Let it be Christmas!!!!!!

Christmas time is almost here again. I have been very neglectful of keeping up on the blogging.

New Years resolution---- KEEP UP ON THE BLOGGING!!!!!!

Not much happening here just keepin' on keepin' on!! I am so thankful for family and friends that get me through some hard times. Thankful to have a great job with great people to work with. Thanks you guys for making my time at work wonderful.

My kids are the hightlight of my life. They keep me on my toes everyday and keep me laughing and look at the lighter side of life. I don't know what I would do without them.

Thanksgiving was wonderful this year with my family. My sister came down with her husband from Wyoming and my brother and his son along with Mom and Dad and my 2 kids and boyfriend. We went to Hamilton's again and like always it was YUMMY!!!! I loved all the desserts and the crablegs were to die for. Had a wonderful time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

My dad just turned 99!!!! WOW I can't believe he is that young. LOL. He is doing great and is amazing. We celebrated his Birthday with Pizza, cake and ice cream. Just imaging 99 years from now. I wonder what the world will be like??? I don't think I want to know. He has seen alot of progress in the past 99 years!!! Just imagine seeing what he has seen!!!! Crazy isn't it!!!! Hang in there for 100!!!

The snake was BIG BIG BIG!!!

A couple of weeks ago I met my sister and her family up to the Greys river and camped out with them. Madison and Tyson had a blast with their cousins, who are way older than them but you wouldn't know it. We floated the snake river and had a great time. Madison had never been down a river before and was not knowing what to expect. Lacee put her mind at ease though!!! Ha Ha Ha!!. (Just kiddin Lacee). Lacee was kinda freaked out but she made it through. It was fun for Madison until David and Ben fell out of the boat. I think they were showing us that they could really stand the cold water. We hit some pretty good rapids and Madison wasn't to sure about it all. She did great. Tyson got to float from East to West table but that was all. Alittle to dangerous for him just yet. We all had a great time and it was fun seeing the fam and spending some time with all of them. Thanks again for having us tag along with our to Muts.

Grand Tetons

What an awesome picture. We went up to Slide Lake in Jackson Hole and had a blast with our friends. Thanks guys for making it so fun!!!

Fun with friends

This is Slide Lake that was created by a land slide back in the 30's that covered the Gros Vante River and created this beautiful lake. We had a great time with friends.

THE BIG TEASE

Spring keeps on teasing us, peeking around the corner just to have another winter storm that dumps snow on all the spring life that is wanting to pop out of the ground.

I like snow but this is getting to much for me. I want to go out and do yard work and plant my garden but I think I might have to do an indoor one.

Enough griping about snow!!!

Last weekend my neice and her husband came to stay at my house with their baby (Charley). I loved having them come visit. I could have kept Charley. She is so cute. Madison and Tyson thought she was a doll too. Jescee and Elvin came out to have dinner with us while they were here and we had a great time. Jescee and I even got to give her a bath. Fun Times!!!

Ben and Tyson bonded while playing PS2 and Wii. Tyson asked when Ben can come back and play games with him. He was an awesome friend for Tyson!!

A few weeks ago Troy and I went up to West Yellow Stone with friends snowmobiling and to watch the snocross. We had a great time and it was nice to get out and snowmobile.

February already!!!

January has come and gone and February is here!!! I am getting sick of winter and am looking forward to summer fun. This winter has been a long one. It hasn't been to bad but I have not done a whole lot of fun stuff this winter. After 2 weeks of my kids being sick I am ready for some warm weather. They are feeling better now. Tyson had strep-throat and was very sick for a week. Madison got a bad cold that next week and is doing much better as well. I am looking forward to ski night with work in March. March will be a fun month. Troy's birthday is coming up in March and I have to think of something way cool to do for him. If anyone has some fun ideas let me know. Until them I will keep my nose to the grind and look forward for some warm weather or more snow!! I think the snow will come first!!!

I could not believe how big the snow flakes were the other day. I had to take a picture because if was so pretty!!! But it did not last long!!!

I am ready for some sunshine!!!!!

Turkeys!! Turkeys!! Turkeys!!

Here are the daily visitors that invade our yard!!! They have got to be some of the ugliest creatures but I guess in thier own, wierd way you could find something pretty about them??? Maybe their feathers!! Madison took these wonderful pics. and did a very good job at capturing their true beauty! There are flocks of them daily and the cats try to stalk them. Little do the cats know, they are outsized by these bird brains by quit a bit. But the cats still try to scare them. We actually enjoy watching them scratch around in the snow and we do feed them grain. What excitement!!!

Hi i'm Angel. Madi's best friend. I also like to bunt her all the time. When i get scared i try to run away but i'm waaaaay to faaaat!!!! My family is sometimes mean to me because they stick apples on my horns. But i love them anyway. If you think i'm cute please comment!!!!!

Sledding, Sledding, Sledding!!!!!

Well snow is good for something!! Keeping your kids happy and entertained. I think sledding is the favorite pastime of our family!! I like it too!! Pepper (the dog) will usually chase after the kids and try to jump on with them. What a nut!!! We went snowmobiling this weekend and pulled the sleds behind. The kids had a blast driving the snowmobiles and riding on the sleds. After a few crashes they were ready to go in and take a break!! GREAT FUN!!! That was our weekend!!

So today is my day off and I am cleaning my House!!! I could think of a hundred things I would like to do instead of clean my house!!! It was way overdue from Christmas and getting worse by the day. I HATE CLEANING!!!
I should hire a maid!!!

Christmas Morning these Monkeys were having a ball opening presents and being goofy (what they do best)!!! A good time was had by all. Even Pepper!!!

Winter Wonderland

How much prettier could it get!! I looked out after the huge snow storm we had and was in amazement at how beautiful it was!!

Tyson's Christmas Program

The Kindergarten Christmas Program was Tyson's first experience on the BIG STAGE!!! He was so cute, but alittle shy about singing ;) I can't believe he is in Kindergarten already. He is reading and feels so proud of himself. He is growing up to fast!!!

This was Thanksgiving Dinner at Hamilton's Steak House. We thought we would mix it up alittle bit this year and go out to eat. It was fabulous. It was really great getting together with my family and being with my dad who just turned 98!!! WOW !!! How amazing he has seen 98 Thanksgivings. I am truly thankful for my family. We rolled ourselves out after the feast!!! I don't think I could eat for 3 days!!! It was great food and great fun being with family!!!
