Thanksgiving in the Valley






We had Thanksgiving at Tony's new place. We includes us, Mom and Dad, Gma Zola, Tony & kids and Rianne & Koay & kids. We ate well thanks to Mom - even transporting 3 hours. We played Gma's favorite card game and the kids totally enjoyed each other.

Jeff needs some rest



I think the college late nights are catching up with Jeff

The Boyz in the Hood




These guys cruise by quite often. We just want them to stay off our grass!

Nov 2008 Gratitude, Faith and Prayers


CRAZY TAYLOR



Estella took these self portraits with dad's cell phone in ER
This Thanksgiving we are especially grateful that Estella was not seriously injured in the head-on collision. We were able to visit her friend, Taylor, again today and are grateful for the progress she has made. She had been in a coma (partial induced) until Tuesday (9 days). She gave us a wave. We aren't out of the woods as the therapy and continued recovery will take a lot of time. Please remember her in your prayers.

Love to all of you. Drive Safe and BUCKLE UP!

The morning we left to escort J-Dog down to EA, he had to have one last gratis buzz. I am sure he will appreciate my posting this. ;}

Aug 2008 Welcome to Cell Block EAC


So Jefferson is off to his BIG college adventure. We hope he doesn't miss us too much and get homesick. Sniff, Sniff.

June 2008 Meanwhile back at the ranch - a year later

May 2008 Look out EAC

Well in case you haven't heard, Jefferson will be going to EAC in Thatcher. The counselor at the high school, Jeff Udall (the elder, old guy, senior etc) found out that the SUU scholarship was not what it appeared to be. However "Jeffy" qualified for a full ride - tuition, room, meals to EA for 2 years. He is going to look at the powerplant certification so if all else fails after 2 years there, he could come home, work at the plant and save up for 2 years more. We were looking forward to having to come to Utah and see him and the rest of y'all. Oh well.
PS He just had his wisdom teeth out this week. Does that mean he isn't as smart as he was?

May 2008 We're Finally Done With Him





Jeff finally made it. We were worried about him in Kindergarten.

April 2008 Prom












Jefferson 's Prom!
They went rappelling and his date got really sunburned - her arms are as red as her dress. He was such a ladies man that the other fellows decided to beat him up.
