Kyle's Christmas concert

Thanksgiving 2008

Happy Happy Birthday Andrew !!!

Our fun filled thanksgiving started with a visit from Jennifer. Who lives in the sunny warm state of Florida. We had the whole family over so we could spend time together and enjoy some Great food!! Elizabeth got to meet her extended family for the first time. She took a liking to her second cousin Jennifer. The best thing about the holidays is being with family. God has blessed us richly. We have much to be thankful for.

Vacation Out West

Rich and I visited Arizona and Nevada October 12-19. We rented a car and drove to the Grand Canyon, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, and the Hoover Dam. God's Creations are AMAZING. We really loved seeing the rock formations, colors, canyons, and hiking. Our favorite spot was the Valley of Fire (it was even better than the Grand Canyon, mostly because we got to play in it). Check out the picture slideshow to see the pictures from our trip!
