The Haggard Herald

So, I periodically watch some of the short videos I find on the church website . Today I found this one. It reminds me of Christmas for some reason, maybe its the bells in the background. This might be the most "G" rated music video I've ever seen, and I like it. It's a little funny. I think you'll like it too:

Last Friday, the day I flew back to Utah, Matt and I drove to Manti. I landed at noon and we were on the road again for Manti a few hours later. On our way into town we stopped at the cemetery where Grandpa Carbine and Annie are buried. Matt's Aunt Mimi recently got married and so there was a little reception for her Friday evening. Eli, Matt's 11-year-old cousin, came from southern California (he is the youngest of Jenny's children). The three of us went to dinner Friday night after we'd been at the party for a while. Then on Saturday we went up to "the cabin." Melory's cousin Russ took us up in his Jeep because normal cars can't get up there. It started out as a fun, sort-of-steep dirt road. Then the rocks started showing up, and then ditches that were 5-6 feet wide and 2-3 feet deep (from the water run-off). It was a bumpy ride to say the least, but it was so much fun. Matt, me, Eli, and Mimi sat in the back on the top edge of the sea...

There was exciting news from Matt's family right after I got back from Florida. Can you guess? Yes. A baby. :) While I watched my niece and nephew I thought I'd take a few pictures so that we can remember how big they were when #3 was born.

I'm glad I went though, and got to be with Sadie and Jax and Alicia. And I'm glad Alicia got a few long naps while I was there. And I'm glad the J familia and Mike, Sarah, and co. were around to visit with. And I'm really glad I got to help dad clean out my closet and get a great start on cleaning out the third bedroom upstairs. That was fun, Dad. There's something really satisfying about sorting through, cleaning out, and organizing a place that needs all of the above. Hope you enjoy the few pictures I have. I think Kimmy will appreciate them. (Sadie and I got the chalk out one afternoon. We wrote a message for Kimmy, but we didn't take pictures of it until later on when the whole caboodle was there. Hense, we got to have Joseph in our pictures with us. Sadie and Joseph wa...
