Happy New Year and fresh entry to the well over due blog

Well a New Year has come. In many ways I am looking forward to this year, new adventures! I haven't been very good at updating this blog in the later part of 08, it just seem to take a back seat to everything else going on in our lives. We had a great Christmas as Turreal, Kim, Bailee and Covelli came home to Colorado. My mother was able to come from Nebraska and my brother Rod and his wife Sandy all came to the house...what a wonderful time we all had. I think that it was great to have the entire family together...as many of you know when they all grow up and start their own families, coming together isn't always the easiest!

Back row is my brother Rod, Joram, Turreal and Mark
Front row is: Sierra Erin, Kim,my mom Connie, Sister-in-law Sandy, Me
Little ones: Bailee, Covelli, McKahl and Henessy
We loved having the family togther and we hope that soon Turreal and Kim will live somewhere in Colorado and so the time together as a family will come more often.
Here are some pictures of Christmas...enjoy!

McKahl (Erin's daughter) Henessy (Joram's daughter) and Bailee (Turreal's daughter)

Covelli "the man" he is one of the happiest babies I know..except when placed in a high chair with NO food in front of him on that tray!

Erin and Sierra had great ideas for the three girls..but you know when you have an idea for one, you have to do it for the other two...Erin bought each one of the girls their own camera's (they really take pictures and have software to download on to the computer to crop, design, etc the pictures they take...how cute!)

Sierra thought it would be fun for the girls to have matching pj's for the christmas holidays...they loved them...and warm!
