We enjoyed a beautiful Christmas Concert at Temple Sqaure!

We had a nice Christmas! Sleight rides and Snowmen!

We didn't get to see most of our kids, as they stayed home or went to in-laws, but we surely did miss them. Fawn & Paul came for dinner and gift opening and we talked to the other kids on Christmas.

We did enjoyed the wonderful spirit of the season~the music (I love the Christmas music!)~the shows on TV~even went to a couple of plays...and sad to say, all the decorations are now put away and normal life has settled back in. Nephi is working at Resorts West again this winter, so we must to stay close to home.

Grandpa Nephi and the grand kids checked out the neighborhood ice cream parlor where Chynna sang for the customers and her share of ice cream.
Great fun!!

We had a nice Thanksgiving even though we were missing most of the kids for the holiday. Fawn and Cassie with their families had a nice dinner together with us (Nephi is taking the photo). But we sure missed the rest of our children and their families!

Always grateful this time of the year for the blessings of a good family, good health and the gospel in our lives!

That night, the ladies, escaped for a midnight shopping spree (Black Friday). What were we thinking??



A couple of days later we enjoyed being together at the wedding of Jason and Jodie Mullis. Lovely wedding and fun reception. Great to see and enjoy the extended family.

Silly looking cows, I know, I could have worked on it another 2 weeks! But since I was donating my time, I decided to call it done.

I have been working on a mural for the new cheese factory, just down the road from us, in Midway. After 2 weeks I finally finished it yesterday. It is a huge wall up about 14 feet on scaffolding.

We spent three days volunteering at the Heber City Cowboy Poetry Gathering last week. It was fun but a lot of work. The best part were the free concerts and meeting lots of people. This is Cowboy Santa Val from Spring City.

Nephi had another Birthday Oct. 12th! They keep coming weather we want them or not. We celebrated at the football field while watching one of Chances games.

Our trip to Southern California was fun, but it always feels so good to come home. And sunny California wasn't so sunny, it was rainy & cloudy the whole time. We had a good time with Shuma at his 7th birthday party.

Went to the beach, Medieval Times, the LA Temple, old town San Diego and a ferry trip to Catalina Island. Spent a day in Zions Park on the way home.

September 2010

September was a busy month, with Swiss Days, a visit from Nephi's two brothers ( Norm & Bonnie and Ray & Charlotte), and a wedding where they rented Nephi's 38 Ford pickup for the reception.

And our 40th Anniversary~wow!

I have joined an art association, so have been painting quite a bit. In July they held their annual Plein Aire Competition. You have to paint out of doors with in the week of the competition. I even sold a couple of paintings, so that was great.
