Dear Family,
I just want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Since we are scattered for this Thanksgiving, I want you to know that I love you all. I am so blessed with my family. And to those of you who just peek in, you are loved too. God made and gave us this beautiful world and family and friends. I am thankful for loving parents who gave me life and now to my family who I am fortunate enough to have around often. Thank you for all you do and the good things you represent.
MOM loves you.

It's been a crazy month finding out about Nancy's cancer and dealing with it. I know it's really hard for her, and it's affected me and my friends too.

We took a couple of pictures on Sunday when our husbands helped Tom with giving Nancy a blessing. She started her chemo on Monday. We should have done this a long time ago.

I had to put in this picture of my sweet little girls reading and sitting together.

And . . how could I forget my pumpkins heads!

We've had some fun with the family and friends the last little while.

Here we went camping and 4 wheelin' with our friends. We stayed in Richfield and took 30 to 40 miles trips each day. It was beautiful weather and the company was the best. (We missed Cyndy and Duane).

Here are Tyler and Christine and Kaja relaxing and having a great time.

Good form, huh? Look at the 'description' of that arm!

"Hangin' around!"

Good form?

Fun in the leaves! What a great autumn we've had.

David's dad celebrated 50 years in busines. Congratulations Grandpa.

We had a great couple of days of Halloween costumes.
Here are my favorites.
Leslie always likes to dress up and she makes sure we all party!

Kaja was a princess (not far from the mark!). But, with a little extra - Jax's bat hat.

Kylee loves dressing up, so Halloween is her best time of the year.

What a sweet BAT. Almost wish he would bite me!

Grandma and Grandpa are always such good sports to dress up. The rest of the adults didn't!!

HIP HOP! Isn't this the cutest bunny you've ever seen! She hops right into our hearts!

I had am emotional last couple of days. But, it was mostly good. It just brought many sweet memories of two people I miss very much.

This last Saturday, the 20th, was my aunt Mary Etta's 80th birthday. It was also my mother-in-law's birthday and my granddaughter Jaycelyn's first birthday. My cousins Shauna and John invited me and the girls to dinner to celebrate. It was so good to see them all. It was a bit hard for me though to see Uncle Arnold and Aunt Betty and Aunt Mary Etta without dad. But I think he would be happy I was there to represent him.

AND . . I've already mentioned this, but they finally got their deer! We are pretty excited (even if we do have to have deer meat for the next several months.)

And then, yesterday would have been my mom's 82nd birthday. It was a beautiful day. The weather was gorgeous and I got to play with the grandkids. Here is Jaxon. He rolls around, and gets stuck under the cutting table.

I know I am very blessed by what my parents taught me and know that they loved me. I hope they know I love them.

It's been quite awhile since I have sent any info about our family. My life is full; busy and hectic. It's all good though. I am truly blessed and you will now see just how blessed I am.

Here's Tyler just leaving for the Priesthood Session. He forgot his Sunday clothes, so he raided Grandpa's (Dayle's) closet and came up with a dress shirt, a lovely and always in style sweater, and the best, you can't see. He wore GP's old working shoes. They are black loafer-like. The boys told us Tyler fit right in with the styles of Midway.

We spent a couple of days up at the cabin in Midway during the conference weekend. It was so beautiful. The girls had a great time. As you can see they love to have their picture taken. They posed for me.

Grandpa always has to get a bit of office work in. But, what a place to do it! The cabin is so much fun and the company was even better.

Jayce loved being outside and she is always up to posing for pictures.

Kylee can always be found reading the books.

Kaja got a hold of my glasses I need for crocheting. She looks a whole lot cuter than I do in those things.

Jax was rolling in his blanket. He covers the whole room in no time.

Here's THE DEER. Finally! It's been years since the David Jeffs' clan have had a deer. The story is great. The boys admit to a bit of 'buck fever'.

Last night was the Women General Relief Society Meeting. It was very helpful, as always. I especially enjoyed it because my favorite girls were there with me. Leslie, Andrea, Nicole and Christine. What a special time for me. I can't help but miss my mom. No, she wouldn't have been there with me, but she is now always in my thoughts and heart. Thanks girls for making it a night to remember.

OK girls, maybe not your best pictures, but good memories of times together.

I love you all.
