Family dinner/Hike

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"-- Eccl 12:1

 The family dinner at my parents house was a blessed one. It was so good to see so many of my relatives, it becomes less frequent every year that we get together. Growing up, there was always a birthday dinner or just a gathering. All of us cousins running around while the aunts and uncles told stories, laughed, times have changed, many loved ones have passed on, moved away, now it's our kids running around and were sitting talking! Where did the time go?? My two aunts, sis Jenny, cousin Raquel, and my momma.

 Jim feeding baby Miranda, he's going to be such a great daddy some day, I'm accepting applications, and a extensive questionaire!!

 Coco busted out her make-up kit and nail polish, she had many willing aunties...

 Jim and my dad know a lot of our Native language and some of our traditional songs, so they sang their latest, it was awesome!

 Right after their song this baby Owl flew and perched on a branch near us! We were all blown away

 My babies, I'm trying to live in the moment, but I look at this shot and I know how fast time will fly!

Please pray for our Valley I can't remember a time I have visited and the White's, Sierras have not been covered in snow, they are bare this year, Mammoth has mostly man made snow, I've been planning to take little John skiing, but every one is advising me against it! IT's very icy, our friend who works at the hospital said in one hour four broken limb patients, came in from the Mountain! So I may just go up their and check it out, don't want to waste a ton of money to ski on Ice! Have a blessed day, Shirley
