Rayner Family Move

For those of you that don't know, Amy & Hans Rayner, with children Breanna (14), Trey (11) and Matthew (5) moved to South Jordan, Utah on July 7, 2008. They have lots of cool neighbors. The neighbor on the right is in the Young Women's Presidency of Church in their ward; which is Parkway 5th Ward, on the left is the counselor in the Relief Society, down the street is the Primary President. With other members of their ward across the street and almost every other house in their neighborhood. The church building is 5 minutes away. With the Jordan River Temple about 4 miles from their home. It is really cool weather in the night time, and doesn't get dark until 9 or 9:30 p.m. The children in the neighborhood gather together and play night games, like hide and seek, etc. It reminds me of when I was a child. I will send more pictures later, once they are settled in.

Larry and I have been staying with them while Larry works at his office in West Jordan, UT. He is just about to finish up the job here and we are waiting for Becky to get back from Hawaii, to return back home. She made friends with someone who gets them on a flight for really cheap. She and 4 others made a trip there. That's our news for now. Love, Cindy

The Blessing Day

Everyone was there and the blessing was beautiful. Of course, food and fun followed in the cool, shady backyard of Michelle and Josh's house.

Gramma and Grandpa with Adele

Ok, I'm going to try and add photos. I guess it only does one at a time. We had a blast in Idaho and didn't want to come home. Leaving Adele was hard.

Did I figure it out? And does anyone use this?

This would be really cool if we all used it. I always forget it's there! We just got back from Idaho and the weather was gorgeous and Adele is adorable. Her blessing went wonderfully well. We had Josh's family and besides Mike and me, Sara and Ryan and family were there as well. A good time was had by all. I will post photos next, after I actually get them on my computer. Judy

Prayer's are answered from Cindy Maldonado

Today I was a little discouraged, because I could not find my garage door opener and mail key that was in Becky's car. I just could not remember where I had put them. This was when we took her to BYUI. I had not given up hope, so I prayed again, only this time I wanted to have a clear mind; be able to remember and have some clue as to where it could be. You know what, I was looking in some places that I already checked, but didn't check my sock drawer, until now. I must have been packing my socks given the garage door opener and mail key from her car at that time. I must have just stuck them in the drawer. That made my day, I am glad I took the time to pray. It is good that I found them, because Tim and Sicily are moving in with us this week. They are in school full time and can't afford the apartment, and they only work part-time. It took some convincing them to move in with us, but they are this week. I need more people to share the pool and the internet and satellite dish TV with. When Becky moved out I felt like why do we need all of this for just Larry and I. Yesterday, I was checking to see what stations my satellite provides, and decided to check out and listen to the CD BYU station. It is really good and helps me to think more positively when at home by myself, and no car to go anywhere. Another thing I am thankful for is. I was cleaning the bathroom yesterday; I had put some bleach in a spray bottle to spray on some mold areas that I found when we pulled out the baseboards and tile to replace with marble tiles. Well, I accidentally grabbed the bottle of bleach and thought I had the cleaner; it mixed with the cleaner and made a horrible smell. I didn't want to quit cleaning, but could not stand it. So I moved away from it, then I figured out what I had done. Immediately I sprayed everything down with water and the smell went away. I could have passed out. I am so thankful for the prompting to move away from the smell or I could have been worse off. Today I decided to try some pumice stone to clean the toilet bowl under the rim. There were some hard water deposits there and very tough to clean. The stone was not working, because I was scrubbing with it dry. Then I decided to read the instructions; it said cleaning works best with water. Then I couldn't fit it in the holes, so I decided to cut a piece of it to fit it in the holes. It worked, and now it is clean. I got all that hard water from all the past years, before I had a water filtration system put in our house for the entire house. From now on it shouldn't get that way again. This experience has made me realize that the spirit works even in little ways and blesses us in big ways; if we just take time to listen to the promptings. Larry and I finished installing the marble tile and the wood floors are done. The wood floors need the finishing touches to them by adding the transition from floor to tile at the thresholds of the 3 bedrooms. We need to install the baseboards everywhere, throughout the house to be finished. We are feeling very happy to have the major work done. I will send some photos later, so you can see what we have done. It is much easier for me to clean and I love it. I am happy to figure out how to post. I think the others in our family do not take time to figure it out. It took me a while; I still do not know how to do a blog.

Kaden Michael Klippel

On the post about Kaden, his birth date was wrong, if you cut and paste to keep this information, his birth date is the 29 March 2008. Sorry, I got a little confused. I think I put the wrong date on an e-mail earlier to you all as well. Cindy

Kaden Michael Klippel

Our daughter Julie and son-in-law Brandon Klippel have a new baby boy, Kaden Michael Klippel born March 29, 2008 at 10:27 a.m. He weighed 9 pounds 3 ounces and 21 inches long. The umbilical cord was in a knot, but he came out crying and a good pink color. Julie had the baby naturally, and did real well. A few hours later she developed a complication of loosing blood and had to have a transfusion. She recovered quite miraculously. This makes 22 grand-children for us. 10 girls and 12 boys.

We got Becky all settled in at BYUID. She was sick last week, but pretty busy. She is doing a full schedule with some tuff classes in Business Major. Our trip was good, we got a few days in at the library, while Becky went out and had fun with her friends in Salt Lake area. We rode up with Becky in her car to SLC and on Friday to Rexburg, and got her settled in the apartment, paid for tuition, books, etc. The apartment is across from the Temple. We picked up a rental at Idaho Falls and drove it one way back to SLC and then Flew on an airplane home late Saturday. Cindy

Hello all Maldonado's

This will be a great way for us to keep in touch, it will be a central email system that we can all post stuff on upcoming events, parties, get together's etc. Also It's a great way to keep in touch since we all don't live close by and some of us are not able to attend every family function.
