Hi everyone! Sorry that I (Jared) took so long getting these pictures on here. Hope you enjoy them. Valencia's healthy, happy, and overwhelmingly cute. 

Just so you all know, I just added a substantial amount of photos from the family reunion to the family photobucket.com account I set. I have about half of the photos I took on there with another half to go. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming amount of photos I just realized I took, I'm not going to be able to edit them like I did with the first ones. Not to worry though, Photobucket has some editing tools right there on the website and you can adjust them yourself in any way you like. If there happens to be any photos you want me to edit, just let me know and I can do a special order just for you. My e-mail is jared.s.davies@live.com.

The login for the photobucket.com account is the same as the login for this blog except that the username doesn't have the "@gmail.com" at the end. I have all the photos arranged in the order that I took them. Photobucket has a nice little slideshow option you can click on so that you can easily view the photos in the album. 

Anyway, if you have any questions or comments just let me or Jenica know. We love you all and miss you! We're looking forward to the next time we see each of you!

We miss everyone!

Anyone want to come visit for a mini vacation. :(

Oh, by the way, we better see pictures of little Miss Valencia on her no later than Sunday!!!

Hi Everyone

I just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone and let you know we are doing good. The girls started school today and had lots of fun.

We Move into our apartment next week. These pictures are a panoramic view from our hotel room. The first one with all the tall buildings in it has our apatment building in the center. It looks like a cluster of tall buildings, which it is. We will be on the 28th floor, and will have a pretty good view. The last one has a spire in the background. That spire is called Seoul Tower. We haven't been there yet, but we will. And I will get some good pictures to show you.

Thanks For the Pictures

Thanks so much Jared, for all the fun pictures you took at the reunion. I am sad that we weren't there to enjoy the times with everyone. Thank you so much for capturing the fun that you all had so those of us that weren't able to be there could share through pictures. It looks as if you all had a blast. I can't wait to see all of you again. Jenica, hope you are feeling well and it looks like you're getting ready to have that sweet baby girl. Kristina, even though you're my sista, and I haven't seen you in a long time, I love ya and hope you are doing great! Sandy and Tara, thanks for puting all this together. You two did a great job and everyone seemed to have fun. David and Kika, we miss you. Brian and Carissa, we wish you were closer to us so we could get to know you and your sweet boys better. Trina? Trina? Where are you Trina? Just kidding. I hope you had fun at girls camp. I hope everyone is doing well and recovering after those long nights at the cabin...I heard! Love ya all!

Hi everyone! This is Jared. Just so everyone knows, I'm still going through the lengthy process of editing all the photos from the reunion. Of course, I can't dedicate 100% of my time doing this, but I am trying to pump out a few finished photos each time I get the chance. I'll send them to you however you want (cd, e-mail, etc.) but for right now I'm putting them in a PhotoBucket account. Just got to:

www.photobucket.com

Username: QuintonFam

Password: Same password as this website

On the left hand side there's a tab for "My Albums" and you'll see one that you can click on called 'FamilyReunion08'. This is where the photos are going to and you can save them to your computer from there. They are all 1203x800 which is just about the size of your screen (depending on your screen size of course), but after saving them to your computer, you can size them down on your own to whatever you'd like. If you want them in a larger format, I originally shot them in 3008x2000 (in layman's terms, that's really big).

I'll continue going through the rest of them and put a few more of the best ones on this website, but every single picture I took will be on PhotoBucket.

If you have any questions or anything else I can do for you, just let me know.

What a fun time!

Hi Everyone,
We had such a great time seeing everyone and playing games. It was a great turnout and hope the next one in 2 years will be just as fantastic. I'm glad everyone made it home safely and hope you all will keep in touch the next couple of years.

Love and Hugs,
Sandy and Randy

Thank you Sandy & Randy!!!

I don't have time to post pictures right now, but I wanted to make sure that Sandy & Randy know how grateful we are. The reunion was a ton of fun and they put a lot of hard work into it. Thank you for all of the wonderful meals, sleeping arrangements, and the fun activities. You ROCK!!!!

Family Reunion 2008

Hi Family,

I certainly hope everyone will try to make it to the reunion this July. We will have plenty of room and will have lots of fun catching up and getting close as a family. The area is beautiful and there is great things to do at the location Tara has picked for us to all enjoy. In my family, Trina, Chris and Corban will not be attending, much to our sadness, but I will have lots of pictures to share with you of all 3. Brian and family, Jenica and Jared and the new little one (not born yet) will all be with us, along with Randy's two children, Aidan and Aurora (and her new little boy (born this coming June) will also join us for the trip.

Noni and Papa will be bringing Grandma Mackay, 97 this year! If she can make it, all of you can certainly try!!!

If anyone has any questions or concerns, PLEASE call me!! My cell phone is 801-699-3080. Or email me at sandy@hopescookies.com.

I certainly hope everyone will be there to hug!!!

Love and Hugs,

Sandy

Tara

*WE ARE FAMILY*

LOVE THE MUSIC!!!! TARA....YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!! I CERTAINLY HOPE EVERYONE IS GOING TO THIS GREAT BLOG. PASS THE WORD ALONG ON HOW GREAT IT IS!!!!

LOVE AND HUGS TO "ALL MY FAMILY"

SANDY

Hi All,
Great hearing from you Jenica, sounds like you and Jared are very happy! It doesn't seem like a year is almost here that you were married. Time sure flies when you are having fun and are happy!

Randy has a new job working as a food broker for a company out of Seattle. He has the Spokane/Coeur d'Alene office here at our home. So we share an office! What fun! He love's it and has more time to spend at home (actually fishing and camping) than he did before. For me, it's strange having to share my office space and my cd tunes I "used" to have blaring while I work at my desk. Oh well.... such is married life!!!

We are all doing great, Aurora has accepted a job in Scottsdale Arizona and will be moving there in October. Aidan has made the Jr Varsity Soccer team and is loving it. We have been enjoying the games, much more lively and fun than his baseball ones! In the past 2 games, he has scored 1 goal in each. Very exciting!

I certainly hope to see you all at the next reunion next summer, Tara and I are meeting next weekend to put together the finals on where and when etc. Look for our next posting to get the details. Noni and Papa are expecting each and everyone to attend. So start saving now!!!

Love and Hugs,
Sandy and Randy

The Davies

Hi Everyone! I will get some pictures on here of Jared and I as soon as I remember and am at home! We are doing great! I don't know what people are talking about when they say that the first year of marriage is the hardest...it has been the best time of my life! Jared is working at Lexington Law Firm as a "paralegal"; at least that is his title, all he does is answer questions. He will be starting school in the Spring and his major will most likely be accounting, but that still remains to be seen. I work as a Member Service Rep at a Credit Union. I just started this position after 2 years of hoping for the promotion. I LOVE it!! We are living in an apt and most likely will be until the market decideds to drop, by about 2 million dollars. Didn't realize how quickly the cost of things made such a big difference once you are married! So, no kids until Jared finishes school and we gat into a comfortable place.

Our days are filled with watching our TV shows, hanging out with friends from our singles ward, and now getting together with Brian and Carissa to talk smack about our Fantasy Football League! Yes, of coarse Brian is winning and I am losing.

Anyway, I hope you are all doing wonderful! I miss you tons and I hope we can see ALL of you at the next reunion!!

Love and Hugs, Jenica and Jared Davies

I Just Don't Get It

I am hoping that maybe, just maybe, the reason we aren't posting is because we just don't understand how and don't have the time to figure it out. I've seen that there are a lot of hits to the website, but no new info to share. Here is my suggested solution. If you have something you would like to share, but don't want to figure out how to do it, just email it to me. You can send any info to quintonfam@gmail.com or to fruitcakecity@gmail.com and I will post it as soon as I possibly can. I would be happy to do it for anyone if it means getting some more news on the blog. Hopefully this helps some of you to start posting. Hope to hear from all of you soon.

Logan's Birthday

Logan turned 3 on the 26th. He's so big now. He said he wants to have "another happy birthday party tomorrow" pretty much every day.
