Thanksgiving 2015

Yup this is happening!!!

Birthday party for everyone

My crazy family

District Drama

Kinlee was also in drama this trimester and they won District Drama and her team was able to move onto the state level.  She is doing such a great job at all that she is working on in High School and we are so super proud of her.  This is a article in the local newspaper and it has her name in it.  Yeah!!  Go Kinlee.

Kinlee's dinner concert

These pictures are not very clear, but this is what you get when you ask someone else to do your picture taking for you.  Kinlee's choir did a concert-dinner to raise money for their class with their new teacher.  Mom came to the dinner with me the first night and I should have taken picture then, but we were eating and the food was amazing.  Night 2 I was helping in the kitchen so Jerika took these pictures.  Kinlee did a great job and she really loves to sing and I think she likes the new choir teacher too.  She had to try out to be in the choir this year and the did a great job and made it.  Next year she has to sing something that isn't "popular" but classical.  We will see what she comes up with.  We are super proud of her and what she has accomplished with her singing.

The many faces of the cutest baby in the world

Tyler & Molly's Sealing

I wish I could properly articulate the words going on in my head when we were at the temple this day.  It was most definitely a parent's dream come true.  There were a lot of tears shed in the temple, so many it is hard to name all the emotions associated these tears. Needless to say we couldn't be more proud of Tyler and the change he has made in his life.  We do credit some of this change to our precious daughter in law, Molly.

We love these 2 more than words can describe and we are so proud of all they have accomplished this year.  And they made us grandparents too, which is a pretty big deal and as Jerika would say, "I am not even mad about it." 

Tyler was also recently called to they 11 year old scouts and he has also lead the music in Sacrament meeting.  Their ward is super lucky to have these 2 amazing people.

Halloween

The day after Garth was Halloween so we got up early and headed for home we did stop at Maddox for lunch but then it was homeward bound.  As soon as I got home I headed back to Idaho Falls to pick up the grandkids.  Tyler and Molly had been working the whole month of October in a haunted house, so we got to have the kids a few nights overnight.  Kinlee was supposed to watch them the whole month, which she did except for when she hurt her ankle and couldn't walk, let alone carry the baby. So, we picked them up and then went to visit grandpa at work and then headed to my moms for the evening.  Liam loves playing with Nakia's boys and they had a lot of fun.  After we left there, we came home and while I watched tv the dog and Keegan fell asleep on my bed.  I thought it was super cute so I took pictures, even Jake loves that cute baby.   

Garth LIVE

Here are just a few of the MANY pictures I took.  I also took several videos that I keep going back to watch too.  The concert didn't actually start until after 11:30 and didn't get over until after 2:30.  To say it was amazing isn't even giving him credit.  We stood almost the whole time and sang like crazy.  I even think my parents enjoyed the evening also.  He sang all his old songs and a few of his new ones and him and Trisha sang together.  I am willing to go out a limb here and say that it was the best $75 I have ever spent.  I LOVED IT!!!

Waiting

So my apps on my phone and my tablet are not working and it is really stressing me out.  A lot of my pictures are backed up on Google photos and it won't let me put them on my blog.  I don't know what is going on, but it is giving me serious anxiety.  Anyway, these are pictures from my actual camera that I downloaded to my computer.  It is so old school.

The concert was supposed to start at 10:30 but this is what the venue looked like at that time.  So needless to say the concert didn't start until 11:30, which was late but didn't make it any less amazing.  We had really good seats, except for that pole right there, but it wasn't enough to cause issues with my view.

Kelsie took a much better selfie of us but of course it is on my google photos.  So, here is one of us anxiously waiting.

This is right before it started.  I will do one last Garth post, hopefully I can get my other pictures to work, if not I still have the memories.
