San Francisco Here we come!

Here we are waiting for our cruise around the
Bay.

We enjoyed watching these seals as they laid
in the sun. They were so noisy.


Shopping at Union Square

Waiting for a ride on the Trolley

In our room

David and I had bought 2 tickets last year
from my sister Kathy who works for U.S Air
We could fly anywhere that
U.S Air fly's and we had a year to use
the tickets. Well, with only 3 days left
to go we decided to fly to San Francisco.
What a good choice we made.
There was never a dull moment we
were busy from sun up to sun down.
The weather was beautiful and we rode
on Trolley's, electric buses, the Bart,
and a double Decker bus. We also cruised
under the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz.
We did a lot of walking and ate at some
yummy restaurants. It was a lot of fun
spending time together. We are talking
and making plans for our next vacation.

Merry Christmas to my little Reindeers!

It has been a busy month of decorations,
practicing our songs, and lots of
excitement as we have been preparing and
waiting for our Preschool Christmas program.
It is finally here!
On Wednesday and Thursday we
had fun singing, eating and opening gifts.
I have so much fun being with these
wonderful children! They have really
brightened up my Holidays. I hope
they have a Merry Christmas. I will
be happy to see them the first of the year.

We wish Grant and Heath Happy 20th Birthday!

Our boy's are in far away lands
serving missions. I couldn't let this
special day go by with out wishing
them a Happy Birthday!! I do
miss them, but they love their
missions with all of their hearts, and
this is where they want to be, serving
the Lord and teaching the Gospel. It
is such a blessing to receive their emails
and to hear of all their wonderful
experiences.
We are so grateful for our boy's and I
wish I could give them big hugs and kisses,
but I will have to wait 16 months.
On Christmas Day we will be talking to them.
I CAN'T HARDLY WAIT!!
The boy's emailed us yesterday and we are
making arrangements for those long awaited
phone calls!
I searched thru some of my scrapbooks for
pictures of Grant and Heath. It was so much fun.
I cried a little and laughed a little and 2 hours
later I was still looking at pictures and
remembering all the memories we had together
as a family when they were little.
WOW, Where has all the time gone?

The Parade in Florence

David and I along with my mom
and dad had fun going to Florence Az.
Krisiti, Jason and the kids were in
the Parade. Jason has opened a Dentist
office in Florence. It was a fun day
and we got a tour of Jason's newly
decorated office. Then we enjoyed
eating some Mexican food on the way home.

Counting My Blessings!

I love this time of year. It is
finally beginning to feel like the
Holidays! The weather is turning
cooler and I have enjoyed digging out
my Winter clothes. I just put on
my flannel sheets and I can't wait
to crawl into them tonight. I have so
much to be thankful for especially this
beautiful time of year.
Here are a few of my
Blessings...

My boy's serving missions!
I do miss them soo much especially this
time of year but our family looks forward
to hearing their voices as they
will call us on Christmas Day!!

Trevor, Lori and Kelsie
It is fun to see my kids starting their
own life. I am proud of them and
love my Granddaughter! She truly
gives me lots of JOY!

Lindsay
She has always been my best friend.
When she was born, I was so excited
to have a girl first. She has been such a
great example to her brothers.

David, My Sweetie!
I remember the first time I saw him.
I loved his smile. That is what I still
love about him. It doesn't matter what
kind of day I have had he will always
have a big smile for me and a hug.
I am grateful to have wonderful 

parents who have been our 

neighbors for many years. 

It is fun when mom will call
me up and say "Are you ready

 for a pop? It could be at 10:00 

at night it doesn't matter when. 

I am always ready to go!!

I am thankful for my sisters !
We all live within 10 minutes of
each other. Not many people can

say that. We enjoy having lunch,

going to the movies, and last but 

not least shopping! I love my

brothers! We have always been 

a very close family and the 

Holidays have been special 

times together.
I am so thankful for my many
blessings! Spending time with the
ones I love is what it is all about!

We wish you a Happy Birthday! Lindsay

Lindsay is a Teacher's Aide and the children

Trevor and Lori's new home!!

Trevor and Lori have been waiting
for a few months now to hear from the realtor
about a home that they had put a bid on.
They had called us with the good news that
the house was theirs. I watched Kelsie
while they went and signed the papers.
They got such a wonderful deal on this home
and David and I felt like this was going to
be the house that they had been waiting for.

Three days last week we had a lot of fun
moving them into their home. It has 3
bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It has beautiful
shutters throughout. I told Lori I am a
little jealous because I have always wanted
shutters! Great Grandma Greer came
out to be Kelsie's babysitter while Lori and
I went through boxes and got the kitchen
and bedrooms in order. Trevor and David were
busy moving furniture. This is a big step for
them and we are so excited to be apart of
this big memory in their life!

Happy Birthday Honey!

David's Birthday was October 14th.
Happy Birthday, honey. It has been
a very busy week. We are in the progress
of moving Trevor and Lori into their new
home. So we have been busy. We are so
excited for them. So we are putting the
Birthday celebration on hold for now.

I love you and you have such a kind heart
always putting everyone first before
your self. You are the most loving husband
and father. We are so blessed to have you
in our lives!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

October has always been a busy month for
our family. Through the years we have always
planned vacations, party's and many family
get together's celebrating Birthdays. First,
I would like to wish Trevor a Happy 24th

Birthday October 10th.

I would like to share with you

some special qualities. I love about
my awesome son, Trevor:

As a child he was a wonderful example to
his brother's and sister. When the twins were
born he was the" go getter" he was only
3 years old but I could ask him for diapers,
bottles, diaper bag and he would always
bring it to me with a smile!

At 5 years old he was quite the singer.
Country music was his favorite. He would
always serenade us in the car.

He was always an obedient and a loving child
always striving to keep the commandments.

At his baptism he sang all four verses
of nephi's Courage all by himself.

In sixth grade he was the
Student Body President.

Awesome Soccer player

Served an honorble mission to Ecuador.

Married in the Mesa, Arizona Temple to
Lori September 15, 2006.

Became a loving and fun dad to Kelsie
February 10th. I love how he plays

with her. You can see how he loves her,
and she loves her dad.

He is a hard worker. He works two jobs
and goes to school working on his degree.

They have purchased their own home that
they will move into soon.

How blessed we are to have Trevor our
eldest son, as part of our eternal family.
Now he is beginning an eternal family of his
own with his sweet wife, Lori and daughter Kelsie.
What wonderful memories we are enjoying!

Fun time. We have had as many as 30 family

Not only do we enjoy yummy food, there
is a big lodge that has pool tables, air hockey,
ping pong tables, and this is where most
of the children like to be. There is a store where
we enjoy ice cream cones! Everyone
comments , "See ya next year!" "Same time
same place." Being together with our
family is a wonderful blessing and always special
MEMORIES!
