Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....just a little late ;)

Tanner and Spencer

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! I know it is late and this poor blog has been neglected. I did get some Christmas cards out but definitely not as many as I know I should have. Please know that if you did not get one, we love you. It is my fault. I am struggling to balance my time. I hope to get better this year.

We feel blessed and feel like we have had a wonderful year. We are so thankful for the gospel and for the birth of our Savior. We love Him. We love knowing that families can be together forever. This is our greatest desire. We love knowing that He lives. We pray that we can do our part in building up the kingdom of God.

We feel so blessed to have the Draper Temple in our stake. We have had the opportunity to watch it grow from the ground up. It has been a joy to watch it be built step by step. I had the wonderful opportunity of a private tour last week. It is absolutely beautiful inside. We look forward to our family taking a tour of it together.


We have had the opportunity of Josh living with us part of the year too. The boys have loved it. Uncle Josh often takes the time to go out and play basketball with them or watch Sponge Bob and even put together Star Wars Legos.


For the holiday season this year my parents came and spent a couple of weeks up in Utah. It is always great to have them here. We were worried Christmas dinner would be canceled to due a major snow storm. But it let up just in time for everyone to get to our home. It started up again just as everyone left.
I must mention our Ute football team!! Well done! Well done!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. Sorry I am so late. We love you all.
