Summer Fun

Hello Everyone!

Our family reunion is over and it was a lot of fun for everyone! "Thank you" to Robert and Rebecca for all of their hard work to make sure that everything went well. Now it is back to the end of summer for most of us.

Good luck Chris and Shani for your new life together. We wish that we were all able to come to your Open House. We will be there if spirit.

Here are some of our pictures of Chris and Shani's wedding and of the Bird Family Renuion.

Addie

Hi everyone!

It has been a long time since I have posted any news. First of all - Jonathan is doing well. He had is 1 year mark on May 16th. He is now in Oklahoma and he is happy to be so close to Tulsa. His new address is:

14703 East 450 Road

Claremore, OK 74017

He is now in the Tulsa Stake and he will be able to visit Tulsa for exchanges, etc.

And the next most important person - well they are both the most important people!

Addie!

She has been a perfect model for out photo shoot. Here are some of our favorites.

Las Vegas Trip

Hello everyone!

We just got back from our trip to Las Vegas. It was short & sweet! And a lot of fun. We drove down Thursday afternoon and made it to our hotel room by 11:30 that night. Needless to say, we went to bed as soon as we got there.

The next day was busy and action packed! Our first activity was to stop at the Outlet Stores for Matts to pick up some new sunglasses and a shirt. This was his idea, I did not have anything to do with it, I promise. Then we stopped at Kim & Alan's condo to visit family and drove out to Hoover Dam. They are building a road across the canyon just below the dam. They have too many people driving across the dam from Arizona to Nevada. I am uploading some pictures to show you how it looks. Chris has the best pictures, but these will show you the main idea.

After the ride to the dam, we went back to the condo and some of the kids went swimming until we went to dinner at a buffet down the street. There was so much food on the plates of the people sitting there. It was seafood night and the crab legs were everywhere! The food was really good, and we eat way too much. We left the casino about 10:00 pm. Some of us went back to our hotels, the rest of the group went for a walk along the strip. David and Matts were back at the hotel at 2:30 that morning.

The next day we slept in for a little while - at least the boys slept in. Then we went to the go-cart raceway. After the race we said goodby to the Kim & Alan Bird family and we drove home. After we had a long ride around town trying to find an on-ramp, but finally we were on our way home.

It was a quick trip, but it was filled with fun. We look forward to the next trip to Las Vegas - July 7th! We will be there, for a few days next time - I hope.

Deer!

I walked out of my house this morning to walk and this is what I saw! My beautiful rose tree has been eaten!

Almost all of the flowers are gone. There are 2 on the other side of the tree. They also ate the flowers in my pots and pulled some of them out of the pots all together. They are fun to watch, but it is not fun to have them eat the flowers I want.

Oh well, that's life.

P.S. I'm sorry when I spell names wrong, or any word wrong. David tells me of all of my slip ups. But I find most of them after they are posted. I will do better from now on.

 

Mother's Day

Mother's Day - May 11, 2008

Mother's Day was very eventful for our family this year. I'm beginning to wonder what will happen next year. Last year Jonathan had his farewell. This year David was made the new Bishop in our ward. We were able to talk to Jonathan- that was wonderful to hear his voice. And just in case you were worried, he sounds the same as all ways. Things are still "sweet" and he his still worried about being "old".

We were able to spend some time with Flora, Kim, Alan, Judy, Chris & Shani. And the round out the day our dinner at Janet's was fast and fabulous.
