He Arrived Safe And Sound

2011-02-06T11:08:00.001-08:00

Sharrod arrived in North Carolina greeted by his mission president Brother Thomas and Sister Thomas. They feed him a nice warm meal with a southern favorite dessert of banana pudding. He was then taken to meet his senior companion who I understand took him to his new apartment just long enough to "push his luggage inside the door then off to work they went". We have not heard from Sharrod yet but will post his new address as soon as we get it. His mission president stated that he and his wife are very dedicated to the mission as well as Sharrod which means he has many strong and loyal friends already. They request supportive letters absent the affairs of home will help sharrod cultivate a strong start. We are so grateful for all of Sharrods friends and want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the great and supportive friends you all are!!

Mission Call

2010-11-20T22:57:00.000-08:00

Most everyone knows that Sharrod will be leaving for his mission on December first. He will be serving in the Brazil Sao Paulo Interlagos mission. He is very excited, and though he won't admit it, I am sure he is nervous as well. What a great place to be able to serve the Lord. I know he is going to be a great missionary and touch the hearts of so many!!! I am going to MISS HIM SO MUCH, but I know there are many who need him during this time. We feel so blessed to have such a great family that always shows so much love and support for each other. SHARROD WE LOVE YOU!!

Christmas Eve & Christmas

2010-01-23T22:54:00.000-08:00

Well this year as tradition has it!!! Yup BINGO on Christmas Eve. We had a great time even though some of us were missing. : ( It was sooooo much fun with the grandkids this year, they were at such cute ages, and they had a great time. We did pin the star on the Christmas tree for them instead of bingo, had our traditional steak dinner, opened our pj's, had our fashion show, and after the little ones were asleep we dove into BINGO. Christmas morning we did breakfast, cleaned up and then opened presents. The little kids faces were priceless when they saw Bongo The Bear that PaPa had gotten for them. : )

THANKSGIVING IN ARIZONA

2010-01-23T21:40:00.000-08:00

We spent Thanksgiving in the Arizona sun. It was really great to enjoy the company of each other, as well as, our relatives. We all enjoyed spending some time with the GREATEST GRANDMOTHER EVER!!! We stayed at a really fun house and even enjoyed the house pet Hank. Everyone in our little family made it except for Dre', Tonya, and the girls. We sure missed them, maybe next time. : ) There was this great soft ice cream maker compliments of Uncle Greg, and believe me everyone loved it. I think it was the reunion hit this year. We all look forward to spending more time with grandma.

2009-11-02T21:57:00.000-08:00

So it has been many moons since I did my blogin, and to tell you the truth I really do miss it. So here is a quick update. Since graduation I have been working with Carlos Mercado, MD which is a great job!!! Roger is busy working his tail off with the business A Hole In One, with Kenneth, and Sharrod well, he is busy getting straight A's in school, playing football ( it was a joke this year), and now he is playing Rugby which is awesome. We have more grandchildren the number is up to eight now and one more on the way in March. So to say the least LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!! LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!! LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!

Family Sunday Hike

2009-04-19T13:51:00.000-07:00

So a few sundays ago when Rem & Traci were here we went on a family hike. We all had a great time especially Sawyer & Brekken. It was funny because Papa found a little toad and showed it to Brekken. He put it in Brekkens hand and walked over to show Remington and Sawyer. Papa said Brekken show Sawyer what you have, but when papa looked down it was no longer in Brekkens hand. Papa said "Brekken where is your toad"? Brekken then opened his mouth to reveal that he had placed the toad in his mouth. YUK YUK YUK and YUK. The toad hopped out of his mouth hit the dirt and took off. It was disgusting but at the same time hilarious!!

Rugby Rocks

2009-04-05T15:18:00.000-07:00

So Snow Canyon High School decided to try having a rugby team. Yeah baby Yeah!!! This is so much fun to watch. We are all trying to figure out what is going on, what the rules are, and just how this game is played. Sharrod is doing awesome, and as it turns out he is a natural at rugby. His coaches love him as well, I have found that the coaches are great!! They are very inspirational to all the boys. NOW THAT IS HOW COACHES SHOULD BE. I hope the football coaching staff will turn out to be as inspirational this next football season. : )

Christmas

2008-12-31T20:11:00.000-08:00

So another Christmas has come and gone. We had a great time with our traditional pajama party, and the famous BINGO. I think Randi and Kenneth dominated AGAIN this year. I am pretty sure they have some secret bingo cards hidden that they pull out and use every year. We had a special guest this year for bingo it was Grandpa Russ, we had so much fun with him, and hope he enjoyed his evening as well. Kenneth, Dre' and Tonya made a fantastic dinner!!!!!!!!! This was such a great surprise for me and what a nice relaxing dinner. Kenneth made the best turkey and orange glazed ham WHAT A COOK.

2008-12-29T22:26:00.000-08:00

Off we went to find the perfect Christmas tress, and of course do a little ridin, shootin, and gettin dirty just like us boys like it. It turned out to be a very cold day, but we made it fun anyway. Brekken and Sawyer as you can see loved every minute of it!!

So it has been a while since I have been blogging, my bad!!!! I am going to try and get current and stay that way, I know my good friend JULIE BUTLER would appreciate it. Ha Ha Ha. Well I decided to start with the month of November and post Brekken and Sawyer on the big number ONE birthday party. As you can all see they love to be together, and without any doubt they loved the cake!!!!!!! It was hilarious, Sawyer was not so sure at first but, Brekken had no doubts at all he just dove right in face first.

What A Great Weekend

2008-08-27T08:35:00.000-07:00

We live for weekends, or any time like this that we can get. It was so much fun to have all the family together. It was such a great surprise to have everyone show, Remington tried to surprise us all by coming but, he could not help himself and spilled the beans to Traci. We went and supported Randi and Kenneth with the booth they did in the corn fest. Randi did pretty well and is now preparing to go to Swiss Days, and sell some more bows. Kenneth was hoping to win the horse at the corn fest. Sorry wish there was more pictures of them but, they were pretty busy. Anyway, we also went to the park which turned out to be way to hot, so we loaded up and moved to the water park. We had a great time thank you kids and grandkids for making your Gramie & PaPa's weekend GREAT!! We love you all!!

The Rainey Games

2008-08-26T09:12:00.000-07:00

So as you all know when the family is together, there must be some sort of competitions going as well. So we had a little ping pong which Traci is always the CHAMP at, but people are working on their game so watch out Traci. Then the games turned to the pull up competition Sharrod took the Gold on that, but I have to say that Annika was amazing in fact I think she did do as many as Sharrod so Annika took the Gold for the girls. Bench press was the next in line so you would think people would be tired but oh no, the show must go on. Sharrod took the Gold in the bench press also, with Roger pulling in for the silver. It was a lot of fun and very entertaining to watch.

Park City Retreat

2008-08-25T13:24:00.000-07:00

Every year we go to Park City for my "work retreat meeting". However, they claim that this is going to be the last year for a while. This makes us all very sad. I have decided that it has become somewhat of a family tradition, and must be carried on. We had such a good time shopping, eating, riding, swimming, and just enjoying everyones company. Randi & Kenneth were hoping that Brekken would be tall enough to go on the slide with one of them, but nope still a mile too short. Maybe next year Brekken.

2008-08-11T09:53:00.000-07:00

So I finally got my slideshow of Annika's game to work! I am not sure what the deal was but, I hope everyone enjoys it. She is #2 if you can't tell. She is also the smallest one out there by far, but she has a big soccer attitude, and full of fire. Everyone should go and enjoy one of these games it was a blast

So last saturday we went to Annika's first soccer game, and it was awesome! Annika is a little, and I mean really little ball of fire out there on the field. This picture shows the determination on her face, it was great. I hope these pictures will give you just a hint of how great of a player she is, and look at how small compared to the rest of the girls.

Birthday Bash

2008-08-06T13:42:00.000-07:00

Nothing like a good ole small town rodeo to celebrate birthdays. We went to the Enterprise rodeo with Randi, Kenneth, Annika, Sydnee, Dad, and I to celebrate the July birthdays. I have to say it was fun, and brought back alot of rodeo memories. Annika and Sydnee seemed to really enjoy it as well especially the rodeo queens, and chicken chasing. We will have to make it a regular event from now on. Kenneth says that Brekken is going to do muttin Bustin next year. ha ha ha that would be so cute, but he might have to wait another year or two.

2008-07-19T08:54:00.000-07:00

So Randi was going through some stuff that Shelly had given her, they were things that used to be Kenneth's when he was a baby. She came across this little mini scrub outfit, and I loved it. I immediately put Brekken in the scrubs, grabbed my camera, and stethoscope, and off we were to quickly shoot some pictures. Brekken has now discovered that when the camera goes up he sports a smile, and what a poser he has become. Ha Ha Ha it is so dang funny.
