A Visit to Shellpoint

I had a great trip to Fort Myers to see mom and dad. They look good and we had fun just being together. Mom had to beat me twice at war - she always did like to win!

Mom and I

Hey Grandma! You look pretty sexy with your fuschia power fingernails and sunglasses!

Missionaries

Meet Elder Mattei and the future Elder Brockbank!

Elder Mattei saying goodbye

I heard RJ say recently (in a talk at church) that when he is asked how many siblings he has he tells them none - but - he has five mothers! He has enjoyed being the youngest and only son.

Pageant 2009

RJ really liked his beard and these two had way too much fun at pageant this year! Good memories - now Spencer is in Florida serving a mission and RJ is in Salt Lake serving his - I guess they figured out how to make good choices after all...

Graduating from the University of Utah

What a beautiful day! Almost all of the family was here in sunny Utah to celebrate Sarah receiving her masters in nutrition - way to go Sarah! We love you!

Engaged

Rachel and Ryan are getting married in August and we are very excited for them. A great looking couple!

Leaving on a Mission

We are so proud to have a missionary in the field. RJ is serving in the Utah Salt lake City mission which covers Salt Lake, part of Nevada, and part of Wyoming. We miss you!

Who is that handsome dude with all of the beautiful women hangin' around him?

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY GRANDMA!!!

If grandma looks a little tired I think it might have something to do with that cute little man she's holding!

Now who would this character be? Oh my gosh - it's the Great Dahlmuti himself!

Looks like someone is resting during a break from shovelling the driveway! He said he wanted snow when he came home for Christmas so we obliged with about two feet of it. . .

When dad and I went to Atlanta to visit Jes and Kevin we all took a trip to the Aquarium. While there Jes and this big fish developed a close relationship. Jes found it very difficult to move on to the next display. . .

I believe that this would be nosy Mr. Winston and Miss gad-about Gidget making sure they don't miss anything that might be going on! Or is that Miss Penelope and Gidget???

Jes does volunteer work at a place where handicapped people come to ride horses. She does everything from lead the horses when someone is riding to brushing the horses to cleaning stalls to scooping poop. When I went for a visit she invited me along to help. It was quite an experience. This is the owners horse and he is quite a character - if you get to close he will try to bite! The other horses are quite tame and friendly.

On the way home from NJ one week dad took me to the Orange County Chopper store/museum/workshop. We were able to see a lot of the motorcycles they've built . I believe this is the Spiderman motorcylce. It was very interesting and fun.
