 Carol Cannon-I'm pretty sure I said something funny. (Ha Ha)

 Carol Cannon & Maren Gilbert

 HUGS...what its all about every year

 one mama is "loosing" her little girl to the MTC this week

 Brad & Tammy Kilpatrick

 Matt, Steve & Rich ...guy talk

 Dorien & Gerolyn, please excuse my 7 side chins in this picture--good gravy!

 Jill Hirst & Laurel McConkie

 Mike, and the baby (who's name both HE-the dad-and I have already forgotten)

and James McConkie...lawyer, bishop and gospel doctrine teacher extraordinaire.

It was sooo funny, this baby is their 5th, all the moms were cooing over how cute

he was and asked his name.  Mike (baby daddy) drew a complete blank

and turned to Jill to ask her what his name was.  It was seriously a priceless moment!

 Gerolyn & Rachel catching up over good food

 Darci Hall and Tammy ...they get prettier every single year. I wish I aged

half as well as these two ladies!  SERIOUSLY!

 More man talk...some story about taking the "son in law to be" hunting,

he (son in law to be) gets caught on a barbed wire fence and snags his pants

in a really bad place.  Apparently he proved he's still manly enough to be a part of the family now.

Vaun Hall and Kyle chatting about life...

(vaun is a bishop in the ward over from us now--i knew him when he was 14, we

STILL joke about that one)
