The Phillips Family: December 2014
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 7, 2014. A Day of Thanksgiving. Sometimes big crowds are difficult for Nathan, but we all enjoy having him near us. Angie is such a good mother for him. We never foresaw the difficulties that Angie and David would face, but the two of them are the perfect parents, probably the only parents who could handle the diverse family they have been given. Nathan loves his mom and would rather be with her than anyone else. Shon has completed a move this year and now has a home on the same street a...

The Phillips Family: Good-bye, Friend
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014/11/good-bye-friend.html
Sunday, November 9, 2014. I was privileged to work with Guy in church callings and some with our business connections. There was never a more honorable man to work with. I will never forget this good and righteous man who made such an impact in my life. I look forward to the time when I will see him again. Love you, Man. Hes the best home teacher Ive ever had! Still remember his loving visits from when I was a kid. Im sad to hear hes died- definitely thinking of his family. November 9, 2014 at 9:52 PM.

The Phillips Family: The Monster Tree and the Spirit of Christmas
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-monster-tree-and-spirit-of-christmas.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2014. The Monster Tree and the Spirit of Christmas. One by one over the years, each child has taken their ornaments to their new home with their new family, and one by one, we have had fewer and fewer helpers to put up the tree. This year some of our grandchildren came to help us, and some of our kids. Little Jeffrey didn't help much, unless you count the increase in the Spirit that could be felt as we had our own little Christmas child to love. Uh -Oh, here are three little boys pla...

The Phillips Family: Seeds of Grapeness
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014/10/seeds-of-grapeness.html
Friday, October 3, 2014. Holy Bunch of Grapes, Batman! It seems "some are born grape, some achieve grapeness, and some have grapeness thrust upon them". William Shakespeare Q. What was purple and conquered the world? A Alexander the Grape. The saga of the grapes continues in Janene's kitchen. We found more grapes to contend with and they are now being turned into various forms of grapeness for our future use. That is not all. Now for a limited time only, you can have BEETS too!

The Phillips Family: September 2014
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2014. We were painting the house when it started to rain . again. We put away the paintbrushes and decided to go check out a different kind of painting. I thought we were going to head up Little Cottonwood Canyon to look for autumn leaves, but it was already late and I knew that by the time we got there, it would be almost dark. We headed to Farmington Canyon instead. Oh, and those autumn leaves we were really planning on seeing? We saw a few of those too! Tuesday, September 23, 2014.

The Phillips Family: Winter Wonderland
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2015/03/winter-wonderland.html
Saturday, March 28, 2015. Janene and I were able to get away for a couple of days to see Bryce Canyon in "winter". We heard that it had snowed in the southern part of the state, so we made arrangements to stay at Ruby's Inn just outside the park and headed down. Everywhere we looked was an incredible panorama. We took over 1500 pictures and could easily have taken 1500 more. We arrived just in time to watch the sun go down and the full moon come up over the amphitheater. Be still my heart! As we headed h...

The Phillips Family: Elsie Kate - Child Actress
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014/11/elsie-kate-child-actress.html
Friday, November 7, 2014. Elsie Kate - Child Actress. So tonight, we got to see the rest of the story. Our granddaughter, Elsie, had a starring role in The Candy Bomber, just like Sam. It was like deja vu all over again as the curtain pulled back and there was a different grandchild singing and dancing her way to stardom. Wait a minute, didn't I say something like that about Sam? Of course, the family privileges allowed us backstage (well, it was really frontstage, to be honest) with this budding actress...

The Phillips Family: Sam Landon - Child Actor
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014/11/sam-landon-child-actor.html
Thursday, November 6, 2014. Sam Landon - Child Actor. Tonight we went to our grandson's play. It also happens to be our granddaughter's play, but that is a story for a different night - tomorrow night, in fact. Sam seemed to star in this play about the Candy Bomber, Lt. Gail Halverson. There was even an introduction by Brother Halverson at the start of the play. A little bit later and he was back on stage again. Janene commented " Sam looks good in a uniform" . This guy can sing! Who would have thought t...

The Phillips Family: October 2014
http://robinandjanene.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Thank You Dr. Salk. As a child, I knew about the iron lung machines that children had to be in to be able to breathe. If they were lucky, they could graduate from the machine, but have to wear steel braces to hold up their withered legs. I knew children at school who were permanently disfigured by the disease. There has not been a case of polio in the United States in over thirty years. My grandchildren will probably never even hear the name of the disease. The same c...I can...
