Caleb loves to sing.

Well, the kids do funny things all the time, but I usually forget to record them until its not a good time or I forget. So, I thought I would write this right now before I miss the chance.

Caleb loves to sing, he sings along with almost any song he can. On the way home for a family skating trip, we were listening to Hooty and the Blowfish song "Hold My Hand" (I think that's the name). Caleb started singing along except he modifies the chorus to "Hold My Hair" over and over.

Love You

HAPPY HOLIDAY

I can't belive that Christmas is almost here, about seven days-WOW!..I guess I better go get something for Mom.. The weather has been very cold for us who live in Washington County.. I know it isn't even close to Salt/Davis Co. or Colo..But it's still colder than I like.. but it is starting to warm up during the day and that is just fine with me and Mom.. I look forward to seeing everyone at Christmas time .or at least those who are coming this year.. Mom drove up to northern Ut. this past week end and took our truck up so she could take a thing we got for Christi and Chris.. She had clear roads for the trip on Friday.. but sunday when see and Jan went to attend the christmas program for the Spoken Word she spun out and took out a mail box and was very blessed to have missed a couple other thing that could have damaged the truck.. Bless Chet's heart he come to her rescue and help dig her out and took the truck back to their place while Jan and mom went on to Salt to the program.. They got there and back with some effort.. the storm was bad enough that Mom stayed until Monday before she started for home ... Just as she got off the freeway the truck started to give her problems with the transmission slipping etc..She called and told me about so I called the toyota shop and took it in tues morning the put it on the computer and found there is a chipped senser or sosmething like that.. so they made some adjustments for now and ccontacted the CO toyota tech to see how they want them to proceed.. I should find something out in the next couple of days[i hope].. Well it is late and I have to be up early so I can get to my 8am dentist appointment to have a new crown put on one of my back tooth.. I can hardly wait.. I love each of you all very much, may you all have the very special blessing from the Lord and the peace he offer us all... Love DAD

Monsoon

we got a taste of winter in AZ last night. We had a nasty wind storm roar in sometime around 9 or 10 last night and blew all morning. The power went out all night, and the rain was coming in sideways. It was as bad as the video feeds I've seen of tropical storms or Hurricanes. It was amazing! Trees were torn down all over, and stuff blown everywhere; with the power out we were afraid we were going to have to throw out a bunch of food from the fridge, but it still seemed to be cold when whe got up, so thank heaven for small blessings. Life on the base is interesting. I had my first experience with the national anthem today. Each day at 5 pm they play the national anthem after reveille, and all active duty personnel in uniform have to stop (if driving our outside) and stand at attention, and ALL traffic, military or otherwise has to stop as well. It was an amazing thing to stand there with my hand on my heart and feel as if the whole world had come to a stand still. Seems like we'd all appreciate this country more if we all did that during our day.
Love from AZ
