Meyer Christmas e-Letter 2011
Who would believe that it is already a week before Christmas! But, here we are again, busy as ever:)
Cameron is busy coon hunting, deer hunting, and pig chores. We can't believe he'll be 17 in mid February. He told us, that, "17 is cool but 18 is even better." I don't think we are going to think that far yet:)
Taylor turned fifteen in November and sometimes thinks he's 16. He got a big buck first time hunting. He still does pig chores and works mainly around the farm although worked away during harvest.
I am 12 and can't wait to be 13! Outside chores, school and inside chores take up most of my mornings.
I enjoy sewing and knitting, friends and some traveling. As for sewing, right now I'm making some dresses for little African girls.
Gabe is 10 and active. He likes to make all kinds of things out of wood and hot glue. He enjoys working ton the farm with Dad and big bros. He has several Boer goats that he's hoping to get a group of kids of off of.
Aubrey is 8 almost 9. Well in March anyway. She loves to read and do some crafts and/or letters to her faraway cousins.She has just started taking piano lessons.
Cole is 5 almost 6! He will be six on January 27th. If it's anything like last time, the day of his birthday he'll ask when he's gonna be older! He's a little monkey and likes to play with all kinds of gadgets. Every other minute, he and Gabe are into some kind of wrestling match.
We hope everybody has a blessed Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Love,
Richard. Joni. Cameron. Taylor. Haylie. Gabe. Aubrey. Cole.

Bright Lights Conference
 |
| On July 12 and 13 Mom, Aubrey and I went with some friends to a A Bright Lights conference called Strong in the Lord. We all loved it. Sarah Mally was our speaker. She did an excellent job. Then the next day after we came home, we had corn to freeze. The Ulmer and Stangl families came to help freeze and eat corn with us. That was a fun/busy day. Bright Lights was having an other conference for older girls ages 12+ called Radiant Purity. Of course Mom couldn't be gone another 2 days so, I went home with the Stangls. The picture you see above is a chalk drawing that Sarah drew. It was really neat watching her. Another thing was the music. It was so pretty! The harp was played while other girls came up and shared there testimonies. Now, I can't tell you every thing because it would take way to long! So, I'm am going to end with that! Haylie |

That was a super-fun weekend! Kansas and Colorado girls 5th-12th, went camping down in Kiowa, KS.![]()
Thursday thru Friday we- sat around, played beach volleyball, waded, slept...? That snake you see in one of the pictures we had to step over to play in the river...EEK! smile!
Every night we had devotions and we sang some very pretty songs that I really need to learn! One was 'Light th Fire'. I learned it now that i'm home. One morning i was walking with a friend and we saw a little fawn! It was sososo cute! but before we thought to get our camera, we scared it away.

One Wet Campout!
Exactly! Gabe, for his birthday, was going to have a campout. With only a 30% chance of rain, we thought that it wouldn't come out to anything. Well, three o clock rolls around and its raining.
Disappointing!!!!!
Thankfully it let up long enough for us (not me and my friends!) to go swimming.
We did end up having a lot of fun IN the house!
Our new windows are being put in!
So cool!
