Phelps's Visit

Happy New Year Everyone! We spent the end of 2009 enjoying the company of Uncle Rick, Aunt Janelle, and their kids. Thanks for coming guys; we had a blast! Some of the fun things we got to do include seeing The Princess and the Frog, eating at the southernly hospitable Uncle Buds (where some of us bold ones sampled frog legs and alligator), driving the beautiful Nachetz Trace, playing games, watching fun movies, eating good food, shopping, etc...Fun Times

Here is Alyssia eating a frog leg!!

Here is Kendra and Julie at Jackson's Falls on the Trace

Julie and Jenni made a beautifully Delicious cheesecake for New Years Eve. It was GOOD!!!

Needless to say we all had a BLAST!

Mark Engaged!

Hey again. Just wanted to post some be-lated exciting news. Mark is officially engaged! On December 19th 2009 he asked Taryn Craft to be his for time and eternity and she accepted! We are all bubbled with excitement. Welcome to the family Taryn!!! Right now we're planning on a Spring wedding. "Oh they say when you marry in Spring...." (errr uh..it's something like that. Those who have seen Seven Brides for Seven Brothers should catch on.)

Jenni and Julie Home for the Holidays

Hey there family. This is our first attempt at a family Blog! Yea. Now on those rare days where you find nothing to occupy your time, you can come visit our little family down in Tennessee and familiarize your intellect with the hum drum events our southern life. :) Welcome.

Right now we've just been enjoying having Jenni and Julie home for the holidays. They are both currently attending LDS Business College and pursuing their associates degrees in general studies. They are living with the Allen Clan (thanks Allen Clan!!!) and loving every minute of it. They flew home December 9th and we get to keep them until January 11th! We have been making the most of it by watching our favourite movies, playing mafia, eating holiday confections, staying up late, and modeling our pajamas throughout the house almost all day long. What can we say except life is good.
