Davis Christmas party was to have been on Monday the 21st, but due to the massive (6 inches) of snow that fell in American Fork and other areas we put it off until the 22nd.

Jeff didn't like his turn being shortened by jill

Grandpa's turn



Grandma tried sitting on the box to break a seal to see what was inside of the 9 boxes wrapped and set inside each other. Kate was the winner of the five dollars. Lots of fun!







So Much snow so far this year Steve & Davis trying to break the distance record from natalie & Mackenzie. Davis, Kate, Kira & Kenzie sledding on the 26th.

With al of the snow, Davis went for the record sized snowball in our backyard.

Great Christmas Present

For all of you that read the blog, here is some great news. Cindy is expecting! No, not an alien but a little baby... Tentative due date is July 19th. I thought I would announce on blog since it is not perused that much and thought this would be a fun way to announce. Please don't pass on the info to others. I want siblings to only find out about it by reading blog. :-)

As you can image, we are excited. While this was some what planned - meaning we wanted another child as soon as it made sense physically, emotionally, mentally etc... - we still had to let nature take it's course. It appears this little spirit, like Celeste, just did not want to wait so he/she is on the way. Let's pray Novell insurance is still in place come July and that baby is healthy. Those are our only prerequisites.... past that.. a boy would be lovely... but I can handle another girl if that is to be. Ta Ta For Now (TTFN).

Angkor Wat-Cambodia

A few pics of Angkor Wat Temple Complex, and a couple shots of the floating village. Hundreds of villages live on the water of Tonle Sap, a huge lake in Central Cambodia. The Mekong river backs up and floods the lake every year, so the water rises and falls about twenty feet. Chanda couldn't stand the poverty of the lake people, and insisted that we buy school supplies for the "floating" school. Of course the "floating" store completely ripped us off, but the kids got their books and pencils.
