NOEL

Noel means in Hebrew: to bring forth new birth. In English it is another word for Christmas. Christmas for me is a time renew my faith in Christ. I love to set up all my nativities and adorn my living room with the remembrance of what to remember ALL year. I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a renewal of Faith. I am blessed to have such a wonderful family. Looking forward to achieve new goals this coming year. I will for sure love on these kids.....'cause look how fast they are growing! Aren't they handsome! Especially the one with less hair! Cute, huh!

Katie is in a singing group called the "Whole Notes". It is instructed by a very talented, Brook Black, who teaches these children the joy of music~ Katlyn is lucky to have such an experience!

We don't change our family motto. Every year it is this:

WE CAN DO HARD THINGS!

Happy 2010!

November.....Thankful rocks.

November 2009

A Month to be Thankful.

My parents , along with Laura and Rob and little Harrison came for Thanksgiving. My folks always try to make a trip to our home, once a year. That is so important. We look forward to them visiting our stomping grounds.

We gathered the morning of Thanksgiving and wrote our feelings of thankfulness on rocks. Solid. Never changing. We read them around the table of food. We could tell whom had written upon them. We are mostly thankful for this year:

1. Family

2. The Savior and His gospel on this earth.

3. Parents

4. Doctors and Medicine that can fix sick people.

5. Sewing machines: Mom, Laura and I threw together some nice bed covers for the boys beds. Winter is here. More warmth is needed! I am keeping these rocks.......

The boys got on top of the roof to adorn our home with the annual Christmas lights!

My sweet nephew, Harrison. He is so calm and wonderful.The table before the food....

The head guests of our feast!

Yummy food, good movies, two quilts made, craft store ambushed by three Hallen women and plenty of Memories.
