Giving is Living!

I think this should be my new motto for 2010! I am so thankful today that my sister recreated my blog site yesterday for me! I am also thankful for my many friends, family and the people that God puts in my path at just the right moments. I am so very thankful that I know my Grandparents are in heaven! My prayer today is that those of you who don't know Jesus will ask him to come into your heart today and save your soul! He is the way the truth and life! No one can come to the Father except by Him! I love you all, Happy Thanksgiving!

Good Bye Grandma Nancy

This beautiful little Gramma of ours went to be with the Lord yesterday. I am so sad for me today but I am rejoicing with God that one of his daughters went home to be with Him yesterday! She was a truly amazing woman. This beautiful lady never said an unkind word about anybody! I know that is hard to believe but that is how she lived her life. She had an unwavering strength about her in everything that she faced. She was a mother of 3 boys and a grandmother to 4 girls and one boy. Then much to her delight she was the great grandmother to 8 boys and 4 girls. She was just the best. I will miss her so much but I am very happy today that she is back with my Grandpa and all her sisters and parents that died before her. Love and miss you Grandma Nanny!

Christmas Tree Decorating & a date!

We broke down and got a fake Christmas Tree this year! We are heading to Portland the day after Christmas to see Bill's brother and sister-in-law so we figured a fake tree would be best! I have to admit, it sure was easy and it looks nice. We decided on a white, silver, and gold theme. Will and I spent about an hour decorating. On another note, Drew had his first lunch date with Carla today! Jen and I took them to Pizza Hut and it was so fun! They talked and played and Carla gave him a high five and nucks! We can't wait to get together again! Thankful today for all the many blessings we have been given! Praise the Lord!

Braces

Here is Dano right after they put the braces on! We had this done two days after we got back from Alaska.

Cute huh! He has blue and orange bands, the Chicago Bears colors! Go Bears!

ALASKA!!!!

This is the historic part of Ketchikan. We stayed at the Gilmore Hotel which is the 3rd building to the right in this picture. The tall mountain in the back is called Deer Mountain. That is the only snow we saw.

This our cute littel nephew Wylie! He is 5 months old in this picture. He is such a smiley baby!

And this is Wyatt! He is 1 and 1/2 and is super cute! He really likes to play outside!

This is a picture of Bill and I standing on the pier in the evening. It was so beautiful!

This is a picture of Bill thumbing an eagle butt! LOL!!!
