Happy Birthday Jared

On Saturday December 27th Jared turned 20 years old. I am so glad God sent him to us. He has kept us young. He has been the best little brother to his sisters and brothers. He is very close to his sisters. I am glad that he is going to college. He is a good uncle and is loved by his nieces and nephews. I made him a lemon cake with lemon frosting. He is looking at a welding helmet he received for his birthday.

Christmas 2008

We all had a very nice Christmas. Santa was good to each of us. We have enjoyed each others company. It is good to have my two of my sons home. I have missed my other children but I have talked to them.


This is Jared in front and Jim in the background.

Merry Christmas

I would like to wish my family and friends a very Merry Christmas. Remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and what he did for us.

Santa Do You Fill Those Stockings?

Yes! Santa does fill these stocking. Many years ago I made all of these stocking becasue Santa had a hard time filling small one. Today, Santa only fills the stockings for the Children who come home for Christmas.

Thanksgiving Day 2008

For the week of Thanksgiving my two sons who live in California came to Utah. Daniel came from Santa Maria and stayed with Adam and Jared. Lloyd and Julia came from Chico and stayed with Tanya. Jim and I went to Utah and stayed with Delora. This year we had dinner at Adam's house. We decided to eat at 4pm so that the guys had to day to do things.
Daniel brought blue hair dye with him. Before dinner all the boys went into the bathroom and put it in their hair and beards. This is a picture of them with the blue hair dye. From left to right is Lloyd, Adam, Jared, Daniel and their Dad. Dad did not put the blue in his hair.
