Crittenden Family Update (Vera's Pauline)

Mom really loved her family

She cared and kept close count

Although, she’s gone, we’ve carried on

Here’s her report, it’s quite an amount!

Ted & Pauline had five children

Three boys and two girls we all adore

With their marriages and families

The count is now One Hundred and Four

The children are now growing old,

with families of their own

They’ve worked and served in many ways

Remembering the example they were shown

Within the ranks there’s variety, just a few that we will mention:

Furniture Builder and Cabinet Maker, Disc Jockey, HRS, CPA, MBA, Dietician,

Nurse, Border patrol, Scrapbookers, Construction manager, Students, Caretakers,

Helicopter Pilot, Production Specialist, Entrepreneur, Lawyer, Piano teachers,

We also have within our family Librarians, Pharma-Rep, Speech Pathologist,

Realtors, Florist, Tourist, Managers of marketing, vitamins, trucks and such,

Family Therapist, Travel Agents, Landscapers, then there’s moms and dads,

masseuses’, and gardeners- all with a very special touch…

So, in 2009, here’s an “account” of mom’s posterity…

This year:

One mission was honorably completed, one missionary leaves soon, and one Valedictorian

Two babies on the way (that we know of) and two cub scouts

Three average times that Grandpa Crittenden goes fishing each week

Four Grandchildren will turn THIRTY

Five great grandchildren will enter kindergarten in the next few weeks

and

Five great-grandchildren entered the waters of Baptism this year

Six The average number of fish that dad catches each week

Seven grandchildren relocated this year, moved houses or states. . .

Eight working in the Primary, two are Presidents

Nine the number of states that we are scattered across

Ten ARE OVER FIFTY!

Eleven working in Young Men and Young Women

Twelve little ones are under one, teething, crawling, learning to walk (mom would LOVE this!!)

And THIRTEEN…..Grandma would be a GREAT Grandma, with 36 great-grandchildren… (under 13 !)

And so as a new generation plays out

Learning to walk, pottie, count, ride horses, swim, sew, and dribble

writing their names or just learning to scribble

As they grow, we’ll teach them what their grandma was about,

Her love, her faith, And to love one another

Yes, great is our potential - the posterity of our mother

We love the Brown family and we are glad to be a part of you.

Love,

Pauline’s Family

(note: after “polling” entire posterity, the above list of facts were contributed and compiled by Cindy and DeAnn, status as of July 2009)

Vera Bisel & J Parley Brown Reunion 2009

A Vera Bisel and J Parley Brown Reunion was held last weekend at Heber Valley Girls Camp. Family members checked in at the Brown Reunion Pavilion to receive their cabin and yert assignments, sign up for workshops and activities, and receive name tags, sun visors, & a copy of the family newsletter & directory. In the pavilion we displayed carvings, photographs, genealogy, photo books, a quilt, artwork, and other talent displays from various family members, and had toys available to entertain younger campers.

We split into 3 smaller groups for dinner (by campsite) then had a nice program, beginning with a song which had been sung by Great Grandpa John Brown, followed by some family stories and remembrances, jokes, testimonies, and more music. Fire restrictions were lifted just in time for some s'mores and campfire stories and fun.

Breakfast was again served in the three smaller family groups (Pauline & Ted's family, Garry & Patty's family, and all the rest together in one group). Then we split up for workshops (natural cleaning tips, family history, career planning, understanding Medicare & Medicaid...) by individual family members. Boating, hiking, high adventure activities (a ropes course), and charitable project involving toys for needy children were also available. We all enjoyed a catered lunch together in the pavilion, followed by a family meeting in which a representative from each family group shared family news and happenings, kicked off by an impressive prose run-down of happenings with the Crittendens by Cindy.

Many thanks to Donald & Laurie's family for all the planning and work that went into this reunion. The next Brown reunion falls to Rodney & Sandy's family. We're looking forward to it!
