Meeting up with family!

As you can tell we got our first snow fall like most of

Utah did! It was beautiful up in Park City with the

Autumn leaves and then the snow if only there had been

enough to snowboard! Well we spent most of our time

in the WestGate Hotel up near the Canyons Resort. It

was a beautiful resort and we were the first ones to stay

in our rooms. The reason why we went up there was to

see our Canadian cousins. We love Dave and Marilyn's

family and always spend time around the table laughing

at old memories, playing games, or in this case watching

Ty's card tricks (he needs to work in Vegas). Lyndzi and her

husband Kyle and son Ryder (standing by Talon) are moving

to Australia in November so we won't get to see them for a

long time (unless we save a lot I mean a lot and go see them).

Brittany's (sitting with me) baby Evie is just a few months

younger than Jaeda and they weighed the same amount when they

born. Can you believe all that hair! She is a doll. Well it was

good seeing everyone. Family is the most important

thing in the world.

QUOTE OF THE MOMENT

A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete... Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
