Oldies!

I got my hands on all the old slides that my parents took when I was a kid...Wow! there are some good ones!! Marcus has helped me scan them and put them on the computer. I am planning to get them all scanned and put on a DVD for my family. Here are just a few to give you a taste. Don't laugh too much!!
Not sure when this one was taken, approx. 1970.

Richard and Martin with Grandad..."Grandad's Army"

Trafalgar Square, feeding the pigeons. Kelti was shocked at how short my dress was. She told me I was immodest! I had to have a talk with my Mum about that...she made the dress. lol!

I didn't like the pigeon sitting on my head!!

Four Generations - My Mum, Great-gran, Nana, & me.

These were taken on our first trip back to England after we immigrated to Canada. I was 5 years old.

Update!

It has been so long since I have blogged...life has taken over! This year has gone so fast. I can't believe that it is April already. Here is a look at what we have been up to...
The keiki (little girls) from our hula group competed in a dance competition in St. George this spring. We had a great weekend away in the sun!...shopping, swimming, dancing, and having fun with the girls. They did so well and took first place.





Grandma and Grandpa came to help us finish the basement. They brought a surprise for Kelti...Wackily Jackily! Kelti was pretty sick the day they arrived, but nothing like a bff to brighten your day!


Mum and Dad got tickets to General Conference. It was really nice to go with them and take the kids. It was Kiana's first time to an event at the Conference Center.





Kelti performed a Tahitian dance at her school's multi-cultural event. I am very proud of her. She never gets nervous to perform hula, but she was pretty nervous to dance for her peers.


Mitchell's latest past-time is BMX biking with his friends. They have built a jump on a vacant lot over by the lake. They spend hours there.

Mitchell spent Spring Break with a friend up at a cabin. He had a great time snowmobiling,quading and sledding. Good times!

Christmas Holidays!

Another Christmas come and gone...and another new year! Wow, where does the time go?!! I must be getting old or something! We had a great Christmas this year. We went home to Canada to be with our family. It was a lot of fun! The Leaney's are always a bunch of nuts!!

Christmas morning

We stayed with Marcus' parents for the week and did a lot of driving between there and my parents. It has been nice that the two families have different traditions in celebrating Christmas. Marcus' family celebrates Christmas eve (German tradition) and my family is always Christmas day.

Christmas eve dinner

The kids had so much fun with their cousins, skating, hockey, Wii, sledding, skeet shooting, and just hanging out!




Leaving is always hard, but even Emma had a melt-down this time! It was so sad to see.
We hope everyone had a great Christmas and wish you all a wonderful New Year!

Happy Thanksgiving

Now that's a manly meal!!! Sure thankful I have my boy!...but could he please eat some veggies?! At least we know where his priorities are.
We had a great Thanksgiving. We have been so lucky to have either family or friends to celebrate with since we moved to Utah. It would suck if we had to spend the holidays without them! I am very grateful!!

Halloween!

Here's a couple of pictures of our halloween celebrations!



Good times were had by all! Emma changed costumes between the party and trick or treating. She wanted to stay warm for trick or treating, but then got too hot and started peeling off the costume. What a kid!!

I'm Six!

Emma was so excited for her birthday. She counted sleeps for over a week. She even tried to speed it up by counting 2 sleeps at a time. Funny girl!!
For her party, she wanted to go to a movie like we did last year. I was totally on board with that...it made my life easy! A good time was had by all and another birthday success!!

Great Times with Great Friends!

I always enjoy an great evening, doing great things, especially with great friends!
