"Within the family is the best place to learn to love others the way Heavenly Father loves each one of us."

I drove Calla to the ER the other night, with what seemed to be an appendicitis attack. The Dr. wasn't sure, so she sent her home and told us to watch her temperature and pain. After a few days, Calla seems to be better, and we're grateful. She made and frosted some sugar cookies and shared them with the neighbor that helped give her a priesthood blessing. She loves to cook!

2010 Grand Ball "Winter Wonderland"


It always amazes me how talented the wards are when it comes to decorating. They really put a lot of time in and effort and it shows.

Here's the way it looked right before the crowd came thru. We set out 500 plates and when it ended, there were only 24 plates left. Only had to run to the dollar store for a couple bottles of Ranch dressing at the end so the youth servers could have some. We had pork roast, baked potatoes, candied carrots, corn, rolls, salad, fruit, applesauce and chocolate cream puffs. So yummy!

Touring the Lindsay Fire Station in Mesa





Tillie, Calla and Kaddie went up together first. Then Leah and Jenny and Mom gave it a knee-shaking try.

Grandpa and Jay went up to the highest height in the ladder truck.




A fun weekend






The football helmet and shoulder pads once fit Tim really well...we had some good laughs. Isn't Kamri a little dolly? Connor is at the age his daddy was when he started dreaming of playing football games. They came up to take care of the girls while we met Mark and LeeAnn Freeman at Bison Ranch in Overgaard for a quick weekend getaway. We ate some great food, relaxed by the fireplace, went to Church in Heber and enjoyed a beautiful drive in the forest during the first winter snowfall. Thanks for the memory!



We stayed in the lower right corner of the blue condo.
