My holiday wish for you
I wish all of you health, happiness, peace, warmth, the gift of love and the unity of family. The house is quiet, the pie is almost gone and I'm sitting here pondering. Time goes by so swiftly, last week was one of preparation, feasting, family and gratitude and now here it is the verge of December. This year has been so great and busy. I love that we have this blog connection and hope we get more nieces on board. I wish all of you peaceful days, moments of reflection and time to build memories. Thanks for being part of my life. Love to all, Vic

Worst Christmas Songs Ever
Christmas is coming and I've been doing a ton of thinking the last few days. I don't want to come across as a Scrooge, but I'm sure I will anyway. There are Christmas songs out there that I would have no complaints if they fell off the face of the earth. Don't be shy, we all have our least favorites. I would like to kick off the season with a "WORST CHRISTMAS SONGS EVER" list. I'll begin and I want everyone to add their own least favorite seasonal song. (I'll be nice later and we can list the best songs, but for now I want check this off of my list of things to do this season.)
These are on the very top of my list:
1. The Little Drummer Boy-can't stand it, sorry Dad
2. The Twelve Days of Christmas-I've never met anyone who enjoys this song except Ryker
3. Do You Hear What I Hear?-I didn't even like it when Cory's 2nd grade class sang it!
4. A Wonderful Christmas Time by John Lennon-ugh!
5. Phil wants me to add "Last Christmas" by George Michael. (I personally enjoy that song but mainly because I can torment my husband with it!!!!!)
6. "Feliz Navidad"-no comment
PLEASE, I WANT YOUR INPUT TO THIS. I WANT TO KNOW IF ANYONE OUT THERE IS AS GRUMPY AS I AM!
Thanks!
Audrey

New Blogs
Hey guys. Um, by the way, sorry about posting two blogs the other day. The big one was actually supposed to go to my own personal blogspot, but I apparently pushed the wrong button. I guess you can all know what I'm grateful for too, huh? Anyway, here are our two new blogs: www.thebandleyfam.blogspot.com (so you can keep up with our little family) and my personal one: www.audreybandley.blogspot.com (hopefully soon it will be my ability to connevt my music with the world-it is meant as more of a professional page, but check it out anyway!). Happy Eating everyone!
Thing I am Thankful For
Wow, I can not believe it is Thanksgiving tomorrow. Where has this year gone? Well I just wanted to share with you some of the things that I am thankful for:
1. My family & the amazing opportunity to be a wife and a mother. For a loving & supportive husband, for two daughters who call me for cooking questions, long talks or just to say hi, for two sons who keep me laughing by teasing me & who can always find a way for me to do their laundry. I love you all. You are the joy in my life.
2. For my brother, sisters, nieces and nephews you all make me smile when I think of you.
3. For my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ. For the gift of the Atonement and the opportunity it gives me to repent of my short comings. For the Plan of Salvation and the comfort it gives me to know that I can be with my family forever.
4. For my home and the warmth and safety it provides for me & my family.
5. For this great country, we are still free and have the opportunity to stand up for what we believe in. We have food to eat, cars to drive, roofs over our heads, the freedom of religion etc. We are so blessed!
6. For good health.
7. For good books, good movies, good music, popcorn, licorice, chocolate and sonic ice.
8. For this blog so we can keep in touch with each other.
I could go on forever but it is getting late and I have one more pie to make. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. Be happy! Love ya, Shawna

Thanksgiving
I've decided to list the top 10 things that I am eternally grateful for. I take this list seriously. These are the things I cannot do without and feel blessed to have in my life.
10. Transportation (the lack thereof has brought me closer to that conclusion the last several months)
9. Peanut M&M's (I've had some real good times with those guys)
8. Education and knowing that I am capable of learning more
7. I am able to create Happiness in my life
6. Life-the ability to live my life, to enjoy my life , to give life
5. My body and good health
4. Friends, for I have many
3. Music-both that is inside of me and that which inspires me
2. My Family, those whom I was born to, those who were born to me and those to whom I have joined
1. The Gospel-knowing who I am and where I came from, understanding my existence, my life, the plan of redemption, our Savior, and our Heavenly Father and all that the gospel encompasses. How blessed we are!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hooray! No more dial-up!
I can finally post again! We've had to have a crummy dial-up connection for the past month and it was so slow I couldn't hardly get on the internet! Hooray! We're back to wireless! I'm so excited. Anyway, Clar-I've finally got my own personal blog. It's intended for my music use so it won't include much about the family, but I'll set one of those up sometime soon. My blog is www.audreybandley.blogspot.com. If you guys are still taking requests for music, I think that a little Michael Buble is in order. His all-time bests include "Dream", "Home" and, my personal fave, "Feelin' Good". Happy Thanksgiving ya'll and good luck at the wedding Carrillos. Wish I could be there.

Music
Char,
Love the new tunes. You rock. Thanks. Love, Vic
It's great to have the Tran Clan here. The kids are getting so big. We are going to have a fun week. In December, I get to got and see the Osolu Crew...I haven't seen the kids since August of 2007. So Al's been to Tennessee and Chicago this week-the guy gets around. I heard a neat thing on the radio about worry and what a waste of time it is and that we should use that time for our imaginations to work and to feel joy. Just thought I'd share. Remember a couple of years ago when we did some things as a family for the Haiti orphanage...I ran into Mandy and tonight and she now has her daughter and son from there. They came in March of this year..after about four plus years of trying-she remembered our project. So thanks again and her daughter is now 16 and so gorgeous. Have a great Thanksgiving. Love to all, Vic

Sweet Dreams
Wishing you rainbow skies and gorgeous sunsets,
Warm fuzzy blankets and never wearing hairnets
Pillows at night that support your neck and head'
The sweetest of dreams in a nice comfy bed.
Ballerina's dancing, fairies and cute little elves
Who are having a party in spite of themselves.
You are invited and only have one thing to do
Close your eyes in slumber and the fun will come to you.
It's late...but this was fun and I always wish you sweet dreams and a good night's sleep. Love, Vic
My house smells so clean and look so clean. Thanks to Al and his efforts. I was behind and had to ask for help-something I don't often do. It's just nice to feel heaven in your home when things are clean, calm, organized and the stress level is low. My thought for the day.

Thankful Time
I have to admit, I think about my blessings each day, but in November they seem to be more on my mind than usual. It has been a good year-ups and downs, fun, being with family, new experiences and such a beautiful spring, summer and fall. I truly love life and the gospel and my family, which includes all of you. I have a few words of advice-yeah, I know I'm the old lady, so I guess you have to take heed---joking. Remember to breathe, take time outs for you, dance, sing and build memories. Memories get us through tough times and bring smiles and tears of pure joy.
I hope you all have a blessed month. Keep on blogging-it's a highlight for me and I think all of you. I looked at everyone's blogs tonight and felt so connected-what a feeling. Wait,is that a song???
Love ya, Vic
By the way have you ever noticed what strange words the letters to publish blogs are...they are pretty funny...bloguage..a new language.

something cute to brighten the day






These pictures are of our baby kitty we rescued. Our neighbor found her in front of his house, she was soaking wet, and was so small that she could fit inside of your palm. so we took her in and had to bottle feed her. We were not going to originally keep her but we both fell in love with her and couldn't give her away. Now she's a pudgy spaz.
GREAT JOB AUDREY
I AGREE WITH MY MOM AUDREY DID AN AMMAZING JOB, WHEN MAYLEE HEARD ME TALKING ABOUT LISTENING TO AUDREY SHE OFCOAURSE WANTED TO COME WITH ME SHE WAS A LITTLE DISSAPOINTED WHEN WE WENT TO THE CHURCH AND NOT BACK TO AUNT DEBBIES HOUSE! GOOD JOB AUDREY!!!!

Happy November
Have fun at Audrey's performances and good luck Audrey. Wish I could be there. Heather-cute picture. Wendy and Shawna I'll be at the shower and I think Clar might come, not sure yet. What can I do to help you??? Food, etc. I had a great time at our party and the weather was long sleeved shirt weather. We had yummy food and a roaring fire and lots of talking.
I just want to say I love you all and I'm grateful you are part of my life...a BIG part. Hope to see tons of you this month at the shower and wedding. Love, Vic

Fun Halloween
Hope everyone had a safe and happy halloween. Sam and I had alot of fun. We hardly ever see our neighbors because of our work schedules plus we don't go to our ward anyways we decided to set up our camp stove in the front yard and make our neighbors scones & hot chocolate. We went through 11 bags of scone dough. It was great to talk to our friends and not have to get up and answer the door every 5 minutes. I think we will make this a tradition. This picture is from work, we have a lot of fun together.
