FALL BREAK

One of the great advantages to living in Arizona, is fall break. I had a week off from school and didn't go anywhere! Carl and Megan went on a belated anniversary trek to New York City, and I got to babysit Aidan. We had a fun four days together. We went for walks, 'talked,' and hung out. Dan also 'celebrated' his '78 Land Cruiser's birthday on October 9. Don't ask him about certain birthdays, but he knows the day he bought his toy. He is finally giving it a much needed overhaul. Right now he is working on containing/controlling the incredible amount of rust. He is putting in new seats and enjoying his hours of 'tinkering.' I'm looking forward to riding in it again.

scaring his grandkids!

Daddy Carl loves New York!

90th birthday

My dad Wendell Eyring celebrated his 90th birthday on Tuesday, September 23. He has been a great example to our family. We learned to love the gospel and love our Savior because of the life that my parents lived. Here are a few pictures of him with the family he loves-- a family of about 200 descendants!

Here is my attempt to add something to my blog without any help. I will attempt to put some of the group shots from the August 10 blessing of grandsons Timothy and Aidan. We'll see what happens. I can't really figure out the placement for labeling the pictures, but I think you get the right idea.
Here are the names by family:
Bryant & Vanessa: Jacob, Celeste, Hannah, Aaron, Timothy
Carl & Megan: Aidan
Russell & Nicole: Aubrey
Jennifer & Matt: Apollo, Jasmine (not pictured)

PLEASING MY DAUGHTER IS TOUGH

Jennifer thinks I should join the 21st century crowd, so here goes. I have no idea what I am doing, but what else is new! Here goes. . . . . . .

Here are the seven grandkiddies. Photo taken August 10, 2007, on the day Timothy and Aidan were blessed by their fathers Bryant and Carl.
