I am so proud of Cory for accomplishing his goal of finishing a marathon. I also think he is crazy that he is going to do it again. Why not just stick with 13.1? It's not so hard on your body.

This past weekend the trek took place. It was such an awesome experience. I am so amazed by the strength of the Hurricane 8th ward youth. I want to thank all of the leaders & Ma's & Pa's that helped make the trek possible. We couldn't have done it without you. Also, I want to thank Cory for all the time he put into coordinating everything & doing all the speaking (public speaking is not one of my strong attributes).

It was so hard to watch those girls push & pull the handcarts up the steep rocky hill. The boys were not able to touch the handcarts & we were all put on a "silence". The boys figured out that they could help by picking up the rocks & throwing them to the sides so it was easier to move the handcarts. I related this experience to my own kids. As parents we can't go fight our children's battles, but there will be angels to help them along the way. And the sense of accomplishment that you have when you have overcome a trial is amazing! You girls ROCK!</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-43406664964419786172009-07-02T06:44:00.003-06:002009-07-02T06:50:59.324-06:00Why Mel Is AwesomeSince Mel is a Blacker (blogging + slacker, ©2009, Cory Reese), I thought I'd make a post about how awesome she is.<br /><div></div><br /><div>Of the many reasons she is awesome, one particular reason is that she is running the BRYCE CANYON <strong>HALF MARATHON</strong> in two weeks! </div><br /><div></div><div>I'm impressed with the time and effort that she has dedicated.

For those of you who don't know, Rupert is named after Rupert on Letterman (Rupert G's Deli), & Dwight is named after Dwight K Shrute from The Office. Dwighty boy was so excited after his hair cut he ran upstairs & jumped in the bath with Jackson & Kylee. This was awkward in two ways. First Dwight has never jumped in the bath before, & second, Jackson doesn't take baths with the girls anymore(or at least we thought).Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-24533427066093470152009-02-14T16:56:00.005-07:002009-02-14T17:29:20.037-07:00Fiesta Fun Center<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Lir-hVULq_LhB6_4WbcVA9_SXNMFSIq-yP-2QfiNmOKeFIJUvvhMktmhzt2Kxh62H6WUlWA2jJAPMpo3LTmu4GIA2olQv8W9xKV9Wr3pyheMt8lMTdBI-NBF2C-KG2IuoiqVlpZ1/s1600-h/P1020676.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4Lir-hVULq_LhB6_4WbcVA9_SXNMFSIq-yP-2QfiNmOKeFIJUvvhMktmhzt2Kxh62H6WUlWA2jJAPMpo3LTmu4GIA2olQv8W9xKV9Wr3pyheMt8lMTdBI-NBF2C-KG2IuoiqVlpZ1/s320/P1020676.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302814648912484306" /></a><br /><br />Mel & Cory having a grand time at Fiesta!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy_jw0lh9aUHcGc1nqWlKzr_Orojy4iET1z2nDxzVy9QOf0NlN-9s5vlf830kZx3emi1sizzfhb_0lfWZfPhky6pz097J75pWsdeu-jIg6pBqYXdbFi71qyfgwqa4GCn42cWUAaSYe/s1600-h/P1020675.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy_jw0lh9aUHcGc1nqWlKzr_Orojy4iET1z2nDxzVy9QOf0NlN-9s5vlf830kZx3emi1sizzfhb_0lfWZfPhky6pz097J75pWsdeu-jIg6pBqYXdbFi71qyfgwqa4GCn42cWUAaSYe/s320/P1020675.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302813444242290834" /></a><br /><br />Mom, kicking Jackson's trash at air hockey<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoqoTustWM-GLmzB_IKH0OPkrGX9On0sdqmAliSc0TGEJJ7DUR2ybPG-lO13St1jujnyvs2gC88JN96JCosTKk6YMnJqIPJfAV0rX3wj2pTlWzRV5SS0sh8vuknS6bKTiu7xwOv6GL/s1600-h/P1020660.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoqoTustWM-GLmzB_IKH0OPkrGX9On0sdqmAliSc0TGEJJ7DUR2ybPG-lO13St1jujnyvs2gC88JN96JCosTKk6YMnJqIPJfAV0rX3wj2pTlWzRV5SS0sh8vuknS6bKTiu7xwOv6GL/s320/P1020660.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302809567752776962" /></a><br /><br />Cory striking a pose at mini golf<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4GvMcXq9zx2kU0BM2bb-tLQglTwFON6UGlg5dXawjnTh0Dsnvv32x0a70oV74D2wjQ_ima-sv9N1kUFGGQw49jYC7Sj-KZpU1Lnui-HLizGXRfkYOqYxnkDwc5WMHqShKX8V52pMV/s1600-h/P1020658.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4GvMcXq9zx2kU0BM2bb-tLQglTwFON6UGlg5dXawjnTh0Dsnvv32x0a70oV74D2wjQ_ima-sv9N1kUFGGQw49jYC7Sj-KZpU1Lnui-HLizGXRfkYOqYxnkDwc5WMHqShKX8V52pMV/s320/P1020658.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302808170580553778" /></a><br />Dani & Ky playing in the soft play areaReese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-16187719937551941902009-02-14T16:50:00.002-07:002009-02-14T16:56:41.085-07:00Happy Valentine's Day!This morning Dad & the kids had made a scavenger hunt for me for Valentine's Day.

If anyone is interested, he is available.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1aDD7ec0ZttlbuP97QihK1oMUuAaF6vCK8uOZVNCsDvEGBNvlNSdPBFD1AEHii0WAHJ1AJpqYc-CD6TAw-3ATxHjkbvdfEjc4clyIXjG0LNQUP5zhIOoRDSC0NxOY11H8AmLAtJkt/s1600-h/IMG_4467.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1aDD7ec0ZttlbuP97QihK1oMUuAaF6vCK8uOZVNCsDvEGBNvlNSdPBFD1AEHii0WAHJ1AJpqYc-CD6TAw-3ATxHjkbvdfEjc4clyIXjG0LNQUP5zhIOoRDSC0NxOY11H8AmLAtJkt/s320/IMG_4467.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297232176552378210" /></a><br />Cory & Jackson<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkS3GotjIzOs4NfDeLXy1rtOG6tWB3jNP_bVtmpQFaf-p0Yv87xhMfqi6duhhayGTxsgDmPH11gsNf-IneiReVg8yvypHOPbpVTA5MstOtqL6RldPqzNG6dVMNlepqhqk7j-6L3kIi/s1600-h/IMG_4304.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkS3GotjIzOs4NfDeLXy1rtOG6tWB3jNP_bVtmpQFaf-p0Yv87xhMfqi6duhhayGTxsgDmPH11gsNf-IneiReVg8yvypHOPbpVTA5MstOtqL6RldPqzNG6dVMNlepqhqk7j-6L3kIi/s320/IMG_4304.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297228125090666242" /></a><br /><br />Another Great Photo!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVZhdi_tuJLRmI5PjFoDTJJthheDNKdOJggjQwgEh5JQUbYoZ2xeOj16zBY9G2KhPvIJQszvphUHhKqsmD89SWoElmQQErvUCbggbOy3nMWyZLhGlUPjsQWHxhpgss3mG2MdxNHXgA/s1600-h/IMG_4540.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVZhdi_tuJLRmI5PjFoDTJJthheDNKdOJggjQwgEh5JQUbYoZ2xeOj16zBY9G2KhPvIJQszvphUHhKqsmD89SWoElmQQErvUCbggbOy3nMWyZLhGlUPjsQWHxhpgss3mG2MdxNHXgA/s320/IMG_4540.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297226216783594162" /></a><br /><br />Jackson & Uncle Matt playing in the pool.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjE_lYPIrm3CnBDDvtEdliRG0XV6yze8LNWo7v3eJIJtlLRJrTo_Dlp70vMk4l6ET1qJ1SERaCjIBqYxCGPWHTEbxNKBS-a-cKsGx6HZid8zSgoLmbqHrsV-BxridgnxEFgXY0drBV/s1600-h/IMG_4455.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjE_lYPIrm3CnBDDvtEdliRG0XV6yze8LNWo7v3eJIJtlLRJrTo_Dlp70vMk4l6ET1qJ1SERaCjIBqYxCGPWHTEbxNKBS-a-cKsGx6HZid8zSgoLmbqHrsV-BxridgnxEFgXY0drBV/s320/IMG_4455.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297224264374976098" /></a><br /><br />Renee said this took the boys about 10 takes to get this picture right.

My goal this year is to post a little more often than I did last year. I've been thinking of what other things I do with my time than post on my blog. Here are a few of my answers:<br /><br />1. Take care of my children's many needs/wants, which may include but not limited to, <br /> *Hunger-This is an all day battle. I kid you not, 20 minutes after eating breakfast the baby birds are saying "I'm hungry". "Can I have some chocolate milk?" "I want some lenomade". Do children have endless intestines? A couple days ago Dani had 2 Eggo waffles at 7:30AM and two hours later ate 2 more waffles. Should I be concerned?<br /><br /> *Playtime-This includes playing with Pet Shop Pets, babies, putting pony tails in the dolls hair, battleship battles with Jackson, playing Cranium's Hullabaloo (Great game if you don't have it), Game Cube tournaments (Jackson likes to watch Cory & I play. Actually he likes to see Dad cream Mom & then giggle about it), going to the park or on a hike, and lots of walks.<br /><br /> *Homework-This includes making sure Jackson & Dani read their take home library book each night, which is never a problem because they love to read. Reminding Jackson to do his daily homework, and actually getting it back in his backback. Kylee actually brings homework home from preschool. The homework has been really good for her & she loves doing it.<br /><br /> *Hygiene-Of course as parents we are responsible for our children's cleanliness. I just wish it wasn't such a huge ordeal. The girls can't get in the bath without making the bathroom look like it was hit by a tidal wave. Jackson is great at obeying my wish when I ask him to get in the shower, but washing with soap, forget about it. The other night his Aunt Rach asked if he washed his hair. He said, "No, but I rinsed it out really good".<br /><br />2. Mounds & I mean mounds of laundry. I absolutely HATE laundry. If I had it my way I would just buy new. No, I wouldn't because I am fruggle or what my family likes to call me, cheap.<br /><br />3. Cooking/Cleaning. I think that's all I need to say about that.<br /><br />4. Volunteering at the school. Cory & I try for one of us to volunteer at the school once a week in either Dani or Jackson's class. It is very rewarding to see the results in the kids after spending so little time with them.<br /><br />5. Selling Scentsy- Busy season is over. I do have a lot of fun selling this product. I love it!<br /><br />6. Keeping up with Activity Days-Okay so I will admit, I have been a slacker. I am so busy during the day it is hard to find time for our twice monthly activities. Another goal is to be a better leader for my girls.<br /><br />7. Work-I still work one night a week at Dixie Regional, which really takes out 2 days. The night I work I try to lay down for a nap about 1:00PM and if I'm lucky sleep till 3:00PM. Then I am off to work at 5:00PM. I get home from work about 7:30AM and go to sleep. I wake up between noon & 2PM. I love working at the hospital. The team I work with is awesome!<br /><br />8. Family-We do a lot of activities with our families. A lot of times we just hang out or have dinner together. We like to go on hikes, drives, movie night outside on the projector, playing pranks on one another. Here's a few ideas: Place a person in a huge box & then set in on the doorstep, then when the door gets answered you jump out and scare them to death. Drive to Kolob and fill your truck with snow, go to your sister's house and make cubes of snow to block your front door. Yes, this one happened to us. Buy your mom chicks for Easter. Rach & Cody did this to see what Mom's reaction would be. We have plotted to buy her a baby goat, or pig. None of us have had the guts to do it yet. If you are curious as to what happened to the chicks, my mom raised them for a couple years until a rabid dog got them.<br /><br /><br />Okay, so the list could go on & on. Needless to say the last thing on my mind is keeping my blog updated, yet I still love to do it. There is some sort of emotional release by writing your feelings down. Already, I know I will have a better day.<br /><br />Okay, so I can't find the picture of when Cory & I got snowed in, but my sister just did some scrapbook pages of when they snowed in my Aunt Kaye, so I will post that.Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-77891031920019340902008-11-15T08:47:00.016-07:002009-01-13T14:34:31.955-07:00Double Hostess Rewards in January<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqcLPQbHCxCX39i3Yw1ISlgPpn8lsd_qb_Cq3oBz5cMkaMIjbRZzmnbxPb4MgQhTliGM5bGpTazFB2gTd605lpKveVu9pHMalxwiraf-pMo43ECUD6aTQCriIYqu4AeJ2xtcyU2RV2/s1600-h/scentsy+pic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqcLPQbHCxCX39i3Yw1ISlgPpn8lsd_qb_Cq3oBz5cMkaMIjbRZzmnbxPb4MgQhTliGM5bGpTazFB2gTd605lpKveVu9pHMalxwiraf-pMo43ECUD6aTQCriIYqu4AeJ2xtcyU2RV2/s320/scentsy+pic.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268913417799341346" /></a><br /><strong></strong><br />Hello all you Scentsy fans.

It is the coolest concept ever. I bought all of this for $40.32 by using thier free computer program & using coupons. This trip included: 13 boxes of cereal, 5 bottles of Dial liquid soap, 10 jars of Skippy peanut butter, 10 packages of tic tacs, 10 deodorant, 6 Lipton rice sides,8 bottles of Dove shampoo, & 5 bottles of Lotion. What a steal!!! If you want to check it out, you can log on to www.grocerysmarts.com and enter the passport g84cdp. Also if you want more info or want to do a class, call Denise Parker at 435-705-8501. If you don't live in my area she can find someone to help you.Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-23691403075386438482008-11-11T08:28:00.001-07:002008-11-11T08:28:25.103-07:00<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4e544d354d7a51334f413d3d0d0a&campaign=blog_playback_link&blogview=true" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play Mexico 2" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4e544d354d7a51334f413d3d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own scrapbook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/scrapbooks" target="_blank">Make a Smilebox scrapbook</a></td></tr></table>Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-63428137206333394062008-11-11T08:16:00.000-07:002008-11-11T08:17:57.914-07:00<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4e544d354d7a49354e413d3d0d0a&campaign=blog_playback_link&blogview=true" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play Mexico" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4e544d354d7a49354e413d3d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own photobook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/photobooks" target="_blank">Make a Smilebox photobook</a></td></tr></table>Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-60083859202967843282008-07-25T12:04:00.000-06:002008-07-25T12:05:04.781-06:00<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4e4445794e7a63304d513d3d0d0a&campaign=blog_playback_link&blogview=true" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="303" alt="Click to play Birthday Bliss" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4e4445794e7a63304d513d3d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="386" height="46" alt="Create your own scrapbook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmileboxSmall.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/scrapbooks" target="_blank">Make a Smilebox scrapbook</a></td></tr></table>Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-10257933199630702332008-07-25T10:43:00.002-06:002008-07-25T10:48:40.738-06:00Going Digital!!!So I have recently dicovered digital scrapbooking. I am completely in love with it! I have already started selling my scrapbook supplies. Digital is so easy and actually cheaper than buying all of the paper, embellishments, stamps, & accessories. You can actually have the pages printed into a hardbound book or just print them and put them in a 12x12 album. There are so many options. I love it!!!Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-77936807074416835622008-07-24T19:40:00.000-06:002008-07-24T19:41:38.474-06:00Birthday Bash 2008<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tr><td><a href="http://smilebox.com/play/4e4445794d4463304e513d3d0d0a&campaign=blog_playback_link&blogview=true" target="_blank"><img width="420" height="330" alt="Click to play Birthday Bash 2008" src="http://smilebox.com/snap/4e4445794d4463304e513d3d0d0a.jpg" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/?partner=smilebox&campaign=blog_snapshot" target="_blank"><img width="420" height="46" alt="Create your own scrapbook - Powered by Smilebox" src="http://www.smilebox.com/globalImages/blogInstructions/blogLogoSmilebox.gif" style="border: medium none ;"/></a></td></tr><tr><td align="center"><a href="http://www.smilebox.com/scrapbooks" target="_blank">Make a Smilebox scrapbook</a></td></tr></table>Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-61218958429914859572008-06-10T10:02:00.002-06:002008-06-10T10:11:31.567-06:00Emma's Favorite Aunt!<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCd8TfVdYulEY4xoJ8FH0TLywNsNFWXns66UM175R44VXNg7s4KFk_t2poKkSqW-NV9sIFWy8DW0bY8tuZViNo7NdEgN-iPZWTBfTB3l6FP5dPnNdIKTiErxS0pUPfGfGLT4ibPTfY/s1600-h/bryce,Emma,+104.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210285952804272578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCd8TfVdYulEY4xoJ8FH0TLywNsNFWXns66UM175R44VXNg7s4KFk_t2poKkSqW-NV9sIFWy8DW0bY8tuZViNo7NdEgN-iPZWTBfTB3l6FP5dPnNdIKTiErxS0pUPfGfGLT4ibPTfY/s320/bryce,Emma,+104.jpg" border="0" /></a> Me & Emma<br /><div align="center"></div></div>Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457282086595507987.post-3420665900426012372008-06-10T09:31:00.001-06:002008-06-10T10:01:52.611-06:00<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnFbkzKZ-sh3p0S2OJINrKYcEE8JPN3WQMBQKWxcSyRdr8ssFMzq1uJrQyGKeKapbwc9enSEfUfZUrrxmJIviDMIzenY6piI0n34tmk1yxFRLI9SlbnYsxkdaFePst1xpdQkNYkp5/s1600-h/bryce,Emma,+099.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5210277687755330274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnFbkzKZ-sh3p0S2OJINrKYcEE8JPN3WQMBQKWxcSyRdr8ssFMzq1uJrQyGKeKapbwc9enSEfUfZUrrxmJIviDMIzenY6piI0n34tmk1yxFRLI9SlbnYsxkdaFePst1xpdQkNYkp5/s320/bryce,Emma,+099.jpg" border="0" /></a> Mom, Renee, Rach & Mel<br /><br /></div>Reese Ganghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14631552340991681531noreply@blogger.com1
