We went into the city and spent a few nights! We went to one of our favorite restaurants, Roy's, for dinner. Then we went to the broadway play "Wicked"! It was so good!

The next day John's parents, all of his siblings and their spouses were able to spend a beautiful day in the Draper Temple! It was so special! I hope and pray that someday I will be able to spend the day in the temple with my beautiful daughters! John's mom, Carolyn, is a wonderful person! I couldn't ask for a better mother in law!

It is a highly desired race. They accept 20,000 runners. This year they had 50,000 applicants! I ran it with two of my best friends, Michelle and Paula! The course is absolutely beautiful. How many races have Union Square, the Trans America Tower, Fisherman's Wharf, Koit Tower, Ghiradelli Square, The Golden Gate Bridge, The Presidio, The Marina, The Pacific Ocean, Golden Gate Park and the Beach on the course? Not to mention that at the finish line you are met by members of the San Francisco Fire Department holding silver platters with little blue boxes on them...that's right, Tiffany Pendants! To top it all off, my wonderful family was there to cheer me on and meet me at the finish line! Needless to say, it was AMAZING! I am really hoping to get to do it again next year! Kate and Alyssa are planning on joining me...I can't wait!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SyckRUPIVVI/AAAAAAAAAkA/Ge5P_icWMDA/s1600-h/DSCN3194.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SyckRUPIVVI/AAAAAAAAAkA/Ge5P_icWMDA/s400/DSCN3194.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415336956844856658" /></a>Yup...I'm Famous!

We spent the first week in Oahu with our friends the Mills. It was also great to spend time with Jared, Gina and Kai. <br /><br />On the first morning in Oahu "we got in our car, drove up to the North Shore, got in the water...in a cage and swam with sharks!" For those of you who don't know, sharks are the girls biggest fear (that and bees and clowns...go figure!). John and I had already gone in the shark cage on an earlier trip. We both knew immediately that we HAD to bring the girls to do it! We have awesome friends that wanted to do it with us. It was great as we had the boat to ourselves. It was so scary for the girls and Kate was literally screaming through her snorkel. She and Alyssa fought about who got to be on the side with the plexiglass and Abby was clinging to either me or John the whole time. After it was all said and done it was one of the best things we have done as a family. However, none of the girls would do it again...<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SvdyngqH_GI/AAAAAAAAASM/4EMRn84WH_8/s1600-h/IMG_8224.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SvdyngqH_GI/AAAAAAAAASM/4EMRn84WH_8/s400/IMG_8224.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401912301161282658" /></a>Alyssa with her best friend Amber. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SvdyoXAfw_I/AAAAAAAAASU/67FQcTo4snI/s1600-h/IMG_8225.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SvdyoXAfw_I/AAAAAAAAASU/67FQcTo4snI/s400/IMG_8225.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401912315750630386" /></a>Kate and Abby...starting to get nervous!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/Svdyow5CXkI/AAAAAAAAASc/XEk2KKMbXQA/s1600-h/IMG_8227.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/Svdyow5CXkI/AAAAAAAAASc/XEk2KKMbXQA/s400/IMG_8227.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401912322698665538" /></a>This is when the screaming started...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/Svdyphxas4I/AAAAAAAAASk/z4JcnX2VJTs/s1600-h/IMG_8228.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/Svdyphxas4I/AAAAAAAAASk/z4JcnX2VJTs/s400/IMG_8228.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401912335820043138" /></a>...and the fighting continued.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SvdyqAczLkI/AAAAAAAAASs/2THAwnuiG2I/s1600-h/IMG_8229.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SvdyqAczLkI/AAAAAAAAASs/2THAwnuiG2I/s400/IMG_8229.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401912344055066178" /></a>Just one of several sharks around our boat and cage!!<br /><br /><br /><br />After the big shark experience, we went to Waimea Bay.

Our friend, Kelly Mills(who went to BYU-Hawaii and is very familiar with the island), took us out to Goat Island. This is an island off the north shore. You wade/swim out to it. It doesn't look like much when you are standing on the beach but as soon as you get in the water it is a little rougher than you expect. We made it across without incident. When we got to the island we went swimming, took a hike around the island and just hung out. After a couple of hours it was time to go back. We could tell that the tide was getting higher and the waves were bigger and rougher than on the way over. I was a little nervous from that when I heard Kate start to scream and cry! She said something hurt her arm really bad. As I looked around, I saw a blue jelly fish. Yikes! We just started to swim as fast as we could to get back to shore! When we got to the beach you could see that Kate had a few big welts on her wrist! Poor thing...it hurt for a whole day. Later on that day as everyone was playing at Pounders Beach, Alyssa got stung on her ankle! They were both real troopers!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/Svd_UJLCyoI/AAAAAAAAAT8/iVzQFs2W44g/s1600-h/IMG_8366.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/Svd_UJLCyoI/AAAAAAAAAT8/iVzQFs2W44g/s400/IMG_8366.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401926262090549890" /></a>Just as we were arriving at goat island.

John and I spent a wonderful week in Scottsdale, Arizona for our 17th anniversary. In so many ways it seems that we have been together forever but on the other hand it seems like just yesterday that we were married. We love our life together and are so blessed to have such a great marriage! Thanks so much to Grandma Carolyn for weathering the week with the girls!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SiyFN4nW3zI/AAAAAAAAAOI/zbFntttRvj0/s1600-h/DSCN0001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SiyFN4nW3zI/AAAAAAAAAOI/zbFntttRvj0/s400/DSCN0001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344793331364192050" /></a>Me and John at our anniversary dinner!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SiyFOP6g5uI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/jRzvQ6pFHj0/s1600-h/DSCN0002.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SiyFOP6g5uI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/jRzvQ6pFHj0/s400/DSCN0002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344793337618556642" /></a>The dessert that they brought to us...you can't beat chocolate!!<br /><br /><br /><br />For the past few months I have been training a group of women to run a half marathon.

The girls made signs for me that I saw on my way out the door and John and Abby met me at the finish line.

She turned 8 last month and made the decision to be baptized and confirmed. She chose her daddy to baptize and confirm her. She looked beautiful in her white dress. She loved being baptized and wrote about her feelings in her journal! She had both sets of grandparents there and lots of great friends and family! It was a wonderful day for a very special little girl! We love you, Abby!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SeYS1RwNrBI/AAAAAAAAALI/ggVTuT5ikxU/s1600-h/DSC_0805.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SeYS1RwNrBI/AAAAAAAAALI/ggVTuT5ikxU/s400/DSC_0805.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324964315920182290" /></a>Abby was radiant! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SeYS1pXWfGI/AAAAAAAAALQ/a_mTvwYRWpk/s1600-h/DSC_0806.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SeYS1pXWfGI/AAAAAAAAALQ/a_mTvwYRWpk/s400/DSC_0806.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324964322258353250" /></a>Abby with her daddy! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SeYS1K7uQbI/AAAAAAAAALA/V7Zn9fwZ9PY/s1600-h/DSC_0802.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SeYS1K7uQbI/AAAAAAAAALA/V7Zn9fwZ9PY/s400/DSC_0802.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324964314089406898" /></a>John and Abby...such a daddy's girl!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SeYRNem5BRI/AAAAAAAAAKw/PmlYOyn08FA/s1600-h/DSC_0832.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SeYRNem5BRI/AAAAAAAAAKw/PmlYOyn08FA/s400/DSC_0832.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324962532664345874" /></a>Our family!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SeYRNJRIA8I/AAAAAAAAAKo/5-DwUa9lrM8/s1600-h/DSC_0800.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SeYRNJRIA8I/AAAAAAAAAKo/5-DwUa9lrM8/s400/DSC_0800.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324962526935909314" /></a>Abby with Grandma Margaret and Grandpa CJ.

We have had temperatures in the 70's and on Saturday it was downright "summer like"! Kate went to a birthday party where they went swimming and Alyssa went to the gym and swam with some friends. Abby had a dance competition (they took two 1st place trophies and threee 2nd place...it was a fun, LONG weekend). When we got home from the competition, Abby went swimming and I had so sit in the sun and watch her. It's a hard job, but somebody has to do it and I am willing to be the one to make that sacrifice! There are a lot of stinky things about living in California, but days like Saturday remind us why we love it so much!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SdEaitPziYI/AAAAAAAAAKU/4bKAVOQO2w8/s1600-h/P1010315.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SdEaitPziYI/AAAAAAAAAKU/4bKAVOQO2w8/s400/P1010315.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319061818465028482" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SdEaiUmfcmI/AAAAAAAAAKM/gqJXXhy8HGE/s1600-h/P1010312.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SdEaiUmfcmI/AAAAAAAAAKM/gqJXXhy8HGE/s400/P1010312.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319061811849294434" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1298108948400763881-5972069059196158409?l=californiathelers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>California Theler'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16723980806070483510noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298108948400763881.post-18853567668575223862009-03-23T20:33:00.000-07:002009-03-23T21:15:05.236-07:00Is it possible that it has been 16 years since we had our first little girl enter the world?? In some ways it seems like just yesterday, but in other ways it seems like forever ago! Katelyn has been a joy to our family! She is a sweet sister, a great daughter, a fun cousin, an excellent granddaughter, a good student, a terrific friend and an all around beautiful girl!! <br /><br />She started off her day by skipping early morning seminary. She went to school and got balloons and presents from several of her friends. John came home from work at a decent time and we went to Casa Orozco (Kate's favorite restaurant) for dinner. She got to open her presents. She got...a hairdryer and flat iron, a new purse, a keychain wallet (totally appropriate for a 16 year old, soon-to-be driver), and a purity ring!...and lets not forget the puppy!! We finished off the night by singing "Happy Birthday" and Kate blew out her candle on a donut...no cake and ice cream for this girl!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SchYPiJHOxI/AAAAAAAAAJU/qpCs8l1hsSM/s1600-h/DSC_0769.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SchYPiJHOxI/AAAAAAAAAJU/qpCs8l1hsSM/s400/DSC_0769.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316596383997180690" /></a>Katelyn didn't want a party this year, so she got some "cold, hard cash" in place of a party...smart girl!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SchYQX5fOjI/AAAAAAAAAJc/xWe2p-HFB2k/s1600-h/DSC_0772.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SchYQX5fOjI/AAAAAAAAAJc/xWe2p-HFB2k/s400/DSC_0772.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316596398427159090" /></a>Kate has been wanting a "purity ring" for quite some time.

It seems like just yesterday that I was sicker than a dog waiting for the day that our sweet little girl would come into the world. She has been a joy since the day she was born.

We did not plan for this. We had no supplies and when we brought the puppy home, it was a disaster. Alyssa was 3 years old and completely terrified of the dog. The puppy cried all night long for 2 straight nights. She pooped and peed all over the house. It was a nightmare!! With my lack of knowledge on raising a puppy, I quickly gave up and found a great home for her. Needless to say, this traumatized Katelyn who loves puppies beyond belief!! I made her a promise that we would get a new puppy when she was 8 years old. Well, when Kate turned 8 we got a little sister instead and I have never lived down the fact that I broke a promise. Well, yesterday I finally made good on my promise and we got Kate her long awaited puppy! <br /> <br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SbScwhT0_TI/AAAAAAAAAF4/hF1wHEHtxYI/s320/P1010262.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311042217965845810" />THE NEWEST THELER...EDWARD! <br /> <br />When we were deciding what would be a special "Sweet 16" birthday present for Kate, I knew just the thing...a new puppy!! After a month of research and a long search for the "right" puppy (you know, one that I would like too since I will be doing half of the training), we found one that I knew Kate (and the rest of us) would LOVE! We told the girls that we had a surprise for them. We did not tell them what it was and the suspense just about killed them! We drove an hour and a half to the city where the puppy was born. Before we left, I printed out pictures of the 3 male puppies that were available and instructions on "how to pick a puppy". I rolled the pages up and put a pink bow around it. When we got to the restaurant to meet my mom and dad for lunch, we gave her the package. When she opened it, she had the BEST reaction in the world. She looked shocked and then tears started streaming down her face!! We all had tears too because we know how long she has wanted a puppy!! <br /> <br />After lunch, we drove a few minutes to the trainer's home. There they were...the cutest little Morkies (a Maltese and Yorkie mix) in the world. We played with them for about a half an hour before Kate narrowed it down to the one she liked best. "Edward" (as in Cullen, the sparkly vampire) is literally the cutest puppy ever! He did not cry for one minute last night and goes into his crate without any problems! We are working on housebreaking and Kate is taking a major roll in this task. We are really proud of how responsible she is with Edward! It is definitely "Puppy Love"!! <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SbScxJ4DLUI/AAAAAAAAAGA/N1USWUz98bo/s1600-h/P1010274.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SbScxJ4DLUI/AAAAAAAAAGA/N1USWUz98bo/s320/P1010274.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311042228855188802" /></a>I guess she can't claim that she is "Sweet 16 and Never Been Kissed"! <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SbScwGzDCvI/AAAAAAAAAFw/Rkpn3ZEbODI/s1600-h/P1010256.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SbScwGzDCvI/AAAAAAAAAFw/Rkpn3ZEbODI/s320/P1010256.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311042210849032946" /></a>Grandma Margaret instilled a love of dogs in Kate.

First things first...I finally cut my hair! My sisters-in-law, Anjuli and Gina, both got their hair cut short and I decided the take the final leap! I love it! It sure is a lot easier. I am getting used to styling it, but I feel like I have been taken back about 6 years when I used to always wear my hair short!

It was called Character Matters. Abby was one of the lead parts. She was the witch, who was one of the narrators. She has been working for the past few months on her lines and she did a great job! Her teacher told the kids that if they got nervous they could take a deep breath and look at her and she would do her best to relax them. I told Abby that this was really good advice and that she should follow it in case she got nervous. She was very quick to inform me that the advice was not for HER it was for the kids that got nervous! Confidence is not an issue for Abby! Good Job!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SaIldddbcMI/AAAAAAAAAEI/IDixyxQDzwg/s1600-h/DSC_0628.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SaIldddbcMI/AAAAAAAAAEI/IDixyxQDzwg/s320/DSC_0628.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305844499050361026" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SaIleP1R8NI/AAAAAAAAAEY/qQjVo01hWe8/s1600-h/DSC_0638.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SaIleP1R8NI/AAAAAAAAAEY/qQjVo01hWe8/s320/DSC_0638.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305844512572174546" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SaIldh-cjMI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/uwvQumrVy7g/s1600-h/DSC_0627.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SaIldh-cjMI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/uwvQumrVy7g/s320/DSC_0627.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305844500262587586" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SaIodbCJsFI/AAAAAAAAAEw/rCUo2-YqHGs/s1600-h/DSC_0632.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SaIodbCJsFI/AAAAAAAAAEw/rCUo2-YqHGs/s320/DSC_0632.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305847796933963858" /></a><br />Bright and early on Saturday morning we headed out for the 2 1/2 hour drive to Pilot Hill, California where my brother, Grant, lives. My nephew, Logan, was getting baptized and he asked me to give a talk and he asked Uncle John to confirm him. When we got there (30 minutes late) we rushed to change our clothes so we could get the church on time. John called from the other room "Sammie, I am hosed!" He had forgotten his white shirt. The options were slim. Grant and John are "slightly" different sizes and Grant is a non-conformist, so he had no white shirts in his closet! I was stressing out, but they ended up finding a gold colored shirt that was too big around the neck and didn't really match his pants, but was better than his black t shirt that he had with him. I was concerned that John didn't have a white shirt to perform a priesthood ordinance but my brother informed us that the "hillbillies" in his ward wouldn't even notice. They would just be impressed that we had all of our own teeth! FUNNY! It ended up working out fine and we had a wonderful time visiting with my mom and dad and my sister in law, Tanya's family! We got home after mid-night, but it was worth it! Now we are looking forward to Abby's baptism on April 11!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1298108948400763881-7501873432181328667?l=californiathelers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>California Theler'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16723980806070483510noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298108948400763881.post-82840594962314523302009-02-15T20:20:00.000-08:002009-02-15T23:35:26.859-08:00We went to South Lake Tahoe for our annual ski vacation. The girls weren't able to miss a whole week of school, so John and I went up for a few days on our own. We had a wonderful time. The first day the weather wasn't too good but we still spent a few hours on the slopes. I was really happy that I remembered how to ski. In fact, we were able to go on all "blue" runs together. Very fun! The next few days were amazing!

We really had a wonderful time together. Abby and Alyssa went to ski/snowboard school the first day. Alyssa was unable to go with us the next day because she had worn snowboarding boots that were 2 sizes too small, so by the end of the first day she was a little...crippled. She is a brunette...but the roots?...well you can decide for yourself. On the last day of our trip we were all able to go together and it was really a lot of fun. The girls are getting better every time we go and Kate can almost keep up with John. I just stick with Abby and Alyssa...that is just fine with me!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SZkWXoHX71I/AAAAAAAAADw/PowOATxF2gU/s1600-h/P1010244.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SZkWXoHX71I/AAAAAAAAADw/PowOATxF2gU/s200/P1010244.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303294631366618962" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SZkWXa_ABrI/AAAAAAAAADo/uBToDnPUn-E/s1600-h/P1010235.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SZkWXa_ABrI/AAAAAAAAADo/uBToDnPUn-E/s200/P1010235.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303294627841836722" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SZkWXQ3i4yI/AAAAAAAAADg/Y7gqVlREEh8/s1600-h/P1010230.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gHSVdtZY_KE/SZkWXQ3i4yI/AAAAAAAAADg/Y7gqVlREEh8/s200/P1010230.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303294625126212386" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1298108948400763881-8284059496231452330?l=californiathelers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>California Theler'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16723980806070483510noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298108948400763881.post-80835288992864741392009-02-14T11:57:00.001-08:002009-02-14T11:57:36.163-08:00<div><embed src="http://widget-71.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&amp;il=1&amp;channel=3242591731714312305&amp;site=widget-71.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&amp;at=un&amp;id=3242591731714312305&amp;map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-71.slide.com/p1/3242591731714312305/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&amp;at=un&amp;id=3242591731714312305&amp;map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-71.slide.com/p2/3242591731714312305/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3242591731714312305&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-71.slide.com/p4/3242591731714312305/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1298108948400763881-8083528899286474139?l=californiathelers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>California Theler'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16723980806070483510noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298108948400763881.post-41953478055488750792009-02-13T11:25:00.000-08:002009-02-14T12:52:41.179-08:00I have finally entered the 21st century and have decided to blog.  Now...don't be misled into thinking that I will do it very often, or very well...but I will do it!  <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1298108948400763881-4195347805548875079?l=californiathelers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>California Theler'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16723980806070483510noreply@blogger.com2
