Winter Wonderland

We woke up yesterday morning to a big snowstorm with snow piling on the ground. The kids had fun playing out in the snow and making a snow fort. I love the first snowstorm and after christmas I am ready for it to go away and move on to spring weather.

A Decade of Natalie

Natalie just celebrated her 10th birthday last Friday (October 19). It is hard to believe that she is already 10 years old! She is growing up so fast. We enjoy Natalie and her fun personality and we are glad she is a part of our family. It was fun to go back and look at pictures taken over the years. These are some fun pictures of Natalie.

Finnegans

With General Conference comes a fun family tradition that Steven and Elaine have done for years. I remember when Gregg and I were dating and he said I would like to invite you to come to "Finnegans." I have loved this tradition ever since. Here are some fun pictures of Finnegans (which was just yesterday).

CASTLES IN THE CLOUDS
by: Patricia Osborn Orton
All you need to build

castles in the sky

Are fluffy white clouds

And a fanciful eye.

You can build rooms,

And towers to,

Add doors and windows

By ones and twos.

Now imagine the tower

With a Princess inside

All you really need is

A fanciful eye.
