Last night Kayla decided that her daddy needed a pedicure. She did such a great job! Just make sure you don't move, 'cause she will set you straight!!

Happy Birthday Aaron & Hello Caribbean

Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to My Husband!! We will be getting on the cruise ship on his birthday (1-31-09). We are so excited (he is a little nervous)! For those who don't know, my mom is taking all of her kids (and their spouses) on a cruise to the West Caribbean. We are so excited. Aaron has never been on a plane and surely not a cruise ship (either one of us). My family is probably tired of me calling every other day to ask more questions. I look forward to spending time with my brother and sisters and my mom, and alone time with Aaron!!! Aaron's mom is going to come stay with our kids. She may not be too happy with us once she is here for a week in the -0 weather, now I know she really loves us!! Thanks Sue you are the best. The kids are so excited to have their Grandma coming to stay with them.

BIRTHDAYS

Tessa turned double digits on December 13 the big 10. Thanks to Aunt Nicole for the cute cake!! She had a very special birthday this year. She will never forget getting to celebrate Grandpa Sandall's life and her birthday on the same day. Thank you to my family for letting me throw something else in on that day! Tessa is such a bright girl we are so proud of her.

Then there is Jessica, turning the huge 12 on January 6. I threw a last minute surprise party for her and when I say last minute I mean it. I sent her to school then decided to call all her friends parents and tell them what my plan was, probably better that way I always seem to ruin surprises!!! Her birthday was on Tuesday so she got to go to mutual on Wednesday she was nervous but had a great time and now she gets to go do baptisms for the dead this weekend. She is such a sweet girl and yes mom is sad that she is growing up so fast, but she was impressed I didn't cry (yet)! I am so blessed to have such wonderful healthy children.

Thank You

I just wanted to finally take a moment and thank all my friends and family for your love and support through my fathers passing. It was a surprise. I am doing good, I think it is starting to hit me more now that the holiday activities are slowing down I have a little more time on my hands to think. Once again I have learned another valuable lesson through the loss of a loved one. It's been a hard year losing so many loved ones for all of us. I am so thankful that I have the Gospel in my life to help with the heartache. Our Savior is my inspiration and I know that I will see my loved ones again if I can try to live better each and every day. Don't go a day without telling your friends and family how much you love them (I did) now I have to live with the guilt of my stubbornness. Now I pray that I can remember the lesson that I have been taught. You will never know how much your prayers and thoughts will be remembered. Thanks again I love you all.

Thanksgiving

We had such a great Thanksgiving. We were so glad to have Jed, Nicole and the kids with us. My Mom was great, she brought most of dinner with her and it is a good thing since I was sick in bed on Thanksgiving day. Thank you to Mom, Nicole, and Teesha for making things happen.
I am so Thankful for Friends and Family that support us and show love and kindness always. I am thankful for a husband that honors his priesthood and his family. How thankful I am to have the gospel in my life to comfort me and my family through these difficult times in our country.
I hope that I can reach out to someone and help them through this Holiday season and remember Christ in all that I do, always. I love all of you and miss you.
