Pioneer Day Celebration

Here is our amazing coordinator Carol Kelly and her sidekick Victoria!
You did a great job Carol!!

The highlight of the activity was the beautiful replica of the Nauvoo Temple that the members of the Fourth Ward constructed. It was magnificent and the attention to detail was amazing! They had sun stone all the way around the temple and the inside was beautifully decorated. Even came complete with an angeol Moroni! They worked long and hard and it was enjoyed by all.

Doing their best to keep us prepared are Jean Moore, Claudia Smith and Gigi Lukenga

Our own experty quilters! Jan Whitaker, Terri Tinling, and Janice Vance

Cute Pioneer kids!!! They helped the YW and their leaders make butter!

Dutch Oven cooking with Keith and Cindy Griffiths along with Lindsay Zeltner-if you thought you were hot there, they were working with HOT coals!!!

Snodgrass baby!

Nick and Kat Snodgrass are parents again!

Isaac Luke Snodgrass

was born July 6th at about 7:00am. He weighed 6 lbs. 9 oz. and is 17 inches long. Kat says the delivery went as good as it could have and is so thankful he has made his arrival!

Cole Gemmel

Cole was born on June 9th 2009 at 9:23 am via c-section.

He just didn't want to come the other way, he wanted to come out just like his brother.

Cole is a happy baby who loves to , eat, sleep, talk, and poop.

We are excited to have him in our family and look forward to the

many memories we will make together.

Congratulations to the growing Gemmel family!!

Check both sites out, they are terriffic

And this is tip is from Suzi Hammond:

"I just bought the LDS Scriptures app at iTunes (works on iPhones & iTouch), it's only $15. This has a ton of stuff, including cool features that kids/teens would like. Also, another application is Mormon Channel, and this one is FREE. It's Mormon Radio where you listen to audio of the Conferences, magazines, & Listen to the scriptures.Thought I'd let you know in case anyone out there had a device compatible with these apps."

This summer I am........

Going to enjoy our cabin in Utah for the first time in about 4 years. It is peaceful there with good fishing. Come and visit us. Just let us know when you can come--we will be there the first 2 weeks of every month thru Octorber. Marian Marriott
