Nana and Papa visit from Iowa!!!

We were so sad to see Trav's parents leave.
We had such a good time. They made such good
timing. They were able to catch Trav's basketball
game Friday night. Papa brought tickets for
General Priesthood session Saturday night so
Jr. and Trav were able to go with him. Sunday
Dennis brought tickets for the Sunday
afternoon session so Tanner, Michael and I were
able to attend that day with Nana, Gram and Papa.
Monday afternoon Trav, Papa and Aiden went golfing
while Kae and I went for a tour of the valley and
downtown.Monday night we had Family Home Evening
and headed to Michael's game. Tuesday the guys
went for a hike and exploring. We love you
Nana and Papa!! Thanks for the fun times and memories.
Hope to see you soon!!

I can't imagine anyone calling Kae and Den "Nana and Papa". They still seem too young for grandkids to my mind. Heck, I still remember how little Rebbecca was when they moved into the ward. Holy cow I'm old.

OUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OUR FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Parents need to "play offense" - to capitalize on the impressionable years of childhood by instilling in their sons the antecedents of character. Their assignment during two brief decades will be to trasform their boys from immature and flighty youngsters into honest, caring men who will be respectful of women, loyal and faithful in marriage, keepers of commitments, strong and decisive leaders, good workers, and secure. And of course, the ultimate goal for people of faithis to give each child understanding of scripture and a lifelong passion of Jesus Christ. This is, I believe. the most important responsibility for those of us who have been entrusted with the careand Nurturance of children.

Christmas In Elma!!

We left for WA the 13th of December - I barely made it to Seattle to hand the kids over to my Dad and catch a flight to Atlanta where I would join Trav for his company Christmas Party the next day. Trav and I had a fun get away and were able to do a little Christmas shopping. We stayed Thursday, Friday and Saturday and flew back to Seattle Sunday morning where we stayed until January 3rd - We were able to catch a Elma Boys Basketball game. The boys thought it was really cool looking at all the family(uncles & aunts) names on the walls before you entered the Gym doors. Michael and I went and Chatted with Coach Nadau one afternoon. It was so fun spending time with family and friends
