Pictures from Thanksgiving....

Here are some photos taken at Thanksgiving time. We went to DC to spend the holiday with my mom (Tacie), brother Jameel, aunt Sonja and cousins. We filled the time with shopping, going to 2 museums and eating. We enjoyed our time there and can't wait to go back...Thank you to all who feed us, and to mom for allowing us to stay in her home. Jameel was a trooper, he gave up his bed and slept at Josh's so that we could stay with mom.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

CAN YOU BELEIVE THAT IT IS ALMOST TIME FOR THE BIG JOLLY MAN TO COME DOWN THE CHIMMNEY? THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR, I LOVE THE SMELLS AND THE SHOPPING, BUT MOST OF ALL THE TIME I GET TO SPEND WITH MY FAMILY. FOR THANKSGIVING WE WENT TO DC TO VISIT MY MOM AND BROTHER, NOT TO MENTION MY AUNT SONJA AND COUSINS. I HAD A BLAST, IT WAS RELAXING AND IT WAS NICE TO BE ON VACATION. NOW OUR FAMILY IS GEARING TO GO TO UTAH FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON, AND WE ARE ALL VERY EXCITED.
I JUST GOT OUR FAMILY PHOTOS IN, I WISH I COULD SCAN THEM IN THE COMPUTER BUT THEY ARE WAY TOOO BIG, AND I WAS NOT WILLING TO SPEND THE 600.00 FOR THE PROOFS. I DID ORDER ONE SMALL ONE OF US ALL, BUT THE SCANNER MAKES IT DARK AND I DON'T LIKE IT.
I WILL GO AHEAD AND PUT IT UP ANYWAY, SO YOU CAN GET THE DRIFT. I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING AND THAT YOU HAVE EVEN A BETTER CHRISTMAS SEASON.

TOOO MUCH FUN!!!!

-k- so I am the activities leader and the bishop for our ward has asked us to focus on service we have decided to make blankets for the children's hospital 25 minutes away. I went to JoAnne's last night and bought some material and started working on one, then two and then three. I am having so much fun! They are cute, and they require no sewing, the down-er is there is lots of clipping and my hands are cold and sore, but it is well worth it.

Saying goodbye

in the past two and half week the Munns family has been to heaven (Utah) and back. We left on Thursday September 10th with our very good friend Marianne. We drove the bell vehicles back to Utah for them so that they could spend their time in the RV with Shari. It was a great drive, the weather was good, the kids were good and having a great friend made it easier. We decided at the last moment to take the whole family because we felt it would be a long trip and we didn't want to leave anyone behind. We drove the 1700 miles in 13.5 hours the first day and then the rest on Friday. Marianne and Cabot opened their home for us and we stayed with them till Sunday. During that time we were able to visit with Shari one last time, I have written about it in my journal. That night she went into a sleep and was never able to really communicate with anyone again, so I was happy that we got our goodbyes, kisses and hugs. She passed away on Sheldon's and mine anniversary, hard to take at first but it will be someone I will not forget. We stayed till after her funeral on September 22, we did stand by at the airport and all went well. It was hard to leave our family and our close friends but because we are going back in December it makes it alittle easier. The picture above is one Marianne took, because we were unable to go to the grave site. What a brave and loving family they are.... I also included a picture the family gave me before they left, for memories. It isn't the best copy from our printer but it shows how happy they were.
