Scott and Brian's Moving Day!
If you have been following Scott's blog you will all know that they have bought a new home. Today was moving day. The kids all played on the lawn while we packed up, cleaned, and moved. I was thinking how I enjoyed the work because everyone that could be there were there to help. It made things go faster and smoother then if the boys tried to do it alone. Just another reason why I love this family sooooo much. Thanks to the Jeff Garner family, the Steve Garner family, Stephanie, and Denise. Many hands makes light work. I don't know if that is a saying but if it isn't it should be.

John Marshall Cray January 8, 1928 - August 17, 2009
I wanted to post some pictures taken during Dad's funeral. I know my mother is already missing him but we are all happy that he isn't hurting so much all the time now. It was hard walking into his house that first time and not see him sitting in his green recliner.
Dad was as tough as they come. There were times I didn't like him very much but there were also times when he was the best friend in the world. He said what he meant and he meant what he said. He was able to quit drinking and smoking and even became worthy to go to the temple in the last 10 years. I loved him for his tenasity, his stick to it attitude, and his love of family. He did love his family.
I owe so much to his example of hard work and his attitude that you can do anything you set your mind to do if you want it bad enough. He valued education but was living proof that you shouldn't make excuses if you've had a hard life. I know he passed on a lot of his charactoristics to his children. I have never known anyone that could build or fix anything like he could.
All of Mom's brothers and sisters came from far away to be there. All of his children were there and so were a lot of his neices and nephews. I felt so loved among all the family that came. It was truely amazing.
John, Danial, and Uncle Bob
I had to throw a picture of Roger in there.
Mom and Stephanie. Mom looked pretty in her blue dress.
All of us kids and Mom.

It was such a fun weekend. It always is. The best part of the entire weekend is seeing the Rickey Garner family and doing fun things together. Some things will change but the GFL will always be the first weekend in August and there will probably always be a draft. I don't know how it evolved into what we do now but I like it. After the draft was over we came back to our house and I made everyone take pictures. The sun wasn't quite right but I asked Stephanie to take them anyway because it will probably be another year before I can get pictures of everyone again!
Jennilyn posed for us! She is due in about three months. They will have three little girls.
Stephaie always has a niece or a nephew on her lap. Sometime both (Lucas and Addie)
I hate taking pictures and will talk Stephanie in taking some different ones of Dad and I.
David
Denise . . . and why is she in the tree?
Addie, Mary Grant, Emma, Joelle, and Lucas is in the back.
Katherine and Steve's family looks happy!
Jennilyn and Jeff's family
Ty . . . isn't he getting to be a big boy?!
Diana, Craig, and cute Cooper!
I had to throw in pictures of Ty and Cooper because they are the babies. They are both in Utah and I don't get to see them as much as I would like!

I have gotten interrupted a couple of times while trying to get the GFL blogged. Maybe I can finish tonight!
After swimming we all headed over to the conference room of Pioneer Title. Steph's boss has let us hold our "meetings" there for the past two years. Scott conducted the awards ceremonies and then the draft. While they were doing that the kids and some of us Moms played with crafts. We thought that was a lot more fun then trying to decide who was on who's fantasy team for this season.
