Tonight was a very great evening. We went to the Forgotten Carols. It was very nice. Lyonel came down from Logan, it was his first time to see the show. He really liked it. I love having my family together!! There is nothing better. Just an all around wonderful time together!

Thanksgiving

The Best part about Thanksgiving for me was having my whole family home!! YEA!!! We had a real house full, but it was so nice. Lyonel cut 1 of the turkeys. He did really good.
Friday Lyonel, My Mom and Me went to fight the Christmas shoppers. We had so much fun. But dang it is dark at 4:00am. ha ha! We really got a lot done, so it was all worth it!
We also went to dinner Friday evening for my Mom's 70th birthday. She was very surprised to see my brother and sister at Johnny Carino's.
It was a great weekend!!

Parker

Well I thought I would put a note in about Parker. He is such a great kid!! I just can't believe how he has gotten so big. He is really doing great in school and really likes High School. I think that Chelsea and Parker are having alot of fun being in school together.
Things at the Gammon hom are going good. We are all very happy and just loving life day by day.
I hope all is well for all of you!

Homecoming

Here is Chlesea and her date, Tyler. Homecoming was really fun for her. and she looked stunning. They had a great day at the state fair, then dinner and to the dance, then as always back here for movies. Very fun date for Chels.
I am also very proud of her, she recieved her Young Woman recognition award. So much work. She is such and amazing girl!

Nothing better then having my Family all together!!

We took a trip to Lake Powell right after Lyonel got home, it was great! We had so much fun. This is us after a HIKE to see the Indian ruins. Man was it hot. It was great being all together. We had a great trip, we wakeboarded and skied till we could hardly stand it. But we all loved every minute of the trip.
Lyonel is off to Utah State. He is really doing great. Working hard and yes playing hard. It is so nice to get to talk to him everyday as much as we want.
Chelsea just turned 18. She is really enjoying her senior year. Homecoming is this weekend so I'll have to show pictures.
Parker has been so busy with football. He is really loving being on the team. And I even think he likes High School. He has really grown up this summer.

Lyonel is HOME!!!

Well HE is here and man he looks great! We have had so much fun this last week just being together as a family. He really loved his mission and the people there. I do think he is adjusting a little, but he is realy doing great! I love having him here!!! Now he is getting ready for School. But it was so great having him tell me maybe I just want to stay home. Thanks for all your love and support while he has served!!

Only DAYS!!!

Well there is only 5 days left! We are getting ready for him to come home. I am so very excited I can hardly stand it!

2 Weeks!!!

You know it would have been great if the whole time would have gone by as fast as the last month has! I really can't believe he will be here with me in 2 weeks!! I know he is working hard out there, he really wants to end strong. Lyonel set a goal to get one more baptism before he comes home, It was last saturday. I am very proud of him. But I am SO READY to get him here. Thank you all for love and support while Lyonel has been out serving the Lord. He has really felt your prayers!

30 DAYS!!!!

We got Lyonels flight plans!! I am so excited. We have had a ton of excitement around us. Things are look good for all our friends and family. I just can't wait to hug my son and hear all the mission stories! YEA!!!!

Counting the DAYS!!

We have 49 days til Lyonel get home! I can hardly wait. He just got tranfered and he is also a trainer again. He is very excited about that. He will have to work really hard til the end. And that is what he wants. He has really loved his mission and is having a hard time thinking about coming home, but he is really ready to come home also. I guess it is a good thing he hates to leave. But I can't wait to hear all the mission stories and get to know about all the pictures he has sent home.

The Yard

Well we did it!! We got the sod on thursday 6/7/07. and it is all done. We rare so thankful for all the help! I still can't believe how fast we had grass. Thank you everyone that came out and helped us! You are truly great friends. So now I just have to finish A couple of flower beds and things will be great!

Yard Work!

Well we are getting close to getting the back yard in! I am so excited and tired at the same time. We have really worked hard, but it is really coming together. We got the trenches dug tonight and we'll start on the sprinklers tomorrow. YEA!! Hopefully we will have grass before long.
Things here are going good, we are all counting the days til Lyonel get home. 73 DAYS!!
Chelsea and Parker can't wait til school is out. They are ready for summer break. Just a few more days.
We'll I hope you all are doing great, Please keep our little friend Alex in your prayers. He has a long road ahead of him, but he is doing better today! We love you Alex!!!

Great Mother's day!!

Well I had a great Mother's day. We were able to talk to Lyonel for long time. It was great hearing his voice. He is starting to really get excited to get home. And I can't wait to just touch his face. We made the decision to stay home and just let him come home instead of going to the Dominican Republic. So we will just get things here ready for him! 3 month today and he'll be home!!
Ther rest of the Gammon's are holding up. Very busy. but I have decided that is how we like it.
Our sweet little friend Alex is just chugging along..He is getting stronger, but very once in a while he takes a step sideways. Then he gets really big and goes forward again. I am so thankful to his mom and dad for the faith and the great testimony they both have. They are truely amazing poeple! And I know that my faith has grown so much from just talking to them and feeling their testimony. We will keep Alex in our prayers. he is a great little man!!

My Missionary!

I thought I would add a picture of Lyonel. My Missionary. His is on the down hill!! Hi will be coming home on Aug. 15. I can really hardly wait!! He is working hard and really loves the People in the Dominican Republic. He is very excited to be coming home and starting his next collage life again. He will be attending Utah State University in the fall. I am very glad it is close! That way he can come home ALOT!!! I am very Proud of Lyonel and the work he has done as a missionary. He is a great example to our whole family!

Parker is 15!

Well it is about time to up date this blog. I have decided that I am really not good at this. But I am triing. So much has happened this week. Now it is almost a blur.

Parker turned 15. We really had a fun day. we went bowling . It was fun, we have not done that for a very long time. I can't believe that my baby is that old!

Our dear friends Jeff and Brynn had their Little boy Alex on Parkers birthday. He really thinks that is cool! We have seen such great faith from that family. Alex had Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. He had his frist surgery on Weds last week. And then on Friday he took a little step to the side, so surgery number 2 was Sunday. I was able to talk to Brynn today, and Alex is doing better today. I am so glad. What an amazing journey this little man is going through. And I do believe that the Lord sent him to this family because of the strength they have. I took the time to really read about HLHS. So that I could understand more about what Brynn was sharing with me. I am so glad that I did. Because I really learned alot and it helped me understand what they are going through. I am so grateful that she is sharing this with our family. Our prayer are with Alex and the rest of his little family!
Chelsea had another let down this week, she lost her elections. She was sad, but I think that she has learned so much. I am amazed at her for just trying! She is so strong, and really an amazing young women.

We are all doing good, just starting to count the days til our Missionary comes home!
