I'm going to be a grandma again!
Rayalee is due in August! This will make grandchild number three!

I wonder what is in his mouth! :)

Brooklyn feeding the guinea pigs for grandpa! She has her own cup that she uses and gets very upset if they are fed before she comes! She is Grandpa's little helper!

Wishing all a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!

Christmas is a time for family to gather together and share in the joy of the holiday! May all of you enjoy this time of joy and reflection! May we focus on the birth and life of our Saviour Jesus Christ! May we try to be more like him at this time and through out the year!

James and I are busy and happy. Work is keeping James busy, along with A.C.B.A. and his church callings! But he always makes time for us!

They dissolved our ward this past month. We are now part of the Ninth Ward. We are enjoying the new ward and new friends, but we miss those who were moved into the Emerald Bay Ward. James is now the assistant teachers quorum advisor, and I am the visiting teaching coordinator. I am enjoying being a grandma and looking forward to our new arrival in August!

Dennis is off for winter break and will soon be back in school! He is enjoying his time and filling it with lots of activities. He is in the Elders quorum presidency in the singles ward. He has been singing in the choir. They just finished their Christmas program! As with most young people he is looking for a job.

Katlyn is also finished with school and on the job hunt! She will be moving in with her sister in a few months. (She wants to spread her wings) She bought her first vehicle, a 74 Chevy truck! (She calls it "Tinkerbell Tank"!) It is a tank! :) But she loves it!

Andrew is now SIXTEEN! He had a birthday party with a bunch of friends. It reminded me of the parties we had when I was a teenager! He passed all his classes (YEAH!!!!!!!!) He will start drivers education this next semester, look out america! :) Andrew is now a priest and will get a chance to bless the sacrament. (This makes him NERVOUS!!!) He will do great!

Braden is getting taller and taller! He will pass Kevin in height if he keeps growing as he has been! He is still playing the cello and loving it! His grades were great also! He is one of my book worms and is looking forward to Christmas. He asked for books. Braden has been asked to be the deacons quorum secretary. With twelve deacons this should keep him busy!

Kevin is stll in the mission office but is now serving as the financial secretary. He is loving it and feels the weight of responsibility on his shoulders! He has been singing in the mission choir and they have had several preformances. We are looking forward to hearing from him Christmas day!!!!!!!!!

Well we have come to a close again! May your holiday be joyful! May we all remember the true reason for this beautiful season!
