New Years, 2011 here we come!

So I thought it was interesting to see every status I posted on Facebook during 2010 with the new year, I thought I'd post them here. I found out I spell very poorly and also that I posted a lot more than I thought.

We spent new years down in Scipio, we stayed at my grandparents over night but were invited to my Uncle Randy's house to party with all of his kids and their families. It was wonderful to see my cousins and spend some time with them. We were tired early though and I was the only one of us four up to see the new year come in, even if it was from bed while waiting to fall asleep. Here are some pictures from our weekend.

Abi and Connor my cousins little boy. Abi kept feeding him, he was very patient with her even when getting poked in the eye with the bottle.

Abi and my cousins kids she was the only one who cared to look at me the rest were busy watching a movie or jumping on the bed.

Some of my cousins and cousins in laws dancing with the Wii.

Katie, Traci, Kari, and Rahny.

John and I are looking forward to this new year. We hope for many great things for us as well as for all our friends and family.

August 2010 Scipio

The second Saturday of August every year is the Memmott family reunion. The Memmotts are on my mom's side of the family and they have a huge reunion for all the descendants of John and Thomas Memmott who were brothers that joined the LDS church in England way back in the day and then came to Utah with many other pioneers. Their families settled in Scipio, Utah and that is where my mom grew up. I have a feeling we will be much more involved with the reunions than we have been before as my mom has been made President of the Memmott family organization.

John and I were excited to go down to Scipio for the first time in a while. We don't have pictures from the actual reunion but we do other pictures from while we were down in Scipio. Enjoy!

My brother Jay and his son Luc. John went shooting with them on my Grandpas land on the North end of Scipio.

Looking back towards the town. Can you see it?

My Great Grandpa Farr's old home. I think it's amazing it's still around.

We spent a lot of time playing in my Grandparents front yard.

Katie spinning.

John had a grass hopper on his hand.

Napping in the living room. Katie truly is her daddy's daughter (Look at the book she is snuggling).

We went for a short hike by Maple Grove Campground.

The end of more spinning.

Abi having bath time in the sink.

We had a great time and look forward to the next time we can go down to Scipio to visit.

Playing catch up one post at a time" Grandpa Jay turns 90

On June 26 my Grandpa, Jay Memmott turned 90.
He is an amazing man, as a young man he served in WWII as a mechanic and spent a lot of time in France during that time. When he and my Grandma were married they drove up to Salt Lake and eloped at the court house, they have three children my mom and her two brothers. He has done both dairy and beef farming growing his own hay. He still gets out to take care of his cattle most days and if the cows are in the coral by the house he feeds them morning and night. Grandpa Jay is loving and caring, I love to get a hug every time we see him.

We had a big party in his honor on Saturday June 27th. I think all but 2 of his grandchildren were there. It was so much fun to get together with so many cousins and enjoy being a big family. I'm so glad Katie has been able to get to know her Great grandpa a bit, she is named after his mom after all.
