Mandy and Zac both have colds really bad.  Just when it's starting to get nice outside.  Yesterday I fell down our back stairs with Zac in my arms.  He hit his head against the cement wall.  We took him over to Dr. Martineau, and he said he was alright, but he sure gave me a scare.  I don't even remember thinking about me at the time, and boy now I'm really sore.  Both knees are really banged up, and also my elbow.  I love Browning.(I worked for LaRae Baird in Accounts Receivable, which is under the Cash Department run by Kevin Threadgold.)  Amanda is enrolled in swimming lessons at Clearfield, and she's doing really good.  Rog loves his job on the oil rig.  He's on a different crew now.  Cory Preece is the driller.  We got us a Kawasaki 3-wheeler.  It's really fun to ride.  Amanda loves it.  She giggles all the time she's riding it.  Joni got married May 1, 1982 to Kerry Porter. They are living in Milton.  They sure make a cute couple.  Amanda and Zachary are growing bigger everyday.  Amanda is talking a mile a minute, and Zac is walking around furniture.  I just wish they'd get better.(from their colds)  Also, this coming week, they will be changing babysitters.  Lynda Carter, Tom's wife, will start watching them.  She has a little girl Amanda's age and a little boy a few months younger than Zac.  We are trying to sell our camper so we can buy an older used trailer.  We haven't had much luck yet, although we've advertised in the Big Nickel and on Cable T.V.  I'm gonna put it in the Ogden Standard this week,  Also the Morgan Blab.

Yesterday, we bought a trailer!  I'm so excited. It's so pretty.  It's a 1960 Aljo. (pronounced AL-HO?)  It has a table directly to your right as you come in the side door, and then the kitchen counter and sink along the far wall.  The shower and bathroom is in the back right corner, and a couch with bunk bed above is along the side across from the bathroom and sink, and then the fridge is directly to your left as you come in the side door.  It has a light oak finish on the wood, and the color scheme is orange and yellow.  There's a big table and also an oven and stove top, double sink, running water, hot and cold, a shower, and a place for a porta potti.  A little dresser, and a couch with a bed above it.  (Sorta like a crib)  A heater, a stereo system (8-track), a refrigerator and freezer.  We are still trying to sell our camper.  Hopefully this weekend.
