Lady Eagles.....BJH Basketball

Our little Cheerleader decided to try out for the girls Basketball

team and MADE IT!!! She is so talented and awesome.

We have loved watching her play ball.

She is doing amazing and having so much fun with her 

friends. Way to go BJH Lady Eagles

She did jam her finger pretty bad, but is recovering over

the 5 day holiday (Martin Luther King Day)

and will be ready to play Wednesday.

Lady Eagles played awesome and had a lot of fun.

The first play off game Berklie was able to cheer

while her team WON the game and advanced onto the 

second playoff game. Sadly they lost, but had such a great time

bonding as a team and having a great time. I know we had to talk

Berklie into trying out, but she has loved playing so much. Proud of her

for trying something new.

 

Elder Fox returns home/Happy Birthday Peyton!!

December has been an emotion, faith building month 

for many reasons.

Elder Fox has been struggling on his mission and has 

done a lot of praying and has decided that returning home

is what he needs to do. He sits in his apartment all day on

Facebook and is struggling with some anxiety and I know

depression, and as parents we know that he needs to come home.

It was a hard decision, but we feel very blessed to have an

amazing Stake President that has been such a support

to our family. Elder Foxs mission president is a very nice man

and has a lot of his plate, and we are thankful for all he has done

for Peyton. He returned home on his 19th BIRTHDAY,

welcome to adulthood!!

Our ward members and friends have also been so amazing

and have engulfed Peyton in their hugs (virtual) and love and support.

I know he needs it and am thankful we have amazing ward members

and friends and family. 

A midst Peyton coming home Stockton got COVID :(( so 

he was in quarantine when Peyt got home.

So 10 days of quarantine meant no family for 

Christmas to grandparents, no parties just us. Which was awesome.

We needed our little family to be together and it was so nice.

Happy 19th Birthday Peyton we love you so much

and are so proud of you and all you do!!

 

4 down 20 to go!!

4 months down and 20 to go!

Our missionary is such an amazing example of working hard and 

not being afraid, Elder Fox is awesome.

We are so proud of him and can't wait to see where his next

transfers brings him. I know he is going where he needs to be

and can't wait to read his letters. 

The kids at home are doing awesome considering covid is still here

and doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.

Boys bball is the highlight with 9 wins 1 loss and playoffs are beginning

Berklie is trying out for girls Bball

Stockton is working and a manager of the VHS bball team

Dad is getting a new show room and mom

is just cleaning up after everyone!!

Here is to another month!!

 

Elder Fox Baptism

 Elder Fox and Dearden had a baptism today,

the spirit was so strong and we were able to watch via zoom!!

Elder Dearden baptized and the Elder Fox confirmed her.

What an amazing experience as a parent to watch a baptism of

a missionary. We have witnessed a lot of 8 year old baptisms, but convert

baptisms are amazingly spiritual and you can feel the love of our Savior.

I am so proud of Elder Fox for all his hard work and willingness

to do hard things.

Festival of Lights

 We went out to the Vanhille to have hot chocolate, treats

and talk about Lisa (on Lisa Day Dec 7th) then we went thru the Spanish Fork 

Festival of Lights. So much fun seeing the lights with family and 

enjoying the holidays together.

Decorations

 Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

I love decorating for the Holidays and this year we got

a REAL tree for the basement, it smells so good.

We used our homemade decorations for this tree and

I love it!!

Our favorite Missionaries stocking made it debut 

There is Christmas in the air!!

Coastal Carolina vs BYU

 

Coastal Carolina (our new favorite team) played BYU 

so we had to open our Christmas presents early.

Such a fun game to watch.

Elder Fox and his comp Elder Dearden walked around

ESPN Game Day and then GOT TICKETS from a 

BYU fan, needless to say they had a blast watching the game.

CC is a 10 min drive from their house.

They drove by the trucks yesterday and then ran into

Brandon Wood from our Stake for a picture.

Such an awesome experience for Elder Fox.
