Kyle's Mission Call

2009-05-08T08:34:00.001-07:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that Kyle Hymas, (son of Troy and Mindi Hymas, grandson of Clarence Beal), got his mission call to the Ecuador, Quito mission! He leaves Sept. 2. Kyle is so excited! He couldn't have wished for a better call. So now it is work, work, work until then! We are so excited for him, and are already planning our trip down there to pick him up in two years! :) We will see everyone next month!

A MESSAGE FROM NELDA

At last I got my E Mail working. Things are coming along much better now, Leon is walking just caring his cane, that's in case he needs it. I'm expecting four greatgrandchildren by Sept, Three are girls and we don't know what the fourth one is yet. Isn't that going to be fun? All my children are doing pretty good . Rodney is having his problems and still waiting for a kidney, He's not on the waiting list because they thought he had heart problems, but they have that taken care of now so hope he'll get on the waiting list. Won't be long until the reunion so if you need any thing for the treasure hunt, fish pond, crafts or etc. let me know. If I don't hear from you before I order, around the middle of May, I'll just order something.

Hi Everybody..
It's good that some are putting news on the Beal Blogg. I really
enjoy reading them. We are doing good. The work is progressing well.
we have baptized s girl, age 25 and what a transformation she has
made. It's so wonderful to see how lives change when they accept and
live the Gospel of Christ. We are teaching six others and are hoping
they will get baptized soon.
We had a wonderful surprise when Jason and Nikki brought their family
down the week before Easter. Nikki was recuperating from an
appendicitis operation and Jason took a couple days off. They now
have five kids in their family. They have taken two little girls age
four and eight that their parents don't want the responsibility for.
I really admire them for doing it, there are so many kids that have
dysfunctional families. Drew, Jase and Ryli are so good to them. Nikki
has them in cheer leading, and gymnastics to boost their self esteem
and it's working well.
It snowed six inches the Saturday they were here, but we all had a
good time. I took them to a little store in Nucla and let each of
them buy stuff (junk) to entertain them. My wall is partly covered
with the pictures they colored for us. We sure miss our family.
Jason and Bryce have been digging a water line and laying pipe for
circles (four of them) for Brent's farm (Brent is the Nephew that we
sold most of our farm too) they are also going to take it down to our
pastures on the river bottom.
Bryce stopped in on his way to Louisiana to a directional drilling
job he was on in March..it was exciting to have him for a few hours.
Work has really slowed down in the Basin since your president shut
down most all the oil drilling.??? He's scary!!!
Hope all is well with all of you and yours. Just wish we were going
to be at the reunion, it's going to be hard not to be there for us. We
hope you like the new area and will have it next year so we can see
what it is like also.
Love to all of you.
Elder and Sister Gilbert (LeGrand and Nancy).

We have another grandbaby. Daniel and Katie had their first, a girl. Emilie weighed in at 9 pounds 4 ounces, 21 inches long. Born April 6. AND of course she is darling. Daniel and Katie are presently in the DC area training for their next assignment, Indonesia. Daniel is learning the language and Katie is attending classes as much as new baby allows. They will be leaving in August sometime.

Allen moved his family to the DC area in March. He was offered a job he just couldn't refuse. He is working for a company that does intellegence contracts for the government. He's going to Iraq the end of this month for 2-3 months to do some training. He'll be living on camp Freedom able to enjoy all the amenities that offers. I think he will be the one that takes the gathered intellengence and writes the report that will be submitted to the Army or whomever. He is way excited. Kris and the kids are enjoying the area and all it has to offer, things like green trees, green grass, rain, flowers...you get the idea.

Richard and I are heading out that way to see the new baby and the other grandkids and oh yes visit with their parents a bit.

More pix from the weekend in Spring Creek with Janis and Danny.

2009-04-11T15:28:00.000-07:00

This is Danny just showing us his "golfing moves" when we were visiting Janis and Danny in Spring Creek on April 4th. We had a great time, just Dale and Cara went, we left kids and dogs home since Jordan had to work. It was very cold but the sun was partly out. Janis fixed a nice Turkey dinner which was awesome, and Donny and Cindy came over for a short time before heading to work.

2009-04-05T15:46:00.000-07:00

Hi Bealbollgers.....

It,s been a long time sense any one are my self has written any news..We're all doing OK,still here in good old Nevada.. Dale and Cara were here this week end. We really did enjoy having them come to visit us. Rikki went back to vernal in Feb,so she will be finishing school out there, so instead of driving 4 miles to her graduation we will be driving 400 miles.

Hey all you BEAL BLOGGERS.

I haven't seen any updates on this blog. If you need the sign on password information
please email me at dcstreet8@yahoo.com (Cara and Dale) and I will give you the info.
I would like to hear about how all you guys are doing. K.

I do know that Janis has 2 new grand kids and we would love to see some pix or have
some info on those.

Not much to update in our fam, just the norm. Dale has been working in SLC and we
are just down here in paradise enjoying winter in St. George. We do see the sun every day. I think we had just 2 days this entire winter that we didn't see the sun. So we love it. But
hate that Dale is working out of town. Landon got to come down for a couple of days after Christmas which was nice. We got to talk to Skyler on the phone on Christmas so that was great to. Cam is in 9th grade and Jordan is still unemployed. Looking for work.....
So that's about it for us.

So everyone update us. Soon.

Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you to those who are blogging on this site, it is great to catch up with all of you, so keep blogging and hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, as we are all thankful for so many things. Not much happening at our house, but Dale is headed up north to go work in SLC starting next week. He will be staying in a trailer and coming home on the weekends, so it will be a lot of driving, but we are thankful he has a job in this economy.

We did go and see a movie this past weekend with some friends, it was called "Fireproof" if it is playing in your area go see it, if it isn't, I think it will be out on DVD in a month or so, I totally recommend seeing it, really it has very good lessons in it and is a great movie.

So thanks again to all of you Beal family, and keep us up on all the happenings of your lives, even if it's big or small, we like to hear about it. And those who haven't blogged yet, we hope to see something soon.

Love ya all
Dale and Cara Street

Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving!!

2008-11-26T06:30:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! I thought I would update you all on grandma (Nelda) and Leon. Leon is back in the Basin staying under the close eye of his doctor. He gets to go home to grandma's for a couple hours on Thanksgiving! I think everyone is excited to have him home for a bit. On December 10 Leon will get his cast off. Then he will start a 6 week therapy session where he will learn to walk again. It will be a painful process so please pray for him!

This blog is wonderful! So everyone keep posting!!

Tina

Hi everybody, Sun. Nov 9th from Nancy & LeGrand

2008-11-09T20:07:00.000-08:00

Hi everybody, Sun. Nov 9th

I finally got Internet for my computer...We have been here in Redvale Co. for over 2 months. we really like it here...it's so much like home. We are out in the country (ten miles to the church and store) We have mountains all around us. It's beautiful on the east end near Telluride, but much like fruitland on the west end with lots of ceder trees and rocks. Our mission is 75 miles long and we do a lot of traveling. We drive to Montrose every week to District meetings (it takes 1 1/2 hours each way. but it is a very beautiful drive along the San Juan Mountains and San Miguel river.

We are continuely running into people that we know or they know some one we know. I even found a second cousin, Tam DeMile. He is the second counsler in the Branch Presidency. He G Grand father is Freeborn DeMille and that is ours also. He is a very likable guy and rather good looking ...of course!!

We have a Cole Checketts that is in the Branch that worked with Diane and Darrens Dustin in the Meat plant when he was going to school in Logan...He sure thought Dustin was a good kid. It was good to run onto Dustin in the Mission home. Sounds like he is having some experiences he could do without in his mission.

Our Mission is to activate the inactive, and believe me there are a lot of them here. we have 8 going to church so far, some hadn't been there in years. we are teaching a family of five now, and that is excieting. I like it when we are busy, but some times we aren't and that hard for me.

I talked to Nelda tonight and she said Leon is coming along. He has casts from his hips to his ankles and can only sit up with his legs out straight. he is hoping he will be able to walk in three more weeks, but may take longer. they are really hopeing that the transplant knee caps work...if they don't she didn't know what will happen. She comes home on week ends, He is in a rehabilation place in SLC. His children are there and they take care of him on week ends. It's pretty rough for both of them.

Our son Dean, and his family are in Orlalndo today in Disney World and will leave tomarrow on a Cruise to the Bahams for a week. We just talked to him and it sounds like they are having a lot of fun...there are 14 of them (some are friends).

I hope this makes it on the Blob...I had a hard time finding how to put it on....

Love to all....Elder and Sister Gilbert

From Marsha:

We're anxiously waiting for Daniel and Katie to come home, they'll be here in two weeks, unfortunately they will only be here for two weeks but we should get to see them in DC when the baby comes......it's a girl, by the way!!!

Becca is doing well on her mission. She is in the field in a town called Mattoon. She and her trainer opened a new area which should be challenging and fun.

The weather is really nice in Tucson, any of you Northerners wanna come South? you're always welcome at the Phlodge.

Love you all,
Marsha

From Nelda via a letter to Marsha:
Leon had his forth surgery Tuesday the 30th, out in the IHC Hospital in Salt Lake. Each knee has been operated on three times. This time they put a doner knee caps in. He is realy having a rough time right now. I was staying with hnime, day and night because the doctor said lhe would be a lot better if he could see someone he knew when he comes out of it. It's been hard because he can't sleep. I came hme Friday night after being up for three nights. His children come after work so I can go shower and clean up. They are with hims this weekend and probably every weekend so I can come home. We are trying to get him in Health south, which is half way between a hospital and a care center for 30 days. But right now he is to bad to go there. He will be interviewed again Monday land I hope he will be good enough that they will take him. The doctor says lhe will be six months getting back on his feet. He may never walk again. We are hoping at least he can walk with a cane or a walker. Lots of prayers and faith will heal him

Everything else is fine. I'd just like to stay home a while. I went to the Jazz game las Wednesday with Tina. They beat Denver by one point. The opening was so great. They had all kinds of fire works and a flag that covered the gym floor help by the service men and women. Something to see.

Love,
Nelda

Hey all you Beals

2008-10-23T18:55:00.000-07:00

Ok........So it's time to get blogging. You can all start writing on this blog whenever you want and the sooner the better. We want updates on your families, and we want to see some pix. Some old pix, new pix, pix of you the dog, the cat the goat, whatever. Even pix of previous reunions would be awesome. So everybody dig them out and get them on this blog. If your pix are not digital you can take some to any Walmart or other stores, and they can scan them in and put them on a CD then you can attach them to this blog. Yeah!! How easy is that. They aren't expensive to do that to. So get crackn. So I'm starting out with some pix we found so enjoy these for a spell.

See you on the blog.

HI Marsha,Well.... we didn't get any newsletters and didn't know anything about them until Janis came here last week and she had thought we were getting them. So sorry we didn't write anything. Here is an update for now. I will send some pix later. So in reading about Nelda's nose surgery, just wondering if she had Nasal reconstruction. Dale had that Deviated Septum surgery last April and it wasn't pleasant. But sorry to hear about Leon's knee problems, wholly COW! That sounds horrible!! Anyway, we did get to have Landon come home from his Mission in Argentina. He came home on Sept 9th after a 28 hour flight and lay over airplane adventure. At least nothing went wrong. He came down to St. George and visited for 2 weeks, it was AWESOME. Loved having him here, it's always nice when the kids come home for a spell. Anyway, not sure what he is doing but I think going to school up north to finish his quarter credit or something, and he is now looking for a car to buy. Skyler left 6 months ago to Chile on his Mish so you can write to him if you would like to. We write every Sunday night and he reads the letters on Monday. He struggled at first, he got mugged the first week, and got sick a few times, but is doing better now. The rest of the family is just doing the normal. Dale is working for Red Canyon and I (Cara) am working at Bluff Street Auto Brokers in St. George. Jordan is working at Stephen Wade Power Sports. We are awaiting for the arrival of our hot tub, so we can sit in it all winter. So if anyone comes to visit bring your suit. Cameron is in 9th grade and goes to Dixie Middle School. Well that's about it for now. I will email some pix. If you have a facebook, you can link up to ours and Landon and Skyler's, and Jordans. Skyler's email on his mission is skyler.street@myldsmail.net, and Landon's is ridesyamah2@gmail.com So send emails or whatever. Hope to hear from you.

Max and Joyce Fisher Family:

Max and Joyce really enjoyed having Marsha and Becca visit for a few days before Becca went into the MTC. Max's Aunt Mabel passed away the following week and he and Joyce went to Modesto, California to the funeral. On the way home they went over Sonora Pass and Joyce recommends it to anyone passing that way; it is beautiful. Let's just give a little information on each of the kids starting with the oldest. Diane is still working at the school, but she has found a new pass time and you can usually find her walking 4 miles a day or riding her bike. Darren is still at EA Miller, but he and Dan still found time to go to Malad for the annual hunting trip. This year Austin(Dan's boy) was the lucky companion. The first night and day of the hunt was fine but on Friday Oct. 10 a terrible storm hit and literally tried to blow them off of the mountain. At 2:00 am they had to get up, get dressed, and try to keep the tent from blowing away with them in it. It was a long night. Daci, Cory, and Gavyn are still in Layton and she is expecting a new baby. Ashley, Shawn, and Preston are living in Roosevelt and Shawn is working in the oilfield. Dustin is now out of the MTC and serving in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Address: Elder Dustin Max OlsenNew Mexico, Albuquerque4400 Presidents Dr. Neste EAlbuquerque, New Mexico 87109Tori is a Senior and very busy. She still loves volleyball and is having a great season. Eddie and Cassandra are happily settled in Preston, Idaho in their new home. They host a lot of family get-togethers and everyone is enjoying living alot closer to each other. Eddie is working for Wheeler Machinery and Cassandra is working at USU. Reggie, Camille and Ashten are living in Magna and have purchased their first home. Dexter is at Dixie College in St. George, Utah and doing great. He is going to be enjoying that incredible weather this winter while the rest of the family is freezing. Colton is a Junior this year and playing on the football team at Preston. Dan is still a technician at Suburban and between that and the hotel is always dashing here and there. Tam is still keeping an eye on the hotel but really enjoys working with the family and the grandma's. Joyce works at the hotel with Tam, but we really know she comes to play with baby Lindsay. Rachel is at BYU-I again this year as a Music Ed. Major. She comes home to see the family and they really miss her. The girls went up to Mother's weekend at BYU-I this last weekend and they had a blast. Sarah is a Sophomore and sooo busy. She is running on the cross-country team and acting in the high school musical 'Oklahoma'. She is Gurty. Austin is a Freshmen and also running cross-country and acting in 'Oklahoma'. He is Jud and getting taller as we speak. Dan's entire family agrees that the highlight of the family is Baby Lindsay. She loves clapping and playing peek-a-boo. She is almost always happy. It is hard to think what they did before she arrived.
