Whooooo Raaaaa it's 2012!!  Happy New Year.

That's as far as Allison wanted to go.  She was quite comfortable in the doorway.

Very cool sparklers.  Polly provided them for us, not sure where she got them, but they were great

Oh Allison, Happy New Year!

Allison and Miken Shumway.  They were so happy to be back together.


So 2011 is over and we begin a new year.  I look back on 2011 with so much gratitude for every blessing that we have been given.  We sent out Dallin, our missionary son to Argentina, we have a beautiful daughter safe at Dixie State College, and three wonderful children here at home.  DeWitt and Lillian are going to Saffford High School, and Polly is going to Safford Middle School.  Our five kids our so stinken Awesome I can hardly stand it!  I was sitting at the table and telling Scott just how much I love my family, and I couldn't stop the tears from coming.  They each are so proactive in being good and righteous and productive, and thoughtful, and helpful.  I have the  most amazing husband.  He is so good to me, and loves me so much and provides for our family in such a comfortable way.  I am amazed at his ambition and his drive, and his creativity.  He has built from the ground up a four plex apartment building.  I am so proud of my family.  We have been so healthy, and well cared for and recognize these things as  blessings from our Heavenly Father.  Our testimonies have increased this year through the different experiences that we've had, and we are all so very grateful from them.  Especially we are grateful this year for the perfect love of our Heavenly Father that he gave his only Begotten Son, so that We might return to him after this life, and to our loving Savior Jesus Christ for his Atonement on our behalf .   This year has been just wonderful!!!  I look forward to more adventures with this great family of ours.  
 Bring on 2012
