Karen's Surprise


Last weekend we had a great surprise for Karen. She has been an elementary school teacher for 26 great years and since we are so proud of her we decided (all of the family) to have a surprise weekend party for her and to celebrate all she has done over the years.

With every ones help we were able to get the whole family here for a surprise party on Friday night and a family picture Saturday morning. I believe it's been almost 4 or 5 years since we've had every one together to have a family picture. It was so great to have everyone there and even more special to have surprised Karen. We love you Karen!


It was so fun to have everyone over at our place. It reminded me of all the Thanksgivings and Christmas's' we would spend down here when it used to be Grandma Harmon's.




Here we are watching the videos all of us made for Karen.






Brett and Mindy's family


Spencer, Rheina and family

Michael and Danielle's family

Ty and Kim's Family

Us, the ODD balls off the whole group!

Glenn and Kristen's family.....with one on the way.

The Whole Fam

and all the Grandkids!

After the family pictures, we all went to ihop for breakfast and while we were waiting for our orders to be taken the waitress asked us what group we were with. Scott said, "uhm, we are all in white, can't miss us!"

We really had a great time!!! Congratulations Karen!!

and thanks Scott for taking some really awesome pictures of everyone!!!

  3. What great pictures! That really was a fun weekend. We love visiting Utah. Thanks for being such great hosts while we were there. Now it's our turn again in a couple weeks for the blessing. Wish you guys could be here, but I know you'll have a ton of fun in Oregon. Can't wait to see pictures of that trip!

  4. P.S. Thanks for sending the pillow we left (totally not necessary) and the book. I can't wait to read it before the movie comes out. I figure if I use my five spare minutes I get all to myself everyday for reading, I'll have it done by, oh, 2010. ;)

  8. Amazing that you got the picture of all the kids in the air! Very impressive Scott! I can barely snap one of one kid in the air. Super cool. The other family shots are incredible. Love the setting.

  9. That seriously sounds completely heavenly right now (with the exception of the fire experience!). I love the way you document your adventures- I feel I can live vicariously through your journal entries :).

    We love you guys and thanks for all you've done this year for the fam- huge pics, organizing the fam campout, dying my hair for my b-day... you guys rock!
