Debbie finally gets to meet Cosmo!

We went to the BYU - UNLV game in Las Vegas on Saturday the 13th. We drove down with our friends, Doug and Jean Wood to St. George. There we had a birthday lunch with Crystal and then drove to Las Vegas for the game. We sat in the BYU fan section and had a lot of fun cheering for our team. Cosmo came over and we got a picture with him.

Don's Birthday fun

This year I had the oppurtunity to turn the double nickle. A family I had been helping in painting their house decided to take me out for my birthday on August 31! It was fun, we went to ChuckaRama, an all you can eat place. And had a great time talking and eating and listening to stories and normal things like that.
On my birthday I got well wishes from the Colorado gals and the boys actually gave me a card this year. During the day I was busy installing deadbolts and door knobs for a company that decided they needed to move. Turning the double nickel was fun to look forward to and I hope to enjoy life for a long time to come.

Our Cute Little Kalli!

Blake, Crystal and Kalli

We have had a busy summer! Blake has been working hard at Well's Fargo as a manager and I've been busy working at Mckay Dee Hospital as a nurse. I've recently been taking critical care classes at Ogden Regional Hospital so I can start working in the ICU. I also work on the Pediatrics Unit during the winter. Kalli will turn 18 months old this month. She has brought so much joy into our lives and we love her so much. Kalli is starting to talk and will say "thank you," "juice" and "cheese (and many other words). It is so fun to watch her learn and grow. Hope you enjoy these pics!

The Stanford Family!

This is beautiful Bella Vista, Arkansas. It was green and lush with lots of lakes and trees. Here is Tom, Debbie, Courtney and Tyler as we walking down to the lake so Tyler could take a swim. The water was warm and very nice, but only Tyler decided to swim with the fish!

Here is what is inside the Cache box. You sign a paper with your name and where you are from and if you want you can take an item from the cache and put in another fun trinket.

Geo-Caching

We discovered a new fun activity at the reunion and that is geo-caching. There are thousands of caches (little boxes) hidden all over the world. You look up the info on the internet and then you plug the coordinates into your GPS and go and find it.

Here Derek found the cache in the woods under a log or rock. Sometimes these little devils are hard to find. The GPS can only get you within 5 - 10 feet and then you are on your own to find it.

Arkansas Family Reunion

Here we are the whole Bjelde Clan for our Arkansas reunion. We had a lot of fun, which we always do when we are together. We stayed at Bella Vista, Arkansas for about five days.

Getting Started

This is our first attempt at creating a blog site. We decided at our last family reunion that this could be a good way for all of us to keep in touch.
