Family Home Evening with the Crowther's

Brandi and Sam had a Christmas party so Jody was watching Stockton and Preston. We went to Thanksgiving Point to look at the lights and feed the rain deer.

Boys!

I went outside Saturday to watch Stockton ride his sleigh. Instead of going down the hill. He wanted to go off the rocks on to our driveway. I told him you can't sleigh ride on cement. But being a boy he had to try and he said it was a lot of fun!

Who just turned four?

Preston wanted a Rudolf the Red Nose Rain Deer cake. He brought me a picture from a coloring book so that became his cake. His cousins came to the house and add pizza. We opened up presents, graped some food to donate to the the food back and went and looked at Christmas lights. We came back to the house and opened up presents for Preston! Happy Birthday Preston!

Gavins School Program

I got to go to Gavins School and listen to their School Program. The first grade put on the program. Wow there were a lot of first graders. Gavin was in the front row but was covered up by the audience so we couldn't see him very well. I did take a good picture after the program. I think he did an awesome job

Family Home Evening with the Naults

We got to spend Family Home Evening with the Naults last night. We went to Temple Square and looked at the lights. It was so fun watching the kids especially Cameron he thought he was so big being able to walk around by himself. We went for Hot Chocolate afterwards

Someone has a Birthday coming up

Preston wants a Rudolf the Red Nose Rain deer cake. We celebrating his birthday this Friday. He found a picture in a coloring book and brought it to me and asked me to make a cake from the picture. Happy Birthday Preston!

Trying to get the perfect Christmas Picture

Every year we go through it. Trying to get the perfecgt Christmas Picture for my Christmas Cards. I took 68 picturez and that was just my camera. Aleisa, Jody, Brandi, and Gabe were all taking pictures. These are ones that won't be the picture for the Christmas card.

I took the oldest Grand Kids to see A Christmas Carol

I had so much fun taking my three oldest grandchildren to see A Christmas Carol at the Hale Theator. Gavin got scared but I think they all liked it. They wanted to go to I Hop afterwards.

I finshed Jody hat and scarf

Think the hat is a little big. I will have to adjust it.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a little quit Jody and her family was the only ones we had for dinner. Brandi came over for pie, Daison didn't show up the whole weekend.

Fun Weekend with the Grand kids

My sister came out with her two grandchildren. We took our grandkids to the movies "Bolt" out to lunch and Bowling. We than celebrated Brandi's birthday that night.

Happy Birthday Brandi

It was Brandi's birthday so another celebration. Our big celebration for her is this weekend we are going to the Gateway eating at the Melting Pot and going to Twilight. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I finished Brandi's Afghan!

GrandParents Day

I had the opportunity to go to school with Stockton. He is such a good kid. I really enjoyed spending time with him. He is a good little reader. I missed an opportunity with Adyson she had a day I could go and I had to miss it because of work. Hope I get a second chance

Visiting Gabe's family

After the ceremony we went to Smity's to have dinner. I enjoyed visiting with Doris i know if we lived closer we would be the best of friends we have so much in common.

Visiting with more of Gabe's family

We (John, Doris Jody Mckenzie and Skyler) meet at the care center with Alan and his girl firend, Ron, Amy and Kyle, Gil. Evelyn arrived later with her husband. We then went to the cenetary and had a small service for Rollie and barried his ashes at Grandpa Naults grave side. i thought it was thoughtful for Doris to do all of this.

Visiting family

The first day we visited with Doris in the morning and then went and visted Gabes Mom. She has been in a care center for about 11 years. She had a stoke and left her partially paralized. She doesn't recognize us. She doesn't hear and see to well. It was very sad to see. She cries a lot, and I can't blame her. It would be very hard to live that way. She use to like scarfs so when I was in Victoria Canada this summer I bought a scarf at the Empress Hotel. I know when she younger she would have enjoyed having such a nice scarf. I thought maybe somewhere in her mind she would for only a min appreciate the times she had nice scarfs in the past and enjoy this for a second. I wrapped it around her neck you can see in the picture.

After we visited with Grandma we went into Winnipeg and made our usual trip to the Roots store to bring home sweet shirts for the grandkids. Gabe was great because the one we usually go to has moved. We were told it was some where acoss town but when we got there we found no store. We went to another one several miles away and Gabe waited in the car with Skyler and Mckenzie while we shopped for the perfect sweat shirt for each grandchild.

I really enjoyed my time visiting with Doris. The kids were so good. I love to watch Jody with her kids you can tell every waking second she is consumed with her kids and what is best for them.

I wished the rest of my family could have came with us.

A trip to Canada

We went for a short trip to Canada to visit Gabe's family. Jody and her kids went with us. Skyler and Mckenzie were great little travelers. We left the house at 5:30 and didn't get to Doris house until around 5:30 the evening
