Season Of Joy
Season's come and season's go,
December is a time that you never feel low.
This holiday season is a joyous gift,
For you, for me, it helps our spirit lift.
No crying is heard from land to land,
But sounds of laughter, people hand in hand.
As we think of him we join as one,
We praise him as we sing songs of fun.
What a joyful night he came to earth,
To save us all with the start of his birth.
He knew the reason he came to save,
No regets, no sorrow, but only his love he gave.
So let us remember the reason why,
That he was sent to save, to live and die.
Oh how our hearts inside should swell,
For he is the greatest gift to make all things well.

The Scoring Queen
Tamara just finished her first season of soccer and did an awesome job.
On the last game she scored 2 goals, making a total of 3 in all.
She definately improved a TON from the first practice to the last game.
We are so proud of her, she loves doing all the things that Caleb did- she
says it helps her to feel closer to him (notice the spiderman ball.) =)

Pumpkin Patch
The Pumpkin Patch Outing of the year was with the girls Homeschooling School. It was the perfect day.
They go on weekly field trips with other homeschoolers, and get to ride the big yellow bus to get to these places.
We have the coolest group ever. I love these girls!! They are so fun to be with. I am so glad that they let me be their chaperon.

General Conference- The Wonderful Weekend of Peace
Last weekend Oct 1st through the 2nd was the Wonderful General Conference for our Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. We got to listen to the Prophet, Thomas S. Monson, and the 12 Apostles. This is always such a highlight for our family. We LOVE General Conference!! Our Caleb would always make a count down paper chain. We love just being together as a family during this time. There is nothing better then hearing the words of God through his mouth pieces on earth; to bring us words of comfort and peace, in these days of much trial and tribulation.
Here are our kids listening this Fall 2011 General Conference.
Here are our kids listening to General Conference in April 2009.
So you may ask "What has your prophet told you lately?" The answer would be MANY things. But one of the main things he said, "Communication with our Father in Heaven—including our prayers to Him and His inspiration to us—is necessary in order for us to weather the storms and trials of life."
Oh how we love the gospel of Jesus Christ, to know that he lived and died for us, so that we too may live again. And that because of the priesthood power being restored to this earth in these latter days we can be blessed and sealed to our families for not only time on earth, but for ALL eternity!!

Rain Trials Brings Rainbow Blessings
Here Liahona and I are, playing and splashing out in one of the rain storms last month. It was fun being out in the rain, something we did often in Nebraska because the water was actually pretty warm- unlike here.... brrrrrr! We jumped on the trampoline too. And almost after the rain stopped this rainbow popped out of no where directly over our house. Most people like rainbows, but I do NOT. It is just another one of those 2nd coming signs that we want GONE. So whenever we see rainbows, we yell, "Go away you dumb rainbow, we don't like you." But truly we all have trials that feels like the rain will just never let up, and it gets gloomy and depressing at times. That's when it is SO important to remember that the rainbow ALWAYS follows- making everything right and much more beautiful! We are GREATLY looking forward for that day, when Christ shall come, bringing healing in his wings, making all to be made right!!

The Kite Festival
In August as a family we went to the Kite Festival at Long Beach in Washington. It was a place we went as a family with Caleb, when we lived in Oregon. It was emotionally difficult to be there again, for it brought many memories flooding to my heart and mind. Especially of the memory how Caleb did NOT like all the BIG kites. They sacred him, cuz he thought that they were going to fall on him. Montey was scared at first of all the kites too, and strangely to say it made me happy . We even camped at the same campground in the same campsite. It was a bitter sweet to go back. We have decided that this will be part of our families annual angel anniversary celebration for our Caleb. I suppose to just give our family more ways to always remember our sweet buddy boy.

Tamara the Soccer Queen
Here is our Tammie. She was seriously born to play soccer. This was at her first game and she just got in there and ran everywhere to get the ball. However, if her mom doesn't pike it down she will be escorted off the fields. Her mom got overly aggressive with all her hooting and hollering that Tammie got quite embarressed. Her mom even tried to go out on the field to tie her daughters shoe laces. Hmmm... does this mom have issues or what?? She has many flaws especially when it comes to sports. You never want to sit in a room with her as she watches her favorite team sports, because your ears will never work again!!
(Tamara I love you, I promise to pike it down completely so that you are not embarressed by me, your mother. Nor with sending out the wrong vibes because we are Christian people.)
