Ian received his mission call today! He waited by the mailbox until it came at around 2:00 pm. He kindly waiting (and it seemed very long to him) for an hour when the family could be there to watch him open it. He opened it up and.....

Tanner's October Mission Photos
Tanner's letters are unbelievable. He couldn't be happier serving the Lord in Hiroshima Japan. He has extended his mission one transfer (six weeks) and will be returning to Utah on April 1, 2010. He is currently serving as a zone leader with Elder Vaughan from Las Vegas. He's happy, healthy and loves the people of Japan.
Gatchell update
It's been a crazy year and I can't believe it's December again. I guess this Blog thing hasn't been a top priority. Now and then I get a quiet moment to upload photos and to add some information to our blog.
We moved again...and again... - it's been a whirlwind year and with 2 moves, no wonder i don't have time to post. We are finally settled in a great house in a great neighborhood and we couldn't be happier. Email me direct if you'd like our new address.
Scott and Sue are busy with work and chasing the kids all over the place. However it's kind of wierd only having 2 kids at home. Atleast we have Pryse and Jayda to keep us on our toes.
Tanner is in the last few months of his mission. He'll be home in 3 months and 24 days. Not that I'm counting or anything.
Ian is having too much of a good time at Utah State. He is loving every minute of it...except for his classes!! - Finals are this week then he's home for the holidays. He will be submitting his mission papers soon and plans to leave right when Tanner gets home.
Wyatt just finished a great year of football where we made it to the semi-finals at Rice-Eccles. He did awesome and was a varsity starter both on offense and defense.
Hayley is enjoying school, friends, shopping, reading and wishes she could travel to Connecticut more!!

Sleeping after a BIG dinner!! - Pryse and Scott take a nap - Thanksgiving 2008
We had a great holiday weekend! Ellen and Bill were here for a week and got to see Ian and Wyatt's debut in Dixie's first basketball game of the season against Enterprise. We swept all three games!! Jana and Krystal arrived on Wed. and we had a great relaxful weekend. Amber, Pryse and Jayda of course are living with us so we had a great crowd. It was great! Jess came for dinner on Thursday but ran off quick to be with Jennifer's family that evening. It was a great time for us to all be together. This was the first big holiday after Mom passed away last January. We missed her...and we missed Tanner but we were able to read his latest letter on Thanksgiving Day.
