A New Year.


I have been very bad at updating my blog. It's not that nothing happened, a lot has happened. We have been so very blessed to have a wonderful family. Six wonderful sons, five beautiful daughters-in-law, and the best eight grandchildren. How we love each of them.
Mark continues to drive truck and enjoys it. He really appreciates the chance to do it and especially after this week. Kelly, Mindy and family went to CA so Mark has to be milkman. He said it was so hard standing on the cement floors again. The truck looks really good right now.
A few things that happened since my last blog. Owen was blessed on Sept.4. Our family picture was taken that day. We had everyone there.
On Oct. 10, Brian and Sierra were sealed in the Logan Temple. What a special day.
We had Thanksgiving dinner here at our house. We had Jeff's family, Brian and Sierra, and Brad and his girlfriend, Cassey here. It was a good weekend.
Christmas Eve was spent at Dad and Mom Hurst house. Christmas morning, we went to Kelly's, then Tyler's houses for the opening of the gifts. We also went to see Dad and Mom Stoker. They were at Curtis' house so enjoyed visiting with them. Then on to our house to open our gifts with Brian and Sierra and Brad and Cassey. Then we went back down to the Hurst's home to visit with them and Darla and Glen.
The next day, we drove to Emmett to deliver Christmas to Jeff's family. We also got to celebrate Ethan's 5th birthday. We stayed till Monday morning.
New Year Eve, Wade and Lauren came to spend the weekend. Braxton and Addison also got to spend it with us. The next night, Tyler and Jolynne and Brad and Cassey came over and we ate pizza and played games.
It was a busy but wonderful holiday season. We were so happy to be able to spend time with each family member. We love each of them so much.
