This is the result of a little project Alison undertook a few years ago. Copied from a Facebook Post.
I was cleaning my craft room today and came across a list that Philip contributed when I asked my siblings to help with a project I did years ago. I found it to be fitting to share again today. This is a list of things remembered and things he was thankful for growing up . I feel safe in saying that all of us remember these times and are all equally grateful. I added some of my own to it as well. Siblings~ feel free to add your memories and what you are thankful for. I would it!!

1. I remember building all different sledding runs behind our house.
2. I remember putting my feet up on the old vertical wall heater and watching Christmas lights.
3. I remember the many night games we played in our yard with all the neighbors.
4. I remember taking an axe and chipping the ice away from the driveway so we could play basketball.
5. The best memory is laying across moms lap and getting a back scratch.
6. I remember all the trips getting wood with dad (Even the one where he rolled Grandpa's truck).
7. I remember all the hunting stories and when dad shot the head off of the sage grouse.
8. Christmas Eves were the best ( Grandma and grandpa's and Uncle Mark and Aunt Gails)
9. Playing wiffle ball day after day.
10. Boat races in the ditch
11. The BIG BRIDGE!
12. Our paper route. We had to roll all the papers and rubber band them. Our hands were black and we had a mountain of papers to deliver in our front room.
13. Getting night crawlers
14. Watching the BRAVES games!
15. Home teaching Virginia Sneddon and Ralph Stephens
16. Family Home Evening- We usually had pudding for dessert
17. Shingling the roof, mowing the lawn, planting flowers, etc.
18. Christmas music playing and mom and dad singing.
19. Huckleberry muffins!
20. Deer meat and orange casserole!
21. Dad traveling to sell insurance after a day of teaching so that he could provide for his family.
22. All seven kids active in sports, cheerleading, etc and mom and dad made it to EVERY single event even in blizzards. They would often have to split up and one drive one direction and one drive another. They were our biggest cheerleaders!
23. Dutch oven chicken. Dad makes the best dutch oven. It is full of butter, but oh so good.
24. Hikes to the top of the mountains to listen to conference on the radio.
25. Going to Bear Lake Hot Springs.
26. Cutting our Christmas tree each year.
27. Family prayer.
28. Seeing our parents kneeling in prayer on our behalf. I came home really late ( really late) one night and found them in the front room praying for me (Alison). I will never forget that!
29. Best of all, we heard I LOVE YOU more than any other words in our home.
