After 2 years...Kameron has returned from his mission to Calgary, Canada. We had the big tearful welcome complete with balloons and signs made my his nieces and nephew. Wow, what a rush! Following the airport, we met with President Bangerter for his release. It was a neat meeting to sit and listen to Kam give a brief report of his mission to the Stake President. President Bangerter had some awesome things to say as well. I must say, it was alot more spirtual than I thought it would be. Then we took him home for his favorite dinner and dessert with the whole family. Now, we are transitioning him back into regular life...HaHaHa!

Wheels Up!

I mentioned the other day to someone that we had waited 2 years to go to the airport to see our son come off the plane having completed his mission but, I think we have really waited 21 years for this day. We have confirmed that he is in the air and we are all floating off the ground a little too! Check back for more pics of the event!

Butch Cassidy 5k

On Saturday Nov 1, Jana and Aubrey participated in the Butch Cassidy 5k run/walk. They went from the town of Springdale to the ghost town of Grafton. It was a beautiful morning for a walk and they did very well. They finished in under 60 minutes and Jana won a medal for second place in her division!

Is it a Trick or a Treat?

Halloween...we used to love the rush of getting costumes ready, carving pumpkins, and going trick or treating. It always seemed like so much fun because the kids loved it so much. The kids are older now and we can stay home on Halloween and pass out treats to the kids in the neighborhood. We also get to stay home and let everyone else bring their kids to our house. It us still fun but, alot less stress!

Golf Lovers!

What do you do on a beautiful fall weekend in St. George? Well, when your nest is almost empty...you look for opportunities to spend time together doing the things you love. On Saturday, we played golf early in the morning. The weather was perfect, the course was fabulbulos but, doing it togehter makes it perfect!

Still counting down...

For those of you who are wondering if we have a life outside of waiting for Kam to finish his mission...the answer is yes but, our preparations are taking up most of our time. He will stop at the Stake President's office on the way home from the airport and then it's home for his favorite meal...chicken pillows! Kam will be speaking in our ward on November 9th at 1:00pm...hope to see you there!

and counting...

2008-10-12T17:13:00.000-07:00

We are still on the countdown waiting for Kam to finish his mission. If you are reading our blog you may wonder if we have a life outside of wating for Nov. 6th. The answer is yes but getting things ready for him to come home is taking up most of our time. This is the banner that will be hanging on River Road and on the front of our house. He will go straight from the airport to the Stake President's office to be release. Then it is home for his favorite meal...chicken pillows! Kam will be speaking in our ward on November 9th at 1:00pm. Hope to see you there!

It's about time...

After we dropped Kameron off at the MTC, 23 months ago, we came home, washed his clothes, put them in a laundry basket, and stuck it in his room. We have had good intentions to clean up his room but we knew we had time. Well, 28 days from today, we are out of time. So Doug started hanging up his clothes and organizing his closet. 112 T-shirts later...it has finally come together. Incidently, we may be having a garage sale in 29 days and there should be no shortage of t-shirts! LOL!

All for a T-Shirt!

Well, last Saturday we were invaded by the crazy marathon runners and as luck would have it...one of our family members was among them. They brave the dark cold, rainy morning and a 20 mph headwind to run their hearts out. We showed up after 8+ hours of warm sleep and a full breakfast armed with coats and umbrellas. We waited and watched for Jana's sister Tracy to round the corner toward the finish line. By the time she got to us at the 25.5 mile mark, she was pretty well spent. Aubrey and Nacole couldn't help themselves so they ran out to motivate Tracy to finish strong. I think everyone there gets some sort of personal motivation just watching these runners complete the race. Don't take that wrong...many of us won't be doing it next year either! Congratulations Tracy we are proud of you!

The Wedding Weekend!

2008-09-29T16:05:00.000-07:00

Well, we survived our drive across Nevada. Doug, Jana and Aubrey set out from St. George to Fallon, NV for the wedding of Aubrey's best friend while we were in Virginia. Her name is Haley and her parents, Craig and Pat, are dear friends of Doug and Jana. So, knowing that, you know that we wanted to be there for the big day. It took us 7 1/2 hours to get there. We had to cross the expanses of the Nevada desert and militry test ranges via the Extra Terrestrial Highway. If there are Aliens out there, they can have that real estate! The wedding was great! There was alot of work already done and Pat had us added to her daily "To Do" list as soon as we arrived. We really enjoyed visiting with them while helping to prepare. It is nice to have such good friends and it is amazing how close we can get to them through the gospel and serving with one another. It was a long and rewarding weekend...Congratulations to Haley and Jason.

The long overdue update!

Well...we have certainly been busy! Over the labor day weekend, we went to SLC. Doug survived many hours at Swiss Days in Midway. (BTW this has very little to do with Switzerland according to our in-house expert!) On Sunday, Doug and Jana went to the conference center to watch Music and The Spoken Word. We were very impressed with the number of visitors and the program was as wonderful as expected! The following weekend, we took the boat out. As you can see from the picture, it was like being the captain of the love boat. Oh well, Doug beat up everyone pretty good pulling them on the tube. Today is p-day for our Kameron...which means he is at 7 weeks or 49 days...if you are counting. We are! It will be fun to have him home and to hear his stories.

Friends around the globe

The countdown is on!

As you can see from our ticker, we are counting down the days until Kameron comes home from his mission. The day we dropped him off at the MTC seemed like we would never see him again! Now, almost 2 years later, we can't believe how fast the time has flown by. Kameron, as some of you may know, isn't the most detailed writer but from what we can tell, he has had a very successful mission and is looking forward to coming home and starting a new chapter in his life. Check back and count down with us!

Kameron comes home!
