WE CALMLY BROUGHT IN 2009 AT HOME WITH JOAN JUMPING AROUND WHILE BLOWING A VERY SHRILL NOISEMAKER, SWINGING ANOTHER IN HER HAND--GREAT FUN!  WE SEND OUR LOVE AND BEST WISHED TO YOU ALL!!

WE MISS YOU!-WAWA AND RYGUY!

I just wanted to simply say-We miss our missionaries!(Wawa and Ryguy)      

Ryguy-I even miss his annoying sports mode where all you do is eat, sleep,watch ESPN!I even  miss Ryguy yelling at me for touching his model airplanes,boats etc.

Wawa-I miss her willing to do something with me like take a bike ride,play catch etc. I also miss being there for me as a sister. Here some cool pictures of our missionaries before they went on there missions. Enjoy!

Spooky Halloween Greetings

WE had a Great Halloween! JT was Natalie Coughlin--USA  Swimming olympian. She had fun at both Trunk or Treat and at Trick or Treat. JT got a ton of candy!!  Those who mistook her for Michael Phelps were quickly corrected!!    We had a lot of fun! Here are some pictures! 

Spirit week at school

JT had a great time with Spirit week.  The highlights were crazy sock day with her toe socks and her leather english style cap for hat day.  Here are the pictures.  

Blessing day--Sunday, October 15, 2008

The big day was finally here!  After pressing up the dress to get rid of its travel wrinkles, it was time to try the dress on Lila.  It was a bit big, but made with lots of love by her east coast grandma or "Gammy" thanks to BW.  She suggested it just might be big enough for her baptism as well--it certainly is long enough...

Lila was beautiful for her pictures, then we realized that it would have to be removed as a side saddle safety car seat had not been found.  After pressing again, the dress was hung for the trip to church and Lila was dressed there.  Many family and friends came for her blessing.

California dreamin

The Star was blessed by her father with the help of both grandfathers, one great-grandfather, and 2 great-uncles.  She is a beautiful girl.
