Hayden's Birthday Dinner

Kari generously treated us all to a Happy Birthday celebration at 

Tucanos Brazilian Grill for Hayden's 18th birthday.  Nummy and fun.

Linda Parry, Doug's Wife, Dies

At 1:03 a.m. this morning Linda was able to be released from her cancer-ridden body.

She has joined her granddaughter, Rylee, her parents and other loved ones in the spirit world.

She always liked Cherie so I am hoping they have a pleasant reunion.

Doug loved it when she would travel with him.  I'm not so sure she loved it as much.

She was a student of the scriptures, read them and a Conference talk every day.

She was a gifted teacher, especially when it came to illustrating a point with a story.

I have known her for 38 years through thick and thin.  I miss her great laugh.

Her breakfast every morning was Diet Coke and M&M's.

She used to get up at 5:00 a.m. once a week to clean the house. It was immaculate.

Her children - Craig, Sean, Andrew, Andrea, Becky and Sara - are amazing.

This was taken on Linda & Doug's 40th wedding anniversary.

After Doug left the practice of law the two of them went on a mission to Hong Kong.

Actually, he didn't leave practicing law, for in Hong Kong he was a lawyer for the Church.

Linda's funeral was very nice -- just as she had planned it.

Chantel and Governor Herbert

Governor Herbert said, "I am a better Governor because I was a realtor."  

Chantel travels in the best circles.

Conference Breakfast

Our family, many of the Mott family and some of Chantel's friends enjoyed the delicious breakfast, the love of each other and the counsel and encouragement of prophets and apostles as well as the music of General Conference.  

I feel so fortunate that I can watch Conference again within two days and add to the notes I took while listening to the messages to inspire me to improve.  I love technology!
