Welcome, Audrey is our 12th member.

Dear Family, 

     We send a warm welcome to Audrey Dean, our newest "family fun" member.  Audrey is the wife of Aaron Dean who is the son of Ken & Terry and grandson of Lynn & LaRaine.  Audrey & Aaron have 2 daughters & live in Alaska.  She was at our 1995 reunion with Ken & Terry. 

     We now have 12 members!  We're growing slowly but Audrey is the first of the

Dean clan to join so we have hope that others of the Dean & Allen family will join.  We

would love to see photos of their life in Alaska and older family photos & info they would like to share. I plan to add more Allen/Dean info & photos as soon as I can.  We are in the middle of haying season so I have been busy answering the phone from people wanting hay.  I've also been working on another "angel bear", this one for the family picnic raffle.

     I've been to two birthday parties lately.  Big sis Della turned 70 and her kids gave her a celebration at a park.  Lots of love there.  Then our grandson Rylee

turned seven and David gave him a party at a pizza place.  Lots of noise there. With

birthdays the same day as Rylee's were sis Betty and sis-in-law Wilma Mikesell.  Hope they all had a good day.  Family, please leave a message when you can to let us all

know how you're doing. If you have any problems adding to these pages, email me at

AGAIN-HAPPY JULY BIRTHDAYS

 

          

              A BEARLY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

 

Happy Birthday America

Hello everyone!

The 4th of July is just a couple of days away so I thought I would let you know about the Mirus Familly summer. 

Mitch is finishing up his coaching season for Ryan's high school hockey team.  It's a good thing he will be done in a couple of weeks since work at REI is picking up again.  The hockey team is in 2nd place right now.  We have a playoff game tonight and if we win the championship game is July 14.  We were invited to play against the deaf olympic team a couple of weeks ago and Mitch ended up in the emergency room at the end of the  game.  One of the players lost control of his stick and it flew over the bench and hit Mitch in the face.  He was unconsious for 45 seconds so they called the ambulance and made him go to the hospital.  He is fine and it just looked like he cut himself shaving.  Anyway the freak accident took our minds off our loss of the game.

Amy is working three jobs this summer to make money for her fall term.  She will be spending her fall term in Asia.  She leaves for Japan on August 29th and will take classes as well as sight see in Japan, Taiwan, China including Hong Kong, and then spend a few days in Hawaii before coming home for Thanksgiving.  She is really excited about the trip.  I'm not sure how I will do without seeing her for 3 months.

Ryan is playing hockey for his high school and also for two mens league teams.  He builds houses with Meticulus Builders during the day and plays hockey at night.  He still manages to see his friends too. 

Melissa got her drivers license and is out and about with her friends.  She picked up some job applications but has yet to fill them out.  She is attending a church camp in Michigan for a week and is looking forward to that.  She went last year and made new friends that she is excited about seeing again. 

I am spending most of my time in the garden.  It takes me over an hour to water all the flowers.  But I enjoy the color in the yard.  Keeping track of everyones schedules and laundry also keep me busy.  In my free time I enjoy reading and crocheting. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! We will be enjoying Batavia's fireworks as we do every year.  Take care and send a message.

Love you all, Jan

Ihope I found out how to put a message here

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I'm here.  It's Della Ann trying to figure out how to put a picture on here but not very sure of what to do.  Any way even if you can't see us, it's Grand daughter Sara and fellow graduate Chad and  I on Sara's 18th birthday.  I can't find the picture I just scanned yet but mebey someday.  I hope this finds everyone fine ,   Love to you all,  Della Ann

Our Beauties

Thelma as Harpo Marx one Halloween. Did she keep her mouth shut like Harpo?

Aren't we pretty?

The "Zoom In" Link has been replaced by the "Slideshow" link. The Slideshow is now where you can zoom in on all photos in the album you're viewing. After you open the Slideshow, use the "Settings" to choose how large you want photos to appear.

Happy Birthday to those born in JUNE.

 

Like our new look?

Hi family, 

     Hope you like our new look and can add your input easier.  If you have any problems please e-mail me at genigrandma@hotmail.com

     Boyd has been busy as usual, got a bad cut on his hand and believe it or not

 he went to the doctor.  It's healed fine now.

     We found out Rylee has the family allergies when he swelled up with

 mosquito (did I spell that right?) bites.  The doctor gave him a shot, but we

 have to spray him now before he goes out.  The misquitoes are really bad

here. School will soon be out so we hope warmer weather will help.

      I'm busy getting some things cleared out to give to Bev's yard sale.  I

amazing how our possessions multiply.  We have a big house but too little room

left.

     Thelma, Cynthia Kalkwarf's obit was in the paper Saturday.  She was 90

years old.  Della & I talked about her & Hank & their little grocery store on

Fifth & Lacy. Lot's of memories there.  Phyllis has 7 children and lives in

Sequim, WA.  I wondered what had happened to her. Henry "Hank" died in 1971.

     Sure would love to hear from all the family.  I  will try to keep this site

going even though very few family want to participate.  I'm tired of begging.

I'm having a little trouble so I hope this letter comes out o.k.  I love you all,

 Leslie
