Visitors from the South!

They came, they saw, they spent, they ate, they made messes...jk..., they tutored on the computered!

And they left us with happy hearts!

Mom made yummy food
the whole time , and never
a mess in the kitchen ...

How does she do it?







Debbi ... the computer wizard
giving computer lessons.









Janelle - The Flower Girl!

Tah-Dah!

Tah - Dah!

Nana also wanted "something new" for the island, so we went tropical! (Get it? Island? Tropical? (: )

Fun Stuff!

This is just some of the fun stuff we did ...

Notice how many times there's food in the picture!

We hung out in the kitchen a lot ...

cuz that's where the food is ....

OH REALLY?!

Deb helping Dad with the computer. Mom is super happy about this!





If you haven't seen the albums Dad is working on, you're missing out!




Amidst all the chaos, Mom still had to give a talk for a Ward Conference on Sunday! She's our favorite
Stake Relief Society Prez!

Dad can't believe his eyes ...

MORE FOOD!

(Nana's really good at food!)

Surprise!

So after Debbi left we switched visitors! (:
Courtney came up Sunday afternoon... what a nice surprise!

Monday morning came and so did the sound of the rototiller! ...

WHAT? Mom's doing manual labor! We can't let that happen!



Give me that! (:

WHEW!

We got a lot done and we're totally confused with what's going on with the computer...

Thanks to the VISITORS FROM THE SOUTH!

What we've been up to!

Dad has been putting together all our pictures
of all the kids and putting them into binders.

He has been working hard and long to make
sure they go in the right spot and trims them to look good on the binder
pages. (they do look great!)
And when he gets tired of doing it he sits down
and reads the paper!

Hi everyone . . .


Dec 22nd.
It is still snowing, BIG flakes coming down steady . . . The snow blower will get a work out today.. It looks like Bruce and family are not out of the woods yet.. snow forecast for the next few days all the way through Christmas.. Our weather is the same but clearing on Monday and Tuesday... we have at least a 18" to 24" of snow and more coming. Be safe out there......



I'm still trying to master this blog thing .. so you will get it in pieces until I do.. So if you get double pictures just delete one set...

Rea misplace her temple Recommend and needs to get an other one since we have to work in the temple on Sat after Christmas. the temple will be closed from Jan 1st too the 20th. They are replacing the carpet and seats in the endownment rooms and the veil room. They have replaced the greenish lights on the towers with white ones. It stands out and looks much better.

Well it's almost Christmas and we are ready for it and hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and remember why we celebrate the birth of our Savior and all the blessings that brings to us and our families. Stay close to the gospel and listen to the living prophet President Monsen.

Well, I've rattled on and will close with my love to and for each of you and your families. We now have 30 grand children and 18 Greatgrand children and we love each and every one.
