Carma and Roy Prete Decendants

I hope everybody likes this, I am also going to slightly modify it for the Prete Happy Land Logo as a better logo. (That's why everyone is smiling or doing something goofy.)

From, Anna

P.S. I made this on Microsoft Publisher- I love Publisher.(I copied it onto Paint for it to work on a blog.)

Danny's Family Photo

This is a picture of my family on a camping trip last weekend. Our faces might be shaded a little, but our two kids show up just fine. That's right, our dogs are like kids to us. They think that they need to have our attention all of the time. We take them on walks everyday, only five miles, and run around with them in the yard. Their names are Asia and Chewy, you could probably tell which one they are by how they look.

We have been working on finishing our basement and got the task done last week. Richard was nice enough to show us how to do it and let us use some of his tools. Another thing that have been going on is that Stephanie and I have been riding our bikes to work. Her work is about five miles away and mine is nine. We both have a downhill ride on the way to work which makes uphill on the way back, after a long day at work. Well, that's the basic update of what has been going on around here.

one more thing about the Carpenter Blog

HI
I had to put the Carpenter Blog on approval for viewing because of a nasty comment someone wrote. If you have trouble getting on, just email me and I'll make sure you can view it. I added 2 pictures so go take a look! Should be fun.

Carpenter blog

I just posted more stories on the Carpenter blog. Just typed I think 15 pages about Grandma Carpenter (Elizabeth Hannah Daw Carpenter). I hope somebody reads it! It's kind of funny, because it was written in 1977 and so many things have changed. Anyway.... hope you take the time to read it. Let me know if I made any horrible typing errors, let me know. I left Grandma's bad grammar, and some of her bad spelling, and a few things I wasn't sure if it was her misspelling or what, but I wrote it as she had spelled. I added a few comma's, but for the most part, it's how she wrote it.

take care and let me know if you read any of them.

Carpenter Blog

Hi
I've been typing and posting stories of our Carpenter and Daw and Smith ancestor's on http://www.lorencarpenter.blogspot.com/ Check it out! One of our ancestor's had two sets of twins who both died! SAD!!! Anyway, some good reading if you have time. If you don't have time, make some, as it really makes you appreciate our trials!

More Twins?

We should add another set of twins to the family history.  Sure, they were born 18 months apart, but clearly these two SHOULD have been twins.  

Hurricane Fay

HI
Got this from David today. He's in the path of the hurricane but I'm not worried.

"Things are still up in the air about it. I checked the radars this morning before I e-mailed you. Yesterday, a member showed me one and all of the paths were going to nail Sarasota, but I guess things changed last night, the storm is moving further south, but they're still unsure about the path. We got a preliminary evacuation notice from the Zone Leaders, but I don't think that we're going to. I figure that we're going to go on lock down and take shelter in our apartments. It still says that it's going to turn into a Hurricane just before it hits the coast, so it's not going to be a horrible one.

It should be very interesting, just know that the mission has a plan and will keep everyone updated as much as possible. The plans are if things get bad enough that we'll be moved inland and housed in the stake centers. We've got supplies and everything so it's all good. I'm acutally pretty excited. ;)"

Will be intereseting to hear from him next week!

Half Birthday

Today is Emily's 'half birthday', making her 18 months old.  She loves to climb on anything she can. She loves to play outside.  She loves to push her new doll stroller around the house.  Her favorite word is 'ought-oh', and she says it for EVERYTHING!  She loves to talk to her brother Ryan, who is 2 weeks old today.  

canning

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that my garden is recovering. I am making Mom's sweet pickle relish today with lots of zuchinni and some cucumbers. My house sure smells like vinegar. I will be ready to put it in my kids favorite potato salad and devilled eggs, etc. this winter.
I hope everyone is having a great day.

New house

We found a house in Lehi that we're going to rent at least until we sell our house in Boise! The official lease is for 10 months, but we're praying that our house in Boise will sell before then and that we'll find a house to buy here!
It's a nice place! It's 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths. It's not our dream home, but it will work for now!
The moving company will have our stuff to the house on Wednesday! We have the apartment until the 14th, so we're going to make sure we have the beds set up and the furniture in place at the house before we officially move in ourselves!
Our new address is: 3519 New Land Loop, Lehi, UT 84043.

Another Thank You

I just want to add my thanks to Brooke, Chris and everyone who made the reunion terrific! I am so thrilled at how well things went. It was great to see everyone! I thank those who stayed here for making this past weekend so awesome! Ya'all come back now, ya hear!

Thank you

I just wanted to thank Brooke, Chris and everyone else who helped with the reunion plans, put people up, etc, and all of the good food. It was so good to see everyone and visit. I am so very glad that there were so may there. I had a wonderful time.
