My Beautiful Girls....

My Dear Mother

She was AMAZING, TALENTED, BEAUTIFUL, ENERGETIC, ARTISTIC, MUSICAL, STEADFAST AND IMMOVABLE...ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN GOOD WORKS....

Many people were asking about the Rainy Day song we sang for my Mother's funeral. I wrote this song for my little Brother Brooks' funeral. He passed away when I was 10. My Mother added a third verse and by Brother Charlie made the most amazing arrangement of the song and they recorded it and gave it to me for my birthday last July.

"UP" Mann Family Reunion 2010 Part II-Up to the Riverbend...

We went UP to the Riverbend and continued our reunion. We flew kites, blew bubbles, and our spirits were lifted when we placed our testimonies in helium balloons and released them all at once. Hopefully they were carried and edified those who found the messages. We were all Uplifted as we shared this great adventure...(to be viewed with the song, A Married Life from the UP soundtrack. You may need to set the player on repeat to get through all the pics in this slide. :) )

Katie and Cole's Wedding-Night Under the Stars!!

We had the added bonus of adding Cole Babbit to our family the day after Thanksgiving! He is amazing and makes Katie so happy! They met at Chick Filet and were honored with the Chick Filet cows at their reception, also guest appearences by Michael Scott, Dwight Shrewt, George Michael and Elton John. It was a star studded night...(view with the Prayer and Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me tracks.)

Thanksgiving 2010...Count Your Many Blessings...

Mann Family "UP" Reunion 2010 Part I

My parents are amazing! They put together an unforgetable family reunion the week of Thanks Giving that we kicked off with a hay ride where we jumped "UP" on the wagons enjoying a beautiful sunset. Each family brought an ancestor along for the ride. We shared their stories around the camp fire and even had a re-enactment of one of our favorite ancestors, Jesse James, holding up a wagon train. Luckily, all he stole this time was a kiss. Bailey and Wills honored Grandma and Grandpa Mann!
Here are some pictures...just a few. We took more that will be included in a Christmas DVD uploaded to the Mann Family website so watch for that!
