Hope this year brings blessings and happiness to everyone!

Zach has transferred!

Hey Guys

Here's my NEW address!

3711 Shamrock West #K151
Tallahassee, FL 32309

From what i've heard from Elder Hammer, things are absolutely on FIRE here...the ward is huge, about ready to be split and the members love working with the missionaries. I think this is exactly what i've been needing! We've got lots of plans for the work here, we stayed up late last night just discussing different ideas and people that we want to work with. This is going to be great...thanks for all the support!!

Christmas in Oklahoma

Soccer Champs!

Just thought I'd post a picture of my indoor soccer team. We just won our second consecutive division championship. It is a co-ed league for ages 18+. Most of the teams we play are composed of mostly 18-25 year old players. As you can see, we have 3 of us who are over 40. We are in the lowest division of the co-ed league, but we have fun, and even get a bit of exercise. I have been playing for about a year now. I am my team's full-time goalie. I don't move like I used to, but they seem to put up with me. The team is entirely church members from different wards in the stake.

Couldn't Resist.....Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Songs from Janie and Meg

The girls did great at their Christmas Concert this year - just thought I'd share some of the highlights of their favorite songs. Love you all... and "We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" PS - we want to see lots of Christmas Day photos and video clips on the old bloggeroo, OK? Love you!

Sledding Pary in Provo Canyon

We had a good time at the Hatch's Happiness Hotel this weekend. Cathy's house is both beautiful and comfortable - she makes everyone feel so welcome! On Saturday we went to Provo Canyon to do some sledding. Here are some of the more spectacular crashes we enjoyed.


Katie, Justin, Meg, Josh, Henry, Heidi, and Sam all had particularly wonderful crashes. Kaitlyn loved going down on the tube... or maybe she was just laughing at all of the great spills! Merry Christmas!

Here they are!

Hi Everyone-
Here are a few recent pictures. Kaitlyn is so happy to have a pet kitten. I don't know how happy Bergy is having a 2-year-old to hang out with. He's very patient with her. Kaitlyn's new line is "oooo gross" (usually when she pulls something out of her mouth). It cracks us up. Cade is growing and growing. He is a happy guy.

Where in the world...

Are Cade and Kaitlyn Peterson!

We neeed new pictures!!!

A Message to Future Missionaries

If you haven't already, check out Zach's mission page. We put a video on there of him and his companion singing. We want all of our future missionaries to see some of the lighter side of missionary life. There is fun that happens too.

LeAnn's NEW parking spot

LeAnn has had a rather interesting week! In addition to her new calling and the many meetings that has included, she decided to park somewhere new and daring to shake up the neighborhood a bit!


Perhaps you can see in the first picture the slide marks that show where her car was determined to go into the canal even though she was turning the wheel the other way! And you know Woodville, everyone LOVES a parade! It was a "special treat" for our new Relief Society President - she hoped the car would be camoflagued, but... no luck.





Or, maybe the whole incident was planned.... maybe LeAnn did it for some secret purpose....




No worries - LeAnn is fine, her car is fine, but it was VERY funny.

Our Kitty had PUPPIES!

2 days old...

Two girls (white and black) and two boys (both black). It was a long vigil and we were up all night long, but they're hear and we LOVE them - a fun early Christmas present! As Meg says, it's AFROTASTIC!

(Meg gets a FRO from Retro Day at her school - I can't do "messy buns" or French braids, but I CAN do afros.)

LOVE YOU ALL!

Funny for the day.

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes." The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting." It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.

The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence.

The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What is the matter with you? Why did you do that?" The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today protecting America 's soldiers, who are protecting your right to say stupid crap, and act like an idiot. So, he sent me."

Ice Storm 2007

A few pictures to show why we are out of school today. So far we still have power... 400,000+ people are not so lucky. Dale is at Sysco and they are opening up the warehouse to families without power. He may be there for a long time feeding the masses.

They have generators there.

The sheet of ice that came off the back door when we opened the front door.

The grass... each blade encased in ice.

Our tree in the back yard. The branch is touching the ground and usually it's about 10 feet up.

Price Family Father Christmas

Hello, everyone!

Just in case I didn't mention this earlier, Father Christmas this year will be brought to you by...

The Hatch Family:
1035 N. 260 E.
Lehi, UT 84043

Please send your contributions to them ASAP. I don't know if they utilize PayPal, but you could call and ask! Mom and Dad said their ward in Germany is doing OK this year, and they would like the Hatchs to have this experience. SO - send in your stuff and have a Merry Christmas!

LOVE YOU ALL!

Funny School Story

A 4th grade girl came to the nurse today because she had something in her ear. The nurse had to call the mom to take her to the doctor to get it out. She had some paper in her ear. When we asked her how it got there, she said, "I was trying to do a magic trick." Guess something went wrong... LOL

We got them this far....

... this was the easy part! It's the NEXT 10 years that will be the making or breaking!

It was a great day, Saturday, when Janie joined the rest of our family as members of the Church. There was a very sweet and special spirit there. Bishop Kelley remembered Janie's struggles eight years ago in his remarks after she was confirmed a member. It was something I hadn't thought about in a while - just how far she has come.

We had a great day with everyone - we missed those who couldn't be there - but we'll see you ALL soon! Much love! Camille

ELF

Hey this is Jordan

I made this it is funny!!

http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1144390042

Can you guess who the people are??

Seeing is believing.

I decided to do some fall cleanup outside Friday, and in the process I lost a pair of my glasses. Glasses don't come cheap for me because they usually have to be special ordered, and they usually run in excess of $300. I had spent a couple of hours looking for them and I was just getting ready to come back in the house. I let the dogs out to do their business, and when they were done I jokingly told the dogs to help me find my glasses. They immediately put their noses to the ground and, well, you guessed it, one of the dogs, Blossom, found my glasses. I was still walking around looking at the ground, and she barked at me, in a way she had never barked before. I looked over at her, and she was sitting down next to the fence. She looked at me, then at the ground, then back at me again, but she didn't budge. I walked over to her, and she was sitting in front of my glasses. Can you believe that? If somebody had told me this story, I would have been like, "Sure your dog found your glasses".
Seeing is believing, and Blossom got a big chew bone as a reward for her efforts. Bailey got one too, for trying.

Go Vols & Sooners

What an exciting football day. Brian and Kathy, we thought of you as we switched back and forth to see the end of your game. That was just a little too intense. I was glad to have a big lead on OSU for the most part. I needed a little less excitement after the LSU/Arkansas game and then the Tenn/Kentucky game.

Can't wait for next Saturday. GO SOONERS!!

Thanksgiving in OK

The table... we were too busy eating to take any other pictures.

It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without olive fingers.

It's unseasonably warm here too.

It was 65 degrees here at eight A.M. this morning.

It's not too often, that you see Christmas trees sitting on a lot with green grass, that needs to be mowed.

Thanksgiving Wishes

Gail, Kathy's sister, wanted to be a part of the video, but she had to hold the camera. She's the one shouting, Action!

Oh, what do you do in the summertime.... or I mean November

Just cooling off on this 80 degree day.

They did say that it was a little cool.

Price Family Father Christmas

Hello everyone!

We are taking a BIG deep breath today - wrestling for Henry and Sam is over, my Class Act classes are over, the primary program is over, stake YW sports is over. I would love to fill you all in, share photos and video clips, but to be honest, right now I'm just so glad it's over that I don't even want to revisit it all or even look at the photos and video clips. I just want to breathe. Aaaaaahhhh.

And now for the HOLIDAYS! It's a great time of year and we are excited! Just over a month away and we haven't even started! So, we have a question for everybody.

We were wondering if Mom and Dad wanted to do Father Christmas in Germany again this year, or if we were going to keep it stateside. If it stays here, I believe it is the Hatch's turn.

Anyone have any thoughts about that? Post here or email me ASAP.

LOVE YOU ALL! Camille

Still alive in Tennesse.

Sorry about not posting in a long time.
It's amazing how much time school takes up.






This is Max, showing his latest relaxation technique.






Kathy and I were all decked out for the last home game of the season,against Vanderbilt.

Posting correction

Sorry I can't figure out how to edit my last post so here is the one were Kaitlyn tried hard to help feed the cat.

Trigger happy with the videos

So this post may be a bit much but this is just such a great time of life. We went to my sisters house a few weeks ago and Kaitlyn tried hard to help feed the cat.

She was very persistant.


Then at our halloween carnival she loved buzzing around.



Then she helped me rake up the leaves in the yard. She even helped me pack them down :)

Cutest kids

Sorry guys. Our computer crashed but we have a new one now. Cindy wanted a desk top and I wanted a lap top. The only compromise we could come to was to get both so now we have no more excuses since we each have internet access at all times :)It's been a fun few weeks. Love you all. Nate

Gotcha! Owen sings too!

Owen doing the Holmoe Happy Dance as seen on Zach's blog.

Just kidding.

Janie's baptism day is Saturday, December 1st at 10:00am. You're ALL invited to come and then stay for lunch afterwards and the premier of the limited release film, "Janie: The Director's Cut."

RSVP ASAP CYA TTFN TLA HAGS

Before the transition........

It's hard to believe this is the same person who Camille posted pictures of below.

Happy Halloween, Gosh!

When people ask me what I'm going to be for Halloween, I tell them, "Whatever I feel like, Gosh!"

We had a lot of fun at the family Halloween party! It was a good thing because the next day was a lot of work! The roof on the house is all but finished and the outside painting is done. Inside, there is some touch up painting left to do, the countertops, installing sinks, etc. and then clean up and carpet! The END IS NEAR! I'm hoping to send a video clip of everyone on the roof later today, but if my day gets submarined.... well, I hope my good intentions will suffice until I send out the full footage with the Christmas video. LOVE YOU ALL!

Happy Halloween!
