Okay, so I talked to an old friend today and she said she still checks my blog to see if
I ever update it. So, I decided that just in case there are others of you that do check in occasionally, maybe I should actually do just that - update my blog!!
First of all, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday - we sure did. 
Here's Dave, Laiya and I (and even Bella) on Christmas day.
Taeron and Dontae posing for a picture to make a Christmas present for Holly
Kate and Lucy in their dress up clothes 
We went over to my brother Rick's house for a nice dinner on Christmas night
I spent a few days at Ben and Erica's house in December, helping Erica out while Ben was on a mission trip. The kids and I had lots of fun doing crafts! Our attempt at a gingerbread house was, hmmm, what shall I say, well, we tried! The frosting was a little runny so the roof slid off, most of the decorations were eaten before they were put on, etc. etc., but we sure had fun!
Braden and Evan play basketball on Saturdays. We have only made it to one game so far but hoping to make it to more before they are done!
Luke Ryan Dykhouse was born to Ryan and Heather on December 29. He is welcomed home by Abby, Ty and Kate too.
We spent New Year's Eve with my brothers and sisters. Rick and Beckie joined us after we took the picture. What a wonderful way to bring in the new year!
Sweet Jacob loves all the hats and glasses in the box of dress-up clothes downstairs!
My dear friend, Barb, surprised me by taking me to get a pedicure for a belated birthday gift last week! I thought 10 am was a little early to be going for lunch:-) 
Ty did a great job in the Byron Christian K-3 school play last week.
Abby and Ty are both becoming great swimmers. They have swim meets almost every Saturday. I haven't made it to very many but it is fun to watch them when I can.
If you've seen the movie "Ramona and Beezus" then you have an idea of what my grand daughter Zippora is like - she is just like Ramona! She is so fun that even when she peels off my wall paper border I can't get mad at her.
So, if you happened to come across my blog, will you please leave a comment so I know that someone has read it and then maybe I will try to keep up on it again. Thanks!!
It's about time, huh??

Hello Mrs.Lubben, I love seeing your pictures always~ haha :) Jisu
Note from Marva - I've had lots of people tell me they've checked out my blog - I may just have to try to keep up with it a little better:-)
My "check the blog-list-night" tends to be Sundays.. and I do have you on the list. However, I do skip over your link often, assuming there is nothing to see! I love all the pics, and enjoy catching up on you and your kids ( and grandkids!) Oh, and pets too. :) My best to you and Dave. I still think of you both on my "super Saturday cleaning" moments!
