MERRY CHRISTMAS!

There are so many things that our family is so very blessed. We have been through alot this year and are so grateful for so many things. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

HALLOWEEN FUN!

We had a lot of fun helping the kids get dressed up for Halloween. Sierra, Mandy, Jared, & Kara trick-or-treated around the neighborhood then we hit the church trunk-or-treat. They each came home with a sick amount of candy. Kiana went trunk-or-treating and hit a party afterwards.

Winthrop, WA outing

We took a sunday drive to Winthrop. Tim and I both camped there as kids(not together). It was alot of fun to share memories with the family.
We've been having a great time spending time with Holton. We'll be very sad when he decides to go back to Utah. Hopefully that won't happen too soon. Mama Jo and Papa De will especially miss him. He's been staying with them for the past 4 weeks.

HOMECOMING DANCE!

Kiana had her first date and her first formal dance Oct. 18th. Her date...Zack Northrup. The group...Kjirsten & Eric, Abby & Casey.

-Our Family Hike-

The kids, Mama Jo, Papa De, Tim, and I went for a hike. It was so nice to see the beautiful scenery and enjoy eachothers company. We had alot of fun. To end the hike, Jared and Papa De decided to eat an ant together. GROSS!

Salt Lake City trip photos

I had to make sure that I posted more photos of our trip since it was a "monumental trip" for us.:)

August wedding

Nikki and Chris were married in the SLC temple on August 8th, 2008. One of the busiest days in temple history. Everything went great and on schedule. Nikki made a beautiful bride. We are so proud of them. Best of wishes you two!
As far as the 2,000 miles we drove in 6 days? A memory that will be forever in our memories. Our family had a great time visiting with old friends and reaquainting ourselves with them. We have met some of the greatest people on this trip.

THANK YOU!

Kiana's Sweet Sixteen!

Kiana had her 16th birthday. She looks forward to getting her driver's license as soon as she gets her drive time in. Dates? We'll see! :)

April showers bring wedding flowers!

Sydney Adams is now Sydney Poulton. Tyson and Sydney were married April 18th in the Rexburg Temple. Fantastic reunion with the Hedding and Adams' family. Great fun, great memories! :)

Summer Crazy Fun

The Hedding home has been popping ever since school ended on June 18th. July 4th we went to see a new addition to the Hedding family. Nicole Dennea Hedding was born May 9th. The cutest baby ever (except for ours of course, haha).

4th of July

We spent the 4th at G-gma's house in Coupeville so we could go to the parade in Oak Harbor. We had a great time. After the parade we zoomed back to Mom and Dad's house in Peshastin to enjoy a family barbeque with them as well as Aunt Bonnie & Uncle Tink, 2nd cousins Randy & Dinky (Loretta). Fireworks at Walla Walla Park afterwards.

EFY-Forrest Grove, Oregon

The best experience ever for Kiana and Devon. They left for Uncle T.C.'s house on July 6th. July 7th they headed out for Oregon. Devon's friend Sean from Cheney and Cousin Crystal went also. Kiana roomed with Crystal for some great bonding time. Their friendships changed and they looked back to ponder on how they had an unhealthy relationship when they were little. lol They love eachother and will stay in close contact. Devon roomed with a boy from Oregon. He would play the guitar and put Devon to sleep. He enjoyed his friendship.

Scout Camp 2008

Devon returned from EFY July 12th at around 6 pm to turn around and pack for Scout Camp. He left with duffle bag in hand at 4:40 am monday the 14th. He returned home on the 19th of July exhausted. Sleep is all that was on his mind. I woke him up for church, he ate breakfast, I looked high and low for him to find him in bed again.
Scout Camp, at Camp Fife,was as he says...interesting. Maybe we'll get more out of him the more sleep he gets.

Otis Missionaries

We have two nephews serving their LDS missions. Matt is in Russia and Jason in LA. Matt is the Branch President and Jason is the District Leader. They are both doing a great job serving.
