Hello Dear Loved Ones,

I have not kept up on my blog for many months, I am going to try to do better.

In November we got to go back to Wyoming at see my family for a few days, but it seems without fail we get sick when we go out and we get everyone else sick while we are there. But we had a great time eating turkey and shooting clay pigeons. We were able to meet Dean's girlfriend, Kelli and her daughter Morganne. Kelli is so wonderful for Dean. I am so happy for the two of them. She is so fun to talk to, and seems to have no problem fitting right in with 7 close sisters.

We also got to know Lyndee Bradshaw more, and meet cute, little Gavin. Lyndee is so perfect for Aaron. She is such a sweetheart. We are so excited for their wedding announcement. They are a perfect couple. It is so great to see my brothers so happy!!!

For Christmas, Jeff's sister came up from Utah, to stay for a couple weeks. We had Christmas Eve at his oldest sister's house, Christmas morning was at my house, and Christmas Day was at Jeff's parents' house. The kids seemed to enjoy Christmas morning. We got them a couple motorbikes to ride around the property, but I think Jeff and I get more of a kick out of them. We have had to do a lot more laundry because of all the mud, but it's definitely worth it.

On January 1, 2010, Jeff and I were able to spend our day in the Sacramento Temple. It was a great way to start the year. He was able to do work for a cousin that passed away when he was 19 years old. It was really neat!

The rest of this month had been a challenge because Jeff has been on storm damage for the past 10 days. Last Monday, MLK day, we had a very strong storms come and it didn't stop for over a week. So a lot of power lines went down. He worked in Marysville for a while, but now is in Grass Valley/ Sierra City. I hope that he will be able to come home this weekend. I am excited for next week, because we will be headed out to Wyoming for Aaron and Lyndee's wedding in Lyman.

Well, nothing else too exciting is happening. I hope you all are doing well.
