snow time
With fall here, winter is just around the corner so I thought I´d get everyone in the mood for snow with some of last years snow videos.
Besides that I can´t get any of my pictures from my summer trip to come up on my computer!!
Isn´t Uncle Jeff fun!

BIG HUG too! All you need to do

taking this picture, and you'll
know how much
I love and miss you!!
Love, MOM
ps: From what I can tell
most guys aren't into
flowers, but most of them
like to eat, so hope you

this 'edible bouquet.'

Hi All,
We are having a good time with Cindy. Went to the temple in San Diego on Saturday and then ate at Old Town. Nice day very comfortable.
Sad news this morning Doug Vance called to let me know that my cousin Larry Vance passed away Saturday evening from cancer. I'm glad I had a chance to see him last month. He was a super nice guy and he will be missed.
Going to the beach to work on my tan with Cindy. Mom has to work.
Love to all

Thank You Bruce Family
THE STORY (written by Cathi Webb)
A few years ago our niece, Cindi, from California , married a handsome young man, David, from Barcelona , Spain in the San Diego Temple . While they were dating, Cindi knew David felt he was to live in Spain to strengthen the church in that area.

It has been hard for the family to have them so far away.
Cindi emailed to say they would be in Utah in August! She wondered if anyone would like to go to the Salt Lake City Real/Houston Dynamos soccer game, and who could come to a BBQ and family soccer game for FHE the Monday after that.
My husband, usually a conservative man who weighs carefully any plan, said, “Book us a flight!” We emailed everyone that we were coming from Houston and our souls delighted as other family members responded positively from Texas , Washington , Colorado , California and various parts of Utah .
August arrived with beautiful weather. Mini reunions began taking place around the scheduled events. I climbed for over 4 hours in the mountains behind
Solitude Ski Resort with some family members including 6 grandchildren, the oldest was 12 years old. There were visits to Temple Square ,
water ski excursions and picnics and family pictures. Sunday brought smaller family units together for church and dinner; precious, precious time together.
There were 33 family members at the professional soccer game minus 4 who choose to be present at the birth of my new great nephew, Justin, who just didn’t want to miss out and joined the family over 5 weeks early.
Although some had to return home for school or work responsibilities, FHE on Monday had 36 spectators watching as children 12 and under formed two teams and played an amazing soccer game followed by adults playing into the evening.
A happy, well fed group of nearly 60 family members quietly gathered around Cindi’s parents, Ed and Marie, as they conducted a reverent and thoughtful Family Home Evening.
AND NOW, THE REST OF THE STORY.
Before the FHE closing prayer, Marie told of a family who usually gave a sum of money to charity at Christmastime. Last Christmas was different; they felt prompted to give plane tickets from Spain to America to a young woman living far from home. Hearts swelled and tears ran freely as we all were struck with the far reaching effects of the gift, and the Lord’s love and attention to us in prompting it.
