Let's all move!

We have sorted, lifted, taped, carried, sifted, packed, packed some more, thrown out, climbed stairs and truck ramps, stacked, sweat, broken a few items, made trips to DI, traveled 6 hours in a U-Haul truck (not me), unpacked and fallen into bed - EXHAUSTED! Just to start over again the next day!

Isn't it funny that all the kids moved at the same time. Lana and Tyson moved into their new apartment June 30

Check out this heavy bag that it took two guys to carry!

Lana's SHOES!

Timberlakes apartments #2227

They have decorated their apartment so cute and are happy to have a place of their own.

Brett and Bree packed up the condo when we went up for the Utah open house. They are staying here with us until Brett's new cell phone store opens, then they will look for a house.

Bree has been reorganizing their 'stuff' to consolidate it.

Kenny and Megan's move had a few bumps in the road. The U-Haul they got wasn't big enough for all their stuff so they rented an additional trailer and still left a few things behind. Thank goodness for family and good ward members to help load their truck. Megan had everything so organized. Chad drove the u-Haul to Utah so they could be with Bennett in their car. Brett and Bree went with them to help.

Before they could move their things in, Brett had some of their stuff to move out. They all literally worked the entire day, hauling boxes out, other stuff in and then boxes to storage. They nearly lost the piano out of the truck as they tried to back the truck down the hill to take it straight into the basement. Everything started to slide - even the piano. Thank goodness their was a lip on the edge of the truck that kept it from falling out! Chad said they were all simply exhausted! They were so grateful for a neighbor that lives two doors down that come over and just started carrying boxes into the condo. (I will post some of their pictures later).

Kenny and Megan want to do some work to the condo before school starts in the fall. We will miss having them here in town. I think we will be looking for reasons to go to Provo! I think Bennett will need us to hold him!

In the mean time, we are organizing our house. I will turn Lana's room into a guest room, decorating it in black and white. We are repainting her room and Kenny's room right now. Kenny and Megan will need a room when they come back home.

We are glad to help each other out and thankful for each family member. They are such good people!

Authors of a new book

Chad and Trent now are authors! They have published this book about building credit line for businesses. They also have a home study course that just came out. It's a nice addition to their Corporate Credit Concept business.

Lana & Tyson's wedding banners

Lana and Tyson were married on June 6, 2008 with the reception on June 7. It was a beautiful wedding in the Las Vegas Temple, late in the afternoon so that Lana could have the morning to get ready. The Mehlhoff's had a wonderful dinner afterwards that evening. We could not have asked for better weather for the reception - a great temperature and no wind. Marilyn Bennett made the yard look so festive. (I will post pictures later.) And I huge thank you to my boys and their wifes for helping put everything together! We simply could not have done it without each one of them. I adore them all! They are delightful people who I just love! (And they ae so good to Chad and I.)

Since we knew it would be hot on the wedding day, Lana and Tyson opted for later afternoon/evening photo session at the temple. I am so fortunate to work with such wonderful people like Candace Simpson and Matt & Krystaly Koch who photographed with me. Doing the pictures early meant we were able to have 'banners' hung at the reception of the temple.

Banners (nearly 40!) were hung all around the yard. They were 2'x3' pictures of Lana and Tyson. Lana and I did several photo shoots beforehand (even in the snow in UT) in her dress. Her aunt RaeLene Kennedy made her dress, without a pattern, from drawings that Lana sketched for her. She did a fabulous job!

Chad and I are at the beach - recuperating! After I finish editing the wedding pictures, I will post some favorites.

Fun for Brett & Bree

Keeping you posted!

Today, May 17, 2008, Kenny participated in the graduation ceremony at UNLV even though he finished back in December. We were on our cruise then so he was unable to walk. He graduated with an accounting degree - magna cum laude. (Did I get that right Kenny?) That means he is dang smart!

He has been sick lately but I was glad he was able to attend. We wil be looking ahead to Trent's graduation but I wonder if they have a ceremony from the University of Phoenix.

Tyson just finished CSN and baseball. He is a free man (until June 6th). Come September he will start UNLV and baseball again.

Here are some pictures of Bree - just starting to show!

Who has a bigger tummy?

No pictures yet - but Sesily ran her frist 5K marathon (12 miles) It was in Ogden. She was hoping to run it in 2 hours. She finished in 1 hr and 48 minutes! Way to go! Congratulations to her for accomplishing her goal. I just admire anyone who even likes to exercize!

Can't send any pictures of Lana - you'll see more than you ever want to see at the reception. I have ordered 30 banners to be hung in the yard! Probably too many but we think we did good narrowing it from the 8000 pictures (two different photo shoots) to chose from!

Bennett at 7 weeks

His face is just so cute!





Look at the curl when his hair is wet!


And this, well, it just makes me laugh!
