Tis the Season to make fun of our Government

The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington, D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin. - Jay Leno

Here is the story about our trip to Disney Land.

As you can see (by the snow on the Castle) It had just snowed the day before. :)

Christmas was in the air.

With us we brought My sister Jessica, and my brother Chris.

Most of the rides we very fun.

Some were a little scary.

Some were a lot scary.

But we were all together and had fun.

The lines weren't all bad.

And of course we got to meet Mickey Mouse.

In the end it was a great Holiday Trip to Disney Land.

Glenn's New Job

Glenn has been offered his dream job. On Friday October 17th Glenn accepted the position of Lead Clinical Therapist for the Arivaca Boys Ranch in Tucson Arizona. He is so excited. The Arivaca Ranch is a working ranch with 250 head of cattle and 20 Arabian horses. The ranch is home to the therapeutic boarding school that helps young boys age 13 -17 years old. Glenn will be in charge of all the one-on-one counseling, the group therapy, and writing the program that will be the back bone of the program. This job is perfect for him and we recognize Heavenly Fathers hand in making conditions right for Glenn to get this job. We will not have to move to Tucson. Instead Glenn will work three days on and four days off. Once a month I will bring the girls to Tucson and spend the weekend with Glenn on the ranch. We are so excited and feel blessed to be able to accept this great opportunity.

School Pictures

Oh my! My girls are growing up so fast. I just got Laina and Lexies school pictures. Here they are.

Fun with Chris

Uncle Chris came over last weekend and helped me with some yard work. After he wanted to wash his car. The Girls were only too happy to help.



We had a lot of fun and the car did finally get clean in the end.

We love you Uncle Chris!

Haley found a ... Nurble?

Oh my, this is so cute. I love little children when they can't say something right.

Haley was so proud of her "nurble". She carried it around all afternoon.

Glenn in the Woods

Glenn went camping with the scouts on the rim at Bear Canyon Lake. He said that it was 41 degrees in the m.m.morning.

Baking with Kate

My good friend Kate came over and we baked bread for a camp out that she will be going to. She will sell the bread at the camp out in order to raise money for her Susan B Colman, walk for the cure that she is participating in. We made 6 loafs of bread and 60 pitas. Whew. Haley helped and it was a lot of fun.

This is just what she made at my house. All together she made over 40 loafs of bread, 20 jars of jam, and 12 jars of salsa. She also made home-made hummus and pitas. What a woman.

Good luck selling this weekend Kate!

I agree

Glenns' Mother sent this to me and I agree with it so much I thought that I had to post it on my blog.

Denise and Mo at the fireworks show.

Haley enjoying herself.

This is how we watched the firework show. This took me back to when I was a kid. I will never forget the year my mom let us climb on top of the van to get a good view of the fireworks. The only way Glenn would let us do it is if I held on to the girls the whole time. I did. It was great.

California

While we were in California, we also spent some much enjoyed time with my Grandparents. Here are some of the pictures.

Here is Grandpa Phil giving Haley a ride on the mower.
