More Hawaii Fun

Y
Not sure what the order of these pictures are going to be...I'm a very new blogger! So I will just tell you about them and you can figure out which is which! I truly snorkeled, who would have ever thought, yes, I needed a life jacket as well as Jan's total support, but I still did it. I also went out in the ocean, by myself, without a life vest or a friend, look at me, I was about 5 feet back...proof, my arms are out of the water!
We went to Turtle Beach, and sure enough, HUGE turtle at bay!

My friend Jan Jordan went with us. We left at 3 a.m. and this was hours after we had been traveling and just arrived in Honolulu. I was so excited to see Hawaii. I will add more pictures that show how much I loved it. I couldn't get enough of it!

Trip to Disneyland with Cameron and his High School Band

I was lucky enough to be one of the chaperone's for Cam's High School Band Summer trip this year. We rode buses, went to Disneyland, Six Flags, did a parade in some little town, spent a day in Santa Cruse at the beach and did a lot of other fun little things along the way. We had a really great time. Bus ride and all. And yes, this is a picture of me with Cam on a roller coaster ride at six flags. I was not smiling when I got off, so good we got the picture in the beginning.

The picture with me and my friend Teri Dunlop is at the gates as we left Disneyland.

Papa Todd And Jr at Chandra's wedding

Todd's grandmother was laid to rest

My dearest grandmother past away at 94 years old. I loved her and she meant the world to me it was hard to see her go I will miss her. I remmber all the thing she taught me as a young man by her great wisdom and love for her grand children. Here is her small house, one that was not too big and fancy but full of love and laughter and always welcome to whom ever walked through the doors. I was proud to be able to carry her to her final resting place until we meet again I love you.

Look out hawaii

As well all know Nedra took Kenzie to Hawaii to start Her college life at school. They both had a great time and a life long memories of that experience.

What makes a man what he is?
Is it the worst thing he has ever done?
Or the best thing he wants to be?
When you find yourself in the middle of your life ,

and you’re no where near where you’re going,
how do you find your way from the person you become,
to the one you know you could have been?

Love my snow bunny

Pike Place Maket

We Went up to Seattle for Nedras company Christmas Party. Had lots of fun.

I'm going to be a blogger too!
I have 500 pictures to choose from, so I'm starting with what is on the camera right now!


Cameron, Todd and I went to watch Kenzie play powder puff football. This is a cute picture but doesn't show that it was about 20 degrees and very foggy! We could hardly see each other and they hung in there for the whole game.



Kara and Nick came into town...so we pulled as many together as we could to meet Grandma Ned for her lunch at McDonald's! Pretty darn fun.














Thanksgiving 2007... was a bit of a challenge to take this picture. You can only imagine what we were going through to get everyone to stay in one place. Nick was trying pretty hard to set the camera and run back in place... this was as good as we could get, but it was pretty darn funny!



Baby Grant's 1st trip to the Christmas tree farm. Grandma Ned at her peek of happiness dragging everyone around singing "follow me, kids follow me....we're off to go and get our Christmas Tree!"
4 of the 5 grand kids having dinner...yes mac and cheese at Grandma's house on the kids table.

Happiness is wisdom and wisdom is the intelligence of all our being coming alive. If we try to make a decision with only our head, heart, or hormones, we are missing important data. Wise decisions come when we have a committee meeting of our heart, mind and intuition and the power of the Holy Ghost.

Happiness may seem illusive or fleeting, yet there is a path that we can walk that brings the delight passion and sweetness of the happiness into our lives, sweeping over us and making us feel worth the effort and trouble.

What path is this? The gospel of Jesus Christ.

Some of the barriers to happiness are pent up in grief, sorrow, anger, and jealousness. We can open ourselves to happiness but you cannot grab it, hold on to it, or force it to come.

What a wonderful wife, I love her so much . Isn't she the most beautiful thing you see?
