Thanksgiving Pictures

Sorry I'm so late on posting the Thanksgiving pictures, but believe it or not I have been really busy lately. Primary has been super busy trying to get everything ready for next year. I had to put the picture of Julie crying when she was telling what she is thankful for because she never reads the blog.

Crystal my mom was wanting to make sure you got your package.

I'll do a longer blog after Christmas.

Love ya all,

Update

Just a quick update for everyone---

I am doing great, I am working lots of hours and trying to stay on top of hiring new employees again. I hope to be done with that by the holidays but who knows. I am continuing with my Iaido classes and love them, the national seminar this year will be in Boise Idaho so I will not have to travel far, although we will be helping out so I don't know how much of the seminar I will really get to attend.

For everyone coming up for the Holidays, it is snowing like a mad man. It is suppose to snow 4 out of the next 7 days so remember to pack you warm, winter clothes so you don't FREEZE! Maybe you could go skiing, there is certainly enough snow to do it!

I am way excited to see everyone at Christmas and can't wait until you get here.

Mom and I have been doing fun activities with the kids and I am impressed by their generosity. We took them shopping to by clothes and toys for a family and it was so cute to see them trying to pick out the perfect gift so the kids would have a great Christmas!

Has anyone read InkDeath yet? I just started it and it has been really good better then Inkspell. For those who don't know what I am talking about there is a series of books called Inkheart, Inkspell, and now Inkdeath. Inkheart is suppose to come out as a movie soon, I loved Inkheart, Inkspell was harder for me to read, but so far Inkdeath has been really good.

Is anyone reading any good books? I am looking for some new books so let me know! I am still taking the Trax most days so I get about 2 hrs of reading time while I ride and I have been flying through books.

My primary class recently finished a coat drive for the homeless shelter, and we had a really good time doing it. It is always inspiring to see kids that are only 10 get excited about doing things for others.

Well I have to go, hope to hear from everyone soon.

Merry Christmas 2008

I'm just writing a quick message to the family, it sounds like everyone is busy busy busy. It must be the same for everyone. It has been a whirlwind quarter. Being gone for the month of September, catching up the month of October and I can't even tell you where November went.

We missed all the family that were absent on Thanksgiving; you are always in our thoughts and prayers.

I have been doing activities with my grandchildren for December. On the 6th we decorated gingerbread houses (graham cracker) with candy and royal frosting. It was a blast, Jack's Mom did this with our children every December. I am continuing the tradition. This Friday we are shopping for angel tree gifts for children less fortunate. Then this year we are going to try driving through the lights at Wilard Bay. Jack says they look cool from the freeway.

If you did'nt get my e-mail, I found a Christmas Advent Blog with thoughts and stories for each day before Christmas.
