Families Can Be Together Forever

WE ARE SO PROUD OF BRYNN....this is a lovely granddaughter inside and out. She is sweet and precious and just turned eight years old. We can't wait to attend her baptism and enjoy her special fun spirit. How blessed we are to have her as our own.

I HAVE A GRANDSON NAMED JOEY THAT IS KNOWN FOR HIS FUNNY FACES, but in reality he is a smart and talented kid. He plays the piano like a pro and has accomplished his Eagle Scout already. He is kind and sensitive to others and is helpful and unselfish. I am very proud of him. Love u Joey.

My mom used to tell me how much fun she had at Fish Lake, but Grandpa must have caught
all the fish because they weren't biting when we were there. It was just fun to be together and enjoy each other. We didn't even need the fish to have a good time. We went on nature walks and boat rides and the kids played all kinds of weird games till late in the night inside the cabin. Dad and I went to sleep that night with a smile on our face and a feeling of heaven as we listened to our spirited family play and laugh together. Life can be wonderful when you open your eyes to the blessings around you. Sometimes life is hard.....not because we want it to be....it just is.....so we look for the good times and hold them dear in our hearts and memories. Then when the hard days come......there they are to bring us a smile.

I feel bad because I had really good intentions on getting the girls really cute costumes for Halloween example: Emma a butterfly and Pagelnn tinker bell. But with moving and other stressful things going on Pagelynn was a little fairy AKA: Tinker bell and so was Emma.. I also thought Tinker bell costume is kind of a cold costume to wear but then again the weather was GREAT Pagelynn could of wore it, OH well. Also I didn't get great pictures because my camera died so hopeful my sister got better ones that I can post later.


Pagelynn and Addison AKA: Cinderella Truck or Treating


Not the best but Emma and Pagelynn Truck or Treating
The girls ready to go Truck or Treating, Pagelynn as Tinker bell/ fairy, Emma in the back kinda hiding ( bye the way was her 1st Halloween) as a fairy , Reagon as a chick and Addison as Cinderella

We had a Great Halloween, We spent the day with my sister and her family. Trent and Brad (brother-in-law) went bike ride for a couple of hours while Darcie and I watched kids and cooked. Then we carved pumpkins, which I thought Pagelynn would love because, in the past she would dig in with pumpkin guts from head to toe, Not this year. She didn't want to touch the guts ,well just a little from the bowl. Then we went Trunk Or Treating at my sisters ward where Pagelynn got tons of candy.After wards we went home to home made chili and yummy pumpkin rolls..



Pagelynn finally touching the pumpkin guts from the bowl and staying see mom, "I did it", "I did it."



Her and daddy cutin the pumpkin it was a cat sitting on a tree.. didnt get a finished picture
Pagelynn cleaning the outside of the pumpkin... the inside was too yucky.. funny girl

Carin has a birthday this month which is her favorite month of the year because she loves Halloween Parties and Celebrations. She is a great mom and very creative. She has a beautiful personality and we all love her very much. Happy Days to you, Carin, always.

My Dad has a birthday this month. I am so proud of my Dad and all he accomplishes in his life. I love him so much. He grew up on a farm in Louisiana and they worked hard growing sugar cane and cooking it into syrup. His life was never easy but he was never afraid to work hard. He has worked hard for his kids all of his life. Once when Mike and I tried to open our own business he worked hard day after day for a few years just for us and never took a dime or a paycheck. I feel I owe my Dad the world. He would do anything for any of his kids and his neighbors and friends. He is true and loyal to his fellow man. He taught me to be honest and love God. When he dropped me off at BYU to go to college, he told me I would be alright if I just remembered to pay my tithing. When He had his 80th Birthday, his advice to everyone was "don't to things your way....do things God's way". I hope he knows this he is my favorite hero. Love you Dad and Happy Birthday.

Mason Michael

Lea has a Birthday in August as does her brother Mason and cousin, Joey. Lea is as sweet as candied apples and full of love, and joy. Mason is so smart he can calculate any numbers you give him faster than your calculator can. He is fun to be with. Joey has a special Birthday as he turns 12 this year. He plays the piano like Mozart himself and does magic tricks and still pulls funny faces. We miss these August Grandchildrn and send our love.

Steve did a concert last friday night and it was great! It was also fun to see Trent play the drums and Scott play the bass guitar. They are all so talented!! It was too bad they didn't have Bob with them because He also plays the guitar. Sorry, just being a proud mom.

Scott playing bass at concert. He did so awesome and we can't believe how talented he is.

Happy Birthday Jeni , we wish we could have been with you on your Birthday!!!!
