Congratulations Adam!

Wow - I am not good at this blogging thing. I really thought it would be a great way to keep family and friends updated but if you don't update. . . . . . . .

We just celebrated Adams graduation day on Friday. He graduated from the University of Utah in Business Administration. 

Congratulations Adam - We are so proud of you.

OH HAPPY DAY!

Proud parents and wife.

We celebrated with some dinner and fun with the family. We are so blessed to have the Ingersoll family as part of our family. We have shared so much together and have become such good friends. We are excited to share many more happy events in the days to come!

I'm Thankful For. . . . . . . .

Family !

A day filled with those you love, good food, lots of laughs, inspiring movie and games with the Willmores!

One tradition we enjoy is the annual Turkey Bowl Game.

Here are some picture from Turkey Bowls past and present.

2009

2009 proved to be another successful Turkey Bowl. Each year we watch the boys get bigger, stronger and faster and each year we watch the "older boys" run a little slower and fall a lot harder. We usually compair injuries at the end, pulled hamstrings, jamed fingers and wonded egos but everyone goes home a winner, glad we can come together with our friends and enjoy another crisp fall morning on the field.

For those of you who slept in and did not join me for the Turkey Day 5K, you really missed out. We had quite the crowd. Alissa and I were the only ones that braved the cold. We ran/walked along the river, it was absolutely beautiful. We hope to recruit more of you next year.

Happy Thanksgiving

Love

The now famous LOVE sculpture was first placed in the plaza, down town Philadelphia in 1976 as part of the United States' Bicentennial.  The United States Bicentennial was celebrated July 4, 1976, the 200th anniversary of the adoption of the United States Declaration of Independence. The sculpture was removed in 1978, but the sculpture was missed by the people so much that the chairman of Philadelphia Art Commission, F. Eugene Dixon, Jr., bought the sculpture and permanently placed it back the plaza, in 1978. This totally represents the "70's" for all of us from that generation. I "LOVED" it. - Peace - LOVE and Bobby Sherman!!

                                                                                                                                                                              

What way do I go?

For those of you that know me, you know that my sense of direction is not one of my strong points. I still get lost in Salt Lake or even going down to American Fork. Now Brian on the other hand just has a keen since of direction and memory. If he has driven by someplace 20 years ago he can recall when and where and drive me right to it.

So I have been out exploring the streets of Philadelphia with my map in hand, destinations marked and places to go. A map is not very helpful if you are looking at it upside down! One thing I have really appreciated about living in Utah is the beautiful Mountains along the Wasatch front. They are always there, so majestic and always to the EAST. What a nice reference point that I have not always appreciated.

I was talking to a woman while eating a cup of soup (trying to figure what direction to turn my map) and she informed me that if you look up at William Penn on top of the City Building – He is always facing NORTHEAST. Ahhhh!! He is looking out to the Delaware river. Thank you William.

Tip for the Day:  If you are ever lost in Philly – William is always looking Northeast.

The William Penn Statue, sitting on top of Philadelphia's City Hall. The statue is 37 feet tall, and is the tallest statue on top of a building in the world.
