mission calls

Dallin and his dad shortly after he received his mission call to the Las Vegas, Nevada Spanish speaking mission. He entered the MTC on December 3, 2008.

We received our mission call not long after Dallin. We leave on December 29, 2008 for the Micronesia Guam Mission. We will be serving on the small island of Kosrae and can be reached
at gandsfoote@gmail.com or at P.O. Box 186; Tofol, Kosrae; Micronesia 96944. We would love to hear from you!

Thanksgiving

Dallin and our cousin Doug set up a tight rope in the yard 

Anna was a natural

Dallin helped all the young kids try walking the tight rope
Maddie almost made it across
Tanner wasn't quite as luckyEven grandma tried...oops!
Grandpa cheered everyone on
Meanwhile, inside, Linnae cut Gordon's hair


Ellie helped Grandma in the kitchen
Sarah and LeeAnn worked in the kitchen
We feasted on turkey, ham, salads, veggies, rolls, potatoes of all sorts and plenty of desserts

The best part was on Sunday.  No family holiday with everyone home would be complete without a photo...how often do you get all 26 of us together at one time?!

Blogging Beginnings

Sarah has just helped me set up a blog so that we can log our family activities. This past week Gordon and I went to Anthem, Arizona for Georgia's baptism. We enjoyed their family and were happy to be there for such a special occasion.
