Merry
Christmas 2015
Wow!
It's that beautiful time of year again that all of
God's children come
together praising and basking in the light of our Savior, Jesus
Christ. We love each of you- our dear friends and family. You have a
special place in our hearts. We are grateful for the love, example,
and special ways each of you have touched us. We wish you the very
best YEAR!
Some
special things happened this year. Humanitarian work has always been
a big passion. Five of us got to go to Mexico and build a home out of
cinder block for a destitute family. We fell in love with the people
and can't wait to go again this summer. We also were blessed to be
able to take Michael and his fiancee to Houston where he served. We
met some of the wonderful people he baptized, and worked with on his
mission. He taught us some fun and important facts like the Houston
Dive. This is when you enter a busy freeway, shoot over four lanes of
traffic to exit on the other side all within seconds! Oh what fun!!
Our
big ol' family just keeps growing... and growing up! Hilary was
married, and Michael will marry January 5th. We love
Karianne, Ty, and Kaylene and feel so blessed to have them be a part
of our family. We have Nate on a mission in Paraguay with 7 months
left and Jared counting down before he can go. He plans to leave
right after his 18th birthday June 28th.
What
joy watching all our children grow and progress. Some unexpected
inconveniences like stitches, and a broken bone but mostly blessings.
The children have been involved with National Honor Society,
scholarships, violin and piano recitals, sports, clubs, the list goes
on. Our youngest learning to walk and our oldest graduating from
college in the Spring. We are just so honored to be each of their
parents!

and I find ourselves laughing a lot at the funny things the kids do
and say at the different stages they are at! They keep us very busy
but we find time for short dinner dates, weekly movies, and our
Temple date every Saturday morning. We just celebrated our
anniversary and look forward to the rest of forever! We feel so
blessed by your friendship and support and love.
