Jonathan and Mindy Judd Family

Mindy just got home and helped me get this pic. Finally... this is our most recent family picture taken just last month. Jonathan and Mindy, Devon 7, Dillon 5, Aliceson 3, and little Nathan 14months. I love my family the most!!!

Red heads

What a handsome group. Here's a couple more of my favorites. Aren't they just the cutest!!! Wish we could have made it.

Hi everyone

Hi its me...your most favorite little sister/aunt/whatever my relationship is to you it doesnt matter cuz I am your favorite anyway........I am just bored. Okay I really should be finishing the job that Danny gave me to do before he went out of town but I needed a break. I am just writing to let you all know how thankful I am to be part of such a GREAT family. We have had 2 lessons in Young Womens in the past month about our heritage. I am so thankful for the truely wonderful strong heritage we have. We come from such an amazing family. We have some serious bragging rights. I am especially thankful for such a wonderful Father. Alma Judd is such a good example of selflessness. I hope you all realize this. It is so great to also see how his children (me too) have tried to follw this and hopefully teach it to our children One of the quotes we had in Beehives was " What kind of ancestor will you be?" That really struck me hard. Am I doing all that is necessary for my kids to look at me the same way I look at my parents and grandparents. Okay enough preaching...just wanted to get your mind thinking about someting other than the superbowl for a while. We love you TONZ!!!!!!!!!!! -----Alisa, Danny,Roxie,& Lolo

More sad news

Dear Family, Sunday evening J.L. called to let us know that President Hinkley had passed away. For further information, check the Church web site: lds.org. I, personally am saddened to hear this news. Gordon B. Hinkley was the MAN. Heavenly Father's MAN who was chosen to be a prophet. I will miss him, but I'm also looking forward to sustaining our new prophet. All my love to all of you! Remember who you are and what you represent. Sara Ann

Sad News

Dear Family, Alisa found out today that Uncle Dick, Aunt Faye's husband, had died. His funeral will be this Saturday in Manti at 11:00 A.M. I called Crystal to give her my condolences and she asked that if anyone wants to come to the funeral, please call her at 1-435-835-7989 so that she can help you make arrangements. If you would like any further information, you can call me. 480-255-4032 cell or 480-969-7115 home. I love you all! Take care. Love, Sara Ann

Presidential campaign

You can tell a lot about people by their friends. McCain has been on the wrong side of several key issues. Also when he is on the wrong side he seems to be with the wrong people. I respect him for his service in the military, but his teaming up with some very nutty democrats such as Finegold, and good ole Ted Kennedy makes me wonder. Like I said the company that we keep can tell a lot. The only way I would vote for Mccain is if it is between mccain vs. Clinton or Obama. I like Duncan Hunters views but he isn't a front runner. Fred Thompson seems to passive. Ron Paul and all his supporters are kinda little to far out in left field. Rudy did a great job in NY during 911 but he is kinda liberal on several key issues. Mitt i think has a little bit of baggage from being the governor of Massachusetts. From what I have heard there are a few things he had to let happen because of the voice of the people(Mass a democrat state). But out of the front runners he would be the one I would pick. Oh I almost forgot about Huckabee...I really hate when people try to play dumb about questions. Are Jesus and Satan brothers? Being a Baptist minister who had been a keynote speaker when the Baptists came to Utah to save the Mormons...I think he was fully aware of the churches beliefs. It is just stirring up controversy without being the bad guy. If you want to talk crap just be a man and do it. As for the democrat candidates.....I keep hearing the word change being tossed around...but do any of them have any legitimate ideas, they talk about the change but we have to have a plan before we can just start changing things. But hey this is just me. Danny...........Alisa says "GO MITT GO!!!!"

Lyndi Mae

This is Lyndi joining in on the "First Dance", she loves to dance and sing and be the center of attention... don't know where she gets it from... certainly not her mother right?

Reception

This is my dear Husband Jake and I at the reception. You'll notice the lovely braces compliments of my boss. His teeth are looking great and of course I am the most excited about it. I think he's the only one in Law school with braces but you can't pass them up when you need them and they're free right. The reception was beautiful and everything turned out great. When you walked in the doors you could smell all the fresh pine (decorative spruce trees were throughout the place) and her colors (cranberry, black and pearl) were gorgeous, and the refreshments (donuts, chocolates, and hot cocoa) were all delicous. We are all so Happy for Tyler and Kiley!!!

Tyler's Wedding

This is the "Red Head Picture", they like to do this one at special events and I thought the Judds would appreciate it. I think its discrimination cause even though I just put red in my hair they wouldn't let me in. : ( But its a cute pic nontheless. This was outside the temple while we were waiting for the photographer to tell us where to go.

Why I love Tami

Dear Family, Rebecca asked me to send Tami a blog for her birthday, and yes, I know that is was December 30th, but I've been ill and haven't had the time until today. So here goes!

Tami and I have been best friends all our lives. She has always set a good example for me to follow. She chose a worthy man to help her to continue to grow. Her children are all wonderful examples for my kids. She is the most thoughtful person I know. She is always kind and loving. When I grow up, I want to be just like Tami. I love you Tam! Never forget that!

Next subject. Politics. I feel that Mitt Romney is our best choice for 2008. Everything I've heard about him has been positive and he seems like a kind and intelligent man. What do the rest of you think? Please post your imput. I will try to have someone help me post the pictures that I took at Tyler's wedding. It was sooooo coooold in Kayesville. I know Alisa nearly froze her booty off up there. I saw her shivering. All my love to all of you, Sara Ann

Politics

Well I'm no expert on the presedential canidates either but I have only heard negative things about Mcain in conversation and I have yet to hear anything negative about Romney so... I'm leaning towards Romney so far. I think that this publicity is good for the church in that it is sparking interest and hopefully spreading more truth but I just hope he stays true to his beliefs if he makes it to the presidency. An LDS president not making the right choices is far worse than someone who is from another religion. Well I'm not sure if that helps at all John but those are my little thoughts on the subject. Oh and on an update for enveryone down there, Jake finally got his grades back from last semester of Law school, and he made it into the top 20 so we are happy. He's applying for some summer internships right now and depending on how well he does with those will dictate how much longer I have to work so pray for us! We love all of you guys!!

Presidential Debate

Hey just wanted to get some family feedback on pres. nominees. Everyone, what do you think about Mcain vs Romney? I'm not a fan of Mcain due to his stand on immigration. Besides, I really cant think of anything outstanding he's done for AZ. as senator for so many years. What are your thoughts??? Anyone??? Ive never been much of a political nut but this race has sparked some interest.

Happy belated birthday Tami. We Love you... Thanks for the Christmas package, pillow cases must have been the gift of the year we also got new ones from Grandma Connelly. The kids love them. Wish we could have been there for Tylers wedding. Congratulations Tyler. I cant believe your old enough to do that. LOL Wow, time flies. Speaking of time flying, whats up with Ryan???
Sorry we missed the blessing Justen. Mindy had to work and I had my hands full. What a cute little girly! I'll have to get Mindys help to post our newest family pic.
Happy belated birthday to you too Dad. We love you too...Love you all, Jonathan
P.S. Movie of the week "Stardust" with Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes and Robert De Niro. Check it out if you haven't, must see for everyone. Not one the kids would like much but a great movie.

Colette's Baby Blessing

We blessed Colette this last Sunday, January 6th, 2008. It was a nice blessing. Colette seemed like she knew it was her special day since she was pretty happy and talkative all day. We are all doing great!...and yes, Joyce made her blessing dress.

It was good to hear that Tyler and Kiley's wedding was good. Sorry we missed it.

Alisa Ray & Family

We were so glad to have Sara and Alisa up for Tyler's wedding. They are always such a huge help and having family around is a blessing for us northerners. Here is a beautiful photo that Alisa brought of her family. If anyone else has christmas photos or recent family portraits, feel free to upload them.
