Gorgeous! Look at those good genes! If we can only work it right, we could have beautiful grandchildren together...nope, we're not opposed at all to the arranged marriage of Jack and Evelyn...he he he...
This is a good picture to help remind them of their love for each other...
she likes his "neighs" too...
she likes his "neighs" too...
Those of you that know Jack, know that he has very definite and set things or people that he LOVES.
The list:
The list:
- Balls - all kinds, especially basketballs
- Horses (he calls neighs)
- Monkeys (we can indirectly thank Sarah for that one)
- His blanket
- Chocolate Milk in the morning
- Eden
- Daddy
- His Nana (even though he hasn't seen her since he was an infant)
- The Farm Folk
- Juice (even if it's really water)
- Taking the Sacrament
- Cars
- His yellow Pajama shirt
- Cats
- Dogs (at a distance only, lol!)
- Cows
- Shoes
- Grapes, Strawberries, Raisins, String Cheese, Yogurt, Hot Dogs, Pasta
Anyway, I'm sure like most of your kids you could write a significant list, however he has another than i am try to capitalize on and that's Evelyn Clayton!
Since before Evelyn was born Amanda, John, and I have half joked about how wonderful it would be for Jack to marry her. We talk about arranging their marriage, and brainwashing them to love each other. I often think about the statistics about arranged marriages and how much more successful they are. Of course i would never make my son marry anyone he didn't love or choose, BUT i can certainly encourage him! ;-) Not to mention I'd have the Claytons as part of my family forever and THAT would be a real treasure! Oh how we LOVE the Claytons! Kind, righteous, fun, deep, excessively talented in many areas of life...who could ask for more? Oh and let's not forget the great gene pool of good looks the kids both have! Our Grandchildren would be gorgeous!
When Amanda and Phil were over this past Sunday she suggested we get a photo of Jack and Evelyn together so while they are apart (they are moving to Nevada in a month) we can remind them of their love for one another until they see each other again some day. Hey, we can dream right? And if not, we can always try for Dallyn and Sarah! ;-)

Thanks Nic. Bermuda is awesome, very expensive. The cheapest hotel room is 455 a night, so we stayed in a guest house for 160 a night, but had to book a year in advance. December is not good in bermuda if you want to go to the beach. It is not a caribbean island so the weather goes down to around 50 in the winter. If you book a cruise to Bermuda you get 3 days on the island and they say that is the cheapest way to go. Lunch was $50 each time and cheap dinners were at least $100 and that is for burgers and salads. We only did 4 nights, but so worth it. You guys look so happy. miss you. HUGS!love,kelly
