The Hilton's latest delivery!



Introducing...... Reese Catherine Hilton!















Here is Jamie while she was at the hospital. Apparently, this shot was while she was at the beginning of the labor! She did an amazing job giving birth to our second grand daughter.






Here we are, the birthing coaches of Jamie. What a spiritual experience to be there to see the latest member of our family enter into this world! What a blessing she will be to all of us..


This is Jamie and Conrad at home, just one day after Reese was born. Showing their badges of honor!

Fun with friends from Enumclaw


Doris and I with our two pregnant daughters! Jamie is due a little sooner than Wendi is! Saturday we will be welcoming the newest Hilton baby!!

Wendi's beautiful Christmas tree! It should be in the festival of the trees! The Christmas season is right around the corner....
Last night we went over to Wendi and Chad Erikson's and had dinner with their family and with the Butler's, too! What a fun evening eating yummy soups, breads and apple crisp.

Friends that I am thankful for....



A new friend I made since I've been back, Judy and two of her kids. She was my visiting teacher and I love her family...


The Bertolina's have been a big part of our lives in the seven years we have been in the zoo~ Janeen and Jocelyn are truly amazing women!



Another person I am thankful for... Lisa, she has been such a true friend and loves my girls dearly.





Sonja & Bryn are such awesome friends. We celebrated several Christmas Eve's with her family. She has had three babies since I have known her!!!











Here are a few of my young women that I love dearly... Jocelyn, Jenny and Kelly






Lindsey and her girls, who are adorable... I worked with her for a couple of months in Young Women's!












Mandy & Cade are wonderful. I was there at Mandy's baptism & she watched the girls while we went on a trip when we first moved there!











My dear Gloria, a neighbor that I will never forget...





and of course, Tim and Darla our football and tennis buddies!!








Happy Thanksgiving


I have so many things to be thankful for. I'm grateful for an awesome family, wonderful friends, a healthy body, beautiful grand darlings, the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life, the scriptures, food & clothing, and a job for my husband. I want to thank all of those who have prayed for our family this year as I'm so thankful for the gift of prayer. I know that it truly works and blesses each of us as we put our faith in our Father in Heaven & Jesus Christ. Enjoy the season whether it be with family or friends, both are blessings that will last for eternity.

Super Duper!



Have you recently had a Super Duper day? I wanted to share with you my Super Duper day. This is a phrase that has been reintroduced to me by Kylie (my granddarling, who is soon to be a big sis!) Candy, my "new" old neighbor and I went out on a mission yesterday as she was helping me put a special something together for our kids for Christmas! (don't you love Christmas suprises??)
We traveled the county and visited some fun places! We laughed our guts out and even tail gated at Ritter's (a custard/ice cream shop). Thanks, Candy for a Super-Duper last MOnday in Michigan. I only have two more full days here and then I'm off to the west! To all of my Super Duper friends out here in Michigan, young and more mature, I will always love you and will miss you truly.

The Clark family


Here is one of my most favorite families in the universe. Of course, they are family but each one of these people mean so much to me. Camaron (the Young man on the upper right) just got home from serving an honorable mission in California. He has grown a ton and we are all so proud of him because of all the good he did not only for others but for all of his family! He has an incredibly strong testimony of our Savior and wants to share the gospel with everyone~ love this boy.... Then there is Brandon who is the Young man to the left and he is preparing to leave for his mission to Mexico City in December. I was priviledged to attend the temple with Brandon and his parents, grandparents and close friends. What an honor that was. Brandon will follow in his brother and father's footsteps in serving the Lord with all of his might, I know this and believe that Brandon is such a special boy. He is very compassionate and has such a good heart and obedient way. Brandon you will bless the people in Mexico and once again your family with your service. I could go on and on about each one of the Clark's but just wanted to give a special shout out to the "boys" in the family. No offense to Joe :) As I do love all of you so dearly.
