Happy Birthday Jon!

Happy Birthday Jon....I hope your day is Wonderful! Rumor has it Knight Rider premiers tonight? How could your day get any better than that? Ooohhhh, All the things I remember....one was your love for Kit. Have a great time, Have a great Day, I love you!

Happy Birthday Nick!

Happy Birthday Nick!

I asked Nick what he was doing for his birthday. He told me he was going to do some Sniper Training. Hmmm...I hope he at least gets a little cake with that. I know Jenny will make sure that he does!

Nick I hope your "Sniper Birthday Party" is the Best Ever!

That theme just never crossed my mind when I was planning all of his childhood birthdays. He did have a Cowboy party, a Clown party, a Superhero party, but I never thought to plan a "Sniper Birthday Party" for him. Maybe we should suggest this theme to Martha Stewart? Have fun Nick, we all love you and miss you terribly! Love Mom, Cam, Aubrey, and Mitchell.

Making chandler Greater Part 2

Making Chandler Greater part 2 - September 20, 2008. Here we are, same neighborhood, 4 months later, and a whole lot bigger! The Galveston 1st Ward did a great job in May and this time we decided to invite other Wards, another Stake, Eagle Scouts, and other businesses in the community to participate in this project. When game day came around, we had 30 homes to work on and 12 City easements to beautify. We had approximately 350 volunteers. We had 8 project teams, with two of the teams led by Eagle Scouts. We had over 25 children that were cared for while their parents worked on the project. Rumor has it, there will be a Making Chandler Greater Part 3. Be sure to let me know if you would like to participate!

Here is the video from September 20, 2008!

Making Chandler Greater Part 1

On May 3rd, 2008 the Galveston 1st Ward planned a Community Service Project. We turned to the City of Chandler to seek out a neighborhood that needed a little cleaning up. On this day we completed work on 15 houses, delivered food and laundry soap, installed smoke detectors, and made friends with people we may have never otherwise known. About 85 people came to volunteer on this day along with members of the neighborhood who joined in the work. What a Great Day this was! Be sure to come back and see the sequel...Making chandler Greater Part 2, September 20, 2008!

So, we shoveled rock...All Day!

Only one change to make for the next project...BOBCATS!



Lots of Plants and Flowers...


Lunchtime...this was the best part of the day. Everyone had a chance to share experiences together as we gathered for lunch.
