Thankfulness


I thought that it would be appropriate to list some things that I am thankful for for the year of 2009. Our family has had great adversity this year but it has only made us stronger and that I am thankful for. I am grateful for healthy beautiful children who are growing up right before my eyes. I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband who honors his priesthood and is a great father and loving husband.I am grateful for the gospel . Above all I am blessed to know of my Savior Jesus Christ and his love for me. He is the center of my world and without him my life would be empty and obsolete. I am thankful everyday for all of the wonderful blessings that the Lord has bestowed upon me and my family.

Veterans are Remembered

In honor of our Veterans the youth in our stake had a wonderful service project to put flags at every grave in this Veterans cemetery. There were about 3,000 plots. There was a great turn out for the service project.



This is an LDS Veteran. Notice the Moroni symbol.

This was Melanie's first service project with the youth. She is really growing up to be a beautiful young woman.


Caroline loves service projects. She was very excited to be here for this special project.



Our cousins are in the same stake and the girls are excited to see them at functions
like this one.



I am very grateful to all of the men and women who serve and protect our country. I am especially grateful for our Veterans and those who have died defending our freedom. God bless our country.

Halloween Excitement

Who are these people you ask? Well They decided to dress up like the bishop and his wife. Matt is wearing a bald wig and stuffed his shirt to resemble Gregg's plumpness. Nondi curled her hair and is wearing a long skirt and scarf to try and resemble me. We were stunned when they told us who they were. We laughed and laughed. All of this took place at the trunk or treat chili cookoff that our ward did on Friday night. It was a ton of fun.
What a perfect bee costume for little Kimberly. She fits the role!!


Here are the trick or treaters for this year. We have little Red Riding Hood, Scary Skeleton Grim Reaper mix, Gypsy, and Bumble Bee. I think they love it more than Christmas.
