Merry Christmas 2019!


Hello friends and family! It is time to update the blog! I say this every year, but this year I mean it! 2020 is my lucky year(20 is my favorite number!) So, I am using it as my deadline! The picture below is actually what we look like today! We had a nice Sunday church service with Caden getting antsy even though it was only 1 hour!

Jeff and I went on a date to see a movie and this was the beautiful tree out front. 

Other Happenings to catch up on!



 Caden and Matthew spend a lot of time together! They are good buddies!
 Bryce and Mom have a subway date to celebrate good grades!
 Kelly Still runs when she is not exhausted from school and subbing!
 The family took a trip to Utah to be with ALL the Markers for Thanksgiving. It was wonderful!


Every grandkid and the 3 newlywed couples were there!
 Jeff's Mamita from Chile was in town and they were able to reconnect. It was very special. 

 The dinner with the family was the Sunday before Thanksgiving and the Monday morning, Dallin and Kelly hopped on a plane so Dallin could be back from basketball. We used the time to get some work done! Here's Dallin and Cassie painting over the purple!

 Jessica Malan was kind enough to invite us over for dinner. 


 To take a break from the chores and to feel closer to my dad on November 30th, I spent the night at Ranell's condo by myself and then met up wtih Nicki Davis and her family for a beautiful hike. It was just what I needed!

 Jeff had put up the first level of lights, which was awesome, but Caden begged for more, so on a beautiful dry day, Ranell braved the roof with me and we added to it!
Kelly finished her first semester of classes in her MAT program at Concordia University! She is loving it! Here is some of her cohort attempting to study together. 

It was a little late in the year, and there was a shortage of trees, but we finally cut one down!

 Fun Cookie Decorating party with amazing women!!! These are women I know mostly from running and they have each touched my life! (and they are amazingly talented!


 I was able to help in Caden's class!
