Happy Birthday, Jerel--A Man of Many Hats

Jerel is a man of many hats and seasons . . . . .

Here Jerel is enjoying beautiful warm weather and is wearing a California Angels hat because he is a CPA for Arte Moreno who owns the Angels. (Even though the Angels pay his salary, secretly Jerel has always been a Yankees fan. Shhh . . . don't tell Arte.)

Here is biker Jerel with a very big hat on.

Here he is enjoying the snow with his winter hat on.

When Jerel makes his mind up to do something, he has the tenacity to do it. Jerel has run in several Marathons. Here he is after running the Salt Lake Marathon in honor of his 2 sisters, Shannon and Lindy. After all that training and hundreds of miles running, I think his head band definitely counts as a hat. Way to go, Jerel!

Hats off now to Jerel for being such a great dad. He teaches his boys to both work and play. Here he is wrestling with them. I wonder who is winning. Click on the photo to enlarge it, so you can see all of the Bandaids on Tanner's leg. HMMM. . .

Jerel the devoted husband and father, who works hard to support his family and make sure they have the things they need, and also who sets the proper example of morality and spiritualty.

Finally, here is a photo of Jerel and Camille at my house 15 years ago for Chase's first Christmas. Click on the picture for a close up, so you can see them better.

Avery's birthday

Here Avery is opening a present.

She can't get the Panda Bear out, so Daddy Dee is helping her.

Here Avery is holding up the Little Pet Shop Dog and Panda Bear. When Avery saw the little hat for the Panda, she exclaimed, "A party hat!" Click on this photo to make it larger, so you can see her beautiful, big blue eyes.

Avery is wearing her new Hello Kitty dress in this photo. Click on the photo to make it bigger so you can see the Kitty faces on her black dress that she got for her birthday.
Here is another cute birthday dress. Again click to make it larger to see her pretty eyes.
Isn't Avery beautiful? Her birthday was a month ago, but I have been overly busy, and so I am just now posting her birthday pictures.

Karli and Grammy's date to the temple

When Steve and Jen went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House, they only were able to take Sage because Karli had some other place to go, so I decided to take Karli on a special Karli/Grammy date to see the temple.

Karli and I are standing in Jen and Steve's beautiful back yard before our "date."

Here Sage is posing in their pretty yard. (Jen is an expert at planting the right flowers, so something is always in bloom no matter what month it is in the spring, summer, or fall.) Although Sage didn't go with us because she had already seen the temple, Jen and Sage met us at Chick-fil-A for lunch after Karli and I were finished with our tour.

Here Karli is standing in front of the Temple.
