I thought I would just drop by and say Hi. Matt and I are doing great. Matt graduated in december from the U in Business Finance and will be starting his new job in February. I am in my last semester, and we both have been called to be advisors for the youth- deacons and beehives. They are a great bunch of kids!<br /><br />We still love our ward and neighborhood! I hope things are going well with all of you. We miss you lots!<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Matt & Laura EdwardsUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541045260806242366.post-72392783324237146392009-06-16T12:20:00.000-07:002009-06-16T13:13:31.924-07:00Look, look, I am posting! What the..?! You're KIDDING ME! Just wanted to update you on summer 2009:<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">MJ</span> is taking a Humanities class at Dixie - he's transferring up to the U in the winter (go Utes!). He is <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">acing</span> the class because it calls for lots and lots of opinion papers. This is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">MJ's</span> forte. He is also in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">DSC</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">summer stock</span> theatre. As always, he will be funny! I can predict it right now.<br /><br />Together, we are learning how to best care for our giant lawns (Matt, sorry we didn't help more in all the past years - this is a heck of a job!). We purchased new, extra long hoses and hard-core industrial strength sprinklers. So far, success. We have planted flowers (just like Matt would do!) in every flower bed. We even planted three trees. Our goal is to make our yard a homage to Matt and try to make it look almost as great as he always did. Big shoes to fill!<br /><br />We're helping Dad (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Gramps</span>) spiff up his house. He's finally replacing carpet he got in the 60's! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">MJ</span> and I painted his front room and dining room, guest room/den, and we'll be finishing the master bedroom this week. Next job will be painting the bathrooms and kitchen. Taylor will be putting new tile in his small bathroom and in the entryway. The house will be beautiful and updated when we're done. Way to go G-pa!<br /><br />It was great for us to be together on Memorial Day. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">MJ</span> has photos posted on his blog. Check them out. I missed Matt so incredibly much. He was usually the leader of the clean-up crew up at the cemetery. The day seemed empty without him. I'm glad I had family to share it with.<br /><br />Each new season brings heartaches, as I miss Matt so very much. It is strange to experience the changes of nature without him by my side. The point now is to rally the wagons and forge ahead. The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">cavalry</span> ain't coming! I'm learning to survive it all and keep moving forward, after all, I'm not the inventor of heartache and pain! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">AHHHHHH</span>!<br /><br />I love having the kids come for visits. They are my joy! You guys are awesome! And Addi and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Payson</span> are a hoot! I have so many funny stories to share about them. I will share next time I'm with you. Ask me specifically about the frogs!<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">MJ</span> and I have plans this summer to build a fence, put up three gates, reorganize the wash house and the art studio, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">re-purpose</span> the downstairs bedroom and paint the living room. We will also fit in some fun.

This is Laura posting... <div><div><div><br /><div>My mother has the sweetest friends in the world. Her dearest friends, Tonya, Diane, Jana, and Alicia, made 2 quilts for my mom. Not just any quilts- but quilts from my dad's clothes! Now my mom can still snuggle with him! </div><div></div><div><br />The first quilt is made of my dad's jeans, and the other is made of the shirts he wore all the time. I was able to participate in the tying of the jeans quilt! While I was there they showed my mom and I the shirt quilt, and I nearly cried! I am so happy that her friends are so loving and supportive to put in time, money, travelling, talent etc.. in to such a wonderful project that mom can cherish forever!

This is the official site for Mace Jacobson and Dana Pratt. Once we learn how to manage a blog you'll be hearing more from us. Everyone keep your fingers (and toes) crossed - this might take awhile!Macehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02851658917168594515noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541045260806242366.post-11787475174934237102008-12-04T11:57:00.000-08:002008-12-04T11:58:31.111-08:00Mace's commentsI want to thank everyone for making sure the reunion was a huge success. I laughed, smiled, cried and felt such a great emotional connection to my beloved family. Whether near or far we are all connected by our deep care for each other and by way of Dana and Angie Pratt. How blessed are we?! How very blessed.<br /><br />I missed Matt so much; the whole time. It felt good to have your arms around me and to feel of your support. I'm just glad everyone knew or knew of Matt. He was a people person and was quick to make a friend. People felt comfortable around him and knew he was one to be trusted with a sincere friendship. <br /><br />I want to get together more than every twenty years. Let's make it so.<br /><br />Keeping up through the Pratt blog, or family blogs, will certainly be a great way to keep involved in everyone's lives.<br /><br />A big happy birthday to Dana R. Pratt on December 6th. He'll only be 89. What a youngster he is.<br /><br />Can I say - I LOVE YOU!<br /><br />MaceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541045260806242366.post-33540575492565578772008-12-03T18:59:00.000-08:002008-12-03T19:01:06.928-08:00the Reunion rocked!I LOVED seeing everyone at the reunion!

I don't know.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyFMfr7sB-NzfKEe07JjgenpXAYd6Dm7LB7nX-nhCSLn1o1vn3HYJKtPjhQP9q0ReIsulAkIrvt0O2r7bfJ19qVnS4IHIUt7eHz86YBFXczPX45XtzZK8_3QHoWg3HiRVdkRGzD3uI4gJ0/s1600-h/mi+madre.jpg"><img style="display:block;

He is doing so well! He has built up skills that are unimaginable.... ok, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration :) But he really has progressed so much. He can do many things 'on his own' (with some supervision). Luckily Matt & I are living closer to him, so we get to see him often. We also drive him to Pine Valley often to visit, and if we can't bring him then dad & MJ go pick him up. Whew- What a drive to SLC and back!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibJYXRFCnyD1Zg89HwO-ZfaCu9UpHJkGvFEqup9F5Txd__DLRxx4e4sn8h6cA3dMLi8ZVW6kZT7P-VrfGH5xZh4616lR0-pm1gb1_8tSbCYJhsMitFswmvvbMWOmotkLqtkOiwoN0idv0R/s1600-h/me+%26+colin"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibJYXRFCnyD1Zg89HwO-ZfaCu9UpHJkGvFEqup9F5Txd__DLRxx4e4sn8h6cA3dMLi8ZVW6kZT7P-VrfGH5xZh4616lR0-pm1gb1_8tSbCYJhsMitFswmvvbMWOmotkLqtkOiwoN0idv0R/s200/me+%26+colin" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233667015657823026" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Mom & Dad have 2 dogs in their household right now.

I love Pine Valley, and it'll be fantastic to spend a few days there with my wonderful family. Excitement!</div><br /><div></div><div>Matt, Zack, Dylan and I are living in Clovis, California, where we have been since Matt and I married 3 years ago. You should hear mine and Matt's little story sometime - it's really lovely and all mushy and fairy tale-y :o)</div><div></div><br /><div>Matt is a high school <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">spanish</span> teacher and announcer extraordinaire for all sporting events. He is serving in our ward as a counselor in the Elders Quorum Presidency. He's a great dad and husband and I love him dearly. He's also REALLY good at Guitar Hero. </div><div></div><br /><div>I am wearing several hats - I work part time for California State University in the Summer Arts <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">divison</span>, I teach private voice lessons, and I teach a choir class one day a week at a charter high school. Somewhere in there I seem to find time to be the ward Primary president...with 140 active kids in primary! Good times. Oh, and Matt and I are finalizing paperwork to adopt a baby. Yes, we are a little nuts, but we wouldn't have it any other way.</div><br /><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoQf_NsFuApEqpsM0eeVh8KScQTfAw-j7GFLHMbLCmD8SaVg74h8-UMr11vL1tAoxLa6zUgJYh8RB6wX1oKXdUAqTA40Xf93Vg0VyWNNBMvearKWoZFMxYd_g0xva1OfqyNyGWQLx9Gl0/s1600-h/Zack_brick_08_sepia.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220787603220836962" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoQf_NsFuApEqpsM0eeVh8KScQTfAw-j7GFLHMbLCmD8SaVg74h8-UMr11vL1tAoxLa6zUgJYh8RB6wX1oKXdUAqTA40Xf93Vg0VyWNNBMvearKWoZFMxYd_g0xva1OfqyNyGWQLx9Gl0/s320/Zack_brick_08_sepia.jpg" border="0" /></a>Zachary is 10 years old. He has a killer sense of humor and is a real smarty. He'll be in a 5<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span>-6<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">th</span> grade combo class next year and we are excited for him to have that challenge. He loves to play soccer and video games, and is an expert on all things Pokemon. </div></div><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdWx5iAD8M0738q6ZQ92IZskVEZKAORUdtLakG3cbZyvwMikjEZjwu-26mllA2WEStN9Pb0HB5q0gSe1nq8BGmcgAWytiVf-S5O_unovLJtBYQqrFoK8tZZ-UAZSDuSuV2nEzNclmQwY/s1600-h/Dylan+08+grass+fav.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220787601544118354" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdWx5iAD8M0738q6ZQ92IZskVEZKAORUdtLakG3cbZyvwMikjEZjwu-26mllA2WEStN9Pb0HB5q0gSe1nq8BGmcgAWytiVf-S5O_unovLJtBYQqrFoK8tZZ-UAZSDuSuV2nEzNclmQwY/s320/Dylan+08+grass+fav.jpg" border="0" /></a>Dylan is almost 7 years old, and is a real lover of a kid. He cannot resist a good arm-tickle...he simply melts in your arms and his eyes get all droopy and tired. I love it, and I hope he never grows out of it. He loves to play all sports (especially basketball) and has a real competitive side to him - he likes to WIN! He would swim all day long if we let him.</p><p>Looking forward to seeing you all and staying up LATE catching up on all your lives! Much love to all! </p>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08360770351353618873noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541045260806242366.post-5189598586230994772008-07-08T07:44:00.001-07:002008-12-09T21:02:39.135-08:00Matt & Laura Edwards updateHola!
