We had fun times visiting with Mandi and her family Mom and dad, and the women I used to Nanny for and her three boys. and as always we so enjoyed visiting with Bill and Judy Gray who are great friends from when we lived there. we went out to eat and we even took in a movie in the short time we were there. We had a very good visit with Dave and Shauna while there also always good to see everyone when we go out.

Christopher's Wedding

2008-10-24T13:21:00.000-07:00

This was a Joyful occasion!!!!!!!!! We were so excited and happy for Christopher that after all this w time he found someone to love and who loved him back. He got married this past July in Nycole and Bryce's backyard it was such a beautiful day and a wonderful ceremony. It was a little hot so as you will see in the pics we were all sweating a little and a little red especially once the dancing started. Everyone had a great time and we are so happy that Christopher found Mikel they make a great couple and lots of people came out to show their support to Christopher and our family. We were blessed that both sets of parents could make it out and that lots of friends and family were able to come to. Here is a slide show of the wedding.

Let's Take a Stroll

2008-07-18T08:25:00.000-07:00

I saw this on my friends blog, and thought it looked like a lot of fun....

Here are the directions....

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I have together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember...

2. Next, repost these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave a memory for you!

Happy Birthday Dad

2008-01-18T15:03:00.000-08:00

well for my dad's 60th birthday my mom decided to surprise him with a party at their house. Nyocle and Mom also got everyone to write a little letter about dad and what they remember they also got his siblings to write one. Then they put it in a book for him. For his party we all sat around and talked about dad or I guess you cold say we roasted him he was surprised and it was fun. Here are a few pics of the fun.

New Years

2008-01-05T18:33:00.000-08:00

For New Years we went up to Heber and stayed in Nycole's and Bryce's cabin. We had lots of fun all but Tricia and Cameron were there on Monday and we had allot of fun, we went sledding, played games and danced as we welcomed in the new year. mom of course didn't come out and play she was to busy tending to all the little ones that were left inside. Cameron and his wife Jess surprised us all by coming up from Sacramento Just after the New year they were 1-2 Min's late. Tricia and her family came up on Tuesday morning so we had all of us there for a short time which was fun. I am glad that we were able to spend some time together as a family and since mom was inside most of the time I will post some pics here for all to see hope you enjoy. Happy New Year to all.

About Us

2007-05-31T16:23:00.000-07:00

Well I just thought that this would be a fun way for our family and friends to keep in touch with us and our lives. I saw annie's blog and thought it was so cute and wanted to do the same for my family. I will try and tell you as much as I can about us and the kids since not all of them have the time to do their own. I hope that we will all be able to keep in touch better and that those of you that live further away will be able to see what we have all been up to. I hope you enjoy
