Fireside with Sister Dew

Aren't we lucky! Here I am with my Stake Relief Society Presidency from BYU. We invited Sister Dew to come a couple of months ago and our night finally came and it was wonderful. What a great lady and what beautiful words of wisdom she gave our sweet sisters in our Stake.

Can you tell we had a lot of fun! We did.

Fall is way over and now Winter is almost gone.

It's been a way long time since I have posted. Life's just crazy and some things get put on a back burner. So I just do what I can when I can. Especially being with the grandkids. Here are some pics of them at Grammy's house.

Blake has this new little face where he sucks in his lips and wants to be picked up!

Kaja loves to pose for the camera. She has a beautiful smile.

Leslie's girls are saying goodbye!

Here's little "Emmett", I mean Emily. She is one of a kind.

Kevin is feeding Katelynn, a pass time she really enjoys as you can see.

Tyler and David are taking a rest.

The Boys! Blake and Jaxon play very well together.

The Next Generation

Skiing with the kids is always fun, but now it's skiing with the grandkids! And what fun it is! Seriously, I get to watch David teach them!

Here's Tyler and Christine and Leslie. It was a beautiful day and great snow (and easy runs!)

Here's Kaja with Grandpa in front coaxing her down! She was a great sport and did very well.

Kylee loved the skiing. She didn't want to stop.

"Hang on Leslie!" She's thinking this is a piece of cake. Yeah! Because David took Kylee!

Andrea brought her whole family. David skied with Jaxon down to the bottom to hang with Grammy!

This does not look easy! David is a good teacher and even better Grandpa!

Another cheesy smile, this time from Christine! This was her first time (with us). She's only been a couple of times before and that was when she was 10 years old, or somewhere around there. She did a great job. Tyler got her up on the ski lift and she was amazing.

Kylee didn't want to stop. Even after going up on the lift and not really enjoying the coming down at all, it was her idea to go back to the rope tow.

It was a great day.

Don't you love the FALL

This is a tree in our backyard! I love it. We have had a great fall.

I love having the kids over. Here's Blake with big sis Kaja.

Here I am with Jaxon and Kaja.

Little Katelynn has now joined the fall parties.

Kylee and Jayce and Emily always have big smiles for the camera.

FAMILY FUN

For General Conference we (who could) went to spend some quality time at the cabin. It was a ton of fun.

The kids are always on the floor playing.

See what I mean!

Some of us like the couch better. It's softer.

Blake is getting so big. He is a very happy guy!

But there's always school work to find that needs to be done.

Or of course there's always WORK to do!

But mostly we like to play and be with the babies.

Everybody loves Katelynn!

It's just great to lounge around.

Jaxon is now the older cousin.

Kaja really gets into coloring. She is very focused.

Tyler is either doing school work or writing in his journal.

Christine was a big help on the family calendars. She finished one for me.

Kevin gets 'down' with the guitar.

Andrea relaxed with some crossword puzzles.

Kevin got some down time with Katelynn.

What is Blake looking for!????

Happy, happy babies.

Grandpa gets to fix breakfast!

It was a lot of fun. We haven't done the cabin for a long time.

Four Wheeling

David and I took Leslie and Jared four wheelin' near Mona. This was a trip that Jared 'bought' at the family Christmas auction. It was a real fun ride, and very pretty. We ran into some snow and it got very cold.

I always have to get a picture of the riders!

I think this is the picture with the deer! Maybe not. Now that I think about it I didn't think I had my camera with me so I used David's camera. This is just a picture of the snow.

And more snow. It really was a fun ride.

Katelynn's Blessing

Our 7th grandchild was born on July 22nd and she is beautiful. Her parents are Kevin and Nicole. She was blessed on October 11th.

This is her blessing dress that I made. Nicole picked out all the material and pattern that she wanted and I went from there. It was fun to make.

Here is proud papa!

Here is the busy new mom!

This is Katelynn Alice.

Here is the new Jeffs' Family.
