Latest Family News:
If you haven't already heard, Aunt Connie has retired! Her last day of work was December 17th. She had a few parties to celebrate with family and friends. Unfortunately I can't get the pictures that were sent to me uploaded. I was able to see her at Rondo and Cindy's house with Russ and Janiel, my parents, Sharon, and Guy and Heather! Let me tell you, they know how to party. So much so, that Guy and Heather and Paul and I were outta there before the "real" party even began. haha! Congrats to Connie!!!!

Also, check out Rondo and Cindy's blog to see what Cindy won at work! I am only a teensy tiny bit jealous! {her blog is linked on the right side of the page------------> see it over there?}

AND Crystal has a release date from her mission in Brazil of March 22! How exciting! I can't wait to see her and I know Rondo and Cindy are getting anxious to have her home. Cindy and Rondo have kept the family up to date with her mission and you can find that blog at crystaldegen.blogspot.com (<-------you should be able to click on that link) to read all about her Amazon Adventures!


Upcoming Events:
The Seven Sister's Reunion will be here before we know it. Mark your calendars for the last Saturday in February...and then pray for decent weather. Last year was so cold and windy.

Our annual Bauer Family Reunion will be held here again in sunny St. George. We are celebrating Grandpa's 90th birthday this year! I believe the reunion will be held July 9th so make a plan to be here for the grand celebration! Russ, my mom, Connie and Sharon are all planning it so if you have questions call one...or maybe call all four of them....with any questions! {just don't be surprised if you get a different answer/opinion from each one!} wink~wink!!

And Mama Finn will have a new grandbaby no later than February 2. That's right we are ready to welcome baby Samantha into our family in a matter of weeks. We are so so excited!

Dylan goes in for a regularly scheduled 3 month MRI scan for his brain tumor on Monday, the 10th. Will you say a little prayer for him? He is doing great and we just hope that the little stinker making a home in his brain is sitting tight and not causing any problems. {thanks}

ok, I think that's it!
If you made it to the end of this post, well, thanks for reading!
see ya in a few!
