Diana!

Diana is married to Craig. She is the sweetest person and loves her family very much. We are truely blest to have her in our family. Diana has three brothers and two sisters. While growing up she moved around the country with her family and even lived in Canada for a while. We are lucky that her family settled in Utah so her and Craig could meet. They actually met on line and fell in love. They have had two children but sweet Baily is with Heavenly Father.

• Diana works at Super Cuts
• Has her own vinal letter boutique called Baily Girl Boutique
• She serves in the Nursery at Church

Craig

Craig lives in Utah with his cute wife Diana. They have an adorable little boy named Cooper. I love watching all the boys when they get together. They are so funny! David isn't in the picture but they are in his room! He was probable off somewhere with Ayla. ;) Craig has always been a fun kid. I still see him as that cute little boy running around and trying to do everything his big brothers did.

• Has worked at IFA for two and a half years
• Going to school at Steven Heniger in the field of Medical Specialties
• Loves going to the games with Dad and the boys
• Loves being a dad!

David has been very happy lately. He came home from his mission in 2007 and seemed lost for awhile. He's got things going from him now. He has always been fun to be around and even if no one else was laughing, Denise would be. He just makes her laugh.

• He is working at Advocates for Inclusion (AFI)
• He teaches Sunday School in the Singles Ward
• You seldom see him without Ayla Powel by his side. We all love her!

Denise

Denise came in and looked at the blog. I told her I was going to talk about each of the kids and their families starting with Lynne. She jokingly told me that she was always last. I thought about it today and she really is. She is the most patient person I have ever known. She was the last one to come into our family but I think it was because she was so special. I've always thought how she has always gotten along with everyone one of us and how much she has had to put up with all her older brothers. Not only did she put up with them but she's done it with adoring love toward them. I love her patietience, loyalty, and kindness toward others. I decided to start with her first.

Denise:

• Works at Seagul Book Store
  
• She has a lot of fun with her friends . . . movies, hanging out, even taking a trip to Salt Lake with them last summer.
  
• She serves as the activities chairman in the Singles Ward

Deborah's spot light for 2009

This has been a good year for me.

• I have enjoyed the grandchildren more. I even learned how to make really cute bows for the girls hair. We took Mary and Joelle to Build-A-Bear for their birthdays and I went and spent a couple days with Ty and Lucas. That was fun.
• I'm not going to tell you how old I turned on my birthday like I did Roger, but I will say that I have been working at South Middle School for 14 years. I have been in the library for the last two and a half years. I work with a really great lady named Judy and enjoy going to work every day.
• I was released as the Primary President and put in as the Valiant 10 (same age group but is now called Valiant 9's this year) I love this calling . . . no stress just teaching the children.

Roger's Spot light for 2009

I have to admire all you that actually get your Christmas letters out before Christmas! It never seems to happen in this household. By the way, I have loved reading all of your letters. I love hearing about what your families are up to and seeing the pictures of you and your children. I also love the blogs. I don't leave very many comments but I still love logging on and reading your posts.

To make this a little shorter I thought I would spot light each member/family in my blog. I'll do a couple at a time so I can get through everyone before 2011! I try to stick to three events, happenings, interests, etc. or it gets way too wordy.

I'll start with the oldest and that just so happens to be Dad (Roger).

• He turned 60 . . . . Wow!
• He played more golf this year with the kids and had more time to do things around the house. Not missing Broadmore any more.
• Speedy Deliver! Driving truck (FedEx), and last summer he worked part time at Purple Sage and gave lessons out at River Bend
• He is currently serving in the YM's as the Priest Quorum Advisor

Gabrielle's Blessing

Sunday was Gabrielle's blessing day. Stephanie took some pictures for them. They are such a cute family. Gabrielle is very blessed to be in this home! Grandma Cray made the blessing dress and it was so beautifull. Jennilynn loved and appreciated it so much.
