Cruising time again....

Two years ago November our family went on a cruise. Next week we are off to the caribbean again with Dixie and Don. We are reminiscing about the good times we had with our family. We are sailing off on February 1st to San Juan, Puerto Rico, ST. Thomas, and St. Maarten. One week to go and we are getting excited. Stay tuned for pictures....


Here are the kids on the stairs on our way to dinner one night on the ship. Don't they clean up nice?

Weekend in Salt Lake

We went to Salt Lake for the weekend in January and met Autumn's friend Rich and got to see our adopted daughter Mary. We all went to the movie Bride Wars and had a good time.

Hubbards came to visit....

We always have a great time with the Hubbard Family.


Here they all are playing the WII...I think they were playing Mario Kart. Go Dixie!!! Boy they are all focused on the game.


Aly likes cupcakes. She sure is a cutie!!


We went to the famous Beus Hill and all went sledding. Nettie and Autumn got new snow attire...don't they look hot!!

Christmas Time....

We are a little behind with our postings. We sure had a good Christmas. We didn't take many pictures this year during the holidays. Hopefully we will be taking more now...since Kelly got a new camera for christmas.


SMILE!!! Autumn and me posing for a picture



We went and spent some time on Christmas at the Assisted Living Center with Uncle Tom. Tom loved his long sleeve shirt we gave him. He says it keeps him warm for the winter months. Everyone at the living center loves Kelly. We had a crowd there that day visiting with us.


Christmas dinner was very casual this year...most of us were not ready for the day. The food was mighty tasty though.

A quick tidbit about the Dogs

I have to put these pictures on the blog. It made us laugh. This red little bed is Summer and Bill's dog Ellie's. Max and Daisy kicked Ellie out and they both got in it and thought it was great. What crazy and fun dogs we have. They are such a big part of our family...we love them so much.

Turkey Day - 2008

Yes, this is Kelly and I after thanksgiving dinner....boy does turkey make you tired!!!!


Turkey can also make you a little crazy too....at least that is the case in this picture.


My parents enjoying themselves after thanksgiving dinner....they kind of look tired as well. What did Summer put in the thanksgiving dinner to make us all look and feel so relaxed.


Nettie is posing for a photo op after dinner to show she was there for thanksgiving dinner.

Here are Summer and Bill the host of Thanksgiving this year. We had a great time with all that came to share Thanksgiving with us this year. We are so thankful for family!!!!!

3 reasons October 12, 2008 will be remembered...

Yesterday October 12, 2008 was a special day for 3 reasons. The first being Kelly was made the Stake Assistant Clerk in stake conference. The second reason being Drew was made an Elder at Stake conference. The final reason is it was my 54th Birthday!!!

We are so proud of Drew and his worthiness to be able to hold the Melchizedek priesthood. He was so excited to be able to stand in the circle for his first time, when Kelly was put in his new Stake calling.

Kelly will be busy with his new calling in the Stake as well as his new calling in our ward as Activities Committee Chair.

Summer made me a birthday cake. My parents, Nettie, and Autumn were able to come as well for the big day.
Nettie and Autumn gave me this green shirt and vest. I had to model it off and get a picture with them.

Here we are eating ice cream and cake!!!!!! YUmYUm!!!
