On the twenty-fourth day of December...

It's Christmas Eve! Can you believe it finally arrived? I can't. I was going to be super productive today and get up at 5:30 a.m. to start bread. Well....my alarm went off. I turned it off and promptly went back to sleep until 7 a.m. No one else was up so I got up and started my bread. Now I am off to herd the boys into doing their chores so they can play the rest of the day. They are a funny lot. If you mess with their play time they get all uptight. Michael our 7 yr old thinks school is a waste of time because it interrupts his play time. I get the biggest kick out of that one. So...he better enjoy his two week school break! Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

Meet the Parents...Russell and Candace
It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
