Christmas was a full house....

Christmas this year was just perfect. Everyone was here and we had a wonderful time. The gifts were great, yet I felt the greatest of all was having everyone here during the Christmas season. Carla, Hilton and the boys stayed with us and Autumn, Charlie and their family stayed with Brent and Andrea. We had a week full of Christmas lights, volleyball at the church and Scott taught us all how to play poker. I love my family and felt so blessed to have them home for the holidays. This was the best gift of all just having everyone together and knowing how Eternity will be like. Remembering Christ humble birth and the greatest gift of all being able to be together forever. I hope that this Christmas season was as special for you. Madison got a pink scooter.

Santa (Heather) gave Brooklyn a big girl car seat....

Grandma made Brooklyn a princess quilt.

The unwrapping began.

Presents were all passed out to each family and then ....

All the grand kids got new PJ's and posted for the picture.

Cinnamon Rolls, Hot Chocolate and Sausage Casserole was the menu at our house on Christmas morning.

Jonathan's 3rd BIrthday Party

Jonathan had a real hard beginning and look at him now. We were able to enjoy the party with him at his birthday party. How thankful we are for great doctors that did what needed to be done. We love you Jonathan...

Jonathan's 3rd birthday was a little bit earily this year so we could be there and he was all smiles.

Jonathan had a dinasour party and he is excited about his cake...

Pin the tail on the dinasour was just one of the games.

Some of the things we did at Carla's House

We really had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. We took a trip up to Cedar City and spent sometime with Carla, Hilton, Alexander, Nicholas and Jonathan's family. It was wonderful to do so many fun things that Carla planned and I have included some pictures of just a few of the things we did. Tim's parents came over for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful to spend sometime with them. We were really busy and everyday from Wendesday till Saturday we were just having a great time.
I really feel blessed for the family that we have. I am so Thankful to my Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ. The plan is so perfect and to be able to be together is a goal that is so complete. Families are Forever and I am so glad for mine.


Heather had a good time riding the ATV in the rain.

Brooklyn did too

The food was great.

The kids were set at their own decorated table what fun!

Everyone enjoyed the feast.

Trunk R Treat

Every year on Halloween our ward has a Trunk R Treat where families get together and enjoy the holiday decorate their trunks and make games and spend time together with other members of the ward. We always make a game and enjoy seeing all the children and adults in costume having fun. They always have plenty of hot dogs and chips so the kids don't just eat candy all night long. Our game this year was a join effort with Scott having the idea and he and his dad making it happen. It was a game where the kids would throw a ball and if it landed in a orange painted cup they won a gold fish and if they didn't they got a toy. It was the favorite of the night and won first place for the best game. Scott bought at least 80 gold fish so towards the end we ended up giving them away if they landed on the orange cup or not. It was so much fun watching the kids try to win (most more than once) and as soon as they were done they would get right back in line to try again. Everyone had a great time and it was fun just to be together with family and friends. I've included some of the grandkids in their costumes and as you can see Tim and I didn't dress up much, yet we enjoyed everyone else. Hope everyone had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Holley, my cute daughter in law, sent me some more Pumpkin Patch pictures so I just wanted to post them. One is of all the grand kids that went to the pumpkin patch and the other is the wagon full of grand kids that got a ride from Grandpa, Scott and Kevin. They all thought that was the best ride that day. Pretty cool way to get transport them around and it was free which was a real plus...
