Top of the World

I am on top of the Sears Tower in Chicago. It is 108 floors up, and the tallest building in the US.

Here is a pic of Chad and Noel at the Shedd Aquarium on our trip to Chicago. What a catch!

Wow, it has been a while since anyone up dated this blog. Alot has happened. I know I speak for everyone, when I say that our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, mother-in-law, will be missed. Mom passed away February 16, 2010.

She was and will always be, the biggest influence in my life.

We definately have entered into a different part of our lives without her and Dad. Karen

Noel's Birthday

2009-04-15T20:26:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics from Noel's Birthday party!

Froggy Cupcakes...yummy!Noel loves cupcakes...it was hard keeping him out of them :)We held the party at this awesome park here in Jacksonville. It's oriented around younger children and has a couple of big toys to play on, the ground around it is either wood chip or soft rubber, it has a big pavilion and in the summertime it has a small water park with special sprinklers.The serving of the birthday cupcake!
Yummy!

Noel got a lot of fun toys and some cute clothes, but he didn't really get the whole idea of unwrapping, he'd tear into something and then just want to sit there and play with it instead of unwrapping the rest.

Zack's Farewell

2009-03-28T09:51:00.000-07:00

Here is a quick last minute post just for the sake of putting something on this blog. Zacks farewell is tomorrow at 9am in Arimo. I think they are having a lunch somewhere after wards! Yey, food! He is going to somewhere in Texas. Maybe someone else can post where and when he's going. I'm assuming he'll be gone for the standard 2 years. Maybe he'll be such an awesome missionary they will want to keep him there a little longer. Congrats and good luck while you're gone dude!!

Loved one Lost

2009-03-08T20:12:00.000-07:00

Some of you weren't aware and most of you know now but I wanted to post a link on here so i have to tell the story. My brother passed away this last week and I just wanted to post the link to a website my cousin did. There is a link for donations. I think that his wife will need all she can get. He also left behind 3 small children. Take a minute and read the obituary and donate if you can, or pass it on to someone you might know that can.
thanks

Baby name poll

2009-01-01T08:38:00.001-08:00

Ok, we cant come up with another name. The idea was for each to pick out two names and then mutually agree on one, ha ha. Anyhoo, here are the names we have so far so start putting in ideas!!
The middle name is pretty well picked......Grace. the only other option I forsee is Rae.

Isabella
Oakley
Brooklie.........spellings will probably be different i.e. brookleigh, brookly, same goes for all names.
Shylie

Have to tell the story on this last one. Brianna got a book for Christmas and was reading it and asked what a word was. It just happened to be shyly. We both kinda looked at each other and Ryan said, huh, we could use that as a name...I was thinking the same thing.
So yes after Paisley we all know that we come up with odd names, I think this list boots them all. Hadley is another name i came up with but ryan does like it so it hasnt made the list, yet. Anyhoo, there they are, let us know what you think!!

For anyone who doesnt know......we have been trying to decide whether or not ryan should attend a 9 month class for his warrant officer commission or just try and get him back in to the online stuff. Well officially as of today we are going to Oklahoma. We will be leaving in July. Just thought I'd update ya'll about that!!
Happy Holiday's

Birthday List

2008-10-16T15:35:00.000-07:00

I added a birthday list. if this is a good thing then send me more bdays to post, otherwise if you dont like it then i'll take it off. i could add tickers for them but w/ as many bdays as there are that would take up a lot of space.
thanks

From Enlisted to Commissioned

2008-09-19T19:02:00.000-07:00

This was Ryan's unofficial pinning ceremony at the Pocatello Armory on thur sept 18th 2008. He left the enlisted ranks and joined the commissioned officers on aug 2nd. He is now a WO1, warrant officer 01. This ceremony was held for family members. Nothing extravagant but it was nice to have Rob there to pin him and have the other family members and friends there.

So long trampoline

2008-09-08T19:47:00.000-07:00

Over labor day weekend there was apparently a big wind storm here in mccammon. imagine that. well, we were in mackay, where the wind never stops, so unaware that anything happened at home. Well come to find out we had a BIG wind storm at our house. With the exception of some apples I dont think anything was touched on the property, except the trampoline. It sat up on a little hill by the fence. When we got home it wasnt there, but got pummelled into a power poll about 30 feet away on the other side of the fence. Oh dont worry, the fence it fine, it didnt get touched either. I have included a picture of our long lost trampoline.

As requested by popular demand, I present the picture of the grand kids on Lady.

Mom & Dad

Here is a picture of mom and dad. It isn't really recent.

Remembering Dad

2008-08-24T22:50:00.000-07:00

This was taken last summer.

This was when Kara's baby was blessed.

This was taken at Jake and Richelle's wedding reception.
June 2006

Dad was a simple, caring person that loved to tease and joke
around. He taught me to fish and hunt and love the outdoors.
He supported me in all of the sport I was involved in and was
there for most of the games I played in. He was supportive in
all that I was involved in including serving my mission in Central
America. I'm sad to have him gone, but happy for him to be free
from the mind and body that has failed him in recent years. I know
he is busy catching up on everything with his family and friends that
has preceded him in death. I love him and will miss him.
