And even with trying to get prepared it's still hard......These pictures are of Ryan's last "O<strong>ne Voice"</strong> concert for the year...He has worked very hard and has helped choreograph most of the numbers with Demi. It has been a lot of work, but a lot of fun for them too.<br />We felt the whole program was the best that we had ever seen and very professionally done. They had their Spring Tour this year to the Phoenix area during Spring Break at Easter time. It was a great tour and they had a lot of fun. Ryan does a good job and enjoys the singing and the dancing. On Mothers Day they will do their religious program as a fireside and that will be good too<br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Z4VISDbYrzaIrdFFYtGnWnSoEnsJgrZLo2IJst3vGEru4TiRa1ijpPEa9zOWadYSG2B7QTIiw-yjzQTgNQfgOeLyTixXnpvO-_QrpZUxoqL0TuymyASBvjKw3w5csaS513WUevl8Eng/s1600-h/IMG_3184.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 115px; HEIGHT: 87px" height="72" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Z4VISDbYrzaIrdFFYtGnWnSoEnsJgrZLo2IJst3vGEru4TiRa1ijpPEa9zOWadYSG2B7QTIiw-yjzQTgNQfgOeLyTixXnpvO-_QrpZUxoqL0TuymyASBvjKw3w5csaS513WUevl8Eng/s160/IMG_3184.JPG" width="258" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_fqv_xyz8aWdy_QWwyw85HWJXgl9mfI1kBFwduOfPuyMniVwizjnWJSMsXof2FjrAAqwbU0ORtwhm4alRASiZpQP-u9v6lTf09jTOiON6kqmWT9SeRZ23q4s8pXgt3LaRz2MdMe5Xfo/s1600-h/IMG_3185.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_fqv_xyz8aWdy_QWwyw85HWJXgl9mfI1kBFwduOfPuyMniVwizjnWJSMsXof2FjrAAqwbU0ORtwhm4alRASiZpQP-u9v6lTf09jTOiON6kqmWT9SeRZ23q4s8pXgt3LaRz2MdMe5Xfo/s160/IMG_3185.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Jackie A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00717360258524569397noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721411248639883634.post-35366978823100608022009-04-26T20:21:00.001-06:002009-04-26T21:26:09.788-06:00JOYOUS NEWS!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg72N8V-p4VaFtLUog6p9he3EOTyqMIad0DWcrbI2aON6w6XmAh7wX2g93cPlBriutMHwOt2eVTHUkIuhOec_jM05JkEK2s8qhbQMlbv5RH0aLgLrxd9oarcd3EcE28b9dFELkYbaLWBUs/s1600-h/IMG_3186.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329207147058587554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 277px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg72N8V-p4VaFtLUog6p9he3EOTyqMIad0DWcrbI2aON6w6XmAh7wX2g93cPlBriutMHwOt2eVTHUkIuhOec_jM05JkEK2s8qhbQMlbv5RH0aLgLrxd9oarcd3EcE28b9dFELkYbaLWBUs/s320/IMG_3186.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGXfkXqwcW6OuAxX7Lc9TNR2_ZMQWHS0KGgcxtM4pmqepetGHkTLdAdeX4qIXALM_BOU7rCxyY0KMlH1jdQfVVm2LXAh1z_KjCLQp-MpPawMIRqzJJA_Y6OcPKpL85jtKm2xe3zdnyyM/s1600-h/IMG_3188.JPG"><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdGXfkXqwcW6OuAxX7Lc9TNR2_ZMQWHS0KGgcxtM4pmqepetGHkTLdAdeX4qIXALM_BOU7rCxyY0KMlH1jdQfVVm2LXAh1z_KjCLQp-MpPawMIRqzJJA_Y6OcPKpL85jtKm2xe3zdnyyM/s160/IMG_3188.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br />Monday April 20th was a very exciting and happy day for us!!!! Dustin and Kim brought home a speical gift from their visit to Kentucky.....they pulled it out of their gift bag and handed it to us....and it was unmistakenly two baby onesies.....one Kentucky Blue and one White with the UK logo on them.....tied with a blue and white polka dot ribbon and a little note inside for us to read!!! This had been left lying on the bed where Dustin and Kim would be sleeping while on their visit. They (Dustin and Kim) are expecting their third boy in July...and his name will be Collin.... and so the note said: <em>"Uncle Dustin & Aunt Kim, Thank you for visiting me at the graveside in Richfield. You are the best aunt and uncle ever! I am so excited for you to meet Collin. He will also have a cousin coming to join my family at the end of October! I'm sure they'll be pals. Enjoy your trip with my mom and dad. Love and Miss You, BRANSON"<br /><br /></em>Natalie and Rob had asked them to share this with us as our surprise and so that we would know. Unbeknowst to us Dustin had hooked them up to web-cam so they were watching the whole thing and that was fun too cause they got to see our reactions and talk to us immediately! We laughed and cried and are so excited. They are expecting the end of October and so that is great because Dustin and Kim's baby and theirs will only be three months apart! IT"S A MIRACLE AND IT WAS ANGEL BRANSON WATCHING OVER THEM THAT HELPED IT TO HAPPEN SO FAST AND ANSWERS TO LOTS OF PRAYERS!!<br /><div style="CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div>Jackie A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00717360258524569397noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721411248639883634.post-54724503887615902372009-03-29T20:07:00.002-06:002009-03-29T20:15:41.349-06:00Fishlake in the Fall<div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><blockquote><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPd1H7LYv8zajLRTmTqzFcqh8Ue6Blc26ew9tIGYESovoSi5N4l6Nx1NMOYyKFjMvIb2mySivrd8HNcyTvOL8EtOkYYq8OynWz48rBrddIOBD6xbovdYX2ID1GA2oZbiTuY43SxwOpess/s1600-h/IMG_0903.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPd1H7LYv8zajLRTmTqzFcqh8Ue6Blc26ew9tIGYESovoSi5N4l6Nx1NMOYyKFjMvIb2mySivrd8HNcyTvOL8EtOkYYq8OynWz48rBrddIOBD6xbovdYX2ID1GA2oZbiTuY43SxwOpess/s1600-h/IMG_0903.jpg"></blockquote><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPd1H7LYv8zajLRTmTqzFcqh8Ue6Blc26ew9tIGYESovoSi5N4l6Nx1NMOYyKFjMvIb2mySivrd8HNcyTvOL8EtOkYYq8OynWz48rBrddIOBD6xbovdYX2ID1GA2oZbiTuY43SxwOpess/s160/IMG_0903.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="color:#990000;">Fishlake in the Fall...we always have to have one trip there to see the beautiful leaves </span><span style="color:#990000;">and enjoy the last nice days of Fall.

It's a good thing they got after it quite early because by the late afternoon most of the snow had pretty much disappeared...cause of it being a little warmer than in mid winter. But all it all it was a great time and the kids were all so good and played so good together.

We went on an Alaska Cruise with our 3 married children and their spouses. It was<span style="font-size:130%;"> WONDERFUL</span>!! We got the opportunity to do this because of our<span style="font-size:130%;"> PREMIER TOURS</span> company and having 36 people who wanted to cruise with us. That has been such a wonderful thing for us because of all of the people who love to travel with us from our <span style="font-size:130%;">CHURCH HISTORY TOURS</span>. They have such fun that they want us to do other travel and we love to do it. <span style="font-size:180%;">CHECK OUT OUR NEW BLOG FOR</span> OUR TRAVEL .......<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">premiertours.blogspot.com</span></strong>. I'm still working on getting it all set up, but it will be a fun place to hear about our trips, and what we've got coming up.<br /><br />Anyway, back to the Alaska Cruise! It was super in every way and so many great memories made from it. We had a fabulous time and had great food, great entertainment, great shore excursions, beautiful scenery all the way, and just fun being together. It will be a lifetime memory for all of us. The guys got into playing shuffleboard and they had so much fun doing that. The girls enjoyed relaxing, relaxing, and relaxing some more! We especiallly enjoyed all of the wonderful food!!! Non stop eating on cruises...and that's what we were good at.Jackie A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00717360258524569397noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721411248639883634.post-423677381447876402009-02-08T20:13:00.000-07:002009-02-18T06:12:01.076-07:00Devin Teaching SeminaryWell, the first thing I need to catch up on is the experience we had going to watch DEVIN teach SEMINARY at Timp View High School. It was so fun! We went up for the day for Gordon's work Christmas party and made it in time to go watch Devin teach one of his classes. It it was great to see him at work and his great way with the kids and the way that they responded to him and liked him so much. He taught a great lesson and the kids were very responsive. Seminary teaching sure was a great experience for Devin. He loved it. As an update however, he wasn't chosen to come back and teach after the Christmas Holidays. They are eliminating down and he didn't make the cut. He said a lot of it was probably because he wasn't married yet and he can't be hired by the seminary program if he's not married. Well, he took it really well and is giving this last semester at BYU his all and is doing really good with his classes and grades and is awaiting a decision about where he'll be invited to attend grad school in Audiology. So GOOD LUCK Devin and WE'RE ALL CHEERING FOR YOU!!!<br /><div><embed src="http://widget-d2.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=2882303761539481810&site=widget-d2.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2882303761539481810&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d2.slide.com/p1/2882303761539481810/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2882303761539481810&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d2.slide.com/p2/2882303761539481810/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2882303761539481810&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d2.slide.com/p4/2882303761539481810/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Jackie A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00717360258524569397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721411248639883634.post-12581240938990604022009-01-24T07:56:00.000-07:002009-01-24T08:00:45.551-07:00It's Been A Long Time<span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">Well, 2009 is here and I've not posted since the middle of November. I'm changing that though because I made a New Years resolution to do it more and better this year. I am the worst at Journal writing and I always have said that my pictures and my memories are my journal, but since they have created blogs I plan to use this as a way to actually write down some things about our lives. Surprise to anyone that knows me very well. I many times think that computers and much of this technology were invented for us to be able to do so many of those kind of things that we otherwise wouldn't do, so here goes!<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span></span>Jackie A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00717360258524569397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721411248639883634.post-10394920420037329312008-11-16T19:51:00.000-07:002008-11-16T20:10:58.893-07:00Fall Is Winding DownWell the last post was about Ryan's football season and now it's all over with and Ryan is done with high school foot ball forever and we're done too cause he's the baby. Unless one of the grandsons plays, then we'll get to enjoy it again. The team did make it to the playoffs and won their first playoff game against So. Summit on their home field and so that was exciting!! Then we went to Blanding to play and they hadn't lost a game all year and so we tried, but weren't able to win that game and it was a pretty bad loss. But Ryan had a great year all in all and did a great job and had lots of good plays and experiences. Now he'll have more time to do the things he wants to do and concentrate on school and other fun things. We enjoy having him in our home and the good times we all have together. We will be awfully lonesome when he goes off to college and then his mission next year.Jackie A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00717360258524569397noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721411248639883634.post-4988945496945046112008-10-19T21:03:00.000-06:002008-10-19T21:12:55.266-06:00Ryan Football Fall 2008<div><embed src="http://widget-e3.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=2882303761531005411&site=widget-e3.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2882303761531005411&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e3.slide.com/p1/2882303761531005411/bb_t042_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2882303761531005411&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e3.slide.com/p2/2882303761531005411/bb_t042_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2882303761531005411&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-e3.slide.com/p4/2882303761531005411/bb_t042_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br />It's the Senior Season for Ryan and quite a nostalgic time for mom and dad too knowing our last child is having all of his senior moments and then moving on with life and leaving us as empty nesters. Football season is always fun and Ryan's been doing great and having lots of fun. He's had his picture in the local paper a couple of times and so even though we've lost a few games its still been fun.</span>Jackie A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00717360258524569397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721411248639883634.post-26771841412792963962008-06-15T16:37:00.000-06:002008-12-10T22:10:29.004-07:00Father's Day Weekend<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIOW5DAojBQKKoR96ZP1089bcJAL0wwXkEYIe40uiYWog4h1h3NJSwU7dulmPKPZFntqoUrCI8wSVzyTy-i8jlpb6xLcGMZXqBvXNENi75J31emJqBDLn7SuAV22UECSwJWN3zeAnMG5A/s1600-h/IMG_2823.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212248076327743378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIOW5DAojBQKKoR96ZP1089bcJAL0wwXkEYIe40uiYWog4h1h3NJSwU7dulmPKPZFntqoUrCI8wSVzyTy-i8jlpb6xLcGMZXqBvXNENi75J31emJqBDLn7SuAV22UECSwJWN3zeAnMG5A/s320/IMG_2823.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-i9dRJ66Inae-8VWg03uDA34fqRd6qlF_t5i6CnqAjEnqhqreh3FuCLp8vIYGmqBhM3Czl6Hi25iJONLbhuapL8EKp5RXY2c5L4VyYtOhkjI7rFGn-UMH8tnQV6xXr_7wcyB41nOWpo/s1600-h/IMG_2841.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212248084196501458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt-i9dRJ66Inae-8VWg03uDA34fqRd6qlF_t5i6CnqAjEnqhqreh3FuCLp8vIYGmqBhM3Czl6Hi25iJONLbhuapL8EKp5RXY2c5L4VyYtOhkjI7rFGn-UMH8tnQV6xXr_7wcyB41nOWpo/s320/IMG_2841.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmIda3RErqPlMooOzNAJSaNn0a7YFZ-z2LWwz1gLcRDN3x_sLXQvXGNKpMbbG1B_ZdD9_oyHycwDdNj6OmI9In-Q8IIWJuFjxIK-hiM2nBNgeLADL_h3161S1UaKArduPrkix4Fgp1RzI/s1600-h/IMG_2832.JPG"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitbcrlLWUbQMF8zW7Hn3Zm4utVTuw_8bKswSjSYFqUusYW3_VWXgKi3ya7d-dDjupcqZzN8aVtMvbSpuAsD0wIFho-uvclI0-QUsL6RX4EP9tj2QYKx46HId_t4dK-ZiGtw4AeYl1KYX4/s1600-h/IMG_2815.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212245748424746674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitbcrlLWUbQMF8zW7Hn3Zm4utVTuw_8bKswSjSYFqUusYW3_VWXgKi3ya7d-dDjupcqZzN8aVtMvbSpuAsD0wIFho-uvclI0-QUsL6RX4EP9tj2QYKx46HId_t4dK-ZiGtw4AeYl1KYX4/s320/IMG_2815.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center">This weekend for father's day we went with our family to Yuba lake.
