Just looking over my profile and realized that i don't have a picture of Shannon and Lawrence!!!! Oh my gosh.
Lawrence is my most favorite son-in-law in the world. He has a heart of gold and pretty much keeps everyone grounded. So here's a picture of them.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Larry and I spent this new years eve apart . The first time in 37 years! Up side of that is we both slept thru it so we didn't miss much.

Shan and I took Chris home on new years eve, he had been in slc monday thru wednesday with Shan and Drew doing meetings.
We ended up at J's and Megans on new years eve. Now you have to understand Megans house is approx. 2000 sq ft. There were 23 (I think) people there for dinner. Most of them kids. Tracy and Curt were there with their kids along with us and Chris's family. Dinner was awewome and Tracy, Megan, and Lisa had some great food. WE played games and visited until about 10:30, guitar hero kicked me off the stage twice. Anthony was the expert, then Lisa and Megan. We had fun. Then on new years day we had dinner at Chris and Lisa's. That night we added 3 for a total of 26 at dinner. Wally (Megan and the girls were in Cedar with her parents) JUstin and Gabby. btw I think the wedding is in Sept. 2009 and the ring is beautiful! Shan and I had decided to stay another night, and leave on friday morning. Then around 8 or so poor little Carson was in such pain that we decided to leave that night instead. He had a tooth that had absessed and had it pulled at 8:30 the next morning. We left st. geo. around 10 and arrived home around 1:30 friday morning. So thanks Megan and Lisa for letting us stay and hope to see everyone soon.

Ray reunion in Panguithch

Ray reunion in Panguithch
We have a family reunion each year on labor day. This one was at Panguitch Lake. Now understand my idea of camping is the Marriot. But I made it, without the use of a shower or good bed. The bathrooms were up the HUGE hill towards the top of this picture. The first time I made the treck i thought i was going to have a heart attack. I felt better when the kids were huffing and puffing too. This was our camp. We had volleyball and horseshoes. Gabby and Shannon won the volleyball and me, megan, and lisa came in second. But we will win next year. Not sure who won at horseshoes. the kids did a play on the last night, it was fun. I was sure glad to get a shower when i got home tho.
