Easy Family History Opportunity

So, I’ve been looking through my pictures, and there seems to be a lack of photos of Anna from her early years (ages 0-4). I know some of you who are related to us might have some pictures that you’ve taken. If you do, could you send some my way? If they’re digital, you can email them to me. Drop a comment if you need my email address. If you have a lot of digital stuff (more than 20 megs), I have a couple of methods we can use to trade pictures, so drop a line and I’ll help you out.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The Girl Who Nearly Made Aaron Bleed. Nearly, but Not Quite.

 

This is Rebecca Taylor. She looks innocent enough, but as I alluded in my last post, she’s the one who managed to kick a soccer ball straight into my face. She kicks hard. I thought my nose would have been broken, but fortunately it didn’t. My lip swelled up a bit, but other than that, I’m all right. She felt bad and apologized profusely. I'm looking forward to ribbing her about this all year during Seminary.

Soccer tonight

Played soccer... me, seven teenagers, two kids... scored one goal... assisted on a couple of others... hit hard in the face by ball while playing keeper... much running... exhausted...

Loved every minute... going to play again next week... Oh, yeah... Big grin.

It's Football Time!

I just thought everyone would enjoy a few photos of the kids playing football.

Aaron Searle is Getting Released from the Bishopric

I was called today to be on the High Council, and since Aaron and I seem to have a knack for picking up similar callings around the same time, I’m going to predict he’ll be a Dry High Councilor sometime in the next few months.

It’s exciting and new. I was baptized by fire today with a disciplinary council. I have no authority to discuss the proceedings thereof, but I learned that they aren’t the scary things I always imagined they are, except for the Stake Presidency and High Councilors. The lot fell on me to speak, and that scared the heck out of me. That’s the news today. I’m pretty tired.

Things that made me laugh today

I had a couple of really good belly laughs today, and wouldn’t you know, my dear, sweet sister was behind both of them?

Today at work I got an email from Emily. It was [allegedly] a compilation of metaphors and similes used in high school papers. “The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.” and “It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.” were a couple that made me wonder about life growing up in those home. The full list is available for those who wish to read it.

The second thing was her post about Mountain Lions. I just hope Drew’s OK.
