HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 Here we Come.

Goodbye to 2011 A year of GOOD, BAD and UGLY. I am going to do a quick overview
of what we did and what happened. First I must do a disclaimer. The worse part of the year was how I lost all my pictures from my computer and I have not been able to load pictures
from my camera, Therefore, I quit taken pictures. I have some pictures on my I phone but
still haven't uploaded those because I don't know how.

Ok, I am stupid and uneducated in this regard. in my defense I must say, I work highly technical equipment and computers at work. So Why can't I do simple things at home.
I am blaming it on my OLD computer and have a New Year's resolution to get an APPLE MAC
Computer soon. I also am in the market for a new car. We'll see how these things go.

So , I can only scan pictures onto my computer so here's what I have scanned.
We went to Europe in May/June of 2011 . This was such a great adventure. We flew from
New York to Hamburg, Germany where our Good friends, Marianne and Jens'ola Fredericken
met us and we vacationed with them for a few days as we drove to their home in Copenhagen
We stayed at a fun place and rode bikes and just enjoyed the company of one another.







We then spent some time about 3 or 4 days at Their home and visited with their children and did some tours near and around Copenhagen including going to the Temple, Visiting with Jerry and Chris Jensen( my cousins who are on a Mission there) We had another week to continue
our European Adventure. We found an AMAZING DEAL to go on a Cruise Through the Norway Fjords which ended up being a Wonderful Time with Georgious Hikes, Scenery and Fabulous Food , entertainment and all in all Great experience.

So , Let's see , I have blogged up to July 2011 so I will Jump back to Late Summer and Fall and end this blog to Dec. 2011

Our Summer of 2011 and Fall of 2011 was beautiful. We both work full time and tend Connor every day that we are off, every other week that he is here. Connor and Kami Moved out of our home in November into an apartment which is good for them and us. Kami has reconnected with an old Friend, Cory Green who she has rekindled a relationship. She has a much better working situation, days and no nights no weekends so that should be better for her.

Connor is growing and doing well. Our Greene grandchildren are growing so fast and keeeping
busy. I pick the girls up from school when i'm available . Adyson is turning into a Young women which is fun to watch. Wyatt is doing well in High school, he is a very good young man. Sierra is
a busy eight year old and miss personality in their neighborhood.

For Thanksgiving, Morris, Myself, Kami and Connor went to Delta , Utah to be with many of the Told's at Matt and Katie's home. David , Belinda , Josh and Shayla and Hannah . Trent and Joby
and their 2 daughters, Dad and Tom and Mollie. It was a very fun day.
I had to work until Close Wednesday and then again the Friday at 8:00 am , so it was a rather
rushed with alot of Driving. The weather was dry and the drive to Delta via West side of the Lake was beautiful .

We Got a good Start for Christmas Celebrations by going to a work party at Betsey and Rod's Beautiful Mansion. We went to Dicken Festival ( which I need not Repeat) I got a brainstorm idea to do something special for Christmas Eve with just our family. THat ended up being a huge amount of work but it also brought me the Christmas Spirit in abundance. I did alot of reading
and studing the true meaning of Christmas.

Here is a brief summary of what we did.:
Mo and Me dressed in Bethlehem attire and welcomed everyone to our home for a Christmas
Journey to discover the TRUE MEANING of Christmas. We had refreshments and moved from
room to room in candle lit rooms with music playing in the background. Each room had a theme as we discussed all the symbols of Christmas. the kids opened presents along the way and dressed in the appropriate costumes. We ended comparing Christ to Santa Clause and sang
silent night and had a full meal. IT was very fun. anyway I thought it was. I felt Mom and Dad's spirit close as I sought help to make it meaningful for our little Family.

The Day after Christmas, Morris had to work, so I went visiting: Utah county to see RogChris
Doyle/Judy and called Julie Taylor. I then went to my old Neighborhood in SLC to visit Vena and WenDee. It was such a fun day. In the evening, I met Morris at Dads and We spent a fun evening with Tom , Mollie, Dave/ Belinda , A great reunion for Mom Told's Birthday.

So this about ends the 2011 Year. I again am So Thankful for all our blessings and feel the hand
of our Heavenly Father and My Saviour Jesus Christ in everything I do and Bear Testimony of
His Life, Purpose and Sacrifice made for you and Me.

I am still experiementing on how to use all the tools available to me for my blog. I will keep
trying until I have what I like.

This has become my main journal so I will use it as such.

It is Nov.19th 2011,

We had our first snow storm of the season which makes me feel anticipation for the holidays.
We are all doing well. Kami and Connor had lived with us for about 10 months. They have now
moved into an apartment which is really nice. Connor lives one week with Kami and one week
with John. Not Ideal, but that's the way it is. Connor has never known anything else so he seems to adjust well. He is growing so big and talks well and is doing really well in his pre-school
that he goes to twice a week, everyother week. No too consistant but better than nothing.

I have become very good about not stressing about things I cannot change. It is my ever goal
to be OK with this.

Kortney and her family are growing and doing well. Wyatt is in High School and is such a
great kid. He is very loving and sweet to us all the time.
Adyson is getting to be a teenage in looks and action. She will be 12 in January and is growing
way too fast.

Sierra is 8 and is still a beautiful, social butterfly that keeps everyone going. Next year Kortney
will have one in Highschool , one in Jr. High and one in Elementary which should be interesting.
