Christmas Letter 2008

Say Goodbye to August

What a week we had! School started and we've already played hooky. We went to Park City to visit our Aunt Mary Ann and Uncle Steve who came to visit from California. Mary Ann is battling breast cancer and Steve is her knight in shining armor...who captured the lady taking her to Utah for a well-deserved vacation. We rode the Alpine Coaster and Alpine Slide. We definitely recommend the coaster, but skip the slide! (Way too slow!) We played in the pool, ate and had a wonderful time. A mini vacation that was so nice. We wouldn't have traded it for the world.

We just got home from Adam & Emily's wedding dinner--and can't wait for the wedding tomorrow (August 30th in the Manti temple.)
What a beautiful couple. It was a great night and Jared's family will be at the temple tomorrow. All of us will be there, but Rachel who is sick. We'll miss her and wish her better health. My brother, Chris also arrives from Germany this weekend. We're so lucky to see him again....we need him to bring Cristi too. It's been a long time since we've seen her and we miss her.

It's going to be freezing here on Labor Day, so much for plans to the lake. We'll probably just hang out and do the regular thing. We're getting excited to go to Greece...just 30 days away!!!

Oh What a Beautiful Morning

We're starting out our holidays the right way...with family. My brother, Adam and his wife Mandy are visiting from Missouri. My kids are so happy they have cousins visiting. So it is a non-stop festival of parties, get-togethers and outings. We'll post the pics as we take them. This is my first time to blog...hopefully this will work and our family and friends will be able to see what's going on in the Pinegar's lives. We're all growing up so fast!
