Welcome to Spudnet - the meetingplace for all you spuds and duds

Yahoo has announced that it is closing Geocities later this year.
I will be moving before then, but I'm not sure where.

Enter with care...

Hi I'm Marilyn and welcome to spudnet, a place for our families to meet and communicate with each other. If you're not family, come on in anyways and become a part of our family too. 

Be sure to check out the latest and greatest of the spuds. Take a peek and see if you are there. I'm constantly adding new names to my main Shively database. I updated the Garman, Roote and Van Leuven databases just before the move. If you're not there now, you may find your line in the future. So bookmark it! 

One barren front yard. 
Back of the house. 

We are finally in our new home. It has been a blessing. We all fit comfortably into all the space we have. Each child has their own room when Emily is at school. When she is home, Micah and Barrett share. Adam has finally got his own room. He had to share ever since Micah was born. It was hard on the three giants living in one room.

Gary is still happily working for Idaho Fish and Game. He enjoys his job. It has given the opportunity to find old friends and missionary companions.

Gary is now serving as the 1st assistant in the ward High Priests group. Marilyn is serving as the visiting teaching district coordinator and also does the ward bulletin. Adam is the 1st counselor in the Elders Quorum Presidency in the singles branch.

Marilyn’s health has been iffy again this year. Last year it was B12 anemia. This year was something new. In July, she was diagnosed with iron anemia. Once again, it left her weak and tired. The foot problem was reaggravated, but it was much worse. The ligaments were swollen and tender to the touch. She’s on high strength anti-inflammatories and getting better. She was leading an “exercise” class for seniors called “Fit and Fall-proof.” It was designed to help seniors with their balance, strength and mobility to help prevent falls.

Barrett (15) is a sophomore and doing well. He is now 6'1" and still growing. He looks like a Stedman. He loves reading and can often be found with a book or two as his side. He has qualified for the academic bowl team at Marsh Valley. He is our king of trivia. He would like to be a history teacher when he is finally done growing.

Micah (17) is a senior and looking forward to graduation. He is 6' tall and still a twig. Both boys are delivering the newspaper (with Marilyn) and saving money for college. Micah doesn’t have any idea of what he wants to do in the future.

Emily (20) is a junior at BYU-Idaho on the summer/fall track majoring in art history. She has finally found her niche. Her art skills are growing. It’s still difficult, but she has managed her ADD better this year with the help of tutors. She’ll get a chance to visit San Diego for the holidays when she travels back for a wedding.

Adam (21) is a handsome young man. He is still working for the Pocatello school district as a special needs assistant working with autistic high schoolers. His second job working for a child development center came to an end when they closed in the fall. Next year in the spring, he will be the assistant tennis coach for the third year. Last year, they took first place in the state finals. Tennis is still his great love. He’s been thinking of college and trying to get some money saved. The mission is on a back burner for now.

We got a kitty to patrol the yard for mice. She is a kitten from a local stray cat that we have fallen in love with. She is very personable and wants to come into the house and be with us. She meows when we are up and she can hear us. The dogs are still getting to know her and vice-versa. After she batted Taffy's nose the first week, she's been friendlier to the dogs. S'More has been kind of hostile to the cat. When Truffles moves fast, S'More's herding instincts kick in. Taffy and Oreo are still leery of her. Speaking of the dogs, they are finally adjusting to the new house. We got a spot-bot to take care of the animal accidents. In the beginning, it was a daily thing. Now maybe once a week.
