THE Wedding of the Year!!

September 21, 2012

Ryan John Cannon and Madelyn Ruth Carey

were married at Memory Grove in Salt Lake City, Utah.

I think he found his perfect match.  What a beautiful and sweet couple. The whole evening was great.  A good friend and former Bishop of Ryan's married them. Eric, Scott and Darrin where the groomsmen and Madelyn's sisters Tiffany and Brittany and I were the bridesmaid.  And there were lots of cute little flower girls and ring bearers.  Lauren was the most excited and the little girls wore ballet slippers and the boys black converse.  So fun! 
PS: You have to scroll to the bottom and see Lauren's dancing video!

 

 

 

Just a few pictures of the girls getting ready before the wedding.

Vist to Great Grandma

On our way home from Matthew's Soccer Game we were able to vist with Great Grandma Cannon.  She was eating when we got there and to be honest, I had a really hard time trying to find her. She is getting more and more unrecognizeable.  We love our Grandma and want her to be happy so bad.  I don't think she recognizes or understand much of anything these days.  And she just mumbles jiber jabber the whole time we are there. 

Part of our visit included a table dance performed by Jacob for all the folks in the home.  He was quite the entertainer.

Our kind neighbors, Amber & Ricardo, are hooked on Cross Fit and have encouraged Ethan to do the same.  Ethan loves it.  I love it because he loves it and my neighbors take him to and from his workouts.  Can't get any better than that!

Matthew's Poster and Speech

 

Hi, my name is Matthew Spendlove,also known as monkey man because I like monkeys.

I am in the 6^th grade in Mrs. Rasmussen's class.

I am running for this year's Grounds & Activity Commissioner.

I have a family of seven including me. My mom tells me I started running before I started walking.

I am very active and love being outside. I love to go camping with my family.

I am on a club soccer team called CCB and I am a boy scout.

I also like drawing and sketching living things.

Here are 3 reasons you should vote for me.

The 1^st reason is I love the outdoors and can stay in the sun almost forever if I wanted to.

The 2^nd reason is I am very helpful and can do almost any job asked to be done.

The 3^rd reason is I am really smart and athletic which is perfect for grounds and activities commissioner.

Now some of you who I've talked to have asked me if I would get soccer nets and all that.

Well, the grounds and activities commissioner can't tell the PTC or the school what to get. But I can work with them and with what they have.

THANKS FOR LISTENING AND JUST DO IT !

VOTE MATTHEW SPENDLOVE for GROUNDS AND ACTIVITIES COMMISSIONER.

One of many Haircuts...

This baby boy has lots of blonde hair that grows really fast.  I love his hair, but I also love being able to see all of his beautiful face.  So I keep cutting it and it keeps getting lighter.  My last attempt at cutting his hair started out in the bathtub, then while he was sleeping and then in his high chair with a sucker.  I'm going to have to have a pro do it next time.
