Introducing Gabriel Irving Turner

I was born on Tuesday, Sept. 9th at 11:21 am.
I weighed 7 lbs, 12 oz and measured in at a lanky 21 inches.

Here's a picture of my dad kissing me on the head after I was born

And here's a picture of me and Grandma Oatsie.
She likes kissing me too, only her skin is a little softer than Dad's.

So that's a little bit about me. I'm only 6 days old, so there isn't much else to report, but if you want to know more, just ask. I'll be home napping with Mom.

Luna Love

Hey us again

to many pictures we realized that Luna needed some love.

the black dog is Buzz

Idaho

Hello all this is our first Blog

We thought we would share our trip with you.

As for the pictures I hope they go up okay again our first blog.

Alena, Luna, Buzz and I drove to Idaho. Where last year our stay was cut short by a Forest fire. This year we got to enjoy the cabin for a whole uninterrupted week of relaxation (Whiting Style) which means half work half play. The cabin is a cabin. No power No running water except the river next to it. Let's see on our trip we went hiking, we went fishing poor fishies got banged over a rock (part fun , part sad) we chopped wood for the wood stove and fireplace, we made boats to race down the river. Alena twice and Mikey won twice. we played lots of cards and I will not mention who one the most. She cheats. although she claims she does not. still up for debate. Mr Buzz asked Alena to Marry Mikey which made it easy for me. And she said "I guess so" which is better then no. We saw the burned forrest. and new plant growth. we went into town (Ketchum Idaho) and visited Sun Valley. we each read a book and made Smores. which when dipped in milk are amazing. here are some pictures we hope they look okay.

The Red Hatters (Rosemary's first Blog)

New Update from Chris

Lots has happened recently and I thought I would blog on the family website to keep everyone up to date. I'm pretty much starting over at this point. I have been looking for a new job. I took a job based in Connecticut in April. I had a hard time working with my boss and we decided that it would be better to not continue. I've had a couple of very positive interviews and am very optimistic in the near future.



I have been in Utah since January (these pictures were taken by Craig Tovey and are in Riverton, UT) I'm enjoying it. I've spent the last five months with a very lovely woman, Brooke Eaton. She and I have visited my parents twice and California once together. She is one of nine children and has 26 nieces and nephews. I'm sure there will be more to post soon.



I'm looking forward to the summer. I'm not sure it'll be in Utah, regardless of where it is I'm optimistic about everything. It's been nice having this family blog and I hope that the rest of the family (honestly Cathy has been the only contributor) will start posting and keeping our fan base of five people happy.

Absolutely ridiculous or pure genius?

This morning began like any other morning. I woke up, pushed the snooze button. Woke up 9 minutes later, pushed the snooze button again. But as I reached for my third snooze, something magical happened. A sweet, familiar aroma filled the air and oh-so-gently lifted me out of bed, cradling me in delight and curiosity. It filled the hallway as I tracked it all the way down the stairs to the kitchen. There, in a pan on the stovetop, was a flawless disc of golden, pancakey goodness sizzling its little heart out.

“Oh hello” I said to the buttery masterpiece, as it released a tiny bubble of steam from its tanned surface. I think it may have even winked at me.

Most mornings, there would be no time to enjoy this wonderful treat, let alone an entire stack. But like I said, this was something magical. You see, in an attempt to be either ridiculous or genius (you be the judge) our friends at Batter Blaster have invented quite possibly the most useless/greatest invention of all time. Perhaps with a name like Batter Blaster, no further explanation is required, however for those of you who prefer visual demonstrations, please enjoy the following program:

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!
