One more week of summer

How will we survive without our lazy mornings and breakfast at 10? Our trips to the beach? Our movie marathons? Our late night readings of Harry Potter? Just one more week before we all go back to school/work/real life. I think I kind of like fake life better . . . .

On Tour

So who's going to see these crazies play TODAY at Thanksgiving Point in UT?!



Have a good show GOGO13!

Poor Hanna

I just found this little beauty of a movie on my computer and almost peed my pants.

Thought I'd share.

Cutest Great Grandma Ever

Grandma Nette and baby Claire

We sure miss you guys!

We've always questioned the inner workings of Cami and Hanna's minds, but I'm afraid this clip doesn't hold the answers. 

Just watch the movie, but make sure your speakers are cranked. 

You'll be glad you did. 

CRAZY DAY!!!!

K so this morning I went to the Deseret Peak Motocross track in Tooele. So my friend Jon and I were riding around. And there were two other guys there with two brand new 2010 dirt bikes. So we were just riding when those two guys invited my friend and I over to practice our starts. So we did a few starts when one of the times that guys bike died so he wasnt able to go that round. And my friends bike wouldnt start either so they just stayed and that other guy and I just went this time. We did a whole lap around the track. So when I got back they were talking. The guy was super nice. Then my friend asked this guy if he raced. He said I used to but then I went on a LDS mission. So my friend and I got all excited and we were asking him questions. And I said where did you go? He said to Ukraine. I just said oh thats cool. And then we started riding again. It didn't occur to me at the time that Uncle Lane was a mission president in Ukraine. So when I got back to the truck I told my mom all about it and she said, You should of asked him if he went to Kiev because Uncle Lane might have been his mission president!!! So I went out there and stopped him. And it ended up that he was his mission president!!! And we made some more connections and talked for a while. But its just crazy that we were in the middle of Tooele, Utah riding motorcycles on a weekday and made that connection with some random guy!!! I usually never talk to other people when I ride!!! Oh and his name was Elder Tullen!!

We're a comin'

These two moppy towheads (plus their mom) are headed to Utah in just over a week! We want to play with everyone, so pencil us in for the first week of August. We can't wait!

Happy fourth at JoJo's

A few Slades from far and wide gathered at my Mom's on Sunday afternoon for some good food and good company.

Jesse! That Cat's a stray! We're not being friends with her!

Okay never mind, she's really nice and we haven't started feeding her yet on threat from my Dad, but it looks like she's here to stay.

Do you know any other Great Grandma who is spry enough to lounge on a blanket on the front lawn? This lady's going to live forever.

This is Chuck's "Don't touch my meat" face.

Caleb took the kiddos on a hike to the Pond. They were gone for a long time and had a great adventure.

He said they all hiked great! It was such a gorgeous evening, and look how beautiful the woods are right now!Doesn't this look a little fairy-landish?

It was great to see all who came! And we missed the rest of you muchly.

Just wondering...

Did any of you pick up on Nick in the background of the picture of Sam at Mel's wedding? I'VE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD IN MY LIFE!!! Nick, you're awesome. The end.

Guess who's home?

Can you guess who I'm referring to? Here's a hint:

She got home from Italy last night.

I think we need to hear some stories.

And see some photos.

My Second Post

Here's my latest project, called "Ready, Set, Go! and Back"



Thank you very much,
Max

Photos just a little late

Hey all! Here are a splatter of photos from Aunt Melanie's wonderful day! I also made an album on facebook with all of the photos taken. Let me know if you want some more, I took a ton.

Summer?

I thought by the middle of June we were supposed to have hot sunny days, but this morning I walked outside and it was freezing! After taking some pictures of the snow I ran back inside. Now I feel like making hot chocolate or building a fire. Or putting up a christmas tree. Christmas in June, snow included!

But luckly it's warming up... Kind of...

At dinner tonight...

We were 'discussing' marriage...

Emmy: "Jonah guess what?

Jonah: "What?"

Emmy: "When you get big, you just go to the temple, and there will be a whole bunch of girls there and you just choose whichever one you want!"

Jonah: "Oh! That's great!"

Happy Happy Joy Joy

There just aren't any words to express the happiness we all felt as Melanie and Johnny were sealed for Time and All Eternity in the Sacramento Temple last Saturday! Now THAT was a good day. Welcome to the family, Johnny!

Belated by two days.

Sorry I'm late, you two.

You are strange. You are lovely. You make me happy.

Happy Birthday Caleb and Hanna!

I love you both. And I like you too:)

HAPPY B-DAY KENZ!!!

Sweet Hanna

Not that anything in this world is going to top that last post... but here's a photo of Hanna anyway:)

Isn't she all cute and grown up and stunning? And doesn't Josh look like the luckiest kid in school?

She'll be married by 19. Who's in on the bet?

Something Important

I'm. Getting. MARRIED.

I know, right?

Hey Jayne, we newly betrothed folk are going to try and have a blog, too! Tell me what info you need to get us contributing on here! Our url is http://sladestandgreatest.blogspot.com/

Blog Update

Hello sweet family!

Just informing you of my latest blog adjustment. Over to the left there we have what is called a Blog Roll, which lists our various family blogs on it. Under the blog's name it also shows the title of their last post and when it was posted.

Also - and this is cool - which ever blog was most recently posted on will be at the top of the list! So you'll know if anything new has been written or not.

I know, it's cool.

Please leave a comment if there's a blog missing that you would like on there, or if you'd rather not have your blog listed.

In other news, doesn't Taylor have something to share? :)

names?

ok, more pictures of those babies please! and names!

Happy

Hey famerly!
Hope you all are having a wonderful day!

My Mom is Awesome

Her name is Verdis Annette Howard Slade. How can you not be awesome with a name like that? I guess she didn't think her names were so awesome when she was young, so she went by Toni. All my cousins call her Aunt Toni, and I love that. She birthed six children and has 26 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. She raised us all to love the Lord. She sews, she cooks, she cleans, and she serves. She's a talented artist and poet, and she's also very humble about her talents. She's intelligent and wise and leads by example. I love her so much.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom! Thank you for being the perfect role model and for always loving me. You are beautiful!

He Is Here!

This is all you get for now.

She is here!

Welcome baby sister!  We don't have a name yet but we'll keep you updated.
