This poor journal gets no upkeep >.

So Dave commented on my comment on Paul's Facebook and he is right that is what Uncles are for... and if you have any better luck God bless you.

All of us (yep me and John to... though I had to twist John's arm a pinch lol) are in support of Paul and his hopefully pending mission. But have since decided that it is in his hands now to choose when to get the ball rolling. To force his hand is not to get a missionary that works with the Lord to brings members into the fold.

My comment was related to how Paul felt and reacted to Jerry's comment to Paul when they came up before the family reunion. It was something along the lines of 'you better get off your ass/butt and get your papers in' (second hand heard this so if it is wrong oh well). And this lead Paul to deiced for the better park of the days leading up to the reunion to say that he was not going to go because he did not want everyone to press him more on the timing and details of his choice surrounding the mission.

This kinda stand-off-ish Paul is the reasons we have stepped back and let him have his room and told him it is now all up to him but he needs to decided if it is this fall or if it is back to school for a lil bit more and then if he wants to go (as he has said he wants to go but doesn't feel totally ready).

So yeah I can't tell yeah much more because there isn't any more to add.

He has been spending a ton of time with his friends and Rach and taking tons of pics so he can have a photo book full of pics of his friends and family and extended family to take with him when he goes.

If you would like to send a pic of yourself, your family, pics of you with Paul or such to him so he can add it to his photo book that he plans to take on his mission please send them to him at his e-mail mankatbaca@yahoo.com or paulshaggerty@gmail.com that would be a nice surprise for him and would be a super way to let him know that you support him and care and so on.

Road trip to Idaho!

Sat, 08 Mar 2008 23:24:23 GMT

So John, Paul and I took a road trip up to Idaho a few months back and I just thought that I would add it to the family journal as it has some neat photos.

Days off from school and work with a tiny bit of money = ROAD TRIP!

PLEASE CLICK THE LINK TO SEE THE PICTURES!
http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a250/kobh/?action=view¤t=d86168eb.pbw

It took 14 hours all told and we had to drive back from Southern Idaho in that bad storm that hit lower Idaho and Northern Utah. It fallowed us all the way back into and past Tremont.

Anyway our next trip is already in the work and will be longer and much more fun, not like we lacked fun as you can see in this trip but it was full of learning points and wrong turns (maps can be just as bad in making you lost as anything else lol).

Well I'll try and get someone other then me to make another post in this poor journal if I can. More pictures in the coming weeks!

Road trip to Idaho!

Tue, 18 Sep 2007 05:14:36 GMT

Tonight after I had dinner I decided I am really tired, lol, and in about four or five hours it will be time to get up again. Oh, and I also saw the season premier of Prison Break today.

Because Dave asked to see it.

Sun, 16 Sep 2007 19:14:35 GMT

Here is John's new car. He took back the Lincon a while ago because it started to have problems dieing and stalling. So he got this 2003 Buick afterwards.

This car is great in every way! *laughs* Except the color.

Another birthday makes this jurnal a year old!

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 08:56:12 GMT

So I think that the first ever post in our LiveJournal Come_clan_come was on Rachel's 13th birthday so that makes this at least one year for it as well!

So onto the birthday!

Rachel had a nice small birthday and here are some of the pics from it!

So other then that nothing new or of much interest that I can really tell you here. I'll have to get Paul and Rachel talk about their trips to the Manti pageant and the other one that they went to this week. Also now both Rachel (in 9th grade and 14 years old) and Paul (12 grade Sr. and 17 years old) are in high school at West! Wow time flies!

Here are some more pics from the past year of the family and such just to kicks and giggles.

So that wraps this post up until I can get Paul, Rachel or someone else to post and blog.

Oy I just keep not getting around to this journal...

Sat, 21 Apr 2007 14:04:20 GMT

...and no one else seems to either -_-

So a quick update (...again).
Rachel had a great play a little bit ago. You that went know what I'm talking about.
Here are a pics of her in her 'all that jazz' costume:

(I luv black and white work and I thought that it fit the outfit so...)

If I get some time and a smig of free money then I might scan if the pics Dixie took at the play. I will have to ask Rachel. And I'll try and get her to blog about the play as well.

Rachel is well into the next play that her class is working on... Rachel is less then thrilled on the particular one that they are reading in class but she and her friends keep poking fun at it and that keeps them laughing.

Paul has 'belted' in Tae Kwon Do several times and really and I mean REALLY loves it. John T. said that he will pay for Paul to take it during the summer so he seems happy about that.

John T. got his own car this last week. It is a '89 Lincoln Continental. A damn nice car that purrs like a cat. He loves it and is happy to have it. And by now most of you might know that mother has her own Silverado that is her baby... Paul wants to drive it but I just think it is to much car for him lol.

For the last two Saturdays Paul has been helping out at the church clean ups... weird but he likes it... okay whatever but it makes him happy. He is getting up and doing it again at 9am this morning.

Other things about Paul... hmmmmm...
He has started a character on "World of Warcraft" (WOW to most) on the Horde side if anyone of the cuzes wants a WOW buddy to do runs with. He is a noob still but working his way up fast. Also Paul has taken a shine to the "The Sundering" books. And is now on book two. Other then that Paul is getting to the age that his Misson is looming and yet he feels great about it and is looking forward to it. He also has taken a shine to his ASL (American Sign Language) class and love to sign to everyone.

Mother's knee is coming around from the bad sprain that it had. Not much on that but that it is not getting worse and she is getting out on it more to strengthen it.

Dad is doing well and has several prospects that are looming at the end of the month and one for sure. So things are looking up all around.

Long time no post and a new year

Wed, 03 Jan 2007 02:57:17 GMT

So yeah this experiment almost fell by the wayside this year but here we go again with an (unread by everyone but you can't blame me for not keeping you updated...) update on clan Haggerty! WOOT!

So year wrap up in the least amount of words I can get it in ...in. Think of this as an eclectic family Christmas letter of sorts.

So of the stuff that was not covered by other post in this journal we have:

Rachel:
She has another role in another play at Northwest. Yuppers she is happy as she has a great role and almost got the lead role this time (missed it by one or two). She also got her upper tooth pulled to let her adult tooth grow in... and just now she has two more holes in her mouth form loosing two teeth.

Paul:
He baptized a convert in our ward. He took this very seriously. He had his four wisdom teeth out just before Christmas. he passed the UBSCT (Utah Basic Skills and Compency Test ...that all have to pass to get their Diploma in Utah) so he doesn't have to take it his last year.

John T.:
He got a raise and is moving up in his company.

Mother:
She got off the air and is doing semi regular exercises.

Dad:
He has been offered a higher postion in our local ward and has been expanding his computer skills.

More has happen but I'll leave that for each person to fill in. So these are just bites that came to my mind.

Here is to a clean slate and a new year to fill with memories!

A little Live Journal know how...

Tue, 03 Oct 2006 08:08:41 GMT

So just to get everyone on the same page as to how to work LJ here are the basics of responding to a post.

If you know how then bare with me for this post.

Most of the time when you see a post the top of the post will look like this:

Here we see the top of the post for Paul's last post on Yu-Gi-Oh! Goat tokens. Notice the buttons at the top. The only one that really matters is the "BLUE PENCIL".

Here is the BLUE PENCIL reply button:

To leave a message about this post or to reply to it click the BLUE PENCIL reply button.

It will bring up a new screen with the post (in this case Paul's post about the goat tokens) with a REPLY BOX at the bottom.

This is the REPLY BOX that is at the bottom of the new page:

Here we can see "from", "subject" and "message".

Right now I'll talk about "subject" and "message".

SUBJECT - Is if you want to give your responce a title just like you would with an e-mail. Just like an e-mail it is not important to give your post a SUBJECT.

MESSAGE - MESSAGE is in other words your place that you would type your respone or MESSAGE to the poster (in this case or example would be Paul).

Now for the FROM. In this case if you DO NOT have a Live Journal page (or do not want to respond with your LJ user name in
come_clan_come) then "ANONYMOUS" MUST be chosen so that you can post a reply. As you can see in the picture below.

Then when all the above is done you click the POST COMMENT button that is below the REPLY BOX or MESSAGE.

----------------------

So I just thought I would put this up to help any and all people that are new to Live Journal and this layout.

Hope that it helps!

W0ot! Free goat tokens.

Sun, 01 Oct 2006 19:05:41 GMT

For those of you who know what the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG is, I got a couple of the orange scapegoat tokens at my local TRU yesterday. I also got got one of the pins and pulled a Goldd in some of my packs.

Now I am watching conferance in my home today and I have to say that it is a good experiance. So far one of the only things I have to say about school at the moment is that mid terms and parent teacher conferance have passed.

"The Yellow Boat"

Sun, 01 Oct 2006 10:01:40 GMT

So Rachel's school play is this month (I will get the exact date up here soon along with the time and cost) but it is around the 20th I think.

It is a dinner theater this year and Rachel has a bigger role. In fact she has two roles in the play! Even though it is a dinner theater it is casual dress and a light meal.

It will be at the NEW Northwest Middle School.

Located at:
1730 West 1700 North
Salt Lake City, Utah 84116

or in other words

Redwood Rd and 1700 North

Just North of our house and up Redwood road. If you take I-215 it is left at the light when you get to Redwood Rd. from the 7th North exit off of I-215.

Or type it into Map Quest for easy to fallow directions.

If you can come Rachel would love it, but if not she understands.

More info to come just keep checking back.

Mini update

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 11:28:27 GMT

So Rachel is going to be doing a dinner play in Oct. (I think) and she has a even bigger role this time around. I'll try and get Rachel to write and update soon.

Now onto Paul. He is taking a colledge credit class this year (in high school but it gives you colledge credit)! He also got ordained to a new office in curch, but I'll let him blog on that.

John got a raise at work so he is happy about that.

Well here is a pic of mother and Rachel walking to the bus stop so that Rachel can catch the school bus (it is just half a block away so no biggie).

....is it?

Tue, 15 Aug 2006 07:27:14 GMT

So on Julu 24-28 I went to Brighton camp up in the mountain at Brighton Sky resort. I had a whole bunch of fun there! I made friends, ate good food, and just had lots of plain fun! We did this thing called zipline. It's where you climb a tall tree and stand on a small perch. You get harnessed up. Then you slide on a wire 50-100 feet in the air. It was fun when you got down, but it was freaky because you stopped and hung in mid air. Then you had to undo and unhook your own harnest to get down. It was really fraky.Maybe thats because I'm afreaid of heights.

Shortly after I got home from camp I finished the 6th Harry Potter book [Insert by Jessica ---> FINALY!!].

On August 11th I turned 13 XD I got a whole bunch of neat presents and B-day cards. I also ate a lot of mint chocolate chip ice cream, which is my favorite.

School starts in a week. I'm excited aboutseeing "that little gang of mine"! I am excited about theater class and my awesome teacher. I loathe my 8th grade honors [english class] and the teacher, Mr. 'Zit-ler'.... I mean Zeither.I once heard him talk. I was board to tears. I'm going to soooooooo miserable. Anyways I have a new orchestra teacher. I liked Mr. Muinro he was soooooo cool!

Say hi to me all you people out there! A really big "Bob-ness" and Phantom and Wicked weirdness with lip gloss kisses!

School

Tue, 15 Aug 2006 04:08:14 GMT

School is coming up soon so its time I should express my thoughts. I'm glad that I have finished my science creds. and I am one step closer to graduating. It's exciting to think that I get to wear a cord or two at graduation and that I completed my UBSCT (Utah Basic Skills Competency Test), the test I had to pass in order to get my diploma.So when I go back to school I'll have more good tidbits to share.

First post and a birthday no less!

Sat, 12 Aug 2006 10:25:18 GMT

So welcome to our family Live Journal! I thought that we would try this and make messages and passing of information a bit easier and fun. So look at the post and either comment back as an 'Anonymous' (this way you don't have to join Live Journal) or join.

-----------------------
So onto the birthday girl!!!

Rachel turned 13 on the 11th (Friday)!! She enjoyed shopping today with mother. She bought two shirts from Walmart that are cute. I'll try and get pics of them up as soon as I can. One has a thing about drama on it so being our families little actress she loves it!

She says thanks to Gran and Gramps (Dixie and Jerry) for the card and money. (It came on Wednesday ^_^)

She had a great meal cooked by mother and a nice pudding cake and mint ice cream form afterwards.

Yesterday John, Paul and myself took Rachel out on the town and ended up Sugarhouse park for some pizza from "5 buck" and ice cream cake, mint and chocolate of course. There she and Paul had fun playing and throwing around ice that was left over from the cooler that had the cake in it.

She got a mini build-a-bear tabby cat to go with the one she got for Christmas. She also got a cute bunny pillow. John brought her the cat and I got her the pillow.

Other then that I'll let her add it in the next LJ post herself.

She also wants to thank Spencer for calling her and wishing her the best on her birthday. She says that she is sorry that she missed it, but she was out spending her birthday money with mom when he called.

--------------------
Now for some pictures!!!

Lets start off with the b-day girl! Here is Rachel in her camp clothing from Brightton camp. I'll have to have her post about that, beacuse she had a blast!

Here is a funny pic of Rachel and Paul sitting on the trash cans. Don't ask why because we don't know why either ^_^.

And because I know none of you see a REAl John smile I just had to post up a pic of him before work smiling for me.

And to show the softer side of Paul. Here he is with his dog. He loves her like none other.

Well there are others but lets hang there and if you want to request pics then go ahead and ask and I'll try and wrangle people into it!
