COUNT OUR BLESSINGS

Well I have come to the end of our Thanksgiving journey, and so I think I will tell you all what we are thankful for. I can say for both Al & I that we are very thankfull for our family. We love each of them and are so proud of the steps they take to become better people and that they teach their children to do the same. I for one and thankful for my Heavenly Father who sent spirits to me to guide me through my life. If it hadn't been for that guidence I would not be who I am today. I am also thankful for his son for giving his life for us so that we might return to our families and all be together again. I am thankful that I came to earth so that I could grow and have the opportunity to be with Heavenly Father again. I have a deep love for Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. I know they love me. They have given each of us so much and I can't even imagine what it would be like to be with out them. Most of all I am thankful for my sweet husband, whom I love so much. I thank him for his love for me, his patience for me, and his excepting me for what I am. He can truly see what I can become. I feel I am truly blessed this season with all these people at my side, encouring me and loving me. Merry Chrismas.....

FINALLY!!!!!!

I finally got him. I don't know if he gave up or I got smart. Of course it was because I got smart. He is not smiling and doesn't look to pleased, but hay I got it. Any body who sees this might want to hang on to it. We may never have another.

OOPS!

Still trying to get a picture. As you can see Crosby was just as bad as Leo. He was willing to let me take his back side. I am not sure it is the best image of him, but if that is what he wants us to see then he is in the right position. I would still like his face instead of his bum.....

Camera Shy

This is the top of Leo's head. We tryed and tryed to get a picture of him. We pleaded and cryed but to no avail...

SLEEPING BEAUTY

Here is James. As you can see he in in deep thought. This is his bed since we kicked him out of his bedroom. I just had to show every body how he celebrated Thanksgiving!!!!

THE GREAT COOK

Emily is making a pomagrant salad. This was her assignment for Thanksgiving. She also made the hat she is wearing. She is a regular Martha Stewart.

Hiking the Hills

We finally got our chance to hike the hills. We went to Snow Canyon. We love to walk around the red rocks, but I have to admit this time we went to break the law. Not a big law, but a very small one. We went to get some rocks for Aunt Glenna. Leo brought me some and Glenna wanted to have some, I wasn't about to give her any Leo gave me so we had to resort to stealing. Leo told us where to go. We got lost so I asked the ranger where to find these rocks. Did I feel guilty, a little, but we still did it. We did find the rocks and we did take some. Most of all we enjoyed the beautiful country that we were in. I don't know how people cannot believe in God when there is beauty like this. Oh by the way Glenna did get the rocks and loved them.

Crosby's Bedroom

Well here is Crosby's bedroom. It is really neat. You can't get to it from the inside of the house, you have to go down a windy stair case, around and around. We couldn't get into his room because he had it locked. He was afraid that Haylee would come and get even with him, since he came to our house and dumped her matress on the floor. One thing about his room that is not so neat is that there is no toilet. Every time he needs the restroom, down the stairs he goes. Sometimes he comes down really fast.....

Our Beautiful Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving this year was spent in St. George with our son Leo, Kevin, Tina and all the kids. We thought we were going to see beautiful weather, but our hopes were let down when the first two days we were all stuck in the house, looking out at the rain. The park we planned on going to the the frisbee we were going to play all had to be put on hold. As you can see by the picture the sun finally came out and we were off doing what we needed to do. We did some hiking, shopping, sight seeing and Shopping. What can I say we had Emily and she could shop till we all dropped.
