Michaels homecoming

Today is Sunday the 21st of December we are down at grandpa Scotts and grandma Danas house in Castle Dale for Michaels homecoming from his mission. He went to North Carolina, and came home last Sunday. I can not believe how much he has grown up. We are all getting ready to go and read a christmas story by grandpa Scott and then we will start down the canyon, so I can go to work tonight. There are only 4 more days until Christmas and I think we are almost ready! We discovered today that Tyler needs some new church pants he has grown so much. All of the kids are so excited and I would have to say I am too! We all wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Grandpa Barneys 80th birthday

For those of you that know me well, one of the most important men in my life is my grandpa Barney. He just turned 80 on the 9th! He is such an amazing man, and I could not be more proud to call him "my" grandpa! He is not feeling so good. He has been told by many Dr's that he has a bad back and that he must slow down, and not do so much. Telling that to him has been the hardest thing that he has had to go through. I have never met anyone who works as hard as him, and although there are days that I wish that someone would tell me to slow down and not do so much. I realize how blessed I am to have my health! I am so thankful for my grandpa in so many ways, and the most important is showing me what to look for in a man. I have to say that I have the greatest husband in the world, and I am so glad for Randen in my life to be my husband and for what a wonderful father he is to my 4 beautiful children! Did I just say "beautiful"? I know I complain how crazy my kids and life are, but I am really thankful for them and all that they bring to my life! Happy Birthday Grandpa, heres to turning 80! Love Chelsee and family.

I can't believe that Avery is 6!!! For those of you that don't know us Avery is Big time! I also can't believe that is almost time for Christmas. I am not even close to ready! My house is ready, but the presents and Santa is not quite ready! I love this time of year, and I am so glad that it is snowed today and we were told that we might have a white Christmas! If I don't talk to you before the holdays, I wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
