Well Happy Holidays!! 2006 has been nothing to complain about so far.

We have a new addition to the family....Introducing....Isabelle Janette
Cressler...  she was born to us on July 3, 2006.  She weighed 7#15oz and
is 21" long....but you can read all about that on her page
Isabelle.   

We took a trip to DC and Maryland in April for a week.  We took the kids
on a "patriotism" tour.  We stayed with Janette's sister Sue in Columbia
MD.  We also went to Williamsburg VA, and the Yorktown, VA area where
Mark spent time as a youth.

We took a trip to San Diego, CA.  Mark became a certified coast guard
captain there.  (He wants to rent sailing yachts when on vacation.)   
Isabelle was only 6weeks old but she was such a good baby. She slept a
lot of the time.  We had a lot of fun. We went  to Sea World and  the kids
had so much fun. We did the beach one day, the kids had fun boogie
boarding. They also made a big sand castle. The kids spent a lot of time
at the pool at the hotel.

We just bought a lot in Carmel, CA.  It is in a gated community, the lot is
about 20 acres, high in the foothills with ocean views.  We are excited
to build a summer house here.  Utah gets pretty cold.

Mark has taken up  Auto Racing.  He is really heavy into road racing, this
is on track wheel to wheel racing.  We got to see his last race where he
came in 2nd place beating out Porsche GT3s and a cadre of Lotus Elises.
Mark is 18 months into his 2 year volunteer mission for the LDS Church.
He buys and sells large properties for the church.  He loves it.

Janette stays busy with the Kids. It seems like we always have extra
kids floating around.  We love to have our kids friends over.  Isabelle
really keeps me jumping.   

In October we took our Lake Powell houseboat trip. It was nice because
the whole family could go. We only take kids that can swim. So Kaitlyn
learned how to swim about 3 months before we went. The kids love
going to Lake Powell.  We had most of Marks family go this year it was a
lot of fun.

We are staying home for Christmas this year. Janette's brother Adam
and his wife and new little boy are coming from Texas.   We Hope things
are going well for  all of you. Keep in touch and feel free to visit the

LOVE THE CRESSLERS
