THANKSGIVING                                           

for Thanksgiving, we invited other families that didn't have family here to celebrate with us.

We also invited both the elders and the sister missionaries.  It was a great day. When people walked in, I had them take some paper leaves and write on them what they are thankful for, then we taped them to the wall in the living room.(see picture at left) I did a turkey and a ham, then all the others brought stuff to go with it.  We had such a great time together playing games, eating, visiting and laughing a lot.  We are so blessed to have so many great people in our lives!  Later that evening, the kids were all on the trampoline when the missionaries decided to join, then our friend Rob got in on the act.  The kids all stood around going "oooh, ahhh!"  as Rob and the missionaries did flips and tricks on the trampoline.  It reminding of the way everyone would stand around while people would break dance and try to out do each other!!!!! ( hope you can picture that in your mind!)

I feel so thankful to have my family who loves me.  I am grateful for my Savior who loves me and has given me the gospel to live buy.  I am a truly blessed person.  Its nice to be reminded to be grateful even now when its months after Thanksgiving

Still alive and kickin

Yes,  I am still around !  I knew I wouldn't be very good at keep up with post. (don't really like writing) So I will begin with what's happening now, and then add in a post about the past every once in a while.  The kids are on spring break for this week and then next.  This week they have been having friends over, then next week we will be doing a "staycation"  you know doing vacation stuff around home.  Paul has next week off, but he has a pretty big list of things that needs to be done, so he won't feel like it time off!

The kids are happy for the break, when they get back to school it will time to get ready for the big tests they all take.  

PTA is keeping me busy.  We have a conference in april and a school activity in the beginning of May.  The boys have camp outs in April.  Plus they stay busy with other scout stuff.

We all got the yucky bug of what ever has been going around and Paul got Bronchitis. We all seem to be healthy now (knock on wood!)

I will try to be more regular at keeping up to date and I have some pictures to post to stay tuned for more Jester news.
