To the Q's, but especially Tyler:

At the risk of getting overly political, a friend of mine sent me this article and I thought it was especially good. It speaks of the difficulties facing youth in California in light of all the Proposition 8 backlash. There have been so many articles published about how the protesters are on a noble mission for equality that no one has thought to mention the violence and intollerance towards everyone -and how hard that is for smart people like Tyler :) So this one is for you, buddy. I'm proud of you, and your family for supporting the church:

Heroes and Victims in Prop. 8 Struggle

Gary misses Ryan - they have a new love - rock climbing.

But Gary still has Tyler - and he has the same new love too!

Gary & Cheryl's Halloween Party

Gary is Ace Ventura (sort of) and Cheryl is my "pet". Well, my pet transporter.

Q's are moving on to something else now . .

After being immersed in Proposition 8 stuff for the past 3 months, Prop 8 passed and now were catching up on everything that was put on hold.

Thank you for all your prayers.

Gary, Cheryl, Tyler

Halloween!!!

So as you can see in the picture we were the Star War family. Ezra is the little Yoda, Matt was Obi Wan Kenobi, and I of course was Princess Leia. We had a blast we got to share the fun night with Grandma Cheryl and Uncle Tyler. Ezra had so much fun and got plenty of candy, all he wanted to do was eat it. Ezra had is first Halloween party this year and he was a star. All the kids knew who he was and kept yelling his name. We had such a fun Halloween this year and now we are getting ready for Christmas. The most wonderful timeof the year!!!

Not a damsel in distress. . .

Hello Family! Here's my update. Per everyone else's tradition, this is my Halloween costume. It doesn't have a name but you can call it whatever you like, so long as "Juliet" isn't a part of it. I went to the ward Halloween party at a barn and had a blast (and got asked out by a guy who passed all of my first date tests, which is exciting since the last guy who asked me out failed with flying colors.) The first picture is me waiting around for someone to ride in the carriage with me, and the second one is me being "protected" by my roommate Whitney.

Brianne (pictured as Venus, Goddess of Beauty on Halloween!!) is getting ready for GRAD SCHOOL!!! aHHH!

i figured out I can actually graduate after spring term here at BYU and am getting ready to take the GRE November 26th (any advise??) and getting applications ready for SDSU, USD, Alliant (in San Diego), BYU, ASU and maybe Utah State!!!

Degree sought post bachelors in psychology? Masters in marriage and family therapy (or counseling psychology) then on to a profession as a Marriage and Family Therapist!

Hello, Family!!!!

This is Alli, and I just wanted to show you my Halloween costume. You probebly have seen it before in the "Barfing" picture- but my mom took these before that. Molly- if you are reading/looking at this- do you see what is on my wrist? It is my lucky braclet- the one you gave to me. I have been waring it ever since I got it. I love you all!!!!!

Sounds like the dinner at Matt and Brindy's was a success with all of you putting your brilliant heads together to come up with this great idea of having a family blog. I can't wait to read/ see pictures from ALL of you!

I really wanted to share Mark's Halloween masterpiece with you all- the throw-up pumpkin- and now I have the perfect place to do it! Notice Schatzie behind the front door? She has on a witch's costume. Happy Halloween all!!

Oh, and I will give $5 to the first person to find a better family picture for the blog heading.

*insert a crow call here*

Calling all Dayley family members!!

Here be the rules:
1. Keep it simple. This isn't a place for long windedness - just a quick update on how your family is doing/school projects/Eliotisms/pictures/etc.
2. Post often :)
3. If you have a picture you want to put in the header, email it to me and I'll get it fixed. Unless you want to figure out how to change the settings on your own, in which case, feel free. Might be kind of fun to see a new design every time you look up the website!
