Christmas Card Photo

This year I really wanted to take a picture with the boys in the snow for our Christmas Cards. The weather was not cooperating, and I wanted to cross it off my list, so I took the kids over to the Holmes' and took some pictures. I got them in the mail in Saturday, and boy am I glad it is done. Of course, Monday we got a huge snow storm, but I am still glad I am done.

Wilson's First Letters

This morning during breakfast, Wilson was drawing as usual. He said to Ken, "Dad look I wrote it", Ken looked and he had written BYU. In the past he has written Y's, but never has he put it all together. I am not a fan of what he wrote, but I am a huge fan that he did it! I have known for awhile that I needed to starting teaching him to write, I wonder what he would be writting if I would spend some time with him working on it.....

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin Passes Away

Elder Wirthlin passed away last night. What a sweet man he was. I am so grateful for his talk in October's General Conference, Come What May, and Love It. That talk made such an impression in my mind. I have read it numerous times, and I can't even recall the amount of times I have thought about the wonderful stories he told.
