Thanksgiving with family

For Thanksgiving this year, Jeremy & Jeanette came from Clearfield, and Chris, Becky and children came from Illinois to enjoy the day with us. We had a lot of fun visiting, cooking, eating and playing. Everyone helped with the meals and cleanup. Here is Chris helping me in the kitchen.

I made a bunch of pies like I usually do, but had some help when Rodney volunteered to do some of the 2 crust variety.

This Thanksgiving we have a lot to be grateful for. We have a warm house with a new roof to live in, jobs to support our family, and a loving family that we are so grateful for.

We enjoyed spending time together and feeling the love of each other. Here we are with 10 of our 13 grandchidren, back row: Tia, Ellayna, Isaac, Dan, Jayce, Cabes, Larrissa, Heather, and Aisy. Front row: Ian, Aidyn and Brayden (who really didn't want to be in the picture)

Thanksgiving is a great time to remember all of the blessings that we have. We have so many that it would be impossible to list them all, but at the top of the list is family. We have been so blessed this year. We are especially grateful that Heavenly Father has kept us all safe and well and look forward to many more Thanksgivings.

Soft Curls and Baby Smiles

It was Kaia's blessing on Sunday and we traveled up to be there.

She has dark curly hair that is so soft.

Beautiful little fingers and toes.

And a smile to melt your heart.

We love you Kaia!

Jarell's Football Season

Jarell was so excited to play football this year and he really had a great time. He played offensive positions and defensive positions and special teams. They won most of their games and really had a great time. Jarell missed playing their last two games because he broke his wrist during a football practice.

He had to wear a splint for a week.

Then he got a cast on that he had to wear for 3 weeks. He did ask Dr. Nielson if he could play football with his cast, but was disappointed when the doctor said no.

He was very glad to get the cast off when the 3 weeks were over. Thus ends the football season for this year.
