And I'm not making any promises of keeping it updated often but I thought I would share our pics we had taken as a family. <br /><br />I am embarrased to say that these pics were taken back in September. Wow, where are my priorities? The fabulous <a href="http://jessieonealphotography.blogspot.com/">Jessie O'neal</a> took these pics and I did the edits. She was so great with us and our crazy family. Thank you Jessie! <br /><br />Jude already looks so different. But I knew that we would be expanding our family soon so post pregnancy weight and all I wanted to document our family with just 3 kids. And I am so glad I did! Just goes to show you if you are waiting to document your families when you are back to your goal weight....DON'T. Don't miss out on documenting your life as a family and YES your kids want you in those pictures. I promise! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/5372659873/" title="g-96 by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5161/5372659873_c1fb82fff1_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="g-96" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/5373258638/" title="Fam-3 by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5201/5373258638_43e532391e_b.jpg" width="900" height="650" alt="Fam-3" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/5373258796/" title="Fam-1 by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5045/5373258796_2f49e47d5b_b.jpg" width="900" height="400" alt="Fam-1" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/5372659697/" title="g-1bw by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5281/5372659697_a0ac8a4f7c_b.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="g-1bw" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/5373258744/" title="Fam-2 by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5207/5373258744_a7d8faf0c0_b.jpg" width="900" height="675" alt="Fam-2" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/5373258574/" title="Fam-4 by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5045/5373258574_145396e768_b.jpg" width="900" height="350" alt="Fam-4" /></a>Cameron and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12414255286945236725noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960239738284700717.post-50618888790585859072010-09-20T12:26:00.000-07:002010-09-20T12:33:37.914-07:00Happy Birthday Papa Lonnie!My Dad's birthday is actually tomorrow but since I am thinking about it now and I'm sure I will forget tomorrow I will give a shout out to the best Dad / Grandpa I could ever ask for!

He is finally 4 years old (he's been asking for months now when he would be 4).<br /><br /><a title="Maxsmall by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/4885723477/"><img alt="Maxsmall" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4098/4885723477_0594418e42.jpg" width="357" height="500" /></a><br /><br />4 things you may not know about Max<br /><br />1. His eyes, I've never had anyone comment on Max without mentioning his eyes. NEVER!<br /><br />2. He can do the best pouty face on command. It's really hard to get mad at him.<br /><br />3. He will melt your heart in about .2 seconds.<br /><br />4. He will yell at me for several minutes to get my attention just to tell me he loves me. I love you too Max!<br /><br />P.S. Since I'm plastering this event everwhere else I thought I might as well do it here as well. Sorry if you are sick of hearing about it. But really you don't have to play tennis at all to attend. The exhibition match and dinner will be excellent!And it's a great way for us to honor my mom at the year mark of her passing. I hope to see you there. <a href="http://www.oflovetournament.com/">www.oflovetournament.com</a></div>Cameron and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12414255286945236725noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960239738284700717.post-19460449432329071402010-06-28T12:31:00.000-07:002010-06-28T12:54:34.342-07:00Birthdays...<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/4248691653/" title="Brigham Small by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4040/4248691653_76b6db670f_o.jpg" width="750" height="536" alt="Brigham Small" /></a><br /><br />Crazy that 5 years ago yesterday I became a Mom for the first time. And being the terrible mom that I am I don't have any pics from Brigham's birthday yet. But I'm so glad I get to be his mom. 5 things about Brigham that I love...<br /><br />1. He is so thoughtful (if I do my hair differently or put on eye shadow he always notices and tells me how pretty beautiful I look)<br /><br />2. He is very anal...I like to call it particular. He definitely knows what he wants, even if it is the color of his cereal bowl in the morning.<br /><br />3. He is such a good big brother. He's been so good to help with Jude and Max the last few weeks. The other day I came in to him trying to soothe Jude by bouncing him up and down. <br /><br />4. He is determined. Brigham never lets anything stop him. If he wants to do something, he does it. We are happy that usually what he wants to do is not naughty. <br /><br />5. He is so trusting of us. If we tell him to jump off the back porch and that he will be ok, he does it. He doesn't ever second guess us. He has so much faith that we won't let him get hurt. It's a little scary for us, we always hope we won't break it.<br /><br />5 years later and now I am a mom of 3. Jude is almost 1 month old. Here are a few more pics of him. This first one is of Jude on a beautiful quilt made of my mom's clothes. I wanted this picture so badly because I feel like it represents how close My Mom has been involved with him and his life so far. <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/4743489940/" title="sbw copy by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4743489940_81ffb881f5_b.jpg" width="665" height="1000" alt="sbw copy" /></a><br /><br />This picture I took for my sister Anna who sent me this little outfit from her mission.

Not that I deprive my kids from this food, they get plenty for holidays and from grandparents, I just thought its probably better to not keep it in the home. Not just for them but for me as well, I have little self control when something yummy is home. This means...no chips, (besides tortilla chips), no candy, sugar cereal, etc.<br /><br />White bread is something we never ever buy. And I know 100% whole wheat bread is so much healthier but sometimes I just want a piece of toast on white bread. You would think after 5 years of not having it in the house I would be over it but seriously a PB and J just doesn't taste the same when you have to actually chew the bread instead of it just dissolving in your mouth.<br /><br />And all this talk lately about non processed food. I've been really trying to cut back on that as well but sometimes you just need some <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Cheetos</span> even if you have no idea what the ingredients are. I don't even want to look at the ingredients of an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Eggo</span> waffle, seriously scary to think about. But if you put some fresh strawberries / <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">raspberries</span> on top that makes them healthy....right?<br /><br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">OK</span> now I'm hungry. Maybe I'm just bitter for not being able to have all that stuff in my house. And maybe I'm bitter that for every pound I am gaining my husband is losing one. Not cool...what happened to sympathy weight? I'm blaming my complaining on the pregnancy. I only have 9 more weeks to use it as an excuse so you better believe I am using it :)<br /><br />Happy eating!<br /><br />Side note: Just so you don't have the wrong impression about us I must clarify that I have plenty of crap food in my house. Cookie dough, fruit snacks, ice cream, etc. I am in no way trying to say we are healthy eaters because that would be false advertising.</div>Cameron and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12414255286945236725noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960239738284700717.post-34567577477348788312010-01-31T21:41:00.000-08:002010-01-31T21:49:02.809-08:00A tribute to my youth....Cameron and I were talking about the recent fad on facebook to post a picture of your celebrity look-a-like (according to others). I couldn't think of anyone I had been told I looked like until Cameron kindly reminded me of how my family used to call me Kaiya.

Totally unexpectedly I might add.<br /><br />My sister-in-law informed us late saturday night that her sister had to give the new black lab puppy they had gotten their son for Christmas away because their older daughter was absolutely terrified of her, even though she was a really good puppy. I have been saying for a long time that we were absolutely NOT getting a Dog until we were done having kids but when I heard the story suddenly it became appealing.<br /><br />Cameron and I discussed it a little that night. Brigham over heard us talking about someone giving away a dog and thought that my Dad was giving away Sioux. He was sobbing in the back of the car asking why my Dad had to give away Sioux. We quickly reassured him that it was not Sioux we were talking about but seeing how much he loved Sioux was a convincing arguement, and he didn't even know he was trying to convince us. On Sunday she was brought over to my Dad's house for us to have a look. We fell in love with her right away....especially Brigham. And she came home with us that night.<br /><br />The hardest part so far was seeing this 7 year old boy have to say goodbye to his puppy at my Dad's. He was just heart broken, and we felt awful for him and his family. Thank you to the Hill family for allowing us to take your precious puppy. We love her already!</div>Cameron and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12414255286945236725noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960239738284700717.post-32503654726286377682009-12-13T11:55:00.000-08:002009-12-13T12:13:27.054-08:00Little things make me happy...<div align="center">The past 4 months have been difficult, to say the least. But I have learned to find joy in the smallest things because somedays its all I have.<br /><br />Today after church the boys and I were walking home in the snow and Cameron stayed at the church to help shovel the walks. Brigham ran ahead of me and a few seconds later comes running back with 2 sand shovels in his hands. He gives one to Max and then yells to me while passing by, "I'm going to help Dad shovel the snow at the Church!" I wasn't sure whether I should be proud that he wanted to help his Dad or laugh at the fact that he thought he could be a lot of help with his sand toy. Ha ha. It made me smile so I took a couple of quick pics to capture it.<br /><br /><a title="DSC_0889(2) by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/4181869211/"><img alt="DSC_0889(2)" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2689/4181869211_073964ebe6_o.jpg" width="678" height="450" /></a><br /><br /><a title="DSC_0892(2) by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/4182631394/"><img alt="DSC_0892(2)" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2734/4182631394_880b77406e_o.jpg" width="450" height="630" /></a><br /><br /><a title="DSC_0912 (2) by Shannon Garber Photography, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/4182631494/"><img alt="DSC_0912 (2)" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2673/4182631494_40e98f55a7_o.jpg" width="450" height="678" /></a></div>Cameron and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12414255286945236725noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960239738284700717.post-63357655750701969382009-08-18T22:27:00.000-07:002009-08-18T22:35:21.360-07:00We miss you and love you!

Despite her valiant efforts, she was overcome by an aggressive and sudden infection.<br /><br />Ardene was born on March 18, 1955 to Peter J. and Reah O. Ressler in Roy, Utah. She was the youngest of 10 children along with her twin sister and best friend, Arlene. She was raised in Roy and attended Ricks College and Weber State College. She was married to her high school sweetheart Lonnie M. Bullard on May 5, 1977 in the Salt Lake Temple. She dedicated her life to her husband and to raising nine wonderful children. She excelled in and deeply loved being a mother. She loved the out-of-doors and was passionate about sports and fitness, especially tennis, playing on many teams and in many tournaments. She never shied away from competitive games, even with women half her age. She had a passion for life and was involved in all the activities of her children. She stood side-by-side with her husband in community, business, and recreational events. Ardene and Lonnie were inseparable in life, one name rarely mentioned without the other. They know their relationship is eternal.<br /><br />Ardene was blessed with an unwavering testimony of the gospel and a great love for her Savior. While raising her nine children, she served in many ward and stake callings, among her favorites were: missionary at Hill Cumorah Pageant, camp director, Young Women’s President and Relief Society President.<br /><br />She is survived by her husband Lonnie and children Melissa (Samuela) Ita’aehau, Michael (Andrea), Shannon (Cameron) Garber, Kendrick (serving in the Tuxla Gutierrez, Mexico Mission), Anna, Denis (serving in the Johannesburg, South Africa Mission), Valek, Madison, and Dema. Also survived by soon to be eight grandchildren, father, Peter J. Ressler, and siblings Boyd Ressler, Susan Howes, Judy Daugherty, Holly Everton, Chris Ressler, Pam Woodall, Coral Taggart, and Arlene Racker. She was preceded in death by her mother Reah, and brother Laurie.<br /><br />A viewing will be held at Russon Brothers Mortuary, 1941 North Main Street, Farmington, Utah, on Thursday, August 20th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. A viewing will also be held from 9:30 to 10:30 AM at the Farmington North Stake Center at 729 W. Shepard Lane, Farmington, Utah. Funeral services to be held at 11:00 AM in the Farmington North Stake Center. Internment at the Farmington City Cemetery.<br /><br />The family wishes to thank the dedicated doctors, nurses and staff of the Intermountain Medical Center for their heroic efforts, compassion and kindness. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Perpetual Education Fund or the Missionary Fund of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.<br /><br />Ardene will be forever remembered as selfless, loving, and without guile towards anyone, always showing unconditional love.

We thought it would be fun for the boys to see it since they love my Dad's dog, Sioux. I had seen it before and bawled the last 20 minutes. Anyone that has loved a dog before has to cry at the end of that show, it's just sad. And it doesn't help that the dog I grew up with was a yellow lab as well. So yes I knew the ending, but every time Brigham saw a commercial for the show he would just laugh. Well let's just stop justifying and get to the point, my 3 yr. old bawled the last 20 minutes of the show. Seriously, it was the sweetest and hardest thing I have ever had to watch. Who does that to their 3 year old? And I really shouldn't be surprised. I know my child, I know how high strung and super thoughtful and sensitive he is. I guess I just didn't realize how old he really is. I didn't think he would really grasp the concept of death. When my Grandma died a couple of months ago we had several talks with Brigham about death and the resurrection. Sure he could repeat what we had just told him but didn't feel like he could grasp that whole thing yet. Well apparently he can and he did. Maybe it hit too close to home because of his love for Sioux. The worst part is, is that its not like we turned off the movie and all was forgotten, like we as adults tend to do. He continued to cry several different times as the night wore on. And his bedtime prayers were practically dedicated to Marley, and yes he cried as he prayed. But it really isn't all sad. He reminded us that Marley went to heaven and will come back alive when Jesus comes again. And even though we will miss Marley we will see him again.<br /><br /># 1 on my to-do list -teach my children the importance of Easter Sunday before Easter.....check.<br /><br /></div><p align="center">Cameron caught these with his cell phone.

To my beautiful Mom whose birthday was last week. It was her first birthday without her mother here and I know it was hard for her but she is amazingly strong. She is always positive no matter what life throws at her (which seems to be a whole lot lately). I love you mom, you are the BEST! We are all so blessed to have you in our lives!<br /><br />2. To my brother Denis (on the right) who got his mission call a few months ago and I haven't mentioned it on here yet. I'm not a great sister. He is going to South Africa and leaves in the middle of May. He doesn't even have to go to the MTC in Provo, he gets to head straight to South African MTC. Denis is hilarious and sweet. He's been so helpful lately and we will miss him so much, especially my kids. We know he will do great though! Love you Denis!<br /><br />3. Last but not least my brother Kenny who also received a mission call last week to Mexico. At age 23 that can be an even harder decision to make, especially because it's his second time around but we are so proud of him and know he will do great too! Kenny leaves the middle of July. He has the biggest heart I have ever seen and can ONLY see the good in people. We love you Kenny!<br /><br />How exciting to have two brothers out at the same time....there is just no greater gift they could give to my boys either than to set an example like that! Actually I should say 3 brothers, Quinn (Cameron's brother) is out already serving in Taiwan. We are so blessed!<br /><br />Oh and I better throw in this last shout out to my brother and my sister in-law and their two sweet kids in Iowa. They just found out they get to move back home to Utah for a year! WAHOO! My kids are so excited to have their cousins around for a little while, even if they do have to move to Michigan after. Mike graduates from Medical School this May and starts his residency this summer.

Two boys in underwear! Wahoo....I'm so excited that I am no longer in the diaper stage. And I could watch Max run around in his underwear all day, there is something about a toddler's little body that is just so cute. (no this doesn't mean i'm out of cleaning the accidents off my floor stage, unfortunately that is still a work in progress)<br /><br />And other news....wait there is no other news but I do promise to be better at updating my blogs more often.

If Reah met someone once, he was a friend; if she met someone twice he was family and most likely received a homemade quilt. She is a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Reah was born on May 10, 1924 in South Jordan, Utah to Gilbert Josiah Oliver and Iline June Rindlisbacher. In 1930 the family moved to Anaconda, Montana where she attended school. In Anaconda, she met her husband of nearly 68 years, Peter J Ressler. They were married on May 27, 1941 in Boulder, Montana. They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Ogden LDS Temple on May 27, 1995. Four children were born in Montana, after which the family moved to Roy, Utah where they have resided for 60 years. Six more children followed in Roy as well as 46 grandchildren, 96 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. Including spouses, her posterity currently numbers over 200. She knew and loved each one, and they knew she loved them through kind words, kisses, hugs and acts of service. Reah was a faithful member of several Roy Wards. She served in numerous callings, but will especially be remembered for over 30 years as Stake Girls Camp Director. She worked as an office assistant to Dr. Leon H. White, pediatrician, for nearly 25 years. She loved her calling in the Ogden Temple and her service in the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. Reah is survived by a faithful and loving husband, Peter J Ressler and by nine children, Boyd (Jan) Ressler, Susan (Nick) Howes, Holly (Larry) Everton, Chris Ressler, Judy (Emmett) Daugherty, Pam (Randy) Woodall, Coral Taggart, Ardene (Lonnie) Bullard, and Arlene (Rob) Racker. Also survived by brothers, Max, Robert, and Norman Oliver, sisters, Shirla Montgomery and Bonnie Openshaw. Preceded in death by siblings Don Oliver, Beth Spraycar and Lillie Zito, a son Laurie, a son-in-law Gary Taggart, grandchildren Daren Ressler and Shay Taggart and two great-grandchildren Kilee Huffaker and McKenzie Schultz. Funeral services will be held Monday, February 16, 2009 at 11 a.m. at the Roy 23rd Ward, 5930 South 2200 West, Roy. Friends and family may call on Sunday at Myers Roy Mortuary, 5865 South 1900 West, Roy from 6 to 8 p.m. and on Monday at the church from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment, Roy City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, Reah would appreciate hugs and kisses and donations to the LDS Missionary Fund.

I heard this song on the radio and had to look it up and share it with you Shannon.<br /><br />On Saturday Jan 24, 2009 it will have been 8 years since our first kiss, or 'first miss,' as I lovingly call it. It took close to 5 hours of talking before I finally worked up the courage to lean over do what "should've done ... a long time ago." I'm not sure why, but taking that leap from being "just friends" was scary. I was so excited, so nervous but so happy just to be sitting next to her in my crappy little VW Golf. I couldn't help it any longer. I loved her and wanted to know that so bad. She was my best friend. She changed my life and perspective on everything. She made me happy and I wanted to be happy with her. It was the best decision I've ever made to share that 'first miss' with her.<br /><br />We've been married for close to 5 years now and I'm still in love with her. I still get excited and nervous and feel so in love every time I sit next to her. I think I've gotten better at the kissing thing, but I still get that feeling of excitement of puppy love that caused me to close my eyes and miss the mark.<br /><br />So, Shannon although I wish they had this song 9 years ago to help me break the ice a lot sooner, I wanna dedicate it to you now. I love YOU!<br /><br /><a href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=50460866">Plain White T's - 1, 2, 3, 4 - Official Music Video (HQ)</a><br/><object width="425px" height="360px" ><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="movie" value="http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=50460866,t=1,mt=video"/><embed src="http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=50460866,t=1,mt=video" width="425" height="360" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /><br />Spread the love and send the email with this song from the link at the end of the song to the person you love.Cameron and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12414255286945236725noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960239738284700717.post-63501311131652047842009-01-08T21:08:00.000-08:002009-01-08T22:17:23.035-08:00National Champions!!!<div align="center"><a href="http://graphics.ocsn.com/schools/utah/graphics/utah-logo.gif"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 274px" alt="" src="http://graphics.ocsn.com/schools/utah/graphics/utah-logo.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I know you are all wondering why I haven't mentioned anything about my Utes being the bomb diggity this year?....Just trying to find the words to express how I feel about the whole thing. I found them....ESPN's Rick Reilly says it better than I ever could.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">"Some gifts people give are pointless: Styling mousse to Dick Vitale. An all-you-can-eat card to Kate Moss. The BCS Championship given to Oklahoma or Florida.<br />It means nothing because the BCS has no credibility. Florida? Oklahoma? Who cares?

Last year all three parties did and this year none. So whoever reads this and attends one of those three parties, please put in a request to bring Santa back.<br /><br />Christmas was a big hit as well. I really don't want my boys to grow up and realize that a 1 dollar slinky is not only lame but also that Santa is cheap. We were even able to spend a few days up at the cabin...but it wasn't nearly long enough. <br /><br /><br />Cameron is off of school for a couple of weeks and we LOVE having him home! His birthday was a couple of weeks ago and Max decided to get his Dad a very special birthday gift......a trip to the E.R. While Cameron and I were finishing getting ready for church the boys were eating granola bars. Max got up on the table grabbed the scissors and started cutting his granola bar. Apparently he couldn't eat the whole thing so he wanted to make it smaller. Logical enough, only he's two years and cut his pinky finger along with it. Cameron came in to a screaming Max in a pool of blood. He was still trying to eat his granola bar so it took Cameron a while to find where the blood was coming from. Once we saw the cut we knew it needed stitches so we headed to Weecare. They couldn't do anything for us and sent us to the E.R. Max hadn't cried since Cameron came in the room and found him but you could tell he was hurting so Cameron pulled out his fly fishing book and we started naming fish. The fish Black Crappie was a big hit. Go figure. <br /><br />In the hospital room Cameron made the boys ballons with those latex gloves (that aren't latex anymore). When the doctor came in Brigham went right up to him, held out his ballon and asked "Do you want to hold my hand?" I think it was about the funniest thing I've ever heard and me and Cameron were rolling. The doctor thought it was pretty clever as well. It came from out of no where and you could tell by the smile on his face that laughter is exactly what Brigham wanted out of the comment.<br /><br /><br /><p>Max's pinky has recovered quite nicely but I have a feeling that will not be the only time he takes us to the E.R. Just tonight he touched his thumb to a pan on the stove just to see if it was hot....it was. </p><p>Alright so I think that's it, if you've made it to the end of this post I am very impressed. It must mean you really like us....or you are really bored!</p><p> </p>Cameron and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12414255286945236725noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960239738284700717.post-41645839923589507092008-12-17T13:13:00.000-08:002008-12-17T13:14:48.315-08:00Introducing...<div align="center">my newest little nephew Jaxton (but not so little, he was born 8lbs 11oz)<br /><br /><a title="DSC_0048bwsmall by Shanz Photos, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31172035@N04/3116812850/"><img height="650" alt="DSC_0048bwsmall" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3194/3116812850_3658cb82e0_o.jpg" width="432" /></a></div>Cameron and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12414255286945236725noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960239738284700717.post-44023384427587881502008-12-09T08:54:00.001-08:002008-12-09T09:09:53.380-08:00SketchDoes anyone else think it's a little sketch that our president elect is coming from a state where the past two governors have been sent to jail because of federal corruption? I know I know, Barak Obama has nothing to do with it but I have to admit it makes me a little nervous.<br /><br />Check it out here... <a href="http://www.ksl.com/?nid=157&sid=5027909">http://www.ksl.com/?nid=157&sid=5027909</a><br /><br />ps.

What do you think? It really is getting pretty thick....he can thank his Daddy and Uncle Mike!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFNDPdzpDeodRlNiWzlZvmosBnOmws9GHO9MVSmbJz-ElO5x-gq9a7oRDUaryFbIhUuvJEK8s5hiqzCBlaCkj8KNnoVsKGp6bgsOCqrBfTSuQIVuWEzU3WfpnFf3_Mzze7MWxUM3gdILee/s1600-h/Max+copy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268729373644567234" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFNDPdzpDeodRlNiWzlZvmosBnOmws9GHO9MVSmbJz-ElO5x-gq9a7oRDUaryFbIhUuvJEK8s5hiqzCBlaCkj8KNnoVsKGp6bgsOCqrBfTSuQIVuWEzU3WfpnFf3_Mzze7MWxUM3gdILee/s400/Max+copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyxbgtntuFI9qUCHdws5oiZL07o-It3Z84Dw5fWfzu1ydzjHSutYz_W2AaZKujrjY3Bpv8bRVZ_Ovw5N5UzJ8JjMRe9EoAqMHeCamMm0IDWj9crxD9_3dCjtQLWNpHuKrjKy2Fx969_pmw/s1600-h/Max+copy.jpg"></a>Cameron and Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12414255286945236725noreply@blogger.com9
