Bishop Guttery and Rylee share the same birthday on April 12th - he kept calling her his "Birthday Buddy" and made her feel extra special. He's one amazing Bishop!

The day was so great! The baptism started at 10am and we only really started 5 minutes late. G-ma J spoke to her about Baptism, Sister Glenn spoke about what it's like to teach this age in Primary and watching them progress in the Baptism year, G-pa J spoke about the Holy Ghost and Bishop Guttery asked me, her Mom, to bare my testimony then he ended with some remarks and a welcome to the Shamrock Farms Ward! The spirit was strong and I could tell that Rylee was trying her hardest to take it all in. I've never seen her sit so still!! Every time someone mentioned that she was clean and her sins were wiped away, her eyes would light up! I loved that! She is such a special girl and I love her to pieces!
I'm proud of you Rylee and your choice to be Baptized!

Rylee, Grandpa Felshaw loves you very much. You look so pretty in tnat white dress. AND, I am very pleased that you want to be like Jesus, the Son of God. That means that you are a special daughter of God. And HE loves you too. I wish I was there to give you a big hug and maybe a big mushie kiss too. I guess Mommy and Daddy will have to do that for me. Learn to love to read the scriptures like Granpa does. Love You!

YAY! Congratulations Rylee!

I love the bow-tieing picture. Looks like a prelude to another special day with another beautiful white dress. I know I wasn't really ready until my dad tied my bow on my wedding dress! It's one of my faves with my dad!

I love all her pictures. She is a gorgeous girl!

A Game of Memory

By Pam Jorgensen -

STOP "JUST LOOKING" AND PLAY, DAB-NABBIT!! Okay, I am stealing this from a friend's blog, but I think it will be fun. Here's how it works: 1. As a comment on my blog, leave one or more memories that you and I had together, or just some memory of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot. Anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. :) If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments or send you an email. (You know, you non-bloggers can still post comments. Just click "comments" below this post...) It's that simple! I hope everyone will play!

A Huge Sigh of Relief!

After 16 years working for Intel Corporation without fear, Scott was finally a wee bit worried when the latest round of lay-offs was announced. Sometimes they eliminate the ones who've been there longer. Sometimes they get rid of the new guys. Here in Arizona - Scott was both. He's been with Intel for 16 years but was one of the newbies at this site. This was the first time we felt nervous. Intel announced they would be eliminating about 10% from each of their sites world-wide. That meant 300-400 jobs lost here in AZ. They announced this MONTHS ago. They kept putting off the final date to let us know if we had a job or not. They kept us hanging, hoping, wishing, PRAYING, wondering... Until tonight - Scott's job is SAFE. He will keep his job. HALLELUJAH!! In an effort to avoid being jobless, homeless and faithless, Scott decided to contact his former boss (the good one, Larry) to see if there were any options back in Albuquerque, NM (or Rio Rancho which is where...

15 Years - that's right...you heard me!

2 dozen roses and a Sonic drink! What more could this girl ask for? How 'bout this? A new wedding band! (Scott wants it to be called an Anniversary band) I've always loved my original ring. Scott picked it out himself with only one suggestion from me...I like baguettes. He did a great job. As I have gotten older though, I have had a new desire. A ring that will not cause bodily injury. I can't tell you how many times I have innocently swiped my hand and a poor, unsuspecting soul (usually one of my kids) gets a scratch right up their face! Carson won't give me a fist bump because he's scared of the ring. And I only had to hint to Scott ONE time and it was quite a while ago!! I'm a simple gal. I don't wear jewelry often. It took me YEARS to get use to my wedding ring and finally not take it off every night. This new band is PERFECT! Simple yet so pretty. Thank you my dear, dear Scotty. This 15 years has been so fun! Let's do it again! Aw...what the heck!...
