MY NEW BUDDY

THIS IS MY NEW BUDDY...

COOPER PAUL FINLAYSON.

I WENT TO HIS SHOWER AT THE SCHOOL ON

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23.

HE SEEMS TO LIKE ME...PROBABLY BECAUSE

I INTRODUCED HIS PARENTS!

PAUL FINLAYSON TAUGHT AT ALPINE WITH ME.

CORTNEY IS MY 2ND COUSIN, ONCE REMOVED.

(GOT THAT?  CORTNEY'S GRANDPA, MARRINER, AND MY DAD ARE COUSINS.  HER GREAT GRANDFATHER AND MY GRANDFATHER ARE BROTHERS.)

 

 I AM A FABULOUS MATCHMAKER!

TY IS THE BIG ELEVEN!!!

On March 25, Ty turned 11 years old.

Ty has 3 brothers and 3 sisters, with a new brother on the way.

He is the middle child.

Some of Ty's favorites are:

Colors:  green and blue

Favorite treat:  chocolate licorice

Hobby:  archery (shooting a bow and arrow)

Vacations:  Disneyland, Bear Lake, fishing at Strawberry Reservoir

Ty LOVES to spend time with his grandpa at his apple orchards!

He is a great help to him!

Ty and Miss Mitchell are 3rd cousins!

His great grandpa and Miss Mitchell's dad are cousins!

She lined his mom up with Mr. Fin...and the rest is history!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TY!!!

I DID GOOD!!!

THIS IS TY...WITH MR. FIN.

MR. FIN WAS TY'S 4TH GRADE TEACHER.

TY TRANSFERRED TO OUR SCHOOL FROM

SHELLEY ELEMENTARY

IN THE 3RD GRADE.

THE REASON TY CAME TO ALPINE, WAS THAT

HIS MOTHER MARRIED MR. FIN!

GUESS WHO SET HIS MOTHER UP WITH MR. FIN?

THAT'S RIGHT!

MISS MITCHELL!

MISS MITCHELL'S GRANDFATHER

AND TY'S GREAT-GREAT GRANDFATHER

ARE BROTHERS!

HER FATHER AND TY'S GREAT GRANDFATHER

ARE COUSINS.

TY'S MOM, CORTNEY MITCHELL CHRISTENSEN FINLAYSON,

GREW UP BY MISS MITCHELL.

SO, TY AND MISS MITCHELL ARE 3RD COUSINS!

NEVER MET EACH OTHER UNTIL THE WEDDING!

I AM NOW 3 FOR 3 IN THE MATCHMAKING DEPARTMENT!

I THINK I'LL QUIT WHILE I'M AHEAD!!!
