suuuuuurprise

Oh boy!! This weekend was soo fun!! Thank you family for making it such a success. A HUGE thanks goes out to Monica for being a mastermind and master planner. Another big thanks to Pinterest. And Mallory!. And Dean. And Maddi. And Kenzie for driving up to the big party! And The Greers. And Nana! And Green River cousins. And Aunt Deanne and Uncle Keith. And Ken and Mike Huston. And Aunt Cathy. And all friends and countless others that came and shared in the magic.

In case anyone is planning a big party in the next bit, Monica is up for hire. Seriously though, she has such fun ideas and ambition to get them done. A big party takes hard work and mad skill. Both of which Moni has.

The best part of the party was when Brenda walked in and got all teary. There were a million people there to celebrate her big 5-0 and it sincerely was heart warming.

CHRISTMAS

Christmas is the next time we get all together! Who is excited??? !!!!!!!!!!!!! Tooele is the place to be. When is everyone getting there? I know Michael and I will be there Christmas Day to share in the festivities. We are SOOOOOOOOO excited! We threw around some ideas last night. Maybe a white elephant for all the cousins? What other ideas or traditions should we all be looking forward to?

Sunday September 4--Mike and I will be attending a baby blessing, well.. two! Matthew Paul and Michael Ryan will be blessed at my sister's ward here in Riverton. We are making hawaiian haystacks and I've been looking forward to them since we ate them in St. George last month!!!!

the farewell. the begining.

The most recent event was Jace Larson's farewell on Sunday the 21. Where Monica, Maddi, Mallory, Michael and I decided that it would be cool to have a blog and to keep track of all our adventures and activities. Soooo.. Here we are. With a family blog. Cool>>>

Jace gave a GREAT talk. I loved how he started it out. "Last time I was sitting up here, ready to give a talk, Brother Harrison--from the old bishopbric--leaned over and asked it I was ready to give my talk. I whispered to him, 'Not only am I ready to give this talk, I am ready to be the bishop of this ward.' I have humbled myself a little and realize that I am not ready to be a bishop, I'm barely ready to be a missionary."
