Great People!

Over 15 years ago, I was Liz's Beehive advisor and followed her through the 6 years in Young Women's. I was so blessed to be in the Petaluma 1st Ward serving with so many great leaders and terrific youth. Liz is a beautiful example of enduring and overcoming adversity. She is a kind, wonderful wife and mother and married to one of Jason's favorite youth...

Jared!

While I served in YW...Jason was busy serving in the Young Men program. Jared and Liz fell in love and married after we left Petaluma. They now have a cute son. It was a fun evening reuniting with them. Grateful for the decisions they have made in their lifes. Great People!

My Boys

I am so blessed to have crossed paths with Mo. You will see and hear more about this amazing young athlete that has tremendous faith, determination and ability to do many great things. He is our new addition to our family. I am amazed and humbled being around this gentle giant.
Mo brought his friend, Nate for the weekend. Nate and Mo attended high school and played football in California. Jason and I had a great time listening to their stories and adventures together. Great guys! Mo will start a new season at Weber, while Nate is playing for Utah State. My weekends of watching football has just tripled. I just love it! We will be attending most of Weber's games along with U of U!
I am a lucky girl to be surrounded by a fantastic family and amazing young people such as Mo!

Snowboarding

Jordan has a perfect Dad! She wanted to snowboard with a friend but we couldn't make it work for that day.
So her Daddy found a snowboard, boots and snowpants and took her to our back yard (the golf course). After skating for an hour and two hours of off ice training, she climbed up the hill and snowboarded down...while her Daddy watched.

They had a great day together!

Meeting Chris Parkin

What Did You Do for the Holidays?

Missy got MARRIED!!!!

Meet Chris Parkin and Elvis. Missy married Chris in Las Vegas on January 2, 2010! So far, I like him. He is funny, has gray hair and makes Missy very, very happy!

Happy 17th Birthday Tanner!

Seventeen...I love this little man!
When Tanner was younger, he would spend a few weeks in California with Grandma and Grandpa. My dad didn't like his long hair, so while Tanner was SLEEPING, he cut his bangs and sent me this photo! My dad thought he did a great job!

I must admit as challenging as it is to be around Tanner's energy, that is what I love the most about him. Tanner doesn't like to give hugs...never has but now I usually get one before he leaves for seminary in the morning. It was a welcoming surprise. I also LOVE when he sends me a text and says, "I love you." My favorite moments is watching him get a shot. It's payback for all the torture of his toddler years. Sounds wrong, but seriously one must experience it with Tanner. I also love his ideas...his latest, SCOUCHING. He mounted 4 ski's on an old couch and hauled it up the golf course. Two friends gave it a push, while three ski down on the couch.

Happy Birthday Tan Man!
