NC Klan in a Tree

Emmie, Kolby, Mallorie & Kade

December 1, 2007

It's finally December, and in 11 days I fly to CA to await the birth of new baby girl! We are all excited about this! Helen said she would try to hold on until I got there! She had better!!
After a wonderful Thanksgiving, I'm looking forward to spending some relaxing time at Kevin and Helen's. I have several books waiting to be packed!
I'm not decorating for Christmas again this year, since we'll be at Kevin's. However I've been playing our favorite John Denver Christmas CD!

Post Thanksgiving

Well, it's all over! I took the NC klan to Tucson today, so they could catch the plane for NC with a layover in Phx. Crazy! Hated saying goodbye--Emmie cried when she said goodbye, and I cried all the way to the outlets in Casa Grande! It was a wonderful Thanksgiving in Colorado! Our weather was really perfect. Had a bonfire one night, and made smores, then woke up to snow and made snow ice cream. The kids all loved it.
We all wished Kevin and Helen, and Kodi, Trenton, and Jeremy could have been there with us. The guys went out one day and shot the guns. Travis, Katie and Ashlyn came over and visited and talked about missions and hunting! The guys are looking forward to a hunting trip next year with Travis helping them shoot a deer or elk!
I have tons of pictures to post, when I figure out how to put them in the right format!

Almost Thanksgiving!

Well, it's hard to see Karter, but nevertheless, we're proud of his football team! It's always fun to be on the winning team! Bailee was chosen to be on a new Volleyball team, she had to try out for. Hopefully I can post pictures of her also!
I'm counting the hours until the NC Klan get here! PaPa has talked and talked about Miss Emmie! We've told him what a character she is! And I'm so glad that Kade remembers coming to "Grandma's" house!
Kilee wants to take Bailee to the Mall shopping! They are two of a kind! Still more like sisters than aunt and neice.
I'm ready for a vacation! Tired of taking PaPa to doctors! It will be wonderful to have my girls in Colorado, since they all cook too! Christtina plans to make her pumpkin roll, and Misha her famous Chocolate Mousse! Ummmm----

Thanksgiving

We are all counting down the days until we see our NC family members! It will be wonderful in Colorado to experience some "winter" unlike the weather we've had in AZ.
I'm so thankful to have so many wonderful children! It was all I ever wanted in life! And now to see Grandchildren come into the family (they are actually much better than my own children! Much smarter!)

It was wonderful getting all the kids pictures for Halloween! Still waiting for Trenton's!
We're all looking forward to Thanksgiving in Colorado! We will have a house full! Myrle is wishing he would have let me build my basement up there!
