Baby Blessing

Spencer and Heather blessed their baby, Benjamin Hunter Rosenbaum, Saturday January 10, 2009. Spencer flew in from New York so they could bless Hunter at the church building in Gilbert. A special applause goes to Heather who juiced oranges for two hours. The food and the event turned out wonderful.


Glen Var announced that Hunter is the oldest son, of Spencer. Spencer is the oldest son of Glen's boys and Grandpa Rosenbaum is the oldest son of his family. So Hunter is the 4th generation of oldest sons.

Heather and Spencer

This is Addison; Spencer and Heather's oldest daughter. I felt lucky she didn't cry when I took this picture because, I was told, she cried for every other photo that was taken the day before at Heather's sister's wedding.

This is David; Nathan and Rainy's son.

Holiday Fun

Merry Christmas everyone. For those of you in Utah, here are some ideas to help you know what to do in the snow.

Red Light Green Light

Barry, Colette and their daughter Diana came from Utah to visit family in Arizona. During their visit, all of the Arizona gang got together and had dinner at Cafe Rio. We met at Uncle Glen's house so he could show the improvements made to the house and then we caravaned over to the restaurant. It seemed that Barry always got caught on the red light. He had three choices: to get left behind, to get in an accident or to run the red light. Well after running the third red light in a row the police finally caught up to him.

Barry was lucky because the police officer let him off for being from Utah and for being the last one in the caravan line.

While the Ewell family was in Arizona, Barry taught four genealogy classes at a convention. Barry and Colette are getting ready to launch http://www.mygenshare.com/. Check it out. It should be up and running in a couple of months.

Here are some photos from Saturday night. Hope you enjoy.
