Our Little Family Photo shoot

Saturday, November 19th 2011
Tim and I have our family photos. It's been 8 years since we had photos taken. I felt it was long over due, so I scheduled the time and place with our photographer James Larson. I came to learn of him from work...he so happens to be my boss, but as a hobby he does professional photography.
We met at the Ogden Hampton Inn and Suites in the Lobby area. Great colors, and endless possibilites for the photos.
Now I feel I must explain that Tim does not like having his pictures taken, and so it was kind of difficult to get him to smile for every frame. However there were moments that Tim and I were joking around, and laughing. I am very pleased with our photos. Tim looks handsome, and I don't think I look to bad either.
 James did an excellent job, and I'm thankful for his patience in working with us.

A grateful heart!

I have so many things to be grateful for it overwhelms my heart. First and fore most I am so very thankful for my family, and that's all members... parents, grandparents past and present, in-laws, all extended members... Without my family I would not be the person that I am today. As a child they helped me, taught me, nourished, and continually teach me new things. I can only pray that one day I will be able to pass on my wisdom.
I grateful for my friends, including close personal friends to the ones of Facebook.
I'm grateful to be an American, and to have my freedoms and rights in this beautiful country. I grateful to all those whom have served and serve today this nation to continue providing our freedom.
I'm grateful to modern medicines to help me manage my diabetes, and for modern technology in entertainment and communications.
I am grateful for the blessings the Lord has given unto me. He's blessed me with a loving and caring husband, a home that shelters us with comfort and warmth, the best pets we're been privileged to know, great employment, and all other provisions.
I'm thankful for the gospel; it has brought a comfort to my life. I know that Heavenly Father loves me, and that Jesus suffered for my sins so that I may return to live with my Heavenly Father one day.

Roxy, The Killer

This evening Tim came home to let the kids out and play ball with Koda. While Tim was outside with them he observed a pheasant fly down and hit the shed, and then Roxy jump unto top of it. Sad to say she killed the pheasant. Tim saved it to show me, and I must say it was a beautiful bird.

One night about a month ago she pounced a cat that was hiding in her dog house. I'm happy to say that cat got away.
The girl will kill anything that comes into the back yard, so all you other animals stay out.
