ZACH'S MISSION CALL IS TO LONDRINA BRAZIL

ZACH LEAVES FOR HIS MISSION ON OCTOBER 19TH. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY HIS FAMILY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM FOR MAKING THIS DECISION.

NOW HAVE A MARRIED SON, WOW LIFE SURE CAN CHANGE QUICK

WELL THINGS HAVE CHANGED, JOSH HAS GONE THROUGH A BIG CHANGE IN HIS LIFE, FROM GETTING ACTIVE IN THE CHURCH AGAIN AND MEETING SWEET JESSICA AND NOW GETTING MARRIED! THIS PICTURE IS ONE OF THEIR ENGAGEMENT PICS.

THESE ARE SOME OF THEIR BRIDALS PICTURES THAT WERE TAKEN AROUND APRIL 5TH. THEY WERE MARRIED ON APRIL 15TH AND IT WAS AMAZING. THEY GOT MARRIED IN THE BOUNTIFUL TEMPLE, WITH LOWELL LEISHMAN PERFORMING THE SEALING IN THE TEMPLE, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND WONDERFUL. I WORKED SO HARD ON MAKING IT A WONDERFUL DAY AND STRESSING OVER IT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOT THINKING IT WAS GOING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE MORE THAN I HAD EXPECTED.

MANY ATTENDED THE WEDDING AT THE TEMPLE. DEAN AND SUSIE BECKER, JOHN AND WENDY WHEELER, KAYLYNN AND STEVE WHEELER, MICHAEL AND NICOLE HARHI, RAELYNN AND TOM WHEELER, AND ABOUT 25 OF JESSICA MERRELLS FAMILY.

AFTER THE TEMPLE WEDDING WE HAD A LUNCHEON. AROUND 45 OF THE BRIDES FAMILY ATTENDED AND MAYBE 10 OF OUR FAMILY ATTENDED, MY SISTER IN LAWS, WENDY WHEELER AND RAELYNN WHEELER AND MY WONDERFUL FRIEND CINDY OLIPHANT WERE AMONG THE MANY THAT HELPED PUT IT ALL TOGETHER. IT TURNED OUT WONDERFUL AND THEN AFTER THE LUNCHEON, WE SET UP FOR THE OPEN HOUSE AND IT WAS ALSO TURNED OUT WONDERFUL. TONS OF OUR FRIENDS SHOWED UP AND AMONG THOSE GREAT FRIENDS WAS PRESIDENT EYRING, HIS WIFE, SON STUART AND WIFE, CAROL EYRING. THAT JUST TOPPED OFF AN ALREADY WONDERFUL DAY.

FRIENDS THAT ATTENDED WERE DEAN AND SUSIE BECKER, RANDY AND CLAUDINE COX, RYAN KOWOLICHIK, SEVY, STEVE HOLT AND HIS WIFE, MELANIE AND MICHELLE WICKER, ALLYN SORENSEN AND HER HUSBAND, BROTHER AND SISTER RADMALL,JIM & ROSE WHEELER AND FAMILY, GRANDMA WHEELER,MILISSA AND MARC RAMIREZ, TAYLOR AND MEGAN JONES, STEVE,KAYLYNN, MICHELLE AND TAYDEN, MICHAEL, NICOLE HARHI AND FAMILY, JOHN AND WENDY, MARK AND TRISH WHEELER AND FAMILY, ELEENA BURNS AND HER MOM AND SISTER, SAM AND JAN JACKSON, DOUG AND JULIE SMITH, ANNETTE NELSON, CATHY SMITH AND GAYLE BILLINGS, EMILY BLADES, MELISSA MILLER, MARY WHEELER AND GIRLS, 

MY FRIEND CHERYL WILLIAMS MADE A BEAUTIFUL CAKE, AND MARY ANN LEVITT HELPED HER SET IT UP, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

 AND MY FRIEND AMY JENSEN AND HER DAUGHTER CAMILLE PUT TOGETHER A BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU CANDY TABLE. I AM HOPING TO BE-ABLE TO ADD PICTURES SOON.

THEN WE HEADED TO VERNAL FOR THE RECEPTION ON SATURDAY, MY FAMILY WAS EXHAUSTED FROM FRIDAYS ACTIVITIES, BUT WE MADE IT TO VERNAL A LITTLE LATE BECAUSE OUR TRUCK WAS HAVING PROBLEMS BUT WE MADE IT. THE TIME AT THE RECEPTION WENT QUICK AND WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK HOME. IT WAS SUCH A SWEET BITTER FEELING. I CAN'T BELIEVE MY LITTLE BOY JOSH IS ALL GROWN UP AND MARRIED. I WAS JUST GETTING MY JARED OFF ON A MISSION AND NOW HELPING ZACH PREPARE FOR HIS MISSION SOON. HAD NO IDEA I WOULD BE MARRYING A SON OFF SO SOON. PAUL AND I ARE SO PROUD OF JOSH AND THE DECISIONS HE HAS MADE IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. FROM RECEIVING HIS OWN ENDOWMENTS TO MARRYING THE GIRL OF HIS DREAMS. 

JOSH IS NOW ON A NEW JOURNEY OF HIS LIFE AND IS NOW THE HEAD OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.

WE ALL ENJOYED THE WEDDING AND ZACH, BRANDON AND GARY WERE SO GREAT TO ATTEND WITHOUT MUCH COMPLAINING, SUCH A GREAT TIME FOR OUR WHOLE FAMILY. IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH A MOTHER CAN LOVE HER KIDS AND THE LOVE JUST KEEPS GROWING.

PICTURES OF MY KIDS

 HERE ARE MY 6 HANDSOME BOYS! HAD TO INCLUDE PAUL. HE IS PART OF THE WHOLE SCHEME OF THINGS!

HAD TO INCLUDE THIS PICTURE EVEN THOUGH I LOOKED TERRIBLE THAT DAY. GOING THROUGH THE TEMPLE WITH JARED WAS SO EMOTIONAL FOR ME. I CRIED LOTS OF TEARS OF HAPPINESS AND MY HAIR GOT MESSED UP AND MY MAKE UP FELL OFF.
BUT THIS WAS SUCH A FUN PIC OF THE BOYS.

ME AND MY SWEET, BEAUTIFUL GIRLS!

 THE GIRLS  AND THEIR DAD!! HOW PRECIOUS IS THIS!

 JOSHUA PETERSON WHEELER: JOSH IS SUCH A GREAT KID. HE IS 23 YEARS OLD. HE LOVES TO SNOWBOARD, SNOWMOBILE, RIDE MOTORCYCLES, HANGOUT WITH FRIENDS AND HIS MOST FAVORITE IS TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME WITH JESSICA. LIVES IN VERNAL UTAH. HE IS DATING A SWEET GIRL NAMED JESSICA. JOSH IS SUCH AN OUT GOING, KIND YOUNG MAN. HE HAS SO MANY TALENTS. ONE BEING WHEN HE SETS OUT TO DO SOMETHING HE MAKES IT WORK AND HE HAS A GOOD TIME DOING IT. HE WORKS IN VERNAL IN THE OIL FIELDS. HE GOT IS CDL WITH FLYING COLORS. THIS IS A HARD JOB AND MANY HOURS OF WORK. BUT HE GOES OUT WITH A SMILE EVEN IF HE WORKS FOR 80 HOURS A WEEK, WHICH HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN. HE IS TRYING TO BUY A HOUSE IN VERNAL RIGHT NOW.

JARED PAUL WHEELER: JARED IS ALMOST 22 ON THE 26TH OF JANUARY! JARED IS ON A MISSION IN ENGLAND! HE HAS BEEN ON HIS MISSION ALMOST A YEAR! JARED LOVES HIS MISSION! JARED IS ALSO A MAN OF MANY TALENTS. HE LOVES MOTORCYCLES AND BEFORE HE WENT ON HIS MISSION HE LEARNED TO SNOWBOARD AND HAD A GREAT TIME GOING WITH HIS BROTHER JOSH A FEW TIMES. JARED FIXED UP HIS TOYOTA TRUCK AND SOLD IT BEFORE HE LEFT FOR HIS MISSION. AND CAN FIX MOST ANYTHING HE PUTS HIS MIND TO.

ZACHARY LAMAR WHEELER: WHAT DO I SAY ABOUT ZACH, HE IS MY HERO AND SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLE TO OUR FAMILY. HE IS VERY KIND TO HIS SISTERS AND EVEN LETS THEM HAVE SLEEP OVERS WITH HIM AND HIS FRIENDS. HE LOVES TO BOWL, AND HE IS A GOOD COOK, AND CAN MAKE BEAUTIFUL CERAMIC VASES.HE IS ALSO A GREAT DRAWER, WHICH I THINK HE PICKED UP FROM MY DAD) HE IS SO GOOD TO HIS MOTHER AND KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO MAKE HER HAPPY WHEN SHE IS NOT FEELING GOOD. ZACH IS GETTING READY FOR A MISSION, WHICH HE WILL PROBABLY BE GOING AROUND JULY!

BRANDON JOSEPH WHEELER: BRANDON IS SUCH A GREAT KID. BRANDON IS 17 AND A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL. HE LOVES TO SNOWBOARD, RIDE MOTORCYCLES, SNOWMOBILING AND HE LOVES FIXING STUFF! HE TRIES NOT TO SHOW HIS EMOTIONS, BUT HE IS A SWEET KID. BRANDON CAN DO ANYTHING, AND I REALLY MEAN ANYTHING. HE CAN FIX ANY ELECTRONIC ITEM IF IT CAN BE FIXED, HE CAN FIX CARS,HE TILES,( HE HAS TILED MAY OF HIS DADS APARTMENTS) HE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE MOST ANYTHING JUST BY LOOKING AT IT.

HE WORKS FOR ME IN MY SCRAP BOOKING STORE AND I AM SURE HE DOESN'T LIKE THE SCRAP BOOKING PART OF IT, BUT HE HAS LEARNED HOW TO USE MY CRICUT MACHINE TO CUT VINYL FOR MY STORE AND HIS CAR AND OTHER PEOPLE! HE FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE MY CASH REGISTER AND ANYTHING I WOULDN'T THINK OF OR THAT I MAKE COMPLICATED HE CAN MAKE IT SIMPLE. I COULD GO ON FOR HOURS TELLING YOU ALL THE TALENTS HE HAS.

GARY JORDAN WHEELER: GARY IS 15 YEARS OLD A SOPHMORE IN HIGHSCHOOL. HE IS WANTING TO DRIVE REALLY BAD! I AM NOT READY TO LET ANOTHER ONE OF MY BOYS START DRIVING, BUT I AM SURE I WON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE SOON. I GUESS I NEED TO LET THEM ALL GROW UP. AS ALL MY OTHER BOYS GARY HAS MANY TALENTS. HE LOVES BASKETBALL, RIDING BIKES, SNOWMOBILING, AND HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS. HE IS AN AMAZING ORGANIZER, HE CAN DEJUNK AND CLEAN ANYTHING TO PERFECTION. ANYTHING HE SETS HIS MIND TO CLEANING ENDS UP LOOKING AMAZING. HE IS SO OUTGOING AND FROM WHAT I CAN TELL IS KNOWN AND LIKED THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL. HE WANTS TO GO BOATING AND OUR BOAT IS BROKEN SO THE LAST YEAR HE TORE IT APART AND RE CONSTRUCTED THE ROTTING WOOD. IT WAS A HARD TASK AND I THINK HE HAS ALMOST FINISHED IT. LOTS OF HARD WORK.

MAKENZIE CLARICE WHEELER: MAKENZIE IS SUCH A SWEET, BEAUTIFUL GIRL WITH SO MANY TALENTS. SHE IS 11 YEARS OLD AND IS IN 6TH GRADE. SHE IS SUCH A GREAT ORGANIZER AND CLEANER, VERY QUICK AT IT TOO.(ESPECIALLY IN HER MOMS SCRAPBOOKING STORE) SHE LOVES PETS AND THEY USUALLY LOVE HER BACK. SHE HAS SUCH A FUN PERSONALITY. SHE IS AM AMAZING DRAWER. SHE LOVES TO DRAW, SHE LOVES TO HAVE GIRLS NIGHT SCRAPBOOKING AT HER MOMS STORE WITH HER MOM AND SISTER KAITLIN!!!! AND HER MOST PRECIOUS TALENT IS SHE IS ALWAYS TELLING HER MOTHER HOW BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT SHE IS. SHE MAKES HER MOM FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS, I JUST WISH ALL THAT SHE SAID ABOUT ME WAS TRUE. I GUESS I WILL JUST HAVE TO TRY HARDER TO LIVE UP TO WHAT SHE THINKS HER MOM IS. SHE IS SO SWEET AND KIND AND I WISH MORE OF THE KIDS INS SCHOOL REALIZED IT. THEY ARE MISSING OUT ON A GREAT FRIEND!!

 KAITLIN MARIE WHEELER: KAITLIN IS SUCH A SWEET GIRL SHE IS VERY GIVING. SHE HAS A VERY CREATIVE IMAGINATION. SHE LOVES PETSHOPS, RIDING HER BIKE, PLAYING IN THE SNOW, PLAYING WITH FRIENDS, SCRAPBOOKING WITH HER MOM AND SISTER MAKENZIE, SHE LOVES TO SING, AND SHE LOVES HER DOG MAX.

 I WANT ESPECIALLY MY KIDS TO KNOW IF THEY READ THIS, THAT I LOVE EACH ONE OF THEM MORE THAN THEY CAN EVER IMAGINE. AND I DO NOT LOVE ONE MORE THAN ANOTHER, A MOTHER HAS DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE FOR EACH CHILD BECAUSE EACH ONE IS SO PRECIOUS AND DIFFERENT! THESE ARE MY JEWELS THAT I WAS ENTRUSTED WITH ON THIS EARTH AND THEY HAVE ALL TURNED OUT TO BE AMAZING KIDS!
