Where in the World?

Where will Valesca be called to serve a mission? Well, there are quite a few guesses. The answer comes on Thursday.

Baptisms with the Cousins

We invited the cousins to come and do baptisms before Valesca leaves on her mission.  They had hot chocolate and muffins at our house afterwards.  Glad that they could do this together.

Christmas time

Everyone sporting the aprons that mom made for them.

So grateful for family at this time of year...and so grateful for the child born in a manger.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Christmas Dance

I am grateful

Today I am grateful for my children- their fieldtrips to sing at retirement centers, band concerts, school dances, dating, and wanting to serve a mission.  I am so blessed to be a part of their lives.

Arizona Wedding

We flew down to Mesa to participate in the wedding of Gary and Donna. We enjoyed being with family.

It was fun the see the lights at the temple.

Catch the Vision

 Noah completed his Eagle Project in November.  He worked with his school and church group to gather used eyeglasses that can be given to those who cannot afford to buy them.

 He actually took 222 pairs of glasses to the charity.  They told him that he brought in more eyeglasses than they usually get donated in a whole year.

We think that he made a big difference.

A Christmas Carol

 My brother was so excited to be a part of his stake's version of A Christmas Carol.  He didn't tell us that he got to dance with girls though.

 His main part was of The Poulterer- the guy that sells the turkey to Scrooge at the end.

 It was an amazing production and they were blessed to be able to perform it a the Valley Music Hall for 4 performances.

Thanks for inviting us to see you in the play!
