It's been a busy and fun year here. We went on a family vacation before Scott left on his mission. We went to The Grand Canyon, Zion's National Park and to Bryce Canyon. The weather was great and we had a fun time. It was very beautiful.

Doug is keeping busy at work and enjoys working with the youth in church. Tina is busy sewing and when not sewing on names and numbers for a sports company, she is busy sewing and taking care of her family. In March Tina was released from being a primary teacher and is now second counselor in the Primary. She really liked teaching the 4 years olds and misses it.

Jason got married to Mary Hammond on October 23, 2004.

Scott worked for Macey's until July. He is now serving a mission in Baltimore Maryland area. He's thoroughly enjoying his missionary experiences and enjoys being in Maryland.

Rachel is in the ninth grade and loves school. She also enjoys being an only child. She especially enjoys not being teased constantly by her brothers and sister. It now happens only when they come to visit. Rachel couldn't wait for Jason to get married. She now has claimed his room. It's bigger downstairs.

Have a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
