Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful New Year and I hope you all did as well! It was the first time in a long time that my whole family was able to just get together and hang out. Not all of us was able to be around for Christmas. We had some fun activities:


Several of us shot some hoops!

We had a lot of snacking going on, of course!




We just hung out and enjoyed one anothers company!




Some of us played games, while grandpa pretended to read a story!

We pulled Honey candy! That was some fun!






During the time we got to spend with our family, someone asked Kenzi what her goals were for the next year. I was interested to hear what she would say because we hadn't talked about any thing like that. She thought about it for a while and then replied: "I'm going to read through the Book of Mormon." "Oh thats a good goal," says Uncle Chad. "Yeah, I've already started." She said. What more can we ask then that our children 'walk in faith'.

I was reading an incredible talk by Pres. Uchtdorf. I liked his thought:

"You have agency, and you are free to choose. But there is actually no free agency. Agency has its price. You have to pay the consequences of you choices."
