Spring 2009

To welcome spring we planted some flowers, tomatoes and sweet peppers. Hunter is wearing an eye patch on his left eye two hours a day to exercise his weaker right eye. Here are our most recent family pictures. Julie Goldthorpe also came to visit from Cedar City, after returning from her church mission in Germany.

Baby Hunter

Hunter is eight months old now. He is the topic of conversation wherever we go because he has alot of curly hair right now I comb it down but, if it gets wet it is back to curly. We have had people follow us in the mall just so they can touch his red hair. Anyway we are so happy he is with us and enjoy watching him grow and learn new things.

The 2008 Holiday Season

We have enjoyed the 2008 Holiday Season including Christmas and hope that all of you have also. We were in Orange for Halloween and Thanksgiving and traveling in the California central valley the week of Christmas. We spent two days in snow covered Sequoia before spending Christmas eve in Visalia with Kathy, Roy and the boys. Marianne made a chocolate Christmas log cake (Buche De Noel) on Christmas day to share with everyone, which she learned how to make through Relief Society.

We then spent a couple of relaxing days with Phyllis and Greg's family (Steve's sister) near San Jose. Marianne bought a set of bread pans so that she can bake a bigger batch of bread. Below we first show Halloween and Thanksgiving pictures, then we show our initial pictures leading to the Christmas Holiday. Hunter is about 7 months old now.






















Our Central Valley trip begins.
