Brinley Southwick

Brinley likes her Uncle Bill, but...


she loves her cousin Karl. She thinks she will marry him someday. I remember having a crush on some of my cousins, too.

Back to School

The summer break is finally over, and the kids are back into a routine!

My camera is broken, so I borrowed Alecia's. It seems to take yellow pictures that are blurry. So sad. I need a new camera.

Happy 19th Birthday, Kayla


My little girl turned 19. This was her first birthday away from us. Next time we see you, Kayla, the spanking machine will be ready!

Journal entry

I have been asked to give my spiritual history in Relief Society in September. That means I have to pull out my old journals because the old memory isn't that great. I pulled out my journal from 1983 to start with. This is what I found (it made me laugh):

6-11-1983 Saturday warm-windy

I didn't go out to the onions because we thought it was too wet. Dad came in and said it wasn't so Dad, Mom, Miles, and I went out in the early afternoon and did 8 rows for $4. Miles was complaining and came up with an idea. He said, "Let's put up a sign saying 'Help Wanted'." Dad had a better idea--"Child for Sale. Plays piano, complains, wears glue fingernails, etc." Nat and Miles have been making fingernails out of glue and have been wearing them.

Ah, glue fingernails. I remember them well.

Another audible sigh

I still don't have a camera.

Audible Sigh

We have had two fun family reunions, but I have no pictures to post because Bill broke my camera.

Fourth of July

Our fourth of July was a busy one with parades and a family reunion. Karl marched in two parades with the Davis High Marching Band.

Alecia marched in the Kaysville parade with the Farmington Junior High marching band.

Slot Canyons


Bill went with the teachers' quorum to some slot canyons in southern Utah.


Bill, being the size he is, had a difficult time squeezing through some of the slots. He took my camera with him. He put it in his front pocket. He did some squeezing through canyons.


He broke my camera, but not before he got some great pictures. Now we get no pictures. Sigh.
