Ryan Otis, My nephew, entered the MTC on the 7th of January. He is on his way to the Everette, Washington mission to serve two years. We are so proud of this decision and are excited for him. He's a great kid...I mean man.
By the way, he's the one hugging his mom.
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!
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.
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.
Kiana had her first date and her first formal dance Oct. 18th. Her date...Zack Northrup. The group...Kjirsten & Eric, Abby & Casey.
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!
I had to make sure that I posted more photos of our trip since it was a "monumental trip" for us.:)
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 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! :)
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! :)
