A Good Family Memory Christmas 2011

We had a great time past weekend one that we will all remember for a long time to come. Dinner over looking the Temple and then walking around with freezing tempertures to see the lights and then some wonderful hot chocolate up at Ralph and Teresa Christensens home. We had treats to munch on and played the most amazing game of Cops and Mafia. I learned that Jayme can hold her own in any game and Jason is still a very fine citizen after 4 games. Emily who would of thought you could belong to the Mafia. Nanna, we know its hard to kill you ! Colton doesn't make a good cop and Bryan is still yet a mystery. Bump pa is still trying to figure out the game and Jessica, Jenna, and Jordan are so darn cute you never know what to think when they tell you something. I think they can talk their way out of anything (I believe anything they tell me) We had lots of fun. It was a great time. I hated to say goodbye so fast. Thanks for all your efforts to be there. And a huge thanks to Ralph and Teresa for everything.

Jenna Getting Married

Just a few of the many pictures that were taken of Jenna and Colton. The wedding was very nice at the Logan Utah Temple and then up here for a reception the next day. I thought it all was very nice. We just returned yesterday from St. George where another open House was given in their honor down there where Colton is from. We got to meet many wonderful people, both friends and family of the Cox family. Jenna looked absolutely beautiful and her sisters made sure that everything was perfect. Tammi did a wonderful job putting the final touches on the reception up here. She had a great friend do the recpetion up here, which took a lot of stress off of her. Jessica, of course did the hair ( who else would Jenna have trusted?)

Over 1500 miles were logged in driving to everywhere we've been and I think we've all hung in there quite well. There is no doubt that the Lord has provided yet one more miracle for me to be here for this wedding.

I'm so proud of you Jenna. WE love you and excited to have Colton as part of the family.

On my drive home yesterday as the girls were watching movie in the back I couldn't help be grateful for this marvelous blessing. WE are now down to two girls left at home and by Spring Jordan will be graduating and moving to Logan ----we're not looking forward to that.

Some Recent Photos

I thought this picture was a good one of all the kids so I thought I would put it on. Tammi's dad is centered he's 92 and doing well. Kayson with his tie is very cute. Everyone is home which is something we all enjoy. In the picture right below is me and the girls with our fireworks shirts on. Notice their smiles ...you guessed it we were just starting out, trust me after 10 days smiles were replaced with red eyes and lost smiles. I love my girls hugging on me.

Now that the fireworks are over maybe I can get a few blogs posted so keep watching.
