Christmas Day by Megan

Hey this is Megan. For Christmas I got a digital camera and here are some of the pictures I took!

Merry Christmas

MerRy Ho hO!
It's now after 7am, snow is falling, and I am the only one up. It's kinda nice having teenagers, they all want to sleep in. And by all means, I am letting them sleep! Besides that, all they wanted for Christmas this year is money. How easy can that be. I hope everyone has a super day and please don't forget why we celebrate Christmas. Love you all.

Grandma's Home

We are so glad that Grandma is home safe and sound. Shawn's mom has spent the last 4 months in Nepal. She had a wonderful experience and told us that she would go back in a minute. She is a RN and she went to Nepal to help the people. I can't wait to see pictures and hear more stories. We love you Grandma, and we are so glad to have you home. ((((((((hugs)))))))))

My Daddy :)

This is a birthday tribute to my cute little daddy! Happy Birthday, Dad. For many years we have celebrated his birthday on the 12th of December. It wasn't until a few years ago that my grandmother told us that it was actually on the 11th. Two of my brothers have already called him tonight to wish him a happy day, the rest will call tomorrow. As for me, I will dedicate this blog to him tonight and then call him tomorrow.



He is such an awesome Dad, husband, grandfather, brother and best of all, FRIEND. So, Daddy.... !HaPpY BirThDaY!

Good News and Bad?

Tonight we had our ward Christmas party with great food. I liked it because I didn't have to cook or clean up.



Shawn and Scott looked like they were having a great time?????






I had Megan pose.







This is my friends little guy, Jake.
He could care less about Santa.







The good news...
After the party I came home and was looking at my e mails and saw one from my brother, Tony. He was interviewed by BYU-I to work in their Technology Department as a Technical Support Specialist in the Desktop Support Division. (boy, that's a mouth full) and...(drum roll) he got the job! Yahoo! I'm excited for him and his family. They will be moving from Montana to good 'ole Rexburg. I wish them the best of luck.

The bad news....
My other brother, Bryan is in the hospital and the doctors don't seem to know what is wrong. He and his family recently moved from Virginia to Hawaii to serve 3 more years in the military. They have ruled out that it could be the "French Polio" that my younger brother, Kent had years ago. But his legs are still weak and can't seem to walk very well. So our prayers and well wishes are going to the Derricott boys at this time.

My other two brothers, David and Kent, are doing well. David is the Fire Chief in Mantua and Kent lives in Paradise. I just love my brothers! They are the best. I probably didn't think that while we were growing up, but years go by and you tend to rely on your family for love and support. And I'm glad they are mine.

New Color

Megan has been begging me to let her color her hair. I love her golden blonde hair, but she was determined to go darker. So I finally gave in and this is the end result. She loves it! Me, I'm not too sure. It will always fade and grow out, right?
