Merry CHRISTmas!

This is our nephew, Josh. He was having a good time!


Here is sweet Teresa at the Spilkers, where we enjoyed our CHRISTmas Eve (despite the crazy snow storm that tried to kill us on the way there!).




At the Flamm Christmas party Grandpa Bryce made his way to the front of the room and expressed his gratitude and wonder at the blessings of having such a great family.

He said that when you get to his stage of life (and probably even after this life) you look back and see a lot of things that you wish you would have done more. Then he said, "There are a lot of things I wish I had done more - except having kids....we have plenty of those!"

Here is our cute little

Christmas tree in our

living room.

The kids were all cute during the Nativity, and John and Melissa were a great Joseph and Mary. Ben (my little brother) was the sheep with the black gloves for paws...pretty funny looking!

Few weeks of pictures

Here is a picture of the school I hope to attend in NE Portland.

And here is the beautiful Portland Temple!

Joe & Mindy at the Ranch over Thanksgiving.

And here is the first field after the third river.

to begin

Thought I'd start this out with a bang. Teresa and I just got back from Portland, OR where we visited Western States Chiropractic College (I'm applying there this semester). It was beautiful and fun, but I want to always have short entries so - to get to the point: here is a video of a side trip we took up to Washington on Saturday!
