Halloween...

Halloween is really different at our house now.  Brady went out to Harper's Halloween carnival with Stacie and had fun.  I helped at our community's Halloween carnival held at the school on the front lawn.  I was chasing golf balls all over as kids tried to putt them into these pumpkins we carved out.  We had a short and longer putt.  Then we would hand out candy.  The kids had fun but I was sure ready to be done before it was over.  Brandon was the only one to dress up.  He looked cute, scary but cute! Cole and Kacie were going to go to a corn maze but decided not to because it was so cold.  

Brady's School Pictures...

I can't believe Brady is a Freshman in High School!

I loved his school picture this year!

Randy and Alice's Wedding...

Friday the 25th Mom, Grandma Joan, Brady and I headed to Tremonton Utah to meet up with Rosie and her family and Kacie.  We stayed at the Hampton Inn there prior to going to Randy and Alice's Wedding.  Friday night all the girls went into Logan and did some shopping at Roolee and then we ate dinner at Angie's, a local restaurant that we all loved.  E.J. took all the boys swimming at a hot-springs near Tremonton.  Brady said it was a lot of fun.  Saturday we slept in a little, ate breakfast and then went to the wedding.  It was held at a girl's camp near Juliene's house in Logan.  It was really cute but boy it felt like it was in the middle of nowhere.  The weather would have been perfect if it 

wasn't so windy.

 Dinner at Angie's...

Such a cute couple...

 Alice's mom and their baby girl...so cute!

 After the luncheon we went to Rexburg to spend some more time with Kacie and Cole.  Mom treated everyone to dinner including Toni Frahm at the Hickory.  It was really good!

After dinner Kacie wasn't feel well so we just went back to the hotel.  We stayed at the Marriott and were pleasantly surprised with how nice it was.  Sunday we went to church with Kacie and Cole and then headed home.  It was a short but nice trip, especially when you get to visit with so much family.

Kacie sent this to me on our way home...I thought it was so cute...her first cake!

Brandon's Visit...

Early in the week I got this idea that we should bring Brandon home Saturday night and then we could take him to church with us and try to at least make it through the sacrament and hopefully the whole meeting if he does well.  So Saturday came and Brady and I picked him up after we went to a movie.  Brandon seemed like he was in a good mood so I was hopeful.  However, I made the mistake of not having him go to the bathroom before we left and he peed his pants before we got to Parma.  As the night went on Brandon seemed to continue to get more and more worked up.  So of course he never slept at all during the night.  I kept helping him get back into bed about every 40 minutes and then finally around 3 am Scott got up and watched two music videos with him until the sun came up.  We have dealt with this before but when Brandon gets violent, hits, cusses, growls and talks nonstop about random people and things it is really hard to deal with.  He even shattered one of my thick Mickey glasses by slamming it onto the counter top.  Around 8:30 I realized that we weren't going to make it to church.  So much for my so called inspiration to attempt taking Brandon to church.  It was then I realized with tears running down my face that there are some things that are worst than death, losing a limb, your hearing or sight.  And that is when someone you love so much loses their mind and you can't connect with them anymore.  I feel so guilty when we don't see Brandon as often as we should and then when we do we can't get through or feel that connection anymore.  I almost wish that Heavenly Father would take him home so he can be free from this state he is in.  I'm not sure how we will be able to bring him home overnight again.  Scott and I left around 11:00 am to take Brandon back to Tomorrow's Hope.  I don't think Brandon ever calmed down the whole hour drive there.  The worst part was when I was trying to say goodbye he hit me again hard across the face.  I don't think Scott and I said two words all the way back home.  And I might have cried most of the way home.  We were both so heartbroken.  I don't know why this time was so much harder unless it was due to still being very tender about losing Trevor.  I felt I had a righteous desire to take Brandon to church and that didn't happen either which is hard to understand.

Lunch & Movie Date with Brady...

I had to take our 2016 Honda Accord into the shop to get looked out.  It needs to have the driver side daytime running lights replaced.  Brady went with me and then we had lunch at Freddy's Frozen Custard.  After our yummy lunch we went to watch the new Maleficent: Mistress of Evil movie.  We both really liked it.  It was fun just the two of us!  After we went and picked up Brandon to take home for the night.

What a cutie...I sure love this boy!

Scott's Last Football Game of the Season...

Scott had his last football game today for the season.  He ended up having a better season than he thought and has some impressive 5th graders that he is looking forward to coaching in the next few years.  One of the parents and his son gave Scott this keychain and a new whiteboard to use when he coaches.  He was very touched by this gift.  That was so nice of them.  Another mother of a player asked Scott what he did to bring her son out of his shell.  Scott said he just has fun with them.  I always knew he was a great teacher and coach it's just nice when other people recognize it too! (:

Fall Choir Concert...

Sixth graders sounded good.  Kaylee isn't in the select choir but is taking voice instead.  Brady has really missed her in the choir.  Her solo was great she sang Santa Lucia!

The select choir sang The Lake Isle of Innisfree, Wide Open Spaces and Nda Wana.

 We all loved it when all the choirs surrounded the audience and sang Soualle together...it sounded awesome!

So Proud of this boy and so grateful for all the support from his grandparents.

Theodore Trevor Frahm 12/1/1976 - 10/8/2019

I was in total shock when I woke up Wednesday morning the 9th and saw a text from mom that Trevor had passed away from a farming accident the night before around 10:30 pm.  She had tried calling around midnight but I was asleep and didn't hear my phone.  Trevor was disking onion skins and saw the onion harvester had stopped so he went over to help.  He was cleaning out the back and no one knew he was back there and Spencer turned it on and Trevor's chest was crushed by the machine and he wasn't able to breathe.  I was so heartbroken... it was a rough Wednesday.  I can't even imagine how hard this is going to be for all of  Trevor's family.

 Mom shared these pictures with us...

 This picture was barely taken on October 3rd when we celebrated Grandma Joan's 89th birthday.  So sad that this is the reality now.  My heart aches for Krista, Tevan, Nicole, Tanner and Erik.

Thursday the 10th a bunch of us went to Rod and Launa's house to have pizza for lunch and show our support to the family.  I got there around noon and didn't leave until around 5:30.  We visited, helped put all the food away, cleaned a little and gathered some squash from one of their fields.  I was surprised by how much being there brought comfort to me.  We were meant to bring them comfort and in return I felt it.  I didn't want to leave my two amazing aunts Shelley and Launa.

Saturday Mom, Teniele and I went back to Launa's house to help do some more cleaning.  We washed windows and I painted her backdoor that Launa had started painting the day Trevor died.  When we were done they let us pick some pumpkins from their field which was so nice.  

Sunday a bunch of cousins went back over to Rod and Launa's in the evening to visit.  Toni said it helps when people are around.  We were going through pictures and found these old newspaper articles of Grandma Evelyn so I took a couple of pictures.  It was nice to be with so many cousins.

The funeral was Monday the 14th same day as Rod's birthday.  The viewing started at 9:30 and we got there around 10:00.  We stayed in line for about 20 minutes and then realized we were never going to get into the viewing so we went to the chapel to get a seat.  We were shocked they were able to get all the family in.  The funeral was a beautiful tribute to an amazing man.  Launa said they were sad that Elder John McCune was unable to come and speak but she said it was meant to be that Elder Kenneth Firmage was there.  His brother was in an accident and killed at the age of 42 and left a wife and young kids too.  He reached out to the youngest which was five at the time and now serving on a mission.  He wrote a letter to Trevor's family and it was so powerful.  Launa went on to say that Tevon was so fidgety during the service, but as soon as Elder Firmage moved the flowers and spoke directly to the kids Tevon never moved and listened to every word.  He said that his sister-in-law also wrote a letter to Krista but it was too sacred to read.  It was very touching.  

The Ontario Stake President Eric Dahle also spoke and touched on the 'Why'  He said he didn't know the answer but he does know that Heavenly Father is aware of us.  He shared how difficult it is as the Stake President when choosing a bishop.  He said a few weeks ago it came to him who the next Bishop would be in their ward.  He thought to himself that's nice but I don't need that information quite yet so I will tuck that away until I need it because Trevor still had a year or two left as the bishop.  Now he knew why that prompting had come to him.  

I was amazed how Andrea and Toni were able to talk about their brother.  They did such a good job, it was so fun to hear about all their adventures.  Everyone did so good, the speakers and the music...it was perfect.

 This was from the Brent Hartley family...so cute!

 I sure love these cousins of mine!  It was wonderful so many of the family were able to come...We do have a hug family and I love every single one of them.  I think was have 99 first cousins and it just grows from there.

I can't remember if it was Andrea or Toni who talked about our first live nativity with Trevor as the baby Jesus.  He was born December 1, 1976 so I was six and played the part of Mary.  Also pictured is Cindy, Juliene, Becky, Rosie and Todd who is also greatly missed.

Theodore Trevor Frahm, age 42, of Ontario, Oregon, was killed in a tragic accident on October 8th, 2019 on the farm that he loved.  Trevor was born in Caldwell, Idaho on December 1st, 1976 to Theodore Rodrick Frahm and Launa Gay Schulthies Frahm.  The oldest of five children, he was raised on a three generation farm south of Ontario, Oregon.  Trevor graduated from Ontario High School in 1995 and shortly after served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Mendoza, Argentina.  He taught and loved the people of Argentina, serving with honor in the Spanish language.  After his mission, Trover graduated from Ricks College with an Associates degree in Agricultural Business and then from Utah State University with a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Marketing.

In 2002, he met his future wife Krista Hytrek.  They were married November 7th 2003 in the Boise, Idaho temple.  They were blessed with four beautiful children Theodore Tevan Frahm, in 2oo5, followed by Nicole (2008), Leo Tanner (2010) and Erik Mel (2014).  His family brought light and joy into his life.

Trevor fulfilled his dream of working alongside his father and brothers on Frahm Family Farms.  In 2003, he began an onion packaging business, Frahm Fresh Produce.  In 2017, he along with his family, purchased the A&W restaurant in Nyssa, Oregon.

Trevor enjoyed the outdoors, being with family and friends, and farming.  He had a quick wit and an infectious smile.  He loved skiing with his kids in the winter and taking his boat to Owyhee in the summer, making sure everyone had a great time.  He was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served his fellow man as a High Councilman to the local Spanish Branch, and most recently, Bishop of the Ontario, Oregon 2nd Ward.  Trevor was the first to lend a helping hand; whether it be a priesthood blessing, help with a project, or plowing out his entire neighborhood during a snowstorm.  He was the rock of his immediate, work and church families.  Losing Trevor was devastating, but all who love him are comforted by the fact that families are forever, something that Trevor believed with his whole heart.  Those who mourn him have been comforted by the family, friends, and farming community who have poured out their hearts in love and service in honor of this great man.  He will be missed but his influence will endure, especially in the lives of his four children who adore their Dad.

Trevor was preceded in death by his grandparents (Theodore and Bonnie Frahm, Ray and Evelyn Bair Schulthies).  He is survived by his wife Krista, children Tevan, Nicole, Tanner and Erik, his parents Rod and Launa Frahm, siblings Andrea Pace (Eli), Spencer (Genniel), Toni, and Ken (Sharon), his grandmother Joan Fuhrman Schulthies, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Services will be held at the Ontario LDS Stake Center at 1705 NW 4th Ave, Ontario, Oregon, October 14th, 2019, at 11:00 am with a family visitation at the same location at 9:30 am that morning.  Interment to follow at the Evergreen cemetery.  Funeral arrangements are being handled by Lienkaemper Funeral Home.
