Christmas is in a few days. It looks like everyone will be coming home for Christmas this year. That will be so awesome!!! YAY. I am finally understanding how special it is when you can get ALL your family together. Emma was hoping for a white Christmas but I have been praying for good weather so Hillary and Tyler could travel to Snowflake without any storms to hinder their way. Merry Christmas to all our family and friends.

Our Family is Growing

Our Family Is Growing.

Hillary had a sweet little boy on Oct. 28th. He wasn't really that little, 8 lbs 3 oz. That was a tummy full for petite little Hill. I got to stay with them for the first 2 weeks, that was really fun. Hartley's little Evve isn't so little any more, she is 3 months old and growing fast. Emma wants to add to the family too, she is expecting a baby, due in July. Being a grandparent is so much fun. We are so thrilled to add all these new little ones to our family. Congratulations Girls.

baby news and updates

Family Update:

Lane is starting a new project next week, building a bank in Show Low. Hartley and her girls are doing great. Evve is growing so fast, I'm glad I get to see her so often. Halle seems like such a big girl now that she has a little sister. Jason is super busy with lots of fireplace installs. Hillary is due to have her little guy next Wednesday. I am going to fly to Henderson and stay with them for a couple of weeks. We are all so excited. I bet he is going to be a cutie! Emma and Brennik just celebrated their 1 year anniversary. They went to Las Vegas and stopped by to see Hill and Tyler. I'm sure we will be adding baby pictures soon.

Fall

Fall is here. We had our first freeze a few nights ago, which means our gardening days are over for awhile. We had a huge garden this year, it produced way too much, we were able to share with all of our neighbors and friends and anyone that was willing to take some of it off our hands. I have a great neighbor that came over and taught me how to can (bottle) pickles. Hartley and I also learned how to can chicken. We have this awesome lady in our ward that lets us know about great deals so we are having fun learning how to preserve and store food. My mom came to visit after Evve was born and she has been teaching me how to quilt. I am a little behind on learning all those basics but I am catching up fast.
Brief Family update:
Hartley and new baby Evve are doing great. She is growing so fast. Halle seems to be adjusting to being a big sister, whenever I take her shopping she wants to buy stuff (toys) for Evve too. Jason is still working and seems to enjoy it, which is great.
Hillary and Tyler are anxiously waiting for their little guy to arrive, just a few more weeks. Hillary is just so cute with her little baby-bump.
Emma and Brennik are about to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. wow. Brennik recently got a promotion and he will have more Saturdays free to come visit his awesome in-laws.
Guess that's it for now.
Have a great Fall.

Happy Summer Everyone.
Just a short update:
Hartley is due to have girl #2 anyday. Jason is enjoying his job and Halle is about to start preschool. Hillary and baby boy #1 are doing great, due Nov. 3rd. Tyler is doing well at his job. Emma is enjoying married life and Brennik is busy with work and school. Lane is working again, at least for a short time. They have him doing a job in Flagstaff. I am keeping things going at home, mainly our HUGE garden. People are beginninjg to avoid me, afraid I will give them some zucchini, I guess. Overall everyone is doing fine.
