I will just start by saying, I will never compare to my mother and this tribute is evidence of that but it is the thought that counts!!!
There is a mother name Billie Sue; who raised six kids, some dogs and a husband too.
She works each day and gives all that she's got; teaching, cooking, care-giving, signing, farming, incorporating and what not.
She can plan any event in a minute or two; with all her kids help we know what to do.
Raising six kids, sometimes on her own, she did great; her "grands" she adores-Ellie, Luke, Tess, Mia, Noah, Jack, Boy named "Sue", baby G will make eight.
The example she has set makes it easy on us- to show love for our Savior because it's a must!
The land of Woodland is where she calls home, she has built a legacy of tradtions for her kids who are grown.
The love of her life she meet really young, their time as empty-nesters has only begun.
A woman so happy her joy is contagious, I'm grateful this day for the things that she gave us.
So on this day when you stop to remember, give praise to our mother forever and ever!

Weekend in St. George
As you may have heard from Chelsea and Giselle we all got together in St. George last weekend. ( I know we find any excuse to get together, Thank you Dr. King!) I just needed to get away from the three feet of snow in my yard. Not that I am complaining because I love how pretty it looks all white and this winter has reminded me of winters when I was a kid with snow piles everywhere that you can sled on it just has been VERY cold as well. So I packed the girls up in the car and we headed south. We just had a fun time eating, swimming, fighting over Jack's bumble and of course the talent show. I was so proud of Ellie and Luke. They put the whole thing together. They had the idea and put the sign-up sheet on the fridge, enlisted the judges, made the crowns and trophies and last put not least put together a really amazing routine the included juggling, dancing, and singing! It was just really amazing to me that the kids went to the park and golfing on Monday morning and Tuesday morning when I took Ellie to school it was -12!!! Thanks to Chelsea and Max for putting up with the mess and kids. We have such a great family! We really missed those who were not able to make it. Maybe next time.

He's Official
For those of you who do not know, Tim won the election last November for the Francis Town council. He was sworn in last Tuesday, January 15th and now the work has begun. They put him in charge of the sewer system, (that stinks!) Right now that is the hottest topic in Francis, next to the opposition of the LDS church being built. It also has some perks. He gets to attend a water convention in St. George at the end of February and spouses are allowed to attend. So while he and Greg are in meetings all day Robbin and I will play or scrapbook! I am so proud of Tim. He is so well liked in our community and now he can be know for something other than the dance teachers husband, so he says! He also has finished the second studio in the basement and all the trim and base and case. With all his projects nearing an end he has had some time to do a little ice fishing. The first time in two years!!!
