Another day of THANKSGIVING

Today's thanks goes out to the fabulous couple that brought me into this world. I have learned so much from them. One thing I have I got from my mom (involuntarily) is to talk in my sleep. I have always enjoyed talking to my mom after she has fallen asleep. She always comes back with some great response of nonsense and we all laugh and have a good time while she gets mad at us for bothering her while she is sleeping. It seems Jeph has discovered our fun game, but instead of harassing my mom, he harasses me while I sleep. I have been woken many times in mid sentence not knowing exactly how to finish my sentence or what I was telling Jeph. Though this game is currently only fun for Jeph, I would like to thank my mom for the countless memories of such good times and that now I will be able to pass the same joy that this has brought me on to my family. Thanks mama!















My dad, being the talented guy that he is, is always working on some project. For instance, last summer he added more cement for parking at our house. The summer before, he added a garage. He's moved the stairs in our house twice, he has added two decks to our house and refinished our kitchen, and besides all of this fun stuff, dad worked on the farm throughout the summer as well. I have learned that summer = projects! You can make anything you want. Also, if my dad doesn't know something, he reads the encyclopedia or the owner's manual or whatever is available. So I've learned not to settle for not knowing the answer but to look it up and do the research. Thanks papa!

Brent and Karla were married November 21, 1973 and have raised ten beautiful children and now have 21 ½ grandchildren (Cali’s due in January!) and counting. They worked hard to financially support such a large family but they worked even harder to make sure their children knew that they loved them and they understood the importance of the gospel in their lives. They sure have done an excellent job! Thanks you two and congratulations on 35 years together!!!
