We went to look at the lights at temple square tonight

In the beginning of December we got to go to Florida and Walt Disney World as our Ealey/Provost family reunion. We had a fun time! Almost all of my family were there, but we missed the ones that couldn't make it! The first day we were at Disney, there was a tornado a few miles away. It was so rainy and windy but it stopped after a while and we were able to enjoy the rest of our day. Some of us got the stomach flu and most of us got really bad colds while we were there, but I think everyone enjoyed the trip.

Here is Olivia with a cool Viking hat on.

They had these cool Christmas decorations in the Epcot park.

This is me with Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios in the background.




Anthony got to be in the Indiana Jones Stunt Show! There he is in the middle.

Emily & Anthony on some Star Wars thing.

The girls got to meet some Playhouse Disney charactars.

Grandma & baby Amy at the Beauty and the Beast show.

Spaceship Earth at Epcot.

Emily and Chloe stood in front of this mirror and thought it was funny to see "Tiny Emily & Chloe"

This bird with a sharp beak really wanted our food.

Parker was so excited that he got to drive our boat on the Jungle River Cruise! He did a good job.

You can't have pictures of Disney world without one of Cinderella's Castle.

The Saturn V rocket boosters at NASA. They were HUGE, the picture doesn't do them justice.

The tour bus driver at NASA said that the blue area on the US flag is the size of a basketball court!

Anthony & I in front of a giant gnome in Epcot.

We tried to take a good picture of the lion on the safari in Animal Kingdom, but the bus was moving too fast.

I think there is a giraffe somewhere in this picture.

My birthday was last week and it was my golden birthday (23 on the 23rd). I had a good day, my whole family called me and wished me happy birthday, and I even got to play with baby Amy a little.

The roses Anthony got me

The "edible arrangement" that my parents and sisters sent.

I didn't get this for my birthday, but Anthony wanted me to post pictures of our new tv.

Colorado

I went to Colorado the first weekend in October for Kyla and Alex's wedding. I got there Friday afternoon and got back to Utah early Sunday morning, so it was a short trip, but I did get to see all of my family that lives in Colorado and a few of my friends.

This is my friend Cassies baby. His name is AJ.

Olivia wanted me to take a picture of her with her puppy.

And Carley Rae "Fingers" didn't even want me to take her picture.

This is Kyla and Alex during their first dance as a married couple.

Preston, Grandad, Emily, Chloe, & Parker with their pumpkins. Grandad grows the pumpkins himself for the grandkids.

BYU Games

We went to the BYU vs. UCLA and BYU vs. Wyoming games the past few weekends. BYU won 59 to 0 against UCLA, a shutout. Then last weekend BYU 44 to 0 against Wyoming. It was the first 2 shutouts in a row since 1985. Here are a few pictures we took.

Anthony was excited to be at the game

In the very top row

The final score

Cosmo came up to our section for a few minutes

Stacy & Kurt invited us to their stake party.

I got this e-mail at work today. I liked this poem. And it being 9/11, I thought I would share.

'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'

You say you will never forget where you were when You heard the news On September 11, 2001. Neither will I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room With a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I Held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the Peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it Is OK..I am ready to go.'

I was with his wife when he called as she fed Breakfast to their children. I held her up as she Tried to understand his words and as she realized He wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a Wom an cried out to Me for help. 'I have been Knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said. 'Of course I will show you the way home - only Believe in Me now.'

I was at the base of the building with the Priest Ministering to the injured and devastated souls. I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He Heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat, With every prayer.

I was with the crew as they Were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the Believers there, comforting and assuring them that their Faith has saved them.

I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan . I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news. Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew Every name - though not all know Me. Some met Me For the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath. Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the Smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... This way... Take My hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me. But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You May not know why, but I do. However, if you were There in that explosive moment in time, would you have Reached for Me? Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey For you. But someday your journey will end. And I Will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may Be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are 'ready to go.'

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

-God

This is what we have been up to the rest of the summer.

We decided to sew a couch cover.

Here are the first 3 covers.

We went downhill mountain biking in Park City, we decided to come home on a mountain road. This is an overlook of the Heber Valley from the road we were on.

Brenda & her family came to visit one weekend. Here is Anthony feeding Kaytlin her bottle.

Missy & her family came to visit. I was having too much fun playing with Olivia and Carley to take many pictures. Here is Olivia with my purse.

Anthony has been golfing a few times this summer.

We went camping near Lava Hot Springs. We rented tubes and floated down the river, which is full of lava rocks. I fell off my tube and got scraped up on the sharp rocks. Anthony lost his shoes in the river. We had a fun time, but forgot to take any pictures.

On Labor Day we took our Jeep to the top of the mountains near Bountiful. Anthony decided to go for a run. (He fell too)

On our Labor Day ride, we found some sheep! There was a sheep dog with them but he didn't let us get close enough for a good picture.

Looking out over the Great Salt Lake from the top of the mountain.

A picture of some ponds below us. The white spots are little boats.

Another view of the Great Salt Lake.

And another.
