Dad's hike

These are pictures of a hike dad went on with another ward's YM leaders to figure out where they would take the boys and where they wanted special guests to meet the boys on the trail. It's above Superior in a canyon somewhere. It looks really neat. Kind of reminds me of Aravipa. Dad said there were cactuc and trees growing out of the rocks - all on their own. One picture is of a waterfall and a bush near it was covered in ice! Cool! It will be a good experience for the boys if everything goes as planned.

Family Christmas Party

Here are a few pictures of the Christmas party. Here we all are in the front room, so we could use the piano! It was crowded! Then there's the nativity part of the program, and Lona and girls lip sync and Elise and Maeley opening up their presents. We had a good time, lots of food and fun. The kids played outside, even though it was cold. Sorry didn't get any pictures of that!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Ambition

For the past couple years I have wanted to have matching homemade stockings and my kids to have matching church outfits at Christmas time. This year I was finally able to do it! A big shout out to mom for her sewing knowledge! (Kensington was crying during this picture)

Christmas Time is Here!

Here is are a couple pictures of our Christmas Tree & Train and one of the kids visiting with Santa at our ward party. He was the best Santa! He spoke very kindly/gently with the kids and his beard was REAL. Kensington just sat there and played with it while staring at him.

Kentucky

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Kentucky. Here we all are at dad's bedside, this is the house we stayed in and a picture of the chapel in Beattyville and the day before we left we went up to see the natural bridge, but it was foggy! It was beautiful and eerie. These are the pictures Lona took. Still waiting on the other ones. We had a great time there, it's just what the "doctor ordered", so to speak. We all needed to be together.

Prom and Sunday Night

Here's a couple of pictures of Dallon and his prom date - Shae Western - a very nice girl. They all came over to the house after the prom to play games and "hang out".

Sunday night everyone came for dinner, except me - I was in Kentucky with my dad, mom, brothers and sisters - pictures will be coming later. Here's some of the grandkids, trying to peel an orange and then Grandpa helping them. Notice who came to dinner - he's sitting by Emmee!

Landon

Landon Teller got home from his mission Friday night. He has a great countenance! He came over Saturday and we took a picture with Clinton. He thought that was pretty cool!
