Disney Trip in January

The Wedding Of The Year

Updates

So I was challenged to update my blog. I started putting pictures up and realized some big highlights of the year were forgotten after I posted Ashton's pictures. Enjoy the shows!

Morley graduated in May

Ashton is famous....

Adelaide is what???? for Halloween

Happy Halloween

Ashton had his choir concert tonight. It was great. He looked so handsome up on the stage with his suit on. He is getting so tall! The groups sang some Halloween songs. Limited Edition sang "Stop In The Name Of Love." It seems like just yesterday that Adelaide was up singing that. It has been six years since she was in Limited Edition and it seems like yesterday.
Last night Morley helped me with my Halloween costume. I am working on it tonight. I bought treats and decorations as well tonight. I hope I can get everything done that I need to before Friday.
Adelaide has a cold and sounds horrible. She is still sick and throwing up alot. Poor girl!

Morley helped me make a costume for work. I thought I had a picture but I guess I don't. Too bad. Anyway I was a Mozy server. We just got he Mozy account. I had a video player playing the making of a Mozy commercial and Morley created a real looking server.

I have pictures of Adelaide's costume but she is the only one we captured.
Happy Halloween all!

Canning Tomato's

Morley and I put up tomatoes this weekend. Adelaide's in-laws were gracious enough to give us enough to put up 11 quarts. They sure look good.

We are excited to be grandparents - as if you can't tell by the blog. Only 131 days until the baby is due.

It is weird to think that Halloween is just around the corner. LIfe has been so hectic lately. Never a dull moment. We are trying to clean and throw out stuff. It sure seems we accumulate junk quickly. Takes so long to get rid of.

Canning

Morley, Ashton, Virginia and I have been doing lots of canning lately. We have done some raspberry, & orange marmalaide jam. Morley and Virginia did a batch of peach jam on Saturday. We also have canned peaches. It has been fun canning again.

Update

It has been awhile and was encouraged to update my blog. Adelaide's birthday has come and gone. We had a party for her at the Barnes park. It was a nice day. Steven's family came and Collin with all his children. Morley and Virginia and of course Reed and Ashton. It turned out nice. It was good to be with Steven's family again. We had a pot luck dinner and played water balloon volleyball. On Sunday, her real birthday we had our family over for dinner. We had chicken enchiladas and beef enchiladas, salsa and chips and funeral potatoes. It was a nice weekend. We gave Adelaide a small filing cabinet, a bookshelf and a baby jungle gym. She got some cute blouses from her in-laws. I should have taken pictures but was so busy and caught up in all the things for the party and dinner I forgot to even take one picture.

Summer trip 2008

Computer is finally up and running

It took 9 days but my computer is finally working. Ashton is back from Youth Conference. He had alot of fun and learned so much. It will be nice to get some work done for Helpers West now that my computer works.

PC is down

It has been quite the week. First my PC breaks then my domain name with Network Solutions expires. Thank goodness I got the website back up pretty quickly. I am still struggling with my PC. UGGGGHHHHHHH. Both Morley and Steven have worked on it. It only works in safe mode. I need to get it in but need files transferred first. Oh how I rely on technology. Ashton left for Youth Conference today. I had to make him two tunics and two belts and two headbands to hold a head piece on his head. It took me eight hours to do that. They turned out ok. Ashton will be back on Friday afternoon. Yeah!!! He is a traveling guy this summer. He has been gone almost as much as he has been home.

More pictures Ashton took

First picture with waterfalls is FDR monument. Center Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Top left is Franklin D. Roosevelt in bronze. Bottom center - the White House.

Ashton goes to the NYLF (National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine)

Here is the group that Ashton was with each day to learn more about the medical field. They toured Washington D.C. for a couple of days during the ten days he was there.

Ashton Sutures

Ashton learned how to do sutures. He practiced on a banana while he was at his conference in Washington D.C.

Celebrate good times - come on!

Tonight Morley & Virginia and Steve and Adelaide came and we had yummy turkey sandwiches. I picked up Maddie after work and Ashton was a big help with getting the food and helping with Maddie. When it got dark we went out and did fireworks. It is always fun when we are together as a family. Morley & Virginia took Maddie home for the evening. Adelaide had fun playing with her. What a blast!!!

Ashton's back

Ashton arrived safely home after 10 days in Washington D.C. He went to a medical conference and learned so much. It is so nice to have him home!

Dinner at Morley & Virginia's

So we had a good dinner at Morley and Virginia's yesterday. Ashton is in Washington D.C. Adelaide & Steven came also. I made Lamb Stew and Beef & Lentil Soup. It turned out pretty good for both. Adelaide & Steven brought rolls and Morley & Virginia made tapicoa pudding. Yum Yum. We had a very good time! Morley and Virginia's house is really looking great. It is a very cute house. What memories!

Welcome!

Welcome to our page. We are novices at this but better to try then to never try at all. We will add pictures as we take them.
