Happy New Year!


We survived the annual Christmas picture! As we are taking the pictures, Tyler leans over to Bradley and says, " I hate this!" I lean over and say, "Smile, it's only once a year!" As you can see from the pictures it was a beautiful clear day. In Utah that doesn't mean it was WARM and clear, usually COOOLD and clear. I'm surprised our breath didn't show up in the pictures. (It felt like 10 deg. with the wind! I was jealous of all the So. Cal Christmas card pictures.) We do enjoy the beautiful scenery the snow blesses us with, and I don't think Bradley could survive without snow skiing every winter.


We do want to take this opportunity and thank EVERYONE for their Christmas cards. We enjoy getting your letters and keeping updated with your family. After last year, I decided to send our family Christmas cards the cheaters way, by way of blogging. 2008 bought many joys and blessings to our family. Family vacations, family reunions, Tyler coming home from his mission, Lisa going off to college, visiting our children and grandchildren in Mississippi and Dutch John, going to Hawaii, working, reorganizing, and enjoying life. Again, as with each year, we wish each of you a safe and peaceful new year and may the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ dwell in your heart. If you are EVER in Provo, please give us a call. With only 4 people in a 6 bedroom house, we always have room for guests.

Well since you mention it i will be coming to provo March 9th-15. If it's not too much trouble to give me a bed to rest my head, food to fill my belly and maybe even projects to work on while i'm there that would be great!
Keep in mind i still have to do homework so don't make those project too long!
Love you!
