HEARTS for Haiti

My girlfriend and I through our business, http://theflourgirls.netalong with our local scout group have come up with a plan for the boys to help with the people of Haiti

Though you cannot participate unless in the local area please feel free to come up with your own original idea to help our friends in Haiti.

Wedding....oh what a night

My Sister, Melissa had a wonderful wedding. Everything about it was Melissa. Relaxed, fun, simply decorated, What a great night!

Melissa and Kevin met and he won the hearts of each of us. (with a little 'Faith') ...They are a great little family...one with hopes and dreams we all pray will come true!

Christmas

Christmas was nice and quiet yet we seemed to pack in lots of fun!
We started Christmas early bacause my parents were leaving to go off to Arizona,Utah,Samoa.







The Boyz and I participated in a play - 'A Night In Bethlehem'.We were invited to a great family Home Evening night at friends of ours (what a fun tradition) Then of course our adventure to Florida, followed by a fun Christmas Eve party at our home (for all our dear friends who do not have family in London)

Finishing off 2009 with a day of sledding and a potluck /games at the chapel. I feel like I have been on vacation for so long ....I don't want to get back into the 'real' world!

Christmas in Florida

The trip all started one Sunday evening, as we sat around discussing how much fun it would be to go on an adventure to Disney together ...before we knew it the flight was booked and dear friends arranged for us to stay at their timeshare. within a few days we found ourselves sitting on a flight to sunny Florida. It was a great flight, it makes the time 'fly' when traveling with friends.....



Our family outside of MGM studios

The boyz at honey we shrunk the kids playground area


One of my highlights, this was a cute little show outside of the Star Wars ride.
Jared and Aaron were glued to this show ...It was teaching the kids the moral of Star Wars ...how we need to fortify ourselves against Satan and how the priesthood will help in our life's journey. -my favourite comment was from Jared. He really could see the metaphor He really believed that is what they were teaching!

The days were full of Disney park adventures and the nights with swimming in the pool just outside our backdoor.
We visited MGM Disney and Blizzard beach,Downtown Disney with Disney Quest
(a gamers paradise) and Lego land
I have to apoligize, I have made a new years resolution to take more photos of our families experiences....I was having so much fun I forgot to pick up the camera to record the adventure.

Yummy!

Emma's culinary skills have been more advanced in resent months due to this wonderful course she is taking at school.
She and Jon have been cooking every Tues and Thursday for a while now and Emma has always had great confidence but through this course we have seen a lot more confidence and creativity .....which of course is benefiting our home cooked meals xoxoxo

Halloween

We have an amazing youth program here and the kids get along great.
We as parents are trying to encourage them to 'hang out' more ....so the weekend parties are frequent and full of adventure..... we will keep you posted on any future events of interest!

A Date with Nana and Papa

Emma is taking a hospitality and tourism class in high school; one of her assignments is to critic local restaurants so my parents thought it would be a great excuse to take her out on a special date.





Papa and Nana took Emma out on a date, what a wonderful night! They went to a beautiful resturant here in London called Micheal on the themes.
