This holiday season has been a tough one for our family. We miss Ryan so very much and our hearts are empty without him but we are also very blessed and have so much to be thankful for! I love and cherish my family and the many memories we have made and will continue to make in the coming years. As Christmas draws near, I am trying to remember the true meaning and spirit of the season and be thankful for all the blessing I have in my life. Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season....

Happy Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving dinner in Beaver Dam, AZ at Shandee & Ricky's new house. They have a beautiful new home and we are so happy for them. We met Ricky's family and they were all so nice. We had a great dinner and lots of fun visiting and catching up with each other. It was especially nice to be together with the Bowler family this year. Last Thanksgiving, Marc was called to SLC for a kidney transplant. Unfortunately, the kidney failed during the surgery and Marc went through 13 hours of surgery for nothing. We are so thankful he is with us and doing well. We will keep asking in our prayers for him a new kidney that works!

Four Wheelin....

We love to take the four wheelers out in the mountains and explore! A few weeks ago, the weather was so nice that we met Matt & Keely down near Gunlock and rode out the the Naming Caves. There is the neatest cave that you have to climb up into and it has really cool petroglyphs of corn gods, etc. There are lots of indian writings all over and we took a picnic lunch and made a day of it. We love spending time with our boys and grandkids and the memories we make will be cherished forever! We are so thankful for our family.
