So, as some of you know, Shawn has had a small part in some independently published books. There was one that his Dad wrote and we self published last year and it has a cover done by Shawn- the story itself is quite funny too! You can go to www.lulu.com and just type in Cory Boyles or Shawn Boyles and it should come up- that one is called "Waldo Weisenheimer"- read it, it is fun and anyone can purchase it, it is just the cost of printing . . .
Then, last summer he was commissioned to do a book for a lady who has an alpaca farm, another guy wrote it, but Shawn was paid to illustrate it. It is a fun book called "Buttersby and the Cavern of Babel" and you can order one for yourself at:www. buttersby.com
Just last week we ordered "Frogs, Dogs, and Gators"- it was a song that Cory wrote when Shawn was a kid and Shawn made his senior art project at BYU doing the illustrations for it. Well, they finally self published it at that same www.lulu.com site, so you can type in Cory or Shawn's names and it should come up.
I will tell you that the Lulu books should be around $30 a peice and the Buttersby one is like $15 or $20. I just thought I would pass the word on those so that anyone who wants to own some Shawn stuff to show off to their friends, this is how. Although, to be honest, he is no longer proud of most of it, everything that is over six months old he inherently hates!
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, we will see you next year!!!

Christmas Card Season
Ok- I have been receiving Christmas cards from all of you over the years, but up until now, I have been a total slacker about sending out my own, but not this year! I ordered some and I am getting prints done of my family and I intend to send them out. Now my problem is that I don't have all of your addresses, so for all of our friends reading this, you all have my e-mail (I think you can get it from here if you don't), send me your addresses. I will, in turn, now give you mine. I am not too worried about putting it out there because I will only be living there another month, so whatever!

Pleasant Grove, UT 84062
Lots of love to you all, and best of luck sending out your cards this year as well!

Sorry, it's been a while!
Just thought I would catch you all up on life for us-
Last week we got a dog, he is a West Highland Terrier Mix and his name is Angus (or Mungus, since that is what Lucas called him that first day) He is really cute and we only paid $10 for him, but have now spent over $300 on him, getting supplies and taking him to the vet. Can you believe that I finally found a dog that I am not allergic to, and he has allergies?!
Well, I don't have a lot of time for doing this, but I just wanted to let you guys know, and I will put up a picture of him soon, although he currently has a rash on his neck and is wearing a cone, so the picture won't do him much justice!
Lots of love to you all!
