A Quote to wrap your thoughts around

Change is the only process in life we can absolutely count on. Change is as essential as the air we breathe. In the autumn, do the trees refuse to let their dying leaves go? They release their old life so that new life can begin. To thrive, we must embrace the future rather than the past~ by Sue Frederick

Our Ninth Year Wedding Anniversary!

Jack and I have had nine blissful years of marriage together. We love each other more with each passing day. We thank Heavenly Father for answering our prayers and leading us together. We know our love grows because it is centered around Jesus Christ. Our family is such a precious gift to us. We arode our children and grandchildren more with each passing day also. We are so thankful for the blessings of the temple, that our love can grow throughout Eternity.

Thinking of my dreamboat

Thinking of my dreamboat....and his name is Jack. Yesterday he wore a new suit to Church, looked extremely handsome if I may say so myself. Bro. Hunsaker came up to me and said "Did you help Jack get dressed this morning"? Other compliments were sent my way of how handsome he looked in his new suit, I will confess I took him shopping (and picked up the jacket for him) but it was just his style. Jack said to me later..."Why is it when I get a compliment on my looks you get the credit? How funny. We both got a good laugh out of that. Forgot the picture sorry. Will get one next week in his new suit. I sure love that guy!

A Night of Fun!

We had a fun night with Heidi and Don's kids the other night. We started out learning Hannah Montana's Ho-down, Throw-Down dance, then we had a German Culture Tea Party with strawberry cake. Jack spoke German to the kids and help them learn some German words, he told them a little about Germany and they laughed and laughed trying to pronounce the German words. They were speaking German to me much after the tea party. Then Grandpa took the boys to finish up their leather coin purses they stamped (with a little help from Grandpa). The boys loved their creations. The girls and I played many, many games of slamwich. Then we read from the New Testament and taught the children the Savior's admonition; as you do unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me. That was an enlightening and spiritual end of a Sunday evening. We miss Adia, Orin and Hamilton, we have so much fun playing games with them and wished they were with us. We love you all so very, very much.

Christmas Dance Recital

Dance recitals are always a favorite of mine. I love to dance, always have. I love to watch the little girls perform their dances in their gorgeous costumes. Jack captured a few candid shots. Although the girls are natural models/posers and were not asked to pose, they just have fun with the camera. Above is Heidi with her girls back stage, as you can see it is no wonder these girls are so beautiful. Like Mother, like Daughters.

( I still miss Adia's dance and violyn recitals too, had to put that in...I adore all my granddaughters so much)

Fun Christmas party with the Viator's

It was good to have and see Chris with his family over for an early Christmas party. I miss Chris coming over with his siblings for one weekend a month. As he's grown up he's become less interested in spending the weekend with us. Oh! I expected that someday, but miss him dearly. I love Chris' sense of humor and bright smile. Good to have you sweetie! I love you. (Chris on the left, John and Kimi on the right)

Soooo good to have Jacob, Kara and the kids in town. We had such a fun time with them on the 30th. We played games and visited for a few hours. We miss you all so much. We wish we could have the kids every Saturday night too. We love you all so dearly.
