Michael, Jessica and Dad

Erica, Dad, Vicki and Grandma's baby boy Kash.

My sister decided that she wanted to come out for the Home Show again this year. We have done this for two years, and we wanted to do it again. We have such a great time being able to spend sister time together since she lives so far away. (in Colorado) This year our dad was in the states for Mexico for some medical check ups and we both did some talking and convinced him that it would be fun for him to join us and spend some time with his girls since we don't get to see him that often. He was able to make it work and came on Friday. We enjoyed the home show with him and dinners and just being able to spend time with him and catch up with him. He was also able to meet Michael's wife, Jessica for the first time and also see his great grandsons for the first time. we were able to get some great pictures. He was also able to spend some great family time with two of my boys and their family's.

My Dad and Sister came for a visit!

My Dad Gale and my sister Vicki

Dad is sitting in my TV room and we have a plug in heater and he has is coat, hat and a blanket on and he is still cold. I guess he is use to the warm weather in Mexico. Sorry dad.

My dad with Kody and his youngest son Kash who is 4 months old.

This was so funny, Vicki was trying to talk to her husband Doug on Skype, and I guess my computer was acting funny and he was having a hard time understanding her. She would have to repeat herself several times with the help of Michael.

Today my baby would have been 18 years old. It's hard to believe that it has been 5 years since he has been gone. I think back and realize how blessed that we were to have him for as long as we did. We all learned so much from him. What a great spirit to have around. Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday and then other days it seems like it has been 5 years. I am so grateful to all of Jeffrey's friends for letting me still be apart of all there lives. I just Wonder as do all of his brothers what he would have looked like, how tall he would have been, what would his personality be like, would he still like to play Nintendo or would he like the wii like his dad?. Would he still play an instrument in band like his brother Kody, would he be a great uncle like his brothers Mike and Travis, would he want to serve a mission, would he go to collage, would he still ware glasses or would he want contacts? So many unanswered questions that we all have and we will have to wait to have answers to.

Mom loves you so much Jeffrey and boy do I miss you!

The boys getting ready to head to West Mountain!

Travis coming through the trees. It is so pretty up here.

Snowmobiling

After the services for Jack, Kody, Chase, and I went up to the house in Donnelly and stayed until Sunday. The boys went out on Saturday and enjoyed the snow. We missed you Michael. Wish you could have come with us.

Jack Charters

This past weekend we said goodbye to a friend and my husbands business partner. Mr. Jack Charters. We have known Jack and his family for around 15 years and Larry has worked for him here in St. George and then about 5 years ago Jack offered him a chance of a lifetime. Larry went to Donnelly Idaho and started DreamWorks of Idaho, and started building houses in a new sub-division at the base of Tamarack Mountain, which is a new Ski resort that the state of Idaho opened. It is such a beautiful place. The sub-division is The Meadows at West Mountain. Larry had a great opportunity to learn the trades of the business. He has done such a great job and I am so proud of him. They have built over 200 houses six 8-plexus.
Jack was a great friend to Larry and offered him so many wonderful opportunities and we are so very Grateful to him for that. We were able to do so many things over the past 4 years, many wonderful vacations, great Christmas's, and wonderful family time!
Thank you Jack!
We love you and will miss you!
