Happy Halloween!

Hello All! I know you all have probably seen some of these on facebook, but for those of you that aren't on there (like myself), here are some Halloween photos to laugh at.

I ended up dressing up 4 times and let me tell you, that was a little too much! Mostly because I had to be something different each time. I know, I'm weird!

That being said, Dan almost matched me: he dressed up 3 times. Wow!

Just kidding--I did a recount and I dressed up 5 times! That HAS to be some sort of record.

Here are some pictures of a few:

On a glacier
Mom and Dad somewhere beautiful! They recently went on a 2 week trip touring 7 or 8 temples in the Northwest. Mom "JoAn" handed us (Jenelle and Andy) there camera couple weeks ago and asked us put some pictures on the family blog. I'm not sure what all the pictures are of. But we will pick some anyway.
Mom with a Moose... I have no idea where!!
Here sits Dad "Keith" Young in front of the Cardston Alberta Canada temple.

Note New Photo

I decided to update the blog header photo to this year's family reunion pic.  Yes there are some missing people, but we'll live with it until we can get a better one.  Or until I figure out how to photo shop everyone in. :D

OW YOUNG Reunion

These are photos from the Odin and Rhodora Young Family Reunion held July of 2009.  We had pretty good turn out, but for those of you who couldn't make it we hope you will enjoy this taste of the fun.   I will add to them as I receive others so check back.  
Above we have Keith Young, Dennis Young and Bob Wilcox.  Some of the old farts.  And below we have Larry Hansen, Dennis Hansen and John Young.  Some of the less old farts.

There was lots of standing around talking. And sitting around talking.  

We went hiking and saw some beautiful flowers.
We don't think anyone was actually buried here but it would be a nice place to be buried.
We were told we were headed for the cave over there.  It never seemed to get any closer, but we heard that some people actually got there.
See the happy campers on the trail.



This is the lodge where we stayed.  New arrivals in the parking lot.

MTC Fun

I thought I would just share with you how serious the flu is at the MTC and how seriously we are taking it.  And if I could figure out how, I would make this stop underlining.  :)
Ellen, Teddy and Jolynn-  The 3 not- so-little pigs. Ellen made our tops.  If people think we are half as fun as we think we are then we are hilarious.  
Do you recognize my new secretary.  She has been invaluable.  Dr. Brown asked what I was paying her and I told him I gave her birth and what more could she want.  She was the worst one too- a whole 4 1/2 hours of labor.  And a whopping 8 1/2 pounds.  But she has been worth her weight (current- not birth) in gold the last 2 weeks.  She has taken more temps than a weatherman.  And created a spreadsheet for tracking districts getting meds that has saved me much time and tylenol.  So I took her to Ripple's for dinner.  And helped her eat her fries.  

Sisters Weekend

For those of you who missed the wild weekend.  Wish you all could have come.

Contrary to appearances Trudy is having fun and she won.  

Keilani has been working on her art skills.

Megan's Shower

Just wanted to share some of the fun we had at Megan's shower.  Wish you all could have been there.  And that we could have been at Lauren's.

As you can see we had a nice crowd.

We played around. :)
We ate some yummy food.  You don't want to mess with Trudy when there's food.
We did not eat this cake.  A little too much fiber.
We opened presents.
And then tried some of them on.  

Some of us are obviously not headband people.

Happy 75th Birthday Grandma Young!

She doesn't look a day older than 30!

Look at that smile! We love you mom!
