The WALL



We enjoyed having Val and Spencer here for the last month, they were on their break from school and we hired him to do some cement work and some major back yard work at our house. It looks great and we are so grateful that that job is progressing. We want to plant some trees and grass and have our own little back yard garden area. We are going to love it! I'm so excited to finally have something done back there. We have lived on this property for about 14 years and we are really due to make something of the place.

Disneyland at Christmas time is so fun! We were amazed at the decorations....we? ok maybe just me, I was amazed at the decorations and the fun and music at Disneyland for Christmas. Everything was so perfect accept the crowds. There were so many people. We went to California on the 28th and spent Monday and Tuesday in the park. The Christmas parade was my favorite thing. I loved it. We have video if anyone is interested in watching. We came home on the 31st. It was a fun trip to take these two spoiled boys left at home. I enjoyed being with them and Mike. We were tired of walking and making our way through the crowds but we enjoyed being together. We got home in time for the boys to go to the New Years dance. Then on Jan. 2 & 3 all our kids came to town for our Kung Fu Panda Wa-chow party. Val had given us assignments to come up with a song from Christmas, and we had Chinese food that was just delicious. We decorated the garage and had our party down there. We then went over to Jay and Brittany's and swam in Kirk and Wendy Brimhall's pool. We then had a planning mtg. for the upcoming year, we have lots going on. We have our first granddaughter coming in April and then we have 3 graduations, Chanucy from nursing school in Thatcher and Spencer from engineer school in New Mexico and Gavin from HS. Gavin will by then have a mission call and we will be looking forward to Trevor's return in July. We are in charge of our family reunion the end of July and it seems that life could not be more busy. But all is good and we love life.
