Don't Forget to Tune In!

It's almost time for the Air Date of the Feud!!! This coming Monday the 22nd-so exciting!! :)

If you are in CA-the show is on at 6pm on KCAL 9. It should be channel 9 but, in the desert where my parents are it KCAL is 16 so, you might want to check your guide.

And if you're in UT-it is actually on at 10am on KUCW. If you have Comcast, it is channel 15 or 656 in HD. The listing says its Judge Maria Lopez but it is really Family Feud. There's another one on right after it, but the one at 10 is the new episode. I'm not sure what channel it is for other cable providers, but it definitely is the CW network.

Now remember, Monday is the first day we are on, and then we'll be on every day that week as well! But, Monday is a really good one to watch (hint hint)-so try not to miss it!!!

We Know a Gold Medalist!! How COOL is that?!

Our friend, Rich Lambourne, who is actually our sister-in-law Gwen's brother, was on the Olympic Men's Volleyball team. He played for BYU back in the day, and since played all over Europe, playing in Poland this past year. He's like s SuperStar over there-kids come up to him for his autograph! Just before the Olympics, the U.S. team beat Brazil for the World Cup-pretty cool! Rich plays a position called Libero, who is the player with the different color jersey. He was named Best Libero in the World for the past two years! VERY COOL!! Anyway, now he has an Olympic Gold Medal-that is the COOLEST of all!!!

I don't know if you heard the tragic story of the Olympic Coach whose In-laws were attacked and brutally stabbed multiple times by some CRAZY Chinese man? This was Rich's Coach! And this happened right after the Opening Ceremonies, while they were sight-seeing-and his wife witnessed the whole thing!! The dad died and the mom was in critical condition. She is now doing better, but, what a horrific thing to happen during such a thrilling time & event. So sad.

Well, the guys had been practicing for 4 years-they came to win the Gold, and that's exactly what they did! It was AMAZING!! And so emotional for everyone!!! Matt's bro, Jed, & his wife, Gwen, went to Beijing with some of her family to support Rich. They had the most incredible time! They had an Open House for Rich last week, so we went to see him & his Gold medal! It was sooo AWESOME! It has white Jade on the back-so pretty! And that sucker's heavy! Since being home, he has been on Oprah and the Bonnie Hunt show. There are lots of other perks that come along with winning Gold as well-of course!!

It's pretty amazing to be able to see a Gold Medal in person, and even more amazing to actually know an Olympic Gold Medalist! Seriously, how COOL is that?!!! Congrats Rich, you deserve it!

Our Family is Growing!

Man, how do you turn a picture??!! This picture
is soooo cute, but even better when you don't have to tilt your head to look at it! Geese!!

Well, I have been meaning to update, but, you know how that goes! During August we FINALLY made a trip up to Utah for our newest nephew, Connor's, Blessing Day! We are so excited about this sweet little boy to join our family! Brittany & Jonathan are such good parents-as I always knew they would be! We had an amazing time, but of course, our time there was just not nearly enough! :(

Here is a pic of the happy fam!

We definitely made the most of our short time-here are some of the other things we did in UT...

We went to our friends', Debbie & Steve's house to visit, and our other friends Rachel, Mike & "Mikey Michael" came over! Matt's sis, Liz, came by with our nephew, Roman (curly blond), and we had our niece, Jenna, with us. The kids had a BLAST in their "PlayLand" basement, poor Deb, she definitely had a MAJOR project cleaning that whole area-sorry Girl! Matt & I really enjoyed hanging with our Buds-we miss them! :(

We had a BBQ at our Aunt Cyndy and cousin Nikki's after the Blessing on Sunday. Anso and I jumped on the tramp with ALL the kids-my bro Dylan, Jenna, and my cousin's kids Wyatt & Shayley. We had so much fun-Anso LOVED the tramp! :) After dinner, we visited our grandparents' and Uncle Verdon's grave. Then we went back to the house to roast marshmellows for s'mores over their fire pit-umm yummy s'mores!!!

Anso got to spend some much needed "quality time" getting to know her cute uncles, Craig & Breeze, a little better. And, of course, getting cuddled by her Auntie Liz-whom we owe all her ADORABLE style to (Liz has already completely spoiled her in her 8 months of life!)

Yes, it was a good trip indeed! Pretty much EVERY trip to Utah is!! We just can't wait to get back there to visit our beloved Family & Friends whom we miss dearly!!!

Here's one more shot of the McMullin clan, w/ spouses & kids (minus Shane, who really wished he could have been there-stupid work)- just to show that our Family is growing and we are LOVING IT! :) xoxoxo
