Happy New Year Eve!

Took a little trip to Bryce Canyon to get some photos.

Image

It was such a beautiful day.

Image

Had a fabulous evening skating.  Well, I sat and watched and took pictures, but it sure looked fun.

Image

Image


Took a last couple of photos (Kass and Mick) before my camera died for the night.

Image

These girls had a blast, and Maren even danced with a boy.  :)

Blessing Titan Pollock

The cousins all had a great time swimming today.
I'm so glad they all get a long together.

Image

Then we all gathered together for the blessing of David and Taylors baby, Titan.
Clint gave the blessing while these fine men joined in.  What a great bunch.

Image

All of the siblings except Kenny were able to be there.

Christmas Day

Had a wonderful morning at Nick and Hayley's.  Maren couldn't put their little dog down.
Clint and Amy came over as well to open presents.

Image

They just never want to cooperate with picture taking.

Image

Highlight of my day!  Skyping with my Son, Elder Pollock.

Image

No matter where we are in the country, I'm thankful for the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  For volunteering to come to earth and suffer, bleed, and die so we can return to live with our Heavenly Father again.

Christmas Eve

Traditional visit with Santa at the Fire station in Tropic.

Image

Image

Megan put on a wonderful dinner at her house.  She hosted a lot of people.

Image

Then we headed over to Grandpas for our traditional reading of Luke 2 and Twas the Night before Christmas.  The kids were fantastic so not to bother Grandpa too much.

Cookies for Sammy

Today we decided to decorate cookies for our missionary brother.  I loved how Jackson wrote Bro on every cookie he made.  They all did a great job and we hope Elder Pollock likes his homemade cookies.

Image

We were glad Randon was there to help out as well.  
Thanks kids!

Girls Basketball

It was fun watching these girls play basketball this season.  
This was Maren's first year playing.  It took her a game or two before she knew exactly how to play, but once she got it.  She got it.

Image

Image

8th Grade basketball was fun to watch as well.  Aliza was a lot more confident out there this year.  

Image

Image

She shot way more this year.

Image

Image

They had a great year this year.  Hope she continues in high school.

Image

This is my favorite time of year for decorating my home.

Image

Thanks kids for helping out.

John Preator's Blessing

We loved going down to Burlington, WY for the youngest cousin, John's blessing.
He is so cute.  So, after four girls, Tony and Dana finally get their boy.

Thanksgiving

It was just Kenny and Jodi and our family for Thanksgiving this year, so we decided to spend some time in the early afternoon to help serve at the community thanksgiving dinner with the missionaries.  They were asked not to wear their white shirts and ties because it was supposed to be non-denominational.  The kids enjoyed helping out.

Image

Sam and Kenny helped out in the cooking part.

Image

Jackson helped with cleaning.

Image

We came home to a good looking turkey.

Image

The two of us getting things ready to eat.

Thankful Tree

We made these in Activity Days tonight.  I thought this was such a good idea.  The girls painted their pots then wrote some things they were thankful for on leaves to tie onto their branch tree.

Football time

We got to watch Randon play the championship game in Little Guy Football.  They lost, which was sad, but Randon played very well.

Walk the Walk, Talk the Talk

I got to walk with Maren and her friends around Laurel, about three miles, for awareness about being strong with no drugs.  I bumped into Aliza and her friend Megan, and Karissa and Randon.  It was a good morning.

Halloween

Maren has been heavily into the Rominov family from Russia.  They were all killed in the early 1900's. Disney made the movie from it... Anastasia, but her favorite sister is Maria.  She is a cutie.  We did the usual trunk or treat at the church, then Amy and I took the kids around a neighborhood for even more.
It was weird having two wards there that night, even more weird being in a different ward.
