Ryan was HOME!!

March 19-24, 2009

It was GREAT!! Ryan flew in to SLC and Teona Ann and Grandpa Nelson picked him up at the airport. Teona Ann was the official driver, she drove up to Logan and picked up Grandpa and then back to airport for Ryan and then home to Bicknell. We had a great weekend. Ryan got to "PLAY"....lots of different ways...

.
with the neices and nephews.....playing house...Ryan liked the part when Laine put him down for a rest!

with Grandpa, Teona Ann and all of us looking at fish. (Laine ask him if he was going to church when he put his jacket on!! a little over dressed for looking at fish!) The weather was great and we just hung out outside....
cooking with Grandma Jensen...and with the kids...

.
checking out the ranch with Dad and Brandon. Brandon is showing him where they are going to build their home. Do you think they look like the "3 Musketeers"




playing the piano and letting his Mom sing along! Sharing his talents with the kids.....



picnic at Aldridge with the other Jensen's....


hiking up to the old cabin of Great Grandma Jensen (Curtis), Talmage kept asking him how come he could just jump over the creek and we had to find rocks to step on? He wished he had long legs like Uncle Ryan.


visiting with Grandpa Nelson....lots of stories to tell.....

of course, his "other" mother had to come for a visit, lots of good memories with the Hiskey's!





and then.....the inevitable good-byes! That's the part I don't deal well with....
but it just means it is time to start planning our trip to the Big Apple to see him.

Ok, tears are running down my face...I miss "us" and how things used to be! Ryan looks great and I am pretty sure he was the best dressed man in Wayne Co. I am so glad you all got to be together!! Love you all!

Tears are on the surface too! I have a lot of fond memories with Ryan...most of them out on the mountain. Ryan is a good guy and I am glad that he got to come home to his roots. You have a good family Richard and Teona. I don't hesitate to call you my second family!!
