Happy New Year 2011

The holiday bustle is over and I can finally sit down and reminisce over the events of 1020. Our family has been greatly blessed through the ups and downs of daily life. We are often reminded that this mortal existence is just part of the whole of eternity, which makes us more and more committed to follow the Savior that we might be worthy to be with Him and our Father in Heaven when we leave this life.

Boyd & Bonnie are still living in North Ogden, UT. We have been blessed with two new granddaughters this year. Sarah Lucinda Shelton was born to Nathan and Eve Shelton in California and son, Richard and Becca Shelton had their first child, Nicole Keana Jean Shelton, in Indianapolis, IN.

In Nov. we celebrated the life of our son, Marcus, 38, who passed away in Boise, ID. We appreciate his wonderful wife of fifteen years, Colleen Mahoney Shelton. We cherish the time we had with him and the important place he holds in our family.

Our daughter, Jenny, married her sweetheart, Matthew Davis, on Dec. 29, 2010, in the Mt. Timpanogus Temple. We had a wonderful day with family and friends despite the weather.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to Family and Friends

Todd, Heather with Brienna (almost 10), and 2 yr old twins, Breydon and Bethany were here from Washington.
Mic & Libby are here in Ogden and we enjoy having them for dinner every other Sunday.
Marcus & Colleen just moved into their new home in Meridian, ID, and we were able to visit them the first weekend in Dec. We love them here for Christmas.
