Little (or maybe well) Known Fact:

My momma taught me nothing domestic. (Bless her heart.) :-)

Dilemma: Zipper on my temple dress is busted and it needs replacing. Help. Anyone?

She's flown the nest...

We got Whitney moved into her dorm. She's loving college life so far! I don't like the feeling of our chicks leaving the nest, but it's the circle of life. We're all settled into the school routine. So bring on the homework! (yikes)

THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks to everyone for coming to the baby blessing yesterday! We love all of you very much and we are so grateful to have such wonderful family that supports everyone so well!!

Saturday Fun!

Ladies:

Oh, how I wish I could go. So I have to share the love: In case any of you (Karlene... BAYLEE...) want to go- there's a big Shabby Apple sale in Salt Lake this weekend! :-)

Ok so Jas said that he didn't think at 350 east there is a stop sign...... ???? So just turn left at 350 east ;)

Sunday

Directions to Church….
I was going to MapQuest it but it’s a new area and there isn’t a map for it :( Anyway the address is 605 N. Fox Hunter Dr. Farmington.
So you head west on Shepard Dr. go over the overpass and then at the stop sign (350 east) turn left….. Keep going past the church on the right… go straight at the stop sign and you will run into it at the end of the road. If anyone would like to follow us we will be leaving are house at 10:40. Let me know if you are coming so we can get a head count

Sunday Dinner???

Remember we aren't meeting here this Sunday but at Jason and Darci's for Kinzley's blessing.
Then back to their home for FOOD! Lori has made Kinzley's blessing dress and it is beyond beautiful!
P.S. Darci can you give us directions to your church?

Austin has been telling me for the past 2 months that he isn't going to preschool anymore!!! (PILL)
So we went backpack shopping and I kept telling myself on are way there that I was going to let him totally pick out what he wanted. I think it took all of 2 seconds for him to find this one and after that there was do changing his mind (even though I REALLY wanted him to!!) Austin if you cant tell LOVES dinosaurs and dragons so in his mind this was PERFECT!!!
So on the first day I was expecting tears but he ran right in with his dragon backpack on and everything! My little boy is getting so so BIG!!! (tear!!!)

A treasure!

Jonathan Chamberlain Ph.D., a cousin, has spent the past ten plus years compiling a book about our great-grand father Thomas Chamberlain. Finally it is complete. He hand delivered my copy on Saturday and I was so happy with the finished project that I purchased one for Lori, Lisa, & Ron. Then I thought of my siblings and enjoyed
purchasing one for Linda, Bob & Rick. It is a treasure. The CD has an additional 250 photographs, etc.
On the CD you can see a picture of Thomas Chamberlain (about 15 years old) and his mother, Hannah Whale Chamberlain. A great treasure!
P.S. Lori, Lisa & Ron will have to wait until Christmas for their books but they can look at mine anytime they want to.

Road to The Middle of Nowhere

Dear family:

Tomorrow PIONEER CROSSING opens. Do you know what this means? All of the Keelers can no longer be considered as living in "The Middle of Nowhere." :-) Cuz guess what?!!? We'll have a MAJOR ROAD heading right our way! That's right- soon you'll be able to ZIP ZIP ZIP right out here to Eagle Mountain. And it'll be awesome.

Tomorrow is a good day.

... Now if we could just get some more restaurants!

Fall Colors

Aren't these the colors we want to

wear for our family pictures? So cute!

Best of Show Cut flower

Not to brag or anything, but from the 11 entries in the Utah County Fair, I won 2 Red ribbons, 8 Blue ribbons and Best of Show in the Cut Flowers. Cha Ching!

Grandma & Grandpa's house=SMILES!

Serious business for three little guys

picture #1. Look at the expressions of concern on Austin and Myles' faces.
picture #2. Success & smiles all around.

P.S. after looking closer I see that Baylee also is smiling after Tyson's success.
Poor Jeremey couldn't handle the stress of the whole thing and had to close his eyes. Then in second picture -- relief!

Check out Tyson's 2 yr old Pictures on my website

He is so dang cute!

Grab a Tissue...

I thought this was beautiful... I am a sucker for these little Mormon Messages from LDS.org.

Love this blog!

This blog is such a fun way to stay in touch. Thanks Karlene!
Two dates to put on your calendar.
1. family photo date has been changed to 10-10-10. A great date for us all to remember -- my brother's birthday! And yes, a great date all on it's own.
2. July 30 to Aug 3, 2011 (four sleeps) for our Yellowstone Vacation. These dates aren't set in cement because we haven't booked the cabin yet but we are aiming for those dates. The same cabin that we used last time is available (the price has gone up but we think it's worth it). More details later. FUN!

SUNDAY DINNER - August 15, 2010

HAWAIIAN HAYSTACKS
As per Brinley's request. Suggestions always welcome.
Dress Hawaiian!

Fun at the Drive-in!!

Travis, Kristy, Myles and Mayzie came too! But by then my camera was being weird and I didn't get any pics with them. But we all had a great time! Thanks Lori for organizing it and thinking of everything!

I loved this quote.

This is so true.


“Prophecies regarding the last days often refer to large-scale calamities such as earthquakes or famines or floods [and] . . . economic or political upheavals of one kind or another. But there is one kind of latter-day destruction that has always sounded to me more personal than public, more individual than collective—a warning, perhaps more applicable inside the Church than outside it. The Savior warned that in the last days even those of the covenant, the very elect, could be deceived by the enemy of truth.”
Jeffery R Holland. "Safety for the Soul," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 88

Tyson and Mike are TWINS!!!

Ok so could Tyson look anymore like his Dad or what!!!!!

DONE!!!

I'm exhausted -- just taking pictures of him working.

Grant was up at 6:30 a.m. to finish the rocks before leaving to work in the temple!

our first baby dear of 2010

You have to look closely but it's there -- to the left of mom.

Four generations!

MORE ROCKS (pictures not in right order. the first should be last).
