Another Busy Month!

We went to Utah again for 2 baby blessings and 4 baptisms.  It was great.  They are such cute kids and we had a great time. Choosing to become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday-Saints.  I'm proud of all of them. Congratulations!

White Mountains

We sure had a great time in Pine Top and Show Low, they had a car show and craft fair.  It was a great day and then it started to rain.  They had some great cars and some fun crafts. 

 Then we drove down through the White Mountains and saw some beautiful clouds.  We stoped in Springerville and ate at Los Dos Molinos.  It was really fun and good food.

 The scenery was beautiful and we had a really great time. 

Cumora Gardner Miles

September 19, 1919 ~ September 5, 2014



On September 5, 2014 – 14 days shy of her 95th birthday – surrounded by family, Cumora departed her mortal body only to be surrounded by waiting family and friends beyond the veil.

She was born on September 19, 1919, the tenth of 13 children, to Brigham and Maria Gardner in beautiful Star Valley, WY. Some of her fondest memories were of her brothers singing as they milked the cows, playing dolls with her sisters and youngest brother, and hiding in the old apple tree with a book. She had a beautiful singing voice and loved to sing with her sisters, Maxine and Genevieve.

Her greatest love and joy were her family of five children, 19 grandchildren, 59 great-grandchildren with one more on the way, and one-great-great-grandson. She provided them with examples of strength, courage, wit, perseverance, and unconditional love. She taught them important principles through her service to others and her positive attitude.

She loved poetry, creative writing, Pepsi, Rook, chocolate, sports – especially the Jazz and BYU. Democrats, traveling, scrapbooking, playing the organ, gardening, flowers, mountains, trees, and writing in her journal.

She served as a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with a firm testimony of the Gospel and a great love for her Savior. Her LDS Missions to Washington DC and London, England personified her devotion and love for her fellowman and Jesus Christ. She held many names and titles: Blanche, Cumora, Mother, Father, Mrs. Miles, 1989 Clearfield Mother of the Year, Clearfield Citizen of the Year, Pinky, Grandma, Buka, but her most cherished was Daughter of Our Heavenly Father.

She is survived by her children, George (Nancy), Randy (Sandee), Kay (Mike), Darla (G. Steve) Blodgett, and Kathi (Brent) Mayfield. She is also survived by a beloved sister, Genevieve Bullard. She was preceded in death by her great-grandson, Bradley Blodgett; her parents; her brothers, Delos, Harold, Lincoln, Darrel, Ken, and Vern Gardner; and sisters, Allie Hyde, Marguerite Konopnicki, Dorothy Cleghon, Elna Mallory, and Maxine Van Brocklin.

Her family wishes to thank the staff of Mountain Ridge Assisted Living, the devoted Hospice of Utah staff, and the Skyline Branch for the care and compassion they showed our sweet mother.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, September 15, 2014 at 11 a.m. at the Shadow Valley LDS Chapel, 5191 Old Post Road, Ogden. Friends may visit with family on Sunday, September 14, 2014 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lindquist’s Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd. and on Monday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the church. Interment, Lindquist’s Memorial Gardens of the Wasatch, 1718 Combe Rd.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be send to the Cumora G. Miles Teaching Scholarship at WSU Development Office, 1265 Village Dr., Dept 4018, Ogden, Utah 84403.

Cumora Gardner Miles Sept. 5th, 2014

My mother passed away on Sept. 5, 2014.  She would have been 95 on the 19th.  She had 5 kids, 19 grandchildren and 60 great-grandchildren, she loved everyone of them.  She was a hard worker and loved people, she would help others and tried to  make sure they were happy, she always tried to feed you if you went to her home. She loved teaching and her students.  I will miss her. 

Campout for the Ward Outing.

We had a lot of fun at the Ward Campout.  We went to Payson and stayed.  Brock and I drove straight from Utah.  We met them there and had a great time.  It is beautiful up here and the weather was great.  The girls had a great time playing and eating.  We had a great time.

Camping and 42 Years!

It was beautiful up at the lake, camping was so much fun.  

 The girls loved having a talent show.  They are so good at song writing and singing.

 We all had fun on the trail. What a great time.

 This year was 42 years!  It's hard to believe that it has been so long.  So much has changed and we have done so many things.  What a ride.  Happy Anniversary!  

New baby in our family!  She is so cute.  8lbs 0oz and 20" born on 7-22-2014.   

Congratulations Erik and Ashlee!

FUN FUN FUN

 We sure had a fun week.  We had Brent's family reunion and the 66cousins party.  It was fun to see lots of my cousins.  Danny threw a great party.

 The twins were so cute in the wagon with their crowns on.

 They had bouncy houses and lots of great food.

 The cul-de-sac of fire.  We had so much fun. it was a wild party.

 Brent, Derek and Rod were having so much fun at their triathlon. They all made it back. 

There was so much to do, we had such a great time.  

Bryce Canyon

On our way home we stopped at Bryce Canyon.  It was beautiful!  The weather was great.  Brock came home with us and we had a nice ride.  This was a great vacation that we all needed.

FUN AT THE WATER FALL

 We sure had fun at the waterfall today.  It was a great hike and Jordan and Brock even went under it. The boys were great and loved to hike down to the falls.  The falls were extra full, there was so much water, we couldn't go as far down as we did Monday.

It was a great day and everyone had fun. They were all smiling funny smiles.
