Dear family,
I am glad to hear from some of you and miss you when you don't all or write. Is that a guilt trip? No I just mean I love you and wonder how you are every week.
I read a good book this week, by Glen Beck. I like the thought that we should ask our kids not "what" they want to be when they grow up but "who "they want to be. It is more to the point as we just want them to be happy, more that just taking care of yourself financially.
We saw David and Caty(sp) Sunday. They have three adorable little kids. Their little girl is 2 and has dark eyes and dark hair. It gave me a lump in my throat. Lucy and Malina would have had such fun. David and Caty seem to be doing well. I noticed that without their parents, the kids are drifting apart at least that's what I think. What would you do if your parents weren't around?
Dad has taken pictures of every member of our ward and visits the move-In's and move-outs. He knows who lives in every house in our ward. This has been very helpful to all the ward leader's as you can imagine. Way to go Dad.
I am on Stake Activities committee and we are organizing a Culture Night.
Tonight we are having our group Family Night . It is at our house. This is where we play games and eat and visit. I really enjoy this. Last month we went to a restaurant to eat.
Love you and remember you in our prayers. MOM

I hope you had a wonderful Valentines day. We got candy and some flowers. Just relaxed. So glad that our vacationers had fun and got back safe. It is hard to come back to snow?
We have two little dogs Joy, and Bear cries when Le leaves. He can't sleep well and Ben goes up to Grandpa and Grandma's house. They get so excited when you get home. Ben has had three seizures so who knows what he will need. We just wait and see if he has them close together. I have never had a dog that wants to hug and lick you and be with you all the time. It's been like having a toddler.
I have be doing arbitration with the indexing pages. That means you have two pages on the screen by two different people and you decide between the two who had the best answer or put in one that you think it better than they. Its always a name ya know. I hate to get them wrong because someone is going to take them to the temple. I have 5,400 names that I have done myself.
Do you all get the Hillsdale College pamphlet? If you don't I would like to send it to you. It is the best political education I have seen.
Dad is going to Vernal this week. He is keeping really busy.
I am getting ready to paint and do the downstairs area fixed up. I want it to be southwest. Warm and Latin feeling. Any ideas?
We will be getting away in March. Vanita will come up here and stay with Mom and Dad. They are sure getting frail.
Take care, Love Mom

Happy Birthday Molly!

It's awful that of all the beautiful shots taken of Molly, this is the best one I have to highlight her birthday with. But when your really looking, can't you just see all the beauty in this picture. (She's asleep in a chair on the left.) Molly I hope you have a great birthday, and that maybe Vic does something special, like an exotic get-a-way or peaceful retreat. ...if only... We love you!

Goodby!

How I Feel!

Why: Paul & Kristyn moved to California, and they took Thacker with them. Seriously, we are so excited for you, but we are missing you already. Can't wait to see pics are hear all about the beach. Tell us everything.
( No child was harmed in the making of this picture but it was so cute we had to tease him just a little. Just look at his face; "Are you gonna share or do I have to take it?"
