Fasten Your Seat belts

We are approaching December at a high rate of speed so fasten your seat belts and hang on. I don't even know where November went but I do know we went through it because I vaguely remember turning 61 years old and then something about mom taking a tumble in the Safeway parking lot, Thanksgiving at the church, eating a little - and I do stress little - bit of turkey, a laugh out loud game of family fued, Austin's successful heart surgery, Haley & Matt's beautiful wedding, and on the very last day of November, two new beautiful babies born into the family. Preston Chamberlain and Aleana Bisnett. Whew!!! I know December is going to fly by as fast because the calendar is already filled with work, parties, programs, birthdays and Christmas celebrations. If it wasn't for the work I would half way enjoy my job, and even though it consumes me to my very core, as God as my witness I am going to enjoy the month of December. I'm going to take a deep breath, laugh alot more, stress a little less, sleep the whole night, and keep in mind what is most important this time of year. Its all about the birth of our Savior, being with family, and giving yourself permission to shop till you drop. Happy December everyone! Enjoy it before its gone!!

Thanksgiving!

I really think this blog should be turned over to someone less busy and stressed than me. Well, who should that be. I know, I know, everyone is busy and stressed! There are many exciting things happening in the family right now. Haley's wedding Nov. 26th, Levi & Dania's baby, sadly Austin's surgery which we are all praying for his fast recovery, and November has more family birthday's than any other month! We also have Thanksgiving coming up. Which we are having at the church this year. The main food has been assigned and we are asking the married grandkids to bring salads and side dishes. Whatever you have brought other years is just great. I think the traditional Cox-Martinez football game is still on. I myself have never gotten to see it - but maybe this will be the year. We have many things to be thankful for this year. Our family is growing and when all is said and done is there anything more important in this life than family!! I love you all!!!
