Wayne's Wedding

We are so excited to get new family members! Welcome Jessica, Taylor and Tylor. We will love having you in the family

NEW ADDITION!!!!

This new year brought to our family a new addition. Please meet Taeya Leann Schuman. She arrived December 31st at 12:27 am 6lb 6oz and 19 inches. She has a full head of dark hair.

Dennis and I were out of town so we are just meeting her. Of course She is beautiful!!!! What a wonderful miracle she is!

Mason is not too sure about the whole sister idea and Taeya is not sure about the brother thing. We are so excited that Taeya has arrived healthy.

Thanksgiving Day

Well Thanksgiving day is over but not forgotten!

We had the opportunity of going to Nephi to spend Thanksgiving with my Aunt and Uncle. They have always been a special part of my life. Thanks Beth and Jim for having my family for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful dinner and had almost all of our kids there. It was fun to have Leann and Mason with us!!!!! Mason is a joy to be around. The trip to Nephi was an eye opener. Grandpa (Dennis) and Mason sat in the back seat and watched "Cars". I would never have believed that a movie could keep someone so entertained and I am not just talking about Grandpa. Mason watched that whole movie. He also knows most of the dialog, I think he watches it often.

Allen, Wayne, Jessica and the boys met us there. I was so glad to see them!!! I love getting the kids together. It was a great surprise to have Jessica, Tylor and Taylor there. It is fun to get to know them. We were sorry that Jeremy and Matt could not make it but were thankful for those that did.

Now that Thanksgiving is over I guess it is time to concentrate on Christmas.

Ready or not here it comes!

November 4th 1976 to 2008

Anniversary

Wow, we have been married for a long time and looking forward to many more. We have gone from raising four wonderful children to being on our own. It has been different to have a home all to ourselves. Sometimes, that is nice especially when you can go a week without vacuuming, laundry, and picking up messes (course that changes if Mason comes over, he likes to take everything out and then the house looks like a whirlwind hit).Dennis and I have gone through good and bad times in the last 32 years. Mostly good!!!! We have lived in Provo, San Diego, Provo, West Valley, South Jordan and now St. George. We love St. George it really feels like home. We just wish ALL of our family was here. We have Jeremy and Leann in St. George and Allen and Wayne still in West Valley. Thank goodness they aren’t too far. I really enjoy when we get the whole family together! (This doesn’t happen often enough)!Dennis and I love to travel. We have had the opportunity to do some in the last 32 years. We have been to Hawaii, Germany, France, England, Alaska, Mexico, Washington DC, New York, Oregon, California, all of the church sites back east, Florida, Arizona, Ohio, Texas, St. Louis, and the Bahamas. There have been others places we have driven though but can’t remember all of them. We still have the goal of returning to Chile where Dennis served his mission, also we would like to go to many more places. It just isn’t going to happen for awhile yet.We have been called to serve in the St. George Temple. This has really been a blessing in our lives. We have had some wonderful experiences and have seen miracles in our family. We are grateful for the testimonies that we have for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and for the knowledge that we have in eternal life.
