him. It’s awful to be sick and away from home. I’m so sorry Sky, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We heard some good news on Saturday about Sky’s mission, New York New York South. Our former Stake President and his wife leave on Wednesday to serve a Church Educational System Mission there. I’m so excited for them to fall in love with what Sky calls the Greatest City in the World, New York City! I’m sure they will be a great help to the people there.

I sat down to type the Thiot Times, and Dick fell into bed and within 2 minutes, I could hear his snoring begin and he is sound asleep. I’m trying to type really quietly as to not disturb him. Sundays are not typically a day of rest for Bishops. He starts the day early and packs in a whole bunch of meetings and appointments and good times. It was our wards turn for a stake audit which makes even more fun on a Sunday afternoon. He’s a good sport and I haven’t heard him complain once. Sleep well Dick!
On Thursday, Tatia and I went to lunch at cousin Pamela, Oliver and Baby Miles home. We had such a fun visit and after lunch, Oliver invited me to make Grandma Elaine’s Sugar cookies. Oh my goodness, we had so much fun talking about her while we made her famous cookies. Oliver loved the part about how she loved the smell of vanilla and how she would put just a tiny bit behind her ears to make her smell DELICIOUS! Thank you Pamela and Oliver for inviting me over. I love you so very much and love getting to spend time with you.
When our Primary Presidency met this week, we had some fun ideas of things we wanted to do in Primary. I’ve had fun making a SPOT-light bag this week and doing our Primary Newsletter. It’s funny how things that you think might take 15 minutes, I can stretch into much longer. I’m not quite sure how that works, but I am surely slowing down.
Sunday evening, Tatia and Jake took us by their apartment for show and tell. It was so fun to see where the crib is going to go and where everything will fit. I’m sure it’s going to be a darling little home when they get all moved in. We are ready to help any way we can you two. Have a great week ya’ll! SLY Robynn
Two little girls came and spent Saturday evening with Greypa and me. What fun that was to get to enjoy their company. Ricky and Becky had a double date with a good friend of Ricky’s from high school and his wife. They went to Chewy’s for fajitas and a good visit. Addison and Brooklyn entertained us all evening long. They are fun little women. We had to make a quick run to Hobby Lobby and Brooklyn found a BIG coloring book that she loved. Greypa had promised her a treat last week so this was a great find. We brought it home and had such fun coloring and putting stickers on the pages. Is there anything better than a new coloring book and a new box of crayons, and two darling granddaughters to color with? I don’t think so.
Our Lovers Lane Granges
Tatia and Jake picked up their keys on Thursday and are now official apartment dwellers. Ok, not quite yet, they are hoping to paint a bit and then move in this coming weekend. Jake finished school on Friday and has two glorious weeks of spring break. Tatia finishes this Friday and is going to retire from teaching pre-school and stay home and get ready for little Penny to arrive. I was talking to Tatia today and told her I don’t know if I have ever seen anybody so excited to be a mommy and she said, “oh mom, I’ve waited a long time for this.” She is right and what a lucky little girl is going to come to Tatia and Jake. They took a couple of child birth classes this week and are starting to feel like this is real!
Our Carmichael Thiot’s
Have you ever wished that you could be somewhere else, really bad? Today was one of those days in my life. Our little Callum Jay was given a name and a blessing today in Carmichael, California. Dick and I would have loved to be there but it just wasn’t possible. In our ward today, a little baby boy was blessed. As I closed my eyes and listened to his daddy pronounce a beautiful name and blessing, I listened hard and could almost hear my Charlie doing the same thing for our little baby. It’s kind of a wonderful thing the way the church is organized into wards. We weren’t able to be there with Callum, but he is surrounded by a ward family who love him, just as this little Jayson who was blessed in our ward is surrounded by a warm family who love him. It still makes it hard for Grammy’s who want to be there. We love you Callum Jay Thiot and are so glad to have you in our family!
Our Orem Thiot’s
This has been a good week for Pierce and Stacy. The Utah ADDY awards were held on Thursday evening and Pierce came home with 3 awards. He was thrilled as were all of us for him. This is a stressful time, trying to finish up classes, and submit things to contests and continue to search for internships and potential jobs. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Pierce. I just know something wonderful is headed your way.
Our BYU Thiot
Skyler’s week has not been the best. He has had an awful cold and flu bug move into his body and take control. Oh, how I would love to be there and make him chicken soup and take care of him. It’s awful to be sick and away from home. I’m so sorry Sky, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We heard some good news on Saturday about Sky’s mission, New York New York South. Our former Stake President and his wife leave on Wednesday to serve a Church Educational System Mission there. I’m so excited for them to fall in love with what Sky calls the Greatest City in the World, New York City! I’m sure they will be a great help to the people there.
We Empty Nester Thiot’s
I sat down to type the Thiot Times, and Dick fell into bed and within 2 minutes, I could hear his snoring begin and he is sound asleep. I’m trying to type really quietly as to not disturb him. Sundays are not typically a day of rest for Bishops. He starts the day early and packs in a whole bunch of meetings and appointments and good times. It was our wards turn for a stake audit which makes even more fun on a Sunday afternoon. He’s a good sport and I haven’t heard him complain once. Sleep well Dick!
