The Decker Family

We all managed to be together for a family picture on New Years Eve. It's hard to have everyone in one place at one time; Especially as the family grows. We had a nice time being together.

Christmas is over. The second half of last year was a blur. We really did do lots of things. I really need to add photos. Some day I will. I wish I was better at keeping up a journal. I thought blogging would be easier. My life story is pretty much told through pictures. At least I have good intentions. Its funny how when you are kid the time passes so slowly and you think Christmas and birthdays are so far away. Now, I blink my eye and I am another year older. My kids are growing up too fast.

I have been reading War and Peace. Besides being the longest book ever, I have learned alot about the war of 1812 in Russia and some good lessons in life. When we have the least and worry about what is really important in life, we are the happiest. If we can realize that for the most part there is someone out there in this world with much bigger problems than us, we can't feel sorry for ourselves.

I'm grateful for the Saviors atoning sacrifice for me. I'm no where near perfect, but with his help hopefully I can be someday. It is hard to comprehend the love he has for each one of us. I hope I can have a fraction of that love for my family and fellowmen.

It's going to be a good year!

Grand Canyon, Arizona

We had a Grand time at the Grand Canyon. We left at 7am so that we could beat the heat and the crowds and it worked. We hiked and rode the buses when we were tired. Grandpa Decker gets a new National Park medal to put on his hiking stick every time he goes to a new park.

Williams, Arizona "Gateway to the Grand Canyon"

The Decker family had the opportunity to stay in Williams at the "Smithson's" cabin the week of July 19th. It is a great place to spend time with the family. The weather was pleasant most of the time and the kids played outside a ton. They came in pretty filthy before bedtime. Each of the families took turns preparing dinners and we visited places like Old Town Williams, Grand Canyon, Bedrock City, Beaver Creek and the Ice Caves. We had plenty of play time at the cabin too. It even rained occasionally.
