As I am writing our Christmas letter it really looks like Christmas here at the ranch. There is about ten inches of snow outside. Our home is all decorated for Christmas. Our tractor won't start so we can't clear our driveway. We will be here for a while. We have a nice warm fire so it is cozy.
It has been a pretty normal year for us. We had a lot of rain this winter. When spring came, Bill put in a very impressive garden as usual. We had corn, tomatoes, and everything we could want. We ate everything fresh or gave it away. I'm not up to canning any more. In fact Bill does most of the cooking now. He really is creative. Not much more to tell about Bill and I.
Our family is doing fine. Cathy works about 4 days a week in a retirement home. Marvin does his frame shop. Lisa, Greg, Gavin and Corbin are still living on their property in trail. Lisa works in the school cafeteria in Shady Cove. Greg works at Lowes. Gavin plans to go on a mission next summer. Corbin is busy with school and is getting tall. Mike, Amy, Dylan, Kaya and Ethan are doing well. Mike is busy with his job at Kodak. Amy has her hands full with the kids. Ryan broke his ankle at his job. Melissa is busy with kids. Cathy has to drive him around. Dustin works all over the state as an electrician. Ian works at Kodak now and is engaged.
Cindie has a beautiful home near Provo, Utah. She doesn't fly any more but does lots of Grandma stuff. Rob is still doing accounting. Amber and Roger are together again. She is teaching school. Austin and Stacie have a cute new baby boy to go with their girls. He works for Kennecott. Stacie is busy with family and church. Ashley and Casey and family are still in Idaho. He is in the plumbing business and Ashley is Primary President and the very busy mother of 3 darling kids. Adam and Annalisa have a baby boy. Adam lives in Virginia where he is working on becoming a physical therapist.
Greg's life has become exciting. He met the love of his life on the Church internet. Her name is Rosa and she is from Brazil, but was living in London. He went to London to get to know her. She just arrived in California and they are planning to get married soon. Megan is going to college in California. Jimmy, Stephanie, Hailey and Carson are living in Shady Cove, Oregon. Jimmy has a good job with James Construction. Carson will turn 3 on 12/14/13. He is a darling handful of energy. Hailey goes to Prospect Middle School. Alicia and Mitch both work very hard. Alicia keeps my hair looking great along with many other people. Mitch is very busy detailing cars.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a great 2014!
