The Picture Game

I was on Naomi Masina's blog and saw this game. It looked like tons o' fun so I decided to give it a go too! I also have seen soooo many of "yous" playing the "What's a Memory you have of Me Game", that I had to "Stop the Madness" right here, right now..bwhahahaha! Anyhoo, this is how the game works...For each question, look up the answer in a Google Image search. Then choose your favorite image from the FIRST page of results only. You get some fun and often CRYPTIC answers (and I mean Cryptic...so cryptic I'll leave commentary on some of them, if only to attempt to get a laugh out of my small following). If you need clarification on any of them leave a comment, also let me know if you do it so we can all see yours!!

Here's mine:

The Burt-Miller Family Legacy

I thought about having the title for this be 4th of July Weekend, but really the 4th has come and gone and I have mixed feelings about the Holiday anyway, so instead I've entitled it The Burt-Miller Family Legacy.

Every 4th of July my husband's mom's Mom's family (are ya confused?) has a family reunion at the Family Ranch up somewhere in the "beauteous" Uinta Mountains. We've gone a few times before, but this year was special as it was the first time in 10 years that all of Aaron's siblings and Mom were there (unfortanately I didn't get a picture of all of us together). We had a great time!! The kids had fun walking through a little stream that runs through a portion of the land, and they enjoyed camping with the cousins. On Saturday, they had a little program that was themed around the family Legacy of missionaries and Missionary Work...they even mentioned that there were 4 other missionaries in the family of the Protestant faith. I thought that was pretty cool. The family is of Scottish descent so they also had a friend of the family come in and play "the Pipes" while they carried the American flag in. It was awesome and very touching. They had flags from different States and Countries flying. Each flag represented an area in which someone in the family had served. The reason we only have a picture of the plaque posted at the Japan flag is because 4 out of the 5 who served there are from Aaron's immediate family (yes, I'm included in that...so is my husband, his older brother, and his sister's husband....WooooHoooo!).

I am thankful that I can be a part of this family's great Legacy of faith and missionary work. I hope that my children will never forget who they are and the great people they come from.

In closing I just wanted to mention something that really has nothing, and yet something to do with with this post ~ My most favorite shot in the entire slideshow of pics is the one where Aaron is smiling and showing some teeth (as he is walking back after receiving his Missionary Certificate)!! If any of you know my hunny bunny, the man rarely smiles, let alone show his teeth. I'm so glad that we have this shot for future generations to enjoy....hehehehehehe~!! (The slideshow pics may be a little off because of the size I've chosen, so to see the pics individually just click on the actual slideshow. It'll take you to the actual Picasa Album.)
