Stihl Timbersports @ Thanksgiving Pointe_06062009

This last weekend I got to spend some quality time with my sister-in-law, Haley, & her boy, Kannon, while my brother, Chuck, was teaching a coaching class!! Friday night we went to "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian". I didn't think it was as good as the first one, but there aren't many sequels that match up to the first ones!!

Saturday we spent most of the day at Thanksgiving Pointe at the Stihl Timbersports Series!! I've watched this event a couple of times on ESPN2 & enjoyed every minute of it!! I was SOO excited when Haley & Kannon wanted to go to it!! I had a REALLY good time & look forward to seeing us on TV!! Sadly it's not set to air until Nov 15th, Nov 29th & mid-Dec sometime!! :'( Hopefully I'll remember come that time!! All well...it was still GRRREAT spending some time with Haley & Kannon!!! Thnx you two!!! LOVEYouBOTH!!!!

A Day With The Family_03142009

As you'll see with this blog I've discovered a wonderful way to make a slideshow of my pics (slide.com...very cool)!!!  And since I like to take a LOT of pictures & it's TOO difficult for me to pick just a few to post I figured this would be the best & easiest way for me to post them all!!

Last weekend I decided last minute to spend the day with my family!!  On my way home I called to "warn" them...if you will...and to my surprise Kannon answered the phone!!  He was bragging about eating Mickey Mouse pancakes & eggs!!  I told him how jealous I was & asked that he ask Gramma to save some for me...which luckily she did!!  MMMM...I sure do LOVE my Mother's cooking!!!

It was a fun-filled day which began with breakfast & ended with a bowling excursion with Jared, Jodi & Danny!!  This first slideshow shows the amazing pancake & eggs that we got to enjoy along with some of the score/screen shots showing the skillz that our family has at bowling, as well as some photos of Jessi playing and eating snow!!  What a fun family member she is!!!

Following are some photos of the fun time we had while cleaning out our cars!!  Kannon was a HUGE help, after he completed his stop sign of course!!

This last slideshow has some photos that Kannon took!!  It's amazing how much he takes after his Mother!!!

This little video clip shows how much fun Kannon has when helping us out!!

Jodi's HAPPY Day 2009!!!!!

Friday (01/30/2009) was Jodi's b-day!!! So...that night we had a little family gathering!! We were lucky to get MOST of us together (we missed you Taylor & Rachel!!!)

I LOVE getting together with my family...whatever the occasion!!! The main reason is cause of the LOVE & excitement that is shown when we get together!! Take for instance this get-together...as I pulled into the driveway & got out of Pepe', Kannon was on the porch yelling out my name over & over & over & over again!!! I LOVE being LOVED!!!!!

Families ARE Eternal!!!!

Thursday (12/11/2008) my brother Charlie & his WONDERFUL wife Haley were sealed for TIME & ALL ETERNITY in the Salt Lake Temple!! It was an INCREDIBLE service for MANY reasons, but one in particular...

My uncle Rodney & I were discussing "things" in the marriage waiting room & we got talking about Paula (his wife who had passed away earlier this year after battling cancer; my Mother's only sibling) & how when he visited the temple the other day he could feel her there with him throughout different parts of the temple!! At the beginning of Charlie & Haley's sealing ceremony the sealor talked a great deal about "angels"!! He mentioned that "angels" are our LOVEd ones that had passed before us (and he gave a quote by Elder Neal Maxwell) & that these "angels" were there to witness the sealing!! This was ESPECIALLY meaningful seeing that Aunt Paula & the Grandparents on BOTH my Mother & Father's sides had passed away & were not with us...physically!! It was EXTREMELY comforting to know that Aunt Paula was sitting next to my Mother & that my Grandparents were filling the empty seats on the row next to me!!

Now for the picture portion!! I LOVE pictures!!!!!
