MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Our first Christmas with just "The Pea Pod"!

Funny how the family works...you start out with just the 2 of you...then get really big...and then start going back the other way again! We opened gifts then had dinner with close friends, then Coriann and I enjoyed movies on the couch! JD had the stomach flu and missed the whole day...so we better go shopping and cooking and have Christmas Saturday...AGAIN!! no way! haha

We loved talking to Elder Clark, he is doing so good...mixed with a little food poisoning.Carlee is at James' family in Cedar City, UT and Camber and her family called from "THE SUN LAND" of Florida, "thank you Grandma for the pretties!" said Preslie of her Princess dress-up from Grandma. Dallin said tell PaPa "I love the guns...I shoot Lamanites!"

Hope all of you had a wonderful day with family.

Debra's 50th Party!!

My sweet family  planned a surprise party for me at my favorite pasta place and called some dear ol'friends and we "roasted" good old Debra!What a night to remember. Hey, 50 isn't bad!

JD and James cutting up MEAT... again!

Ok...Camber and Yasmine... you watch this!!

I did a pic, don't know why it worked but I will get better! 

OK...just imagine that you see a really cute couple of kids! I am just "getting" this blog thing and I can't seem to put a picture up. But if a picture is worth a thousand words then I will have to write for quite along time! ahh! Camber HELP!!!

My Grandkids came to Bozeman, we played and they left. I went to the Mo Tab Christmas Concert with Carlee, got stuck in Salt Lake due to a huge snow storm, and left. JD hunted, got more meat and cut it up. Coriann spiked the ball, changed to basketball and ran for a fast break and came home went to bed. That about sums up the week. Oh...I SHOPPED!! A LOT!! :)

A Week With The Kids

While Dad and Jerry were in Alaska we spent a week with G-ma, Grandma Smith and Coriann! We fed the horses, mowed grass for the cows, jumped on the tramp, fed the fish, fed the horses some more, picked apples for the horses, made treats, watched Cor-baby play volleyball and cheered like crazy at a football game! What more could you ask for in a trip home?

Favorite Fishing Trips of the Summer

Hialight is always fun to run up to, spur of the moment! Dallin is love'n the life jacket! There's nothing better than enough marshmallows to make you sick!Here Dalllin and "Papa" were arguing about how many bugs they ate "last night!"
Here James is getting his garb on to rough the dirt bike trails to Cedar Lake with Dad, Carlee and Jerry. Sacred Cedar. Sneaky Grandpa, Dallin was obviously objecting to the whole idea. Twin Lakes, Dallin with a "thith." Last minute Alaska trip with Jerry over Labor Day. Are your forearms still sore?

Don't worry Dad, I got the tickets!
