Friday Celebrating B-Days at Leatherbys

We had fun celebrating Chad's, Ellie's and Logan's birthdays while we were all together. We went to Leatherbys for some ice cream. We had fun stuffing ourselves with ice cream. Happy birthday you three.

Surprise Email Thanksgiving Night

This is an email and pictures I receive Thanksgiving night. It was just an added bonus to the wonderful day that I had being with my kids and their families

Dear Fowlks Family,
On this Thanksgiving, I wanted to reach out and send you a short note to let you know that we are indeed thankful for your sacrifice in allowing your son to serve as missionary in our ward. Even though Elder Fowlks has been away from home for an extensive period of time,undoubtedly on family holidays such as today, his presence is missed.Therefore, after dinner in my home yesterday, I took the liberty to snap a few photos of him and his companion that I have attached to this email for your enjoyment. As the ward mission leader, I have the privilege of being able to regularly go out and teach investigators with the missionaries. During my outings with the missionaries, I have been truly impressed by Elder Fowlk's diligence in doing the work, his desire to serve, and his love for the people and the Savior. From these experiences, I have concluded that he must surely come from goodly parents. My family's membership in the church is a direct result of diligent missionaries like your son and so we are eternally grateful for their service. So thank you once again and may you have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving Fun

We all stuffed ourselves with Turkey, dressing, rolls and more. It was fun being together as a family and visiting many other family members while in SLC. We are thankful for the family that we are.

WHERE'S DANO

I am Thankful For.......

Desirae: Who is my oldest, thankful for her organizational skills. She keeps our family cemented together (guess that comes from being the oldest) she is very energetic, always doing or making something. She is a wonderful wife and mother of 4. (and she lives to far away)

Brittany: Who falls second in command, she is right there with Desirae in keeping the family together (as much as we can be, when we are spread out.) Thankful for her fun spirited personality, fun to have around. Very concerned about family members. She to is a wonderful wife and mother of 2.

Danette: Third in line or as it stands the Middle Child. Thankful for her easy going personality. She has been my quietest, still is. She has always been the peacemaker. She has always been my most practical child. She is very talented in many ways. She is a wonderful wife and mother of 2 as well. (and she lives to far away.)

Daniel: Fourth in the line up and only BOY. Right now I am very Thankful for the man he is becoming. He as well has a very fun spirited personality, always making people laugh. That is the one thing his sisters hated the most, that when they were mad at him he would make them laugh and then they would be even more mad at him because he made them laugh. Can't wait.... 5 1/2 months til he is home.

Sharise: My fifth and last or in other words my BABY:) I am thankful for her love and concern for me. She knows that I have a hard time with knowing, that dreaded empty nest is coming way to fast and she is always concerned about me. It has been very different for her growing up in a emptier house than the older girls, but she has fared well.

Last but not least, I am thankful for my wonderful husband, who is very patient with me. He has always been the provider for this family so that I could stay home with the kids as they grew and I am thankful for that. He has worked very hard for his family. He is a great DAD! He also has that fun spirited personality (except for when playing games and he is not winning) We have had 32 1/2 great years together and intend on having many many more!!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL and I pray that you will continue to be patient with me as I continually learn to be a better wife and mother and grandmother which I am in training for right now. (I figure if I don't have the mother thing down I am probably to late.)

Bunnies Bunnies Bunnies

This is our new little visitor that comes
and visits us once and a while. A couple of months ago we had two big bunnies that would stop by our house and see us, we haven't seen them in awhile but now we have this little guy that comes his colors are a mix between the two that used to come around so I think that they must have had little ones. He is so quick that I had to be quick to get a picture of him.

This is for Aubrey

This is Elder Rex he is awesome, he is the one holding the plate of cookies that I sent to him last Valentines day. He will be home sometime in March we will keep in touch.
