Christmas 2009

This was an amazing Christmas we got to talk with Jeremy for the last time as a missionary on Christmas. This was the highlight waiting for his phone call. We had everyone at our house and by the time it was over we had talked for 2 1/2 hours but when you figure how many need to talk that wasn't bad! It was so fun having a believer in our house again. Ryder had a great time opening presents for "Missmus" he kept all of us believing this year. We were fortunate to have Malcolm and Brooke again this year for the holiday and next year we will add another believer to the family with their baby due in Feb or first of March we can't wait. The rest of the kids I think had a great Christmas also. We spent most of the evening after talking with Jeremy playing Rock Band that Dustin got for Christmas man I didn't know I had such a musical family. And best of all my amazing daughter Jessica FINALLY finished hair school!!! And, passed the state boards so now she can get a real job. We truely do love this time of year to spend with our friends and family

ANOTHER WEDDING
ON SATURDAY BEFORE EASTER WE HAD AN EASTER EGG SCAVENGER HUNT IN THE CARS. EACH CAR THOUGHT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR THE GOLD EGG THAT WAS FILLED WITH MONEY. EVERYONE WAS EXCITED AS THEY WENT FROM PLACE TO PLACE ONLY TO FIND OUT IN THE END AT BARNES PARK THE GOLD EGG WAS FOUND BY DUSTIN (WHO HAD IT IN HIS POCKET THE WHOLE TIME) LITTLE DID THEY KNOW THAT THE EGG HAD AN ENGAGEMENT RING FOR NAZ IN IT. THE LOOK ON EVERYONE'S FACE WAS PRICELESS. CONGRATS TO THE TWO OF YOU.

ALL IN ONE

It was an all in one day...Father's Day, Jessica's Birthday and Brooke's new puppy day.. So today was an eventful day for almost everyone. Gary loves the U so Riley thought these were the best. Brooke claims to be so lonesome that nice guy Malcolm gave in and let her have a puppy so grandma Kristi gets to tend while they go on their honeymoon.. So how does that happen??? And of course Jess turns 18 I can not believe it that we are getting so old. And it was our 25th wedding anniversary so we have all these on one great day. But did we just party.

GRADUATION

GRADUATION !!!!!!!!!

Well our Jessica finally made it. We just want messy to know how much we love her and how proud we are of her. She has worked so hard this last year in school and in cosmotology school. She has finally reached the end of her high school career. She will now take another year and finish cosmotology school and then she may head out to a college but if it involves cleaning her room she won't go. We were fortunate enough to have both Katie and Jess graduate together so we got to see them both. They are the best!!!WAY TO GO GIRLS!!!!!!!

A NEW CAR

With Jeremy out of the house we felt like we could afford a used car and it wouldn't get wrecked. Sorry Jer we just had to do it. Since gas is so expensive we thought we would park the suburban and just drive a small car to save on gas. We love this little car and Kristi loves the color she always wanted a red mercedes convertible but instead she gets a red toyota camry what more could you ask for?

Memorial Day Tradition

Each year we all hit the cemetary to put flowers on Uncle Bill's grave and Austin's . This year was different we were missing Jeremy and we added Malcolm. What a fun Sunday. After we went to Bill's we went and found President Hinckley's headstone. How awesome was that. Then we left and went to Austin's what an experience. We love to go their but we hate the fact of not having him here with us. What a day
