Michele's Senior Ball

2009-04-19T18:52:00.001-07:00

This is Michele's last highschool dance. She loves getting all dolled up.:)

Preference for Michele

2009-02-21T09:40:00.000-08:00

Michele got biggest flirt, and is going to the dance with Robert who also got biggest flirt. Mark also got biggest flirt when he was in high school. Its kind of funny

Mark's Christmas

2008-11-23T16:12:00.001-08:00

Thanks to all those who contributed to the mass of letters for Mark. We ended up with 28 letters that I wrapped like presents. I also sent him this cute little tree. I think he will love it!

I tried to take a picture of it, but accidently ended up with a video. Hey, at least you can see the cute lights on the tree!!
We are so grateful for the love and support that Mark has received while serving his mission.

Homecoming Dance for Michele

2008-09-30T14:07:00.000-07:00

Jessie took these pictures--they are way better than mine--Michele agrees. Its hard to believe this will be the last homecoming dance I will help (fixing dresses, picking up flowers, hair, and taking pictures) with. Its kind of sad really. She has a funny story, the other day she was in the shower getting ready for school and there is a little brown thing on the shower floor--not thinking to much she pushes it with the water towards the drain and proceeds to wash her hair. Only after that she looks down to see the brown thing has legs and is quite a large wolf spider. She jumps out of the shower screaming. I know it was serious--but I had a hard time not laughing when she told me. I guess I need to spray for bugs again.

Chase and Tally in the front yard

2008-09-08T19:32:00.001-07:00

Jessie was in St George for an extended visit, while Matthew was back east. It was so much fun--I loved seeing them everyday.

What about Ella

2008-09-08T19:27:00.000-07:00

Don't you love the pioneer clothes she picked out herself? This was a fun place for the kids to play--but it was stiffling hot. I know I was there.

The Butterfly museum

2008-09-08T19:22:00.000-07:00

The butterflies were amazing--Mark is trying for the perfect picture of one. Dallin is just enjoying the ride.

More with the Nelson family

2008-09-08T19:19:00.001-07:00

As you can see, we were having too much fun. Paul tried to sit Dallin the hole in the tree.

Visit with Paul, Kate, and kidos

2008-09-08T19:13:00.000-07:00

Paul and Kate rented a mini-van and we went to Navoou. Kate and Dallin are in a childrens area. And Mark and Kate had just come from a session at the temple. Paul watched the little ones--so we could go. It was definitly a highlight.

Ava is a cutie

2008-09-08T19:11:00.001-07:00

I got one of Ava sleeping with the blanket over her head.

More of our visit with Matt and Sara and mostly Ava

2008-09-08T18:56:00.001-07:00

It was raining like I've never seen (there was a tornado watch) Ava loved it. And she likes dressing up.

Matt and Sara's house

2008-09-08T18:51:00.000-07:00

Mark wanted to visit all his sisters before he left on his mission--to see all his nieces and nephews, and brother's. Ava really liked him.

Matt and Lori's new house

2008-09-08T18:48:00.001-07:00

When we got to the new house in Logan--Maya needed a bath, but the tub was not the cleanest so the sink was the next best thing.

Finally we are out of there--Logan or bust:)

2008-09-08T18:43:00.000-07:00

I was amazed at how many tools and machinery Matt had as you can see the van is nearly full. This was only the first load. When we were driving to Logan Maya was asleep in her carseat with blankets and pillows.

more of the move with Maya

2008-09-08T18:39:00.001-07:00

Maya was so funny for this move--she does love her bed--we took it down to the platform but she knew it was still her bed.

Matt and Lori's move to Logan

2008-09-08T18:31:00.000-07:00

While were moving we took time out to visit family--sorry this is so late--but I thought I lost these photos. I know Summer this is before you had your baby. It was a really yummy lunch--especially the choclate cake.

Marks Farewell

2008-06-25T21:11:00.000-07:00

I thought I would let everyone know that Marks Farewell is on July 13th at 9:30am. All is welcome to come and hear him speak. There will be a light brunch provided afterwards.

He then reports to the MTC on July 16th at 12:00pm.

2008-01-25T17:56:00.000-08:00

Michele, Braxton, and Kyla went to McDonalds

2008-01-25T17:49:00.000-08:00

Is Mark quilting?

2007-12-24T17:17:00.000-08:00

As it turns out Mark is a man of many qualities. He has seen many of the his sisters doing quilts. So basically if they could do it--so could he. :)

This is one of the few times Maya was happy.
