Talent Show!

We have lots of great talent in our family, so whenever we get together, we have to have some sort of talent show!


I don't know if I remember all the details, those of you who were there, feel free to correct my mistakes.


Kionah (sorry if I'm not spelling it right) started us off with "I am a Child of God" in French.




We had some original compositions from Nathan, Tiffany and Leann!












Jon sang a couple songs.





Diana and the boys sang some songs I believe their mother either sang to them or taught them at one point anyway. Notice the boys all reading the words. There was no practise involved, and they
were all good sports! I put both these pictures in here because I loved how Diana was "performing" and the guys were her back up support!!

And Last, but certainly not least, Grandpa treated us to his rendition of The Sirey Peaks! He was a good sport as well!!




Afterwards, we all cleaned up and went back to the cabin to play games.

More of Grandpa's Party - Great Food!

Diana did a fantastic job putting this all together! We had a wonderful catered dinner! We started out by visiting and of course eating!!

Next...Talent Show!

Finally, I'm Getting to it!!

I ended up with so many wonderful pictures from our trip to Canada for Grandpa's Birthday, that I decided I would do it in several posts so I could share more of them!

Here is a couple from the actual party,

Here is one with Grandpa and his sisters, Marr and Donna...

It was so great to see Everyone!

Stay tuned for more...

Happy Birthday Grandpa & Grandma

Grandma Forsyth was born April 12th and Grandpa Forsyth was born April 18th.

I am really glad that I had Grandpa & Grandma Forsyth in my life. Without them I would not have had my dad, reunion memories and the wonderful music in my life. Dad always told me he learned his honesty and hard work from Grandpa Forsyth; who in turn, learned it from his father John. Grandpa John taught both of these qualities very well and I am so glad Grandpa passed them on.

Grandpa Forsyth is still living in Canada and I miss him and his wonderful childhood memories a lot! He has done much good and service in my lifetime and I am so grateful for his example!

Grandpa Forsyth has always been a wonderful Grandfather to me. I remember many times as a young child Grandpa would go out of his way to seek me out and cheer me up. He was always very complimentary and loving. I love grandpa's smile and hearing his voice!

Hope you had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grandpa,
and we miss you Grandma!

Change of Address

Hey just a quick note, Grandpa is no longer at the Chinook Lodge in Cardston. For now he is with Brent and Karen in Airdrie. They are having some assessments done to figure out what is going to happen from here. For now, everyone is content with him being there.

He no longer has a fax set up, but Brent set him up an email. You can email him at this address...

jwlilaf@gmail.com

love to all!

Photos for Grandpa!!

Hey I thought I would spread the word...

Brent and Karen bought Grandpa a digital picture frame for Christmas and are looking for pictures to fill it up.

All you have to do is email Brent & Karen your photos and they will put them on a card and update his frame the next time they go. You should reduce your photos before emailing them, they won't take as time to upload and download. He only needs about a 800X600 resolution. I reduced mine by 36% (my camera is a 5 megapixel). That helped in getting more in one email at a time.

This can be on ongoing thing through out the year. We are hoping it will help Grandpa be less lonely.

You can also fax letters and well wishing to Grandpa anytime on his home phone number. Again, Brent & Karen are responsible for this wonderful opportunity to let Grandpa know we are thinking about him and love him. I think this is awesome since I can't possibly visit him, I can write him as often as I want to. It's wonderful!! I hope if you have access to fax you take advantage of this great opportunity! And if you don't have access to a fax, you can email me and I would be happy to fax your note to him.

I hope you all had a happy and safe Holiday Season!

Update on Grandpa!

I just got an email from Brent about Grandpa, he went to see him recently and send me this update. I thought it would be good to put on here for all who visit to get the update. I'm hoping he took some pictures while there and will send them to me so I can post them too. I miss him and think about him so much!!

"The Chinook Lodge, where Dad is, was in quarantine for several weeks recently, due to sickness. Things are pretty much back to normal now. We visited Dad last weekend. Michael & Stephanie visited with him Saturday on there way to Lethbridge. The rest of us visited with him Saturday evening. We ate with him for the big meal on Sunday after going to church with him. He seemed in good spirits. Nathan always likes to play the piano for him when we are there. So he did that."

Thanks, Brent for the update!!
