Just an FYI.....

Tons of our classmates are on Facebook, if you haven't noticed. It's another great way to keep up with everyone. So if you don't have an account yet - think about it!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I just want to wish everyone Happy Holidays. I hope that you all have a wonderful safe Holiday season. This is a picture of my little family at my daughter's school program for Veteran's Day
MHS Forever!

Layout

I just want to give props to Laura (Cook) Nicholson on the layout of the class blog. She did a great job!

Thank you Laura.

Home at Last!

Matt is home from Iraq! It has been a long 15 months for our family and we are glad to be together again!

A First For Me

Well, I'm sure many of you have done far more, but I have recently starting running and just completed my first 10k! I was slower than tar and came in like 178th out of 193! But I was pretty proud of myself for not stopping even once. I'm trying to work on speed now...maybe a half marathon in the spring? There's nothing like running and sweating to make a great picture...ugh.

Did anyone ever notice?

So I was flipping through the channels the other night and Back to the Future III (I think, the one where he goes to the Old West) was on. Well, I guess it's shortly after Marty's arrival in town at the big town gathering celebrating the clock, right before it shows ZZ Top (another thing I never noticed) and there is music playing - does anyone know what the melody was?? It's to the same tune as the Manti High school song! Wow!! Who knew? I sure didn't ever notice but I thought it was kinda funny so I'm sharing my pointless information with the rest of you.

You are welcome! ;)

Music Memories

If you'd like, leave a comment about any song you remember from things such as 8th grade high school recognition, our graduation song, etc. and I'll add it to the music. I have apparently blocked all of that out cause I can't seem to remember!!

I added electric slide cause I remember having to learn that (along with the Chicken Dance)! Thanks Mrs. Reid - that was awesome.

THANK You!

.... GO UTES!!! Football seasons here!

LeAnn's Update

Hi everyone!  This is a great way to catch up on old classmates!  I love seeing the pictures of pets and children and what everyone is doing these days.

We're living in Norfolk, Virginia, right now.  It's such a long way from home but we are really enjoying it here and making lots of new friends.  We moved here in December after a short stint in Manti (for the kids and me) while my husband was at boot camp and tech school with the Navy.  I kind of feel like we got on the boat (~wink wink~) a little late but he's working hard and moving his way up fairly quickly.

Here's a picture of our 9 year old Tyler.  He played soccer this spring and keeps busy with Cub Scouts (we're his den leaders).  He'll be heading off to 4th grade in just a few weeks.

This is a picture of Colin (2 1/2) and our baby Kirsten.  She's going on 5 months old now.  We waited a long time for our little Colin to join our family so we were quite shocked to find out that I was expecting Kirsten after not even trying!  SURPRISE!

I get to stay home with the kiddos and love it!  I used to do lots of things like scrapbooking and cardmaking but who has the time these days?  I'm up to my elbows in diapers and Hot Wheels.

Well summer is almost over and we thought that we might post since we have been slackers since February. Everybody is doing well. Savannah is getting more cute and fiesty everyday. I would be fiesty too if my teeth were breaking through. :) Abbey and Annie love the outdoors and would spend every minute outside if they had the chance. Nicole has continued to be the great mom and supportive wife that she is. I am just finishing school which hopefully will be done with my Masters in Education with emphasis in Administration by next summer.

We have been pretty busy with baby blessings, family reunions, camping, and holidays this summer. It seems like I get more of a break during the school year. I wish we could have made it up to the Scandanavian Festival this year. Everytime I read Rachel's post about the finger lickin' turkey my mouth waters. Anyhoo, I hope that everyone has had a great summer and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Come and visit my blogspot

Hello everyone. I hope that you are all having a wonderful summer. I have been working hard at learning how to blog and I would like to invite you to visit my site and see what my family is up to lately. http://cnfawcettfam.blogspot.com
I have had it pivate until now but I think that it will be ok to make it public since most of my family and friends have theirs that way. So come visit and let me know what you think.
Enjoy your summer!
