CONGRATS WHIT!!

We're so PROUD of Whitney- she graduated from her program in massage therapy AND got her first job!! It's been neat watching her become so knowlegeable about muscles, techniques, and assorted business plans. We had a fun night at her graduation- she received numerous awards that didn't surprise us at all- we think she's pretty great, but we were shocked when she got an award for attendence- in high school she almost flunked choir because she refused to get up in the morning and go!! Her dad has loved her being able to give him foot massages (is that daughterly love, or what?) to help him with his sore feet and she does a pretty mean neck massage. She'll start working at a spa in Orange in January after she passes her state and city licensing tests. I can't tell you all how much we love having her and Ryan close- being around the two of them makes Lynn and I smile because we know they're happy, love each other lots and are good to each other and their families- what more can you ask as a parent? So she's off to Utah for a few days of fun with her sisters and the world's most amazing nieces- love you Whit and way to go!!


Whitney with the MacLauren's and us!

Junie B Jones Grows Up and Goes to College

Lindsey decided to go private on her blog for many reasons (actually it's because she only wants family and close family friends to read about her trouble with the law and other various misadventures) and wanted me to put a post on my blog with her email. So if you would like to be able to read her further adventures in Provo you can just contact her! So here it is: lindseykershaw@yahoo.com

Chelsea's Pregnant & Halloween Fun!

So I realized today that I hadn't told everyone that Chels is pregnant and due in late May. Her and Dan came to California for the weekend so she could eat at her favorite Japanese restaurant which is the only thing she's been hungry for. We're all so excited to have another little addition to the family- I guess it's serious business to have THREE grandchildren!!

I snagged some pictures from both Mandy's and Lizzy's blogs- both of them have gone private and these pictures were just too cute not to share. I don't know where to begin to explain Liz's- let's just say that the law was involved and no, she didn't spend anytime in jail...yet! This was part of the story- you'll have to try and read the rest on her blog:

















"I thought I'd press my luck and ask to get handcuffed...I mean, that would have been a classic picture. He didn't even look up when I asked, he just said no way. As he was writing me up for my ticket he said that it was actually breaking his heart to give it to me...he said, and I quote, "in all my years on the force you're actually the nicest person I've ever ticketed...not to mention you are the only little ballerina I've given a ticket to, I'll enjoy sharing this story"...I asked if he'd enjoy sharing the story more if he didn't give me a ticket...apparently not, because he still gave it to me"

And yes, Jon is dressed as the Green Giant- tights and all!!

So next year, I am NOT missing Halloween with my THREE grandchildren, jailbird daughter, and jolly son-in-law!!
