Here are some pictures from the past year, just a few of my favorites!

It's the holiday season and I'm very grateful this year! Many may have heard that we had layoffs at UOP and it was a tough day on Monday. We lost some very good people and we will miss them. My thoughts and prayers are with them and their families. Thanksgiving hit hard the Monday after this year and I am very grateful to have a job. I'm grateful for all of my employees and am glad that they were not affected. I am so grateful for my family, nothing beats coming home everyday and seeing the kids going crazy with excitement that I am finally home! I love this picture of Jaylee, I just found it and even though it's a little old it looks appropriate for the season!!! I am so grateful for faith and for the church and for our Savior Jesus Christ. I am so glad that we get to celebrate His birth at this time of year, and I am looking forward to Christmas and spending time with the family. I am so glad we have family close by and that it's not too far to go visit. We had a great Thanksgiving in Snowflake, although I was surprised it snowed on us! I was all prepared to go golfing over the break, obviously that did not happen! Larry and I watched football and basketball all day Thursday and Friday, and every team we rooted for lost! I'm grateful for good friends and for our good ward here in Queen Creek. I just got called to work with the Teacher's Quorum and am having a great time with them. We have good kids in the ward, and good people.

Merry Christmas everyone, let the 25 day countdown begin!!!

Grandma wouldn't let Jaylee hold Emma.

Jaylee was so upset. She loves baby Emma

So Grandma gave in and let her touch the baby.

Jaylee was so happy to hold baby Emma.

She kept giving her kisses.

Trains!!!!

A man in the neighborhood had a town and train tracks set up in his front yard. He came out and played with Maddock.

One of the trains was Thomas.
Maddock loves Thomas the train!!!

Maddock was so upset when it was time to leave.

He loves TRAINS!!!!

Pictures from our Labor Day weekend

Fishing with Grandpa Watson at Woodland Lakes

Maddock got his own fishing pole and sunglasses. He is ready to catch some fish.

The night before he was so excited to go he couldn't sleep. In the morning he wouldn't wake up to go. So Mommy took him later to meet up with his dad and grandpa.

When He got back to grandma's house he was asked if he caught any fish and he answered "Fishing is too hard!" Unfortunately fishing was too hard for Daddy too. No one caught anything but moss.
