Long over due

I finally got all the pics off my camera I had 1,135 pictures on it! Holy cow this is going to be a long post!

The pics you see in the red tutu are our Christmas pics, I started taking them in October. It was still in the 80's and I didn't want the girls to get to cold. This family Christmas picture was a bit daunting I admit, next time I will hire a professional instead of taking them myself. I had my friend Lasha take the ones that I am in. It was a lot of work, by the time I got the pics I wanted I had to have them printed four times. Wal-Mart yes I said Wal-Mart messed up a lot. I don't have a lot of stores near me and they are the only ones that do Matt finish around here. I only got half my list sent out for Christmas cards, it was way to much work and I gave up halfway through. So if you didn't get a card from us this year sorry. But you didn't miss out on much. For the record next year I want Christmas cards from everyone, we will be home sick so even if you don't send out cards go to Hallmark get a card and paste a family picture in it and send it to us. It is still a U.S. address so it will get to us in Germany.

Let me tell you a story about PJ, she was the reason I went to RDH school in Idaho. If it wasn't for her crying to her counselor about wanting to come back to Utah I would have never found out about the school. Later the next week I spoke with this said counselor and she told me about an RDH school in Idaho and I went and lived by this cute red head (not peppermint patty but pj) and she told me her story and then we connected the dots. Then we left Idaho and I went to Ohio for tys DMD school and guess who followed me, yep Pj. She is one of my besties! We also both have Emersyns! This was foreordained in the heavens! We met up in Utah on her last day before she went back to the "Ohio:. It meant a lot to me that she took time out to see us. Love the Pj and Ej...ok Nate and Diesel too.

Tys high school buddies: Ty, Brett, Brooks, John. Brooks and his adorable wife Katie had all of us over for breakfast one morning, they are the ones that keep everyone together. I think the world of these families they are one of the sweetest groups of people we know. Not bad for a bunch of mischievous hooligan boys. They grew up to be great men!
