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

really love her

We celebrated Lindsay's Birthday
October 29th shopping at Kohl's
and Target. Then we met Grandma,
Grandpa, Dad, Trevor, Lori, Kelsie,
and the Birthday Gal at El Rico's! We
had a great time! Yes, October
is a busy month but we have a
lot of fun celebrating! With many
fun memories!
