Larry Sherwood Reunion 2009

The Larry Sherwood Reunion was such fun!

All of our kids commented on the fact that there is no one in the family that isn't top notch and oh so fun!

Here is Grandpa with his daughters:

Tina - Kathleen - Tonna

They are the best!  

And what great story tellers they all are...we could listen to them all day long and never get tired of hearing them talk!

Marley's 1st Birthday

Marley celebrated her 1st Birthday with all kinds of pink and red decorations!  She is the sweetest baby and oooh so good!

Rarely cries and as Karissa's brother say's, "she is frozen in time!"

She is so tiny and petite like her mother.

The cousins surround her all the time, she barely has room to breathe!  What a little doll!

While Marley is the center of attention at one end of the yard,

Cam & Ty are doing crazy stuff at the other end!

Fun times!  Family is all that matters!

Miss Justina goes to the Salt Lake Temple!

I am going to back track for a few months to do some catching up!

This took place in April, D'Wayne, Justina and I took a road trip to Salt Lake City.

It was her second time to attend a Temple session, the first was a few day earlier in the Mesa, Arizona Temple.  We were so excited that Elder Hyslop, & President and Sister Farrer could join us for this wonderful occasion.  Elder Hyslop was the Elder that baptized Justina and has been home from his mission for a few months.

 It was a beautiful spring day with tulips in bloom everywhere...tulips, are they not the most beautiful flower ever!!!

We had a glorious day touring Temple Square, 

watching the Joseph Smith movie at the Legacy Theater,

going through the Bee Hive House, 

and eating lunch at the Lion House.

A day to remember!

St. Lucia National Dress

Here we are all dressed up in the St. Lucia Creole national attire!

Those bright colors look so much better against beautiful black skin but we did the best we could with what we had to work with.

It is so hard to get all the children looking at the camera at the same time!!!!

Christmas Festivities

My good friends Renee' and Louise at the Cookie exchange Party hosted by Renee.

We all brought 5 dozen cookies and then made plates of all the different varieties to drop off at the sisters we Visit Teach.

Nothing like good friends...we have all been friends for 40 years!!!!

My sister's Ann & June, we had a wonderful visit and some delicious tamales & beans, which tasted like they had been blessed.  June is a wonderful cook and everything she makes is delicious!

Here is the family getting ready to go through the neighborhood singing carols and giving out our Christmas Popcorn.  (which was a complete bust in St. Lucia)  our annual Caroling Party.  This was the first year we did not freeze to death, the weather was so nice

Jake, Jaxson and Drey, the Three Musketeers, at the first annual Kindergarten Overnighter at Papa and Nana's home.

We had a fun Scavenger Hunt,

decorated cookies, played Hide and Seek, and

a few other games.

The boys had a such fun with the Potato Gun

fights.  Fun boys...great memories!

Ember, Cole, Kensley, Keaton and Zach

Our annual Older Grand kids Christmas Party.

We had so much fun, making pizza, playing "Rock Band", Taboo, Jump Rope and the hit of the night was "Potato Guns"!!!

Good Times!!!

Okay, so I can't figure out what is happening with the posting...I can't get this writing to go underneath the pictures anymore...someone who is smarter than me, please tell me what I am doing wrong!!!

Temple Lights 2008

Thanksgiving starts the Festivities!

December 1, 2008

We have a tradition of going to Pete's Fish and Chips and then over to the Temple to see the Christmas lights.  It is so beautiful and the children delight in seeing all the lights and watching the movie, Luke 2.  This was the first year the weather was nice and not cold at all.

Thanksgiving was a great day of delicious food followed by our Annual

DANCE OFF!!

It was fun to watch all the little children rock out, and even more fun was watching all the grown children dance!!  They could move it like the Lucians!!!

Spending time with the Grand Kids is the best!

This day I was spending some time with Cade and Gracie, very adorable!

Tuesday is Temple Day for some of the Sherwood's

I always want a person in the picture, Neisha was glad to assist...but you can barely even see that she is there!

Here is the Arizona Temple.
