Tucker's brother Patrick has been called to serve on a mission in the Tallahasse, FL mission. He arrived at the MTC on December 14th, we are going to miss him!

and Stephanie






















We got to see the new Josheph Smith movie at the Oakland Temple. We highly recommend it!
(This picture was taken off our balcony at our Hotel in Key Largo, where we got to go Jet Skiing!)




At the Oakland Temple







We have enjoyed traveling together this past year. Our recent travels have taken us back east to include Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, and on our vacation to Utah, Vegas, and of course, all over California for work.

Everywhere we went back east I (Stephanie) tried to find a barbershop chorus to attend. I got to meet a lot of neat women and sing with a lot of great people. I have stated taking arranging lessons from my director, and am really enjoying them. My goal is to arrange a song that is sung by a quartet or Chorus that is sung on the International stage. That, of course, is only the beginning. My "career" goals also include becoming a certified music judge in the Sweet Adeline International Organization. My director is encouraging me to take the certification for judgeship soon, because he believes I am ready. I still have to jump through a few hoops before I can do that, so for now, I am just working as hard as i can each day to better my listening abilities and arranging skills.

The biggest news for us, is that I sold my first arrangement, (contingent upon it's completion) to a great quartet in my chorus!! I am very excited to finish it, and get to hear a piece of my own music sung on stage!!!! I'm on my way to accomplishing my goals, thanks to a lot of dedication and support.

Pictures below are of Tucker at the Oakland Temple, and also of Tucker and me at the top of the Stratosphere in Vegas a few months ago, when we went to visit Aaron and Adam in Vegas. Tucker and I also have a website, please visit if you wish. It's updated often, so please bookmark! http://oregonbeesleys.blogspot.com/

The Thompsons
































































Lisa and Bret are excitedly preparing for their new baby girl. Ashlee Nicole is due to arrive on April 21st. Although, they are hoping that she will arrive somewhere between 12-14th, just before Easter. Emily is getting excited about starting Kindergarten in the fall, and as Lisa says is their "Smart Cookie".

We will definately keep you updated and news on the baby!

Aaron Update








Aaron and Stone are still living in Overton, Nevada. Aaron is working at a tire shop. Stone is now in school, and although he says he doesn't like it all that much, he is getting smarter everday. Tucker and Stephanie bought him a chess set for Christmas, and as soon as he opened it up, he and Tucker broke it in. Aaron laughed a bit as he told us that last time he played Stone at Chess that Stone Stail Mated Aaron. Aaron and Stone are very happy together.

Adam update






Adam is still in Vegas, and doing very well. He is very fortunate to have found a very loving LDS family that have taken him in. He is living with them, and improving his life each day. He is enjoying going to church again, and has started to take the sacrament. Adam's testimony is growing stronger each day, as he is fighting his battles, and coming out victorious over each of them with the help of His loving Heavenly Father. He wants to thank all of you that have showed him your support over the years, and is looking forward to seeing everyone as soon as he can.

Of course, he is still amazing at racquetball!

Amber and Eric Pictures and News










Baby Caleb!

Also AWESOME news! Christain finished Chemo
treatment on January 30th! They had a party for him. Amber baked a cake that caused Christain to blush, and say "Oh, MOM!" It was of a rear end, with a hospital gown, with the words "We're glad it's all behind you." Pictures of that cake will perhaps come soon.

They are hoping that he will get his tube out sometime this month.
