Thanksgiving 2008 at Joe & Laurie's.

John brought RAndee home for the holiday. She is enjoying playing the organ, exercising and eating leftovers.

Carson loved the high chair idea but what about that PINK Bib! Grandpa and one of his favorite people.

Joe was tireleass on the cleanup. David and Melanie brought over Carson. John drove Scott's new Honda to Boise.

I need Lesson 101 for labeling these pictures. Gabe (minus 40 lbs) is back from Samoa. He is going to the Single's WArd in Kayville, doing correspondence from a difficult looking physics book. Steve goes M and Th to classes at BYU in Salt Lake City. He plans to start the mission process at Christmas time.

I need Diane to help me with this blog but I am doing my best.

Randee

While the "girls" (Jenn, Mel, Katie, and myself) were wedding dress shopping on Saturday, we snuck over to Distribution Center to see if Randee was working. She volunteers there every Saturday morning/afternoon for about 4 hours. It was a busy place and we searched on tip toes peering through the crowd trying to find her. Sure enough we found Sister Gabrielsen in the picture area. All workers are dressed in their Sunday best with name tags that remind me of a missionary tag. I think this picture is so cute because it captures Randee describing with her left hand, which she so often does when conversing.



She was trying to choose an appropriate picture of Mount Timpanogos and framing to match for Jenn's wedding present. It ended up being a family decision since neither Randee or I or very good at making up our minds. We ended up choosing something else, but it was fun to see Randee in uniform and action.




I slipped over to Randee's placefor a few hours on Sunday morning. Her condo was warm and inviting, pleasantly decorated in tans and maroons, organized and clean . The most recent additions is a Yamaha piano and a computer desk that neatly houses her computer and keyboard. Here is a picture of Randee playing her new piano, it beautiful with very rich tones. I wished I could have stayed longer before Randee was whisked off to church.

Kylee and Hannah--Get With It!

Randee and Kylee show off the "Turning Twenty
quilt that K made while visiting in Boise.

If Kylee won't post a blog, I guess we will have to do it for her. Hannah is wearing her "Denae" blouse!

Randee and Family Gatherings

No one enjoys being part of the action at events such as a wedding, missionary return, or birthday celebration than loyal Randee. You can always plan on her presence at whatever event you have planned . She will support you even though it is not always easy for her to get there.
