The Hulse Haven

Hey kids that are coming to the Hulse Family Christmas party....This year we will have "An American Tail" for our movie. See you there!!!!

Has anyone heard from Brian or Kristen? I have been contacting their home phone,cell phone, front door, and facebooks since last sunday. Kristen said they were coming to the show on the 10th...but I looked for them last night...they were not there. If you have heard from them let me know....I hope they are ok....

We hope you all have (or had, in case you read this late) a great Thanksgiving and spent it with those you love so much and that next year you can spend it with those you didn't get to spend it with this year. We are filled with gratitude to the Lord for all our many blessings and as I said before, you, our posterity are our greatest blessings!!! Love Mom and Dad, alias Grandma and Grandpa Hulse.

Steve!!! The apple juice was SOOOOOOOO good! You are so good to share eggs, and veggies, and now this....I feel so unworthy because I have nothing to offer back. Maybe I can milk Libby...

I feel my greatest blessings are the posterity we have! Every one is so dear an each one has special gifts that they share with us. From Colton all the way up to the Patriarch that I have the privilege to be companion to. The whole tribe is loaded with talent,charisma,and personality! Not to mention how loving and helpful they all are. To be with you guys is the highlight of our days and we don't care how many times you come to visit, WE LOVE IT! You are never a bpther and we hate to see you go home. If I could have the wish of my heart, we would have a mansion big enough to house us all. ( Something like Pemberly would be nice!) We thank the Lord every day for you all and remember you in our prayers! Love, Grandma Hulse

I am challenging some of the authors to post a blessing that they notice that might otherwise be uncounted. I will even start. Color. Isn't it amazing the beautiful colors we are looking at these days. I think it is even great that we have green for a season, so we don't get tired of the vivid reds, oranges, golds and shades of brown. I have a lovely burning bush with a background of gold and dark green. I love being in my backyard and seeing that bush! Are you glad for the variety of colors around us?

Superman built an apple press.
It is wonderful. Juice being consumed at incredible rates.

Tummy aches expected soon. More pictures on Johnson Family Blog (Link from Becky's briefs). Check it out!

Hey there all you ghosts, goblins and witches. There will be a family gathering on Oct. 25th at 6:00 P.M. at Grandma and Grandpa Hulses haunted house. The menu is still up for suggestions and any ideas for spook alleys or entertainment for the kids will be greatly appreciated. Come in costume(not required). We love you all! Grandma and Grandpa

Richard and I have had 3 showings this week, hooray! Isn't that great news? I just hope somebody makes an offer. One lady really liked our house, and had to show her husband... I hope they choose our house.  We are hoping to move closer to the U of U and really immerse ourselves in this student life thing.  :) GO UTES!

I am really enjoying this beautiful autumn weather. I love wearing sweaters and having soup for dinner. The cooler weather also makes sleeping much more enjoyable after working a graveyard shift. Plus, my neighbors don't mow their lawns in the middle of the day when it is sleeping!  :)

Alaina had a great birthday. She is getting smarter and funnier every day. I can't believe how fast she is growing. She is going to be a bumble bee for Halloween. Rich is doing awesome in his biomedical informatics classes. He is planning on applying for a pH.D in December.


Hope all is going well with everybody else!

Much love,
Stephanie

Check out My Favorite People on Beckys Briefs. There is a new recipe blog included. And let's keep posting on this blog so we know what is going on with people!

I goofed and chose the wrong date, but let's see if you noticed that I changed the date on my previous blog. If some of you know of family members that don't read the blogs, let them know!!! Love from Grandma Hulse

:( PIRATE PARTY CANCELLED!!! :(

Ye Lubbers and mates......Grandma Hulse's basement was flooded on saturday morning, so we are going to have to cancel the Pirate Party :( It was nice of Uncle Jay to try to create an atmosphere of the bilge hull of a ship, but that is above and beyond the call of duty.

Translation: Jay had come for a visit, and the downstairs toilet has a bit of a shut off issue anyway, and the water ran for several hours. WE WILL RE-SCHEDULE!!!!!

Regards,
Dread Pirate McFlint

ON JULY 26 th at 6:00 PM THERE WILL BE A PIRATE PARTY AT GRAMMA HULSE'S. WE ARE HAVING POT LUCK: COLD SALADS, CHIPS, AND DESSERTS. PLEASE LET GRANDMA HULSE (Lady 'O the Sea) KNOW WHICH YOU WILL BRING. HERE IS THE AGENDA:

Our spotlight this week is on Mysti. I sent her an email asking her a bunch of questions about herself and she willingly agreed to be our spotlight this week. Here is a little bit about her; I'm posting some of her email. :)

Finally, I think my life is a musical, not only do I sing in the Shower I also sing in the car, on the bus, at work, at the mall, while making cookies, while taking walks, getting dressed, saying my prayer and brushing my teeth, I also settle all my arguments by having a dance off. This has led to things that some people might think would be embarrassing, but I don't, I honestly can't think of anything embarrassing. I will call out other peoples embarrassing moments, and say things like "That's embarrassing" to people I've never seen before. I don't fear the embarrassment... I embrace it.

This is a request to get some feedback on a get together for the 24th. Should we have a breakfast? Or would it be more fun for a bbq in the evening? Which day would be best? Friday? Saturday? Sunday? We could have some backyard games. Grandpa and I received a royal treat when we visited Megan and Lauren and they played duets and solos on their violins. I hope the whole family gets to hear them! We need all who play any musical instrument to come share their talents. Please let us hear from you all!!! Love, Grandma Hulse

Last night was Grandma's fairy party. The turn out was quite astounding! I loved seeing everyone that we haven't seen in quite a while. Uncle Chuck was in town, and Christian was visiting from San Francisco. Even uncle Jay made an appearance! I can't even remember how long it has been since I have seen him. Brian, Rob, and Chuck all wore kilts. I do have pictures of that. And Misty and Scott came wearing fairy wreaths in their hair. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of Scott wearing his. We missed uncle Steve. Sorry to hear about your collar bone. Thanks to Grandma for throwing a great party!

Uncle Chuck is in town!!! YAYY!!! so he will be at the fairy party....

How does June 28th sound for our Fairy Party? The 21st is Father's Day and it is hard to get to visit all our wonderful fathers and have a separate party too. Yes, we are using the fairies as an excuse to see all the big and little elves,brownies, and pixies in our family. We will let you know more in a few days! Love, Grandma.

I believe it's high time we welcomed our summer fairies to Grandpa and Grandma's garden. We will have a contest to give them names and Fairy Food will be appropriate. We can start at about 6:00 We love you all so much! Love, Grandma Hulse

HEY EVERYBODY! Aunt Wendy and Auntie Debi have a FUN idea. uncle Rob and Auntie Irish (Debi) made a movie when they were at the cabin for Memorial day.....it is titled: The Bare Hitch project....ok...it's rated PG 13, but very funny. OUR IDEA: To have a family movie night where we have made our own movies....We can have rules....like the movie cannot be more than 5 minutes long. And we will have AWE SCORE awards for the funniest....scariest....best costume...best script....etc......ANYONE UP FOR THIS????

When is our next family get together? It seems like a while since the fam has gotten together. We need to do something about this. Perhaps you could comment about fun things to do, times and dates, when and where. I will think up some things too.

I'm offering to do pedicures at a low cost. This includes a full treatment and painted toenails in a color of your choice. Let me know if any of you are interested.

DEAR FAMILY>>>>>>

I have an extensive collection of DVD's, and in sorting them today have discovered several still "loaned out". See the list below, and if you would like me to e-mail you a current list for your future movie nights, just send me an e-mail or facebook me your e-mail address, and I can foreward that.

Please everyone come to Colton's baby blessing this Sunday, May 1st at 12:30. It is at the Apple Chapel located at 800 W 1500 S in Woods Cross ( kitty corner to the apple store, hence the name)
I really hope to see everyone there.

My dear sweet family,

I apologize to any of you that I was not able to contact personally last week. As many of you know we had a shocking event involveing Brad where he ended up in the I.C.U. at V.A. Hospital fighting for his life. It was a very difficult time from Sat. March 21, to March 25, when the Doctors were finally able to take him off the life support machines, and slowly take him out of his sedation. WE FELT YOUR LOVE AND PRAYERS!! Particular THANKS are due Stephanie Lambert, Brian Hulse, and Jeremiah Johnson. Your support and kindness was astounding, and much much appreciated. Becky...Thanks for making phone calls that I could not. I am able to survive this tragic event, because of the love and support of my family. I LOVE YOU!!!! Once he was awake, it was evident that another personality has occupied his body, and we will have to take that as it comes. Again THANKS

Auntie Irish

B'gorra it's that time again! On March 15th there will be a fine old Irish party. It will be at Granny and Grampy O'Hulses ( you can spell Grampy anyway you think fits).
We will have Irish potatoes and goodies. We could use this as a springboard to the Irish band, so bring your favorite instrument. All those who have been married less than 5 years, bring either salad or dessert. All those who have been married over 10 years bring toppings for the potatoes, Non-marrieds bring rolls. Those married over 50 years bring potatoes. See you then at 6:00 P.M. Love to you all,Grandma Hulse
