Dad's 78th Birthday Party, May 24th 2009

We had fun celebrating Dad's birthday. We all met at the St. George Main Street Park for a little KFC and birthday cake.



This is a family shot of all of us who could come. We missed everyone that didn't make it but understand how busy life can be. Top row left to right, Chris, Robert, (me)Lorrie, Kiva and Mandy. Second row, Steve, Debbie, Dad, Trinity, Ruth (Dad's Wife) and David. Bottom row is Jeanne (Steve's wife) holding Cooper, Casson and last but not least little Paxton!



This is all of us kids with Daddy! Top left clockwise Steve, me, Dad and Debbie!



It was so neat our sister Debbie could make it. It was her surprise gift to dad. This is a silly picture of us in the fountain:) Love you Sissy!



Here dad is holding his great grand daughter Trinity Chris's daughter! She is such a cute little girl and was the life of the party



She gave Paxton some finer points on running through the splash pad!

Auntie Lorrie too!

This is my hansom nephew Casson.

and this is my other hansom nephew Chris! We sandwiched him good!

This is my sister in law Jeanne holding Cooper.

We'll always have a little teasing when ever the three of us are together! I love you Booby and Tay Tay:)

Mothers Day!! A call from my boy!!!

What a wonderful day it was! I was so excited to spend time with my kids.



I missed my oldest Tara but I know she would have rather been here with her mom than at work any day! This is a picture her sweet husband sent to me.



Her and Drew where resting before she had to go to work one evening. What a wonderful mom she is. I'm so proud of her and her hard work that she does for her 4 boys!



Clock wise Alex their cute daddy, Drew, Riley and Kade. PS in the background is little Paxton!



I just answered Derek's phone call from Toronto Canada:P Yes I cried when I heard his voice:0 It's mothers day and I can cry if I want to!



Kiva on speaker phone with her brother and Paxton getting rid of the sock he didn't like. She is such a cute mother to her boy and we are so excited that she will be having our 6th grandson in September! Her husband Lucas, my other wonderful son, was spending time with his family in Tropic. We missed sharing this time with him but are glad he was with his loved ones.



This is Mandy and her newborn son Cooper Roy who is 2 months old. He will be one and a half when uncle Derek gets home and gets to meet Cooper for the first time. It has been so fun having Robert and her living here in our home with David and I. I have really enjoyed watching these young ones begin to raise a young one of their own! I love every moment I get to rock Cooper and discuse the days events! My sweet grandson Riley is also in this picture! He will be 8 when his uncle gets home.



Maybe Derek will have another baptism!



And this is Mandy's Husband and my other wonderful son Robert and his little man Cooper Roy



Even Drew was excited to get a hold of the phone! He will be 2 when uncle Deek comes home!

We were all so excited to get a call from Derek! He is aloud a call at mothers day and one at Christmas so we truly cherished every second he was on the line! He sounded very happy and healthy although grandma asked if he was getting enough to eat and it sounds like he may be loosing a little weight, but I'm pretty sure it's only because he is so busy:P He is loving the work and has had challenges but seems to press forward keeping his head high!

He bore his testimony to us along with Tara on a conference call.

It was truly a most touching moment in my life

to have all my family gathered around me along with my mother.

It is one that I pray I never forget.

I love all of my children and ask God to please bless

each one with love and peace through out their lives!

Thank you kids for such a wonderful day,

Love mom

Mo Mo is Baptised May 3rd 2009

May 3rd was a wonderful day for Elder Brazeau. It was his first baptism that he helped convert. Her name is Mo Mo and she is from Beijing. He is so excited to have the opportunity to do this work for Heavenly Father! He has another young man named Paul that is interested in the gospel but has had some problems with his mother's acceptance. He has decided to go through with it and trust in the Lord. We hope and pray that his mother will soften her heart towards the Gospel of Jesus Christ and except her son as a member.

I am grateful for the example that Derek sets for me in the sacrifice he has made to serve the Lord. It is humbling to know that he is Heavenly Fathers messenger. I know the Lord loves and watches over him and blesses us all for the service he gives.
