Less than 4 months to go—Disney here we come!!!!!

admin July 16th, 2008

Hey- We have less than 4 months before we go to Disneyland. Remember to save a bit for your food and shuttle service. we will let you know as it gets closer , how much the shuttle will be for you. We will fly jet blue and stay at the Portifino Inn and Suites and we will get you into Disneyland.(4- day pass).  once you get in, you are on your own. We won’t bug you, but we will want to meet up with you once in a while for a dinner here and there or a show. After all we are going to be there as a family. We realize that not everyone will want to do things at the same time, everyone has there favorite part and there own schedules for naps and diaper changes and when you get hungry ect….. so you can do whatever you need to do once we get in. You can go to your rooms to nap or recharge for the night or what ever you need to do . We just want to touch basis once in a while. We will have a blast, hope you are all excited about it as we are. The first day we get there  will be the day to do something other than disneyland. We could do beach or swim at the hotel, whatever. We start Disneyland Tuesday - Friday. Then we leave Saturday late afternoon. Check out time though is about 11;00. Starting next month, I will be sending out little exciting notes to your homes to  keep everyone informed of everything. The day we fly out we will have a packet for each family. it will include things for the kids to do on the plane and snacks for the plane, rooms,……. Talk to you later. love Mom and Dad  xoxoxo  Ps  Well now if you read this I would like you to call me or email me to let me know. i am beginning to think that I might now continue this, because I never hear from most of you. I have heard from Amy and natalie a couple of times and Daniel once and that is after three  years of doing this. The first two years were hard copies in the mail.

We went to Pa’s Rugby game last saturday and it was fun to see him play. he’s pretty good . He made a goal . He was pretty tired. he had already run a 5 k at our ward’s breakfast and he was pretty tired to begin with then that game. They lost by one point, but it was a good game. You guys ought to try to go to one or two of them. He would love it.  Good job Pa.!!!

Primary Secretary

admin July 7th, 2008

well yesterday was a special day for me. I was called to be the Primary secretary. That was nice, but the special part was that your Father was able to set me apart, since he is in the bishopric. It was a very touching and special moment for me. I felt the spirit very strongly. Your father is a very wonderful person. i love him so much and we have a great family. We are blessed.
