Days with My Father...




Photo by Phillip Toledano from dayswithmyfather.com

At the end of my day at work today, I was stumbling through the internet and came upon this site (http://www.dayswithmyfather.com/#/0). It made me laugh and get a bit teary, it also reminded me of how important it is to move beyond the petty things that separate me from my family and the people I love.

Life is such an amazing thing and to waste it being angry, scared, selfish, prideful, or mean just doesn't make sense. This is especially true since these changeable attitudes could be separating me from some incredible experiences with the people in my life.

Thanks to Phillip Toledano for sharing this personal story about his family. I stand in awe.

One more thing---Summer wanted you to see her new haircut for school.
You'll have to forgive me because I wasn't sure how to do this and get the comments in the right order but I'll just tell you that these pictures were taken a few weeks ago at Lake Tahoe. Our Neilson family reunions always have a theme (bear with me) and this year it was "Our Family Tree". All six of the kids and their families performed skits on six different ancestors in order to help us get to know our family tree and do a little research. One morning my dad dressed up as Lehi and led us all to the tree of life by way of the iron rod (a rod constructed of pvc pipe) where we all literally walked the straight and narrow. Sorry if this is way too much information for all of you. I'll cut it short and say that Brad was a champ. Being with five sister's who all possess the gift of gab is pretty impressive. The last photo is of Brad, my dad and my brother James. My family loves him so much and if you look really hard you can see that he's smiling on the INSIDE (in the not so obvious Brad style of course). Shane-thanks for putting this together and I really look forward to catching up with the other Seggars. Love, Jeanette

Senioritas Fishing Tournament...

Hey! These are picks from a sort of recent fishing tournament. We caught a bunch of fish and basically had a great time. The tournament was a women's tournament so while the ladies were fishing, the men sailed the boat cleaned up the fish. We also sat around eating and talking. Two great days.


Uncle Shane with Capt. Dave at the wheel chatting it up with Shannon.
Dave is my sailing dad--I learned to sail on his boat, the Runaway.



Capt. Dave with his gold tooth blingin' outloud.


Capt. Dave with our Day 1 catch--one Ono and one Mahimahi.

Uncle Shane goofin' off to the camera.


Hanging tough with one of Shannon's boys. He looks cool in the shade,
but he is really trying to keep from throwing up--again.


Well, that's all for now. Now it is someone else's turn to share. Remember, it can be a small story about growing up, pictures, vide--what ever you want. If you need help, email me at bigangry1@gmail.com.
