Memorial Day

This Memorial day Mom decided to follow in Grandma Griner's footsteps and visit the graves for the family.  Several of the family that could be there met at the Mesa Cemetary.  After putting silk flower arrangments on the graves the adults and some of the kids told stories that they remember about the different family members.  It was fun to be together and remember those we miss and love.  Thanks Mom!

Here are some pictures.  

Mom was a huge help

Mom went down to Tucson on Wednesday night so that she could stay with Cody and Whitney while Cindy was in the hospital.  She stayed there till Saturday helping with the kids and meals and whatever needed to be done.  We just realized that there are no pictures with her and baby Travis.  Its because she wouldn't stop helping out.  Thanks Mom you are always such a big help!  

Chet & CIndy's Family

He is here and we are so excited!!

Travis Chet Rhoton was born Thursday, May 14th at 5:34pm. He weighed 9 pounds 3 ounces and was 21 inches long. He is a healthy and content little boy. Both mom and Travis are doing great.

Our family is growing

Mom is currently in Tucson watching Chet and Cindy's kids while Cindy is in the hospital giving birth to thier newest addition.  We will post pictures as soon as we can.  Meanwhile all the grandkids are growing up so fast.  I only have pictures of Isabella on my computer so I will post a one of those.

Alaenya was also married on May 2, 2009 to Todd Bailey.  I am also waiting on those pictures.  haha It was a wonderful wedding and we all had a great time.  Alaenya was such a beautiful bride and all of us girls got the chance to get all dolled up too.

Family Dinner pix

Here are some pictures that were taken at dinner the other day. Just thought you might enjoy them.

This was our 3 genereation pictures we had to get before Mom died. HAHAHAHA (that was an inside joke about how slow we are about getting pictures done.)

We don't have very many pictures of the family with Isabella but here is a cute one with Grandma.














Isabella is so happy in the mornings, just like her Mommy. :) I love to catch her smiles. She is also discovering her voice so she make the cutest noises!

Camping Trips & Rain!

Well we took Isabella on her first camping trip. I was a little worried that it would mess with her schedule. (she is sleeping from8:30pm to about 5:00am) However to our great surprise she slept through the night while we were camping also. We went up with the Brewers and had a blast! We convinced Mom to come up and join us also. The weather was beautiful and we just relaxed all Friday and Saturday. However Saturday night it started to rain. It rained all night and when we woke in the morning it looked like we were sleeping on a water bed. So we had to clean the tent out and hang all our stuff up under the huge canopy where it dried out on Sunday. So we spent most of Sunday reading articles from the Ensign and the Relief Society manual because things were too wet to go to church. I must say it was much more interesting than regular Sunday School. hehe The rain cleared up Sunday night and we were able to have Dutch Oven hobo dinners and peach cobbler. Sunday night we all slept in the Brewer's 5th Wheel and were dry and warm. Over all it was a great time and Isabella loved it! Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend!
