Golfing- Anthony, Marques, and Dad

Arianna, my niece. She loves the shower and joined many whether invited or not, at least she's clean right!!

Tired Boys. "Just need to cuddle with Daddy a bit." -Rio



(Sorry it is sideways, still figuring this out) My nephew, Brendon. In his new christmas snow outfit preparing with his family  who moves to Minnasota in a few weeks!! Love the new cars slippers!

Well, Can anyone Believe the Holidays are here.. Wow. Two weeks ago was pretty normal for us. We helped out at the Service project and fed the missionaries, and Marques finished up his simulation class. Which he really enjoyed. He got registered for his next term, luckily getting all the ones he wanted. Last week was a bit more full. Monday was his last day of school. That night was spent cleaning the house, and packing for our trip. Tuesday was my lst day of work. Upon my return, we packed the car, Dusty and Rio too, and off we went for my Sister's home in Oklahoma City. Getting there late we headed to bed pretty quick. The animals relieved to be out of the car. Wednesday was full of crafts with my nephew and niece, and time with the family. The boys got to go golfing! Thursday was so fun, a great dinner, and a little Christmas after, considering none of us will be together for Christmas. Friday we celebrated my sister's birthday, and she did my nails!! Then we packed the truck and got in. My mom, I, and Rio in the back, with Marques driving, and Dad and Dusty in Shotgun. We made great time, so the animals weren't to bad. I think Rio lost a few pounds in slobber, but he is fine now, lol. That night we turned my parents into College kids again taking them to Midnight Yell at the Staduim for our football team. The next day was spent touring the local fun sites to see and ended in Marques and Dad at the A&M Game. With mom and I grocery shopping, aren't parents filling your pantry great?? Sunday was wonderfully spent. I taught Relief Society, and we made brownies for the missionaries delivery they had, then off to the turtles. Of course the turtles were hiding so we only saw two!! Maybe next trip out they won't be so shy. Then we had the missionaries join us for dad's enchiladas and games!! So Fun. That leads us to this sad morning of Marques returning to school and I dropped of my parents at the airport. Yes, I cried. It was so wonderful to have family around and liven this place up a bit!! Well, that's all for now and I hope you all had a great start to this wonderful season!!
