Tomorrow is Maly's graduation and I am very excited for her. I still have a hard time with the fact she is old enough to graduate though. Rylee gets his license next week, he is so proud to drive Pop's truck. It really means a lot to him, thanks Aaron. Emi just moved in to a very cute house with some girls. I met one and she was nice. I think she'll have a great time. I'm proud of her for all her accomplishments. I feel so lucky to have such great siblings!
Hope everyone is staying warm in this weather. I have my heater on in my office:)I can't believe this weather! Well at least I don't have to do yard work ;)

Graduation

I am very proud of my little sister for graduating high school! She is such a beautiful girl and now she is ready to conquer the world! I cannot believe she is 18...I remember her being a baby. I just love her so much more than words can express. I am getting teary eyed just thinking about how much she and my other siblings mean to me. I am very grateful for them and the opportunity to be their big sister.
Sorry if this blog makes anyone sick ;) I just feel very emotional about my little family today.

Summer!

Summer is Here!! ...but I hear its leaving again soon.

The 90+ degree weather will be dropping down to the mid-60s later this week. I even heard Las Vegas has a "severe heat warning" in effect... is there such a thing for Las Vegas ? I thought that was a given ?

We've been out doing yard work during these warm days and trying to get our yard presentable. We finally got our garden planted too - now just hoping we can keep everything alive. We're growing tomatoes, jalapeños, peppers, cilantro, onions... everything to make a great salsa! We'd be happy to share too!

I've started Summer Semester at Weber - although one of my classes is being held at SLCC on Redwood. Its funny how SLCC is a "satellite location" for Weber - at least a few rooms are anyway.

Thanks Britnee for the motivation to write a little something on here... I need to write more often (on this and my own blog). I sometimes find it hard to think of things to write, but then anything is better than nothing, huh! Hope you're all doing well.

Oh my goodness, it's finals week! I can't wait for my two week break until the summer classes start. I need it! I haven't started my book club book yet and we are meeting in a week, oops


I know a lot of you have your own blog's, but I'm sure Gram and her friends that visit this blog would love to read someone else's updates rather than just mine :)

I got 98.5% on my Micro-economics midterm! What a relief! I was worried I wouldn't pass, so getting an A was excellent news. Let's see, what other news...I'm still fighting a cold, not fun. Oh Miss Maly is going to her Senior Prom Saturday, can you believe it? I am so happy for her. I can't believe it's been nine years since mine...yikes!
Hope you all are doing well!

Hi Family!

It looks like I'm not the only one you hasn't been using this blog often enough. Thank goodness for Aunt Lisa, always holding us together. I really appreciate you Lis and everything you do for our family. I am getting ready for a midterm, and I am worried I'm not going to do so good. I was in Cancun last month at this time, and I wish I was there now! I have less than a year left of school. I cannot wait, after switching my major enough I finally am close to being done. Watch out world here comes Britnee with her BS in Business Administration minor in Human Resource!
Oh! My house is offically painted and updated! All the traces of gold are gone, thank goodness. Too bad I didn't know gold was going up in price, I could have used the money for tuition ;)

Love to all! I am going to try to add a comment (at least) a month.

Easter Already?

Seems very strange to be celebrating Easter in March. Especially since we are still in the "winter mode" around here most days..cold and unsettled. How can we have an Easter egg hunt in our coats and gloves? We'll try to make the best of it any way. At least there is a hint of spring in the air, and that brings us hope.
Love to all our family, however far we may be scattered. Happy Spring! Happy Easter! May the love of our Savior be felt in each of our lives.
Lisa

Blogging

I am hoping that more of you will join in the fun of blogging. I am so amazed at technology, and don't understand most of it. Aaron has helped us join together in one place on the Passey Family Blog. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Computers are a lifeline for me, and I am thankful for them.
Thanks, Aaron, for bringing us here.
I love you, oh first grandchild!!!!
Gram

2008 is the new year..

Dear Family,
The holidays were very nice, thanks to each of you.
I am looking forward to this new year with hope and
resolutions to make it one of my best.
I count my blessings one by one.
Family of children, grandchildren, and great-grand children.
My sisters, their families, and my extended family.
My comfortable homes, both in Bountiful and in St. George.
The Gospel, which centers my life and my goals.
The beauty of the earth.
The land of freedom, which comes at a very high price.
Those great people who make it possible for me to be free.
The neighbors and the children and my dear Ward friends.
So much more...........
I love my family and hope we are all looking forward and not looking back.
Mom/Gram/Nan

Merry Christmas!

One more week until Christmas! It's unbelievable.
My wish for this special holiday time is unconditional love, peace in our families and our homes, music to bring the Spirit closer to our hearts, and gratitude for all the blessings the Lord has given each one of us.
I love you all.
Have a wonderful, blessed holiday!

Lovin' Scentsy!

Blogging...

Hello family, I think it's been too long since the last post! Since Aaron posted the last "Got Blog" post, we have created our own blog and I'm having so much fun with it! I've also recruited my mother-in-law Cindy into making one, and she is having too much fun with hers...check it out at www.cinhiker.blogspot.com
You can also see our most recent Stephenson family picture on her blog, taken this summer before Anna left on her mission. So, I'm also encouraging anyone in our family to create a blog...it's a fun and easy way to post pictures and tell about what's going on in your life! :)
I love you all and hope you are as happy as you can be!

Got a Blog?

Its a cold, rainy (actually SNOWING now) day here in Woods Cross - so I thought I'd check in on the blogs.

I've added links on the blogroll (favorites list to the right) for those that I know have blogs - If you have one and would to list yours on here as well, send me an email at boyntonsweb@gmail.com and I'll add it.

Also, if you haven't gotten familiar with RSS "Subscribe" Feeds, I would suggest you look into them. Its like subscribing to your favorite blogger - and you're notified whenever they post something new on their site. That way you don't have to open up everyone's blog every day to see if they added something. A simple Google search should teach you enough about RSS Feeds, but if you'd like to know more I'll be happy to show you how they work.

Hope everyone is doing great!

Sideways Rain!

Hey Family! I guess I haven't used this recently because I forgot my username and password! But I figured it out, so here I am! Aaron...I LOVE your new web design website! It's really cool! I wanted to ask you if you have recieved an email from a Kathy from St. George? She's Robby's mom Cindy's friend that wants to start up a little business. Then I was thinking I would maybe like some help either with a family website for the Stephenson's that maybe has some of my "crafty" things in it for custom made projects or something (picture frames, diaper bags...etc)....anyway, we'll talk more about that!
Anyway...it's raining sideways right now here in Brian Head, and we're just waiting for SNOW to start falling...it just looks like one of those days! Oh, we just have the prettiest view of the mountain side and watching the storms come in is really cool!
Linds...I love your new Blog site, it's such a great idea for your cute stories and "ramblings" that we are all sure to love to read about you and your cute little girls!
I know Gram is traveling up north today, and I hope she is safe and protected in this stormy weather. We are meeting her for lunch in Parowan before she heads up!
I think of my family all the time, and miss you so much! I love you all, Chelsea

Aarons Website

Hello Everyone! I just wanted to put a quick post in here about my new website - www.BoyntonsWeb.com. Yes, I've changed it again. I've learned a lot from the past sites that I've built and I'm starting to make websites for other people - mainly small, informational sites for small businesses or individuals (or family). I'd appreciate any feedback you have on my site - either good or bad - I want to hear what you really think.

If any of you know of friends, family, companies, co-workers, etc. that are wanting a website of their own, please have them check out my site and contact me. Thanks for the advertising!

Hope everyone is doing well - and you all need to be using this blog!! ;)

-Aaron

Welcome Avery. Cute name and very cute pictures. I was in the Bahamas until yesterday or I would have sent this before. It was a fantastic time. Very beautiful, warm and nice people. Hooray for vacation days!

Waiting for Baby

Oh my! This song is making me cry! One week from today, we'll see that sweet baby's face!
Just...can't...wait...
Love, Grammy Lisa

Brian Head

Hi family,
I posted a comment to Lindsey's cute pictures of Chelsea's visit. I still don't know what I'm doing...be patient with me!
Anyway, read that to see how our trip to Brian Head was.
Thanks, Chelsea and Rob, for letting us crash on your beds and be in your lives. We love you and that cute little Mr. Stephenson! Hug him for us...we miss him...and YOU!
xoxo...Lisa/Mom/Grammy

Chelsea's Weekend

Here are some cute pics from Chelsea's fun weekend up here. Lachlan is getting so big.

Wowzer!

Hi Family! I am a mess about the font on this site, let alone all the cute comments! I miss you so much! I will get my camera out and take some photos of the great life of a farmer's wife and Aaron can do the rest! What a man, Aar. I love you -- and wahoo about Baby Boynton for turning. You're in our prayers for a safe arrival -- and choosing a great name! Get out the genelogy sheets :)
Love, aunt dionne
