December in Arizona

December 5th brought news that Manda and Bren are separating.
She has moved into another house, and things are very civil and amicable.
It will all work out for the best.  Cash is a top priority for sure. 

Manda and the three best friends you could ever ask for

Cash still goes to Preschool, three days a week

Making Gingerbread houses

And ornaments

Zeke is smiling up a storm :) 

Christmas boat parade on Dobson Lake.  They were able to watch it from Jessica and Marvin's house that is right on the water. 

Cash's Christmas Tree

So much fun to get these pics in a text :) 

The lights at Dobson Ranch are pretty spectacular !! 

Tagg went to Bearizon - up north near Flagstaff

Such sweet boys

Merry Christmas 2025 - The Cox Family

Cash got two new kitties.  He named the boy Steve, and the girl, Alex.  He got the names from the Minecraft Movie (his favorite). 

Cash went with Bren, and Big (cousin) Dave on the Polar Express !!

Got to meet Santa too 

What an adventure !!!

Matching PJ's 

Loving bath time

Cam and Josiah traded in her car for a Honda Van.
I guess they are officially GROWN UPS now (haha)

 

Someone is THREE months old :) 

New Year's Eve - firework time !!!
See you NEXT year !!! 

December in Richville

 

Rog and I snuck down the South Salt Lake, and got a picture of the building that Landon and Treyson work in (when they have to go in to the office)

Beautiful tree  - CJ does such a beautiful job. 

Tagg and Thatcher helped to move Landon's family. 

Treyson is still working hard at getting his body in shape for a show. 

Th Utah Islander's out of Herriman offered Tagg a spot on their football team.  He still hasn't made an official decision though. 

See what I mean..............

Treyson ended up with another cat. 

Tagg got his knee repaired, on crutches for a week, and taking it easy for 8 weeks. 
Good thing he didn't end up wrestling (for many reasons) - but it is hard to not have him there too. 

Zac's "card" for CJ's birthday.  

Tagg and Bo - Christmas memories

Zac's been taking pallets apart, and making up packets of firewood. 

Zac had a tumbleweed infestation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

We helped get them all loaded up and down to the burn pile. 

December for me and Rog

I'm still working at the temple, and only worked the first three weeks in December, because the last two weeks fell on Christmas and New Year's Eve, so the temple was closed. 

Roger and I bought some Christmas wreaths and poinsettias to put on the graves at the cemetery.  We used two of the shepherd hooks from the Property to put the wreaths on.  We'll do this every year for Mom and LuAnn. 

Erika gave Mom and I some tickets to see Frozen at the Hale Center theater.  We enjoyed it very much !! 

We met Erika and Eli at Subway in South Salt Lake before the performance, and had lunch.  

We had Roger P. bring in two more loads of dirt, and Travis Naffziger smoothed them out some more.  We put a pallet in place over the box so animals (deer) wouldn't fall in.  We'll get working on the metal grates this spring.  This has been such a mild winter.  I'm afraid we're going to be hurting for water come summer.  

My poor tree didn't get any more decorated than these wonderful ornaments sent from AZ.   

Got my nails done on December 23rd, and could feel a sickness coming on.  I was DOWN AND OUT for almost TWO WEEKS.  Totally spoiled our Christmas.  

Roger delivered all of our gifts, and I just stayed home.  CJ had this quilt made for Roger, what a special present :)  

On the 29th, I still wasn't feeling my best, but we went to see SONG SUNG BLUE at the theater.  We really enjoyed it.

Filling the trailers

Pays really likes to hang with his cousins

Facetiming with Bentley at her new house :) 

One of the first things, was to get Christmas lights put up on the house. 

On her way to Dance - its about as far from Morgan to the mouth of the canyon, as it was from West Haven to the mouth of the canyon. 

This girl LOVES to Dance

They had a really great Christmas with family.
