Mom & Dad's Anniversary

62 years ago today Mom and Dad were married in the Salt Lake Temple.  Their wedding reception was at the Garden Park Ward - the happening place at that time.

Mom's dress was beautiful - Dad was handsome in his Tux.  My grandparents looked amazing.  The entire wedding party looked wonderful!

They had eight great kids....and now have a posterity totalling almost 60 with many more to come.  They taught us right from wrong  - they knew when to push and when to hold back - they held their tongue when they needed to.  Dad would always send Mom roses on their anniversary.  On her birthday, he would go to the Tall Shop (yes she was tall) and the women there would help him choose the latest fashions for her.  Mom made sure they looked good when they went out - usually with coordinated outfits. 

Mom and Dad are a great story....Today if you were to talk to Dad about Mom he would get tears in her eyes - he loves and misses her so much.  They were a couple! 

Even though Mom left us two years ago, we are together forever as a family! 

Tennis Groupies

Parker had his first two tennis matches this week. 

He is playing Varsity #2 doubles.

They lost to Skyline and beat Cottonwood.

Tennis is a sport that doesn't have a huge following and not much cheering goes on.

UNLESS

you are Parker Wood and...

Your "groupies" come watch and cheer - or drive by the courts - and shout your name!

February is in the Books

February 2013 is now in the books.  So what happened?

**Meranda celebrated eight months in the mish.  Only 10 more Fast Sundays and she will be home.

**Winter was still here during February...cold and snowy most of the month.

**Short day trip to St. George to watch softball and Parker's future wife...Ivy Renfroe pitcher for Tennessee.  Trip down was good - games were cold - watched BYU vs. Tennessee, Utah vs. Seattle, Weber vs. Arkansas.  Trip back was not so good - snow most of the way and we finally arrived home at 2:00 A.M. 

**Booked trip to Disneyland - will be there the end of March!

**Hired contractor to start on Phase 1 of basement project - finish room in basement and add additional storage.

**HHS Parent Teacher Conference - always a fun time....

**Spoke (Evan and Cindy) in Sacrament meeting  - topic of personal/family/ward history.  Sometimes I am good at this..sometimes I'm not.

**Followed HHS Basketball team - Region  2 Champs - going undefeated!  Willie is the enforcer! The team is really fun to watch.  I have never seen so many dunks in high school games!

**Got a new ward calling - NURSERY LEADERS............

**Went to Weber State to watch HHS Basketball in State Tourney (me, Geneil, Parker) - they lost....

**Went to Allen Rasmussen's funeral - Dad spoke and gave an amazing talk.  Allen was a good person - I think I've known him almost my whole life.....

**Got backed into by some ditsy girl in Smith's parking lot. 

**Parker started Tennis - well actually they started snow removal to get the tennis courts ready.

So there you go!!!!!
