With less than three months left before Bruce and I leave on our mission in Salt Lake City, my mission here at home is to spend as much time as I can making memories with my family - all the generations! It has been delightful, and I thought I'd share some of my Kodak moments with you.
Alli and Madison take dance lessons. Recently, they
performed for the residents the Mary Campbell Center.
The patients there just loved those little dancers!
Alixa, Jarom and Jenna came up to Delaware for a weekend.
All we need is an excuse to get together and hang out.
Eight grandkids makes anything exciting!
The gang's all here!

always busy cooking up something in grandma's pots!

We flew to Salt Lake, and spent a couple of days with Jolene, Rob, Kristi and other assorted relatives in the Salt Lake area. Then we drove to Boise to see grandma and grandpa Holderness and the family members who live there. Mom had just had surgery the previous week, and once again she demonstrated her cheerful spirit and positive outlook as she recovered. What a fun time we had visiting!

Such cute pictures! You grandkids all seem to look a whole lot like each other! I wish we could have seen you on your trip out west, but I guess we will probably get to see a lot more of you soon! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures...especially the one of Hailey and Luke smiling together. It sounds like you guys have been busy, but having lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping to come see you before you and Bruce head out west. We'll give you a call to find a time that works!
I love your family.
Sorry I'm too lame to have done this for you. But you did a great job! Love you.
ReplyDeleteI love reading your posts! Very cute family. You and Jamie sure look a lot alike! Thanks for sharing your wonderful family with me!
