Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.
Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one....Jane Howard
"Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters. Help carry their load so you can say, like the lyrics of that song, 'He ain't heavy; he's my brother.' " Ezra Taft Benson

Where does the time go??

Can't believe it has been a month since I have updated my family!!!
Thanksgiving was great with my parents and siblings!! Happy Retirement, Dad!!!! Lots of years on the rails driving those many trains!!! What a great example you are to our family being the hard worker you are....43.5 years...WOW!!!
We have attended concerts...that great time of the year.....Audrey and her violin playing and Emily and her recorder (love 4th grade...I think we now have 4 recorders within the walls of our home!)
We painted the TV room.....I brought home paint chips for the kids to pick out the color(s) they wanted......french grey with a light brown and an even lighter tan. Looks really good.....Kevin, Kassidy and I did it just in time for our friend Christmas party! Kevin and I were in a store and I saw a BYU banner.....funny thing....colors looked the same as our TV room....Guess we love the cougars....and Kevin's job!!!
Kassidy is home for the holidays...great having her around with us.... the kids are playing the wii and making memories together!!!!
We had 40 people over last night for a party....bingo, right left game, and the tradition white elephant gift game....lots of fun!!
Audrey and Zach sang a duet in church together....did fabulous!!!!!
We are looking forward to our holiday season....we love this time of the year....
