WELL HERE WE ARE AND THE FIRST MONTH OF 2009 IS ALMOST OVER. IT IS GOING WAY TO FAST. WE CELEBRATED JANUARY BIRTHDAYS THE OTHER DAY. ON THE 18TH KENNY'S DAD BUD TURNED 82, SAM TURNED 23 AND ON THE 20TH KATIE TURNED 9. WE HAD A NICE PARTY FOR THEM AND THE PICTURES HERE WERE TAKEN THEN. WE HAVE HAD A NEW PRESIDENT PUT IN THIS WEEK. HIS NAME BARACK OBAMA HE IS OUR FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT. HE PROMISES GOOD CHANGE WE WILL SEE. OUR COUNTRY IS IN A RECESSION AND PEOPLE ARE SCARED AND UNSURE. WE HAD LAYOFFS AT WORK BLACKFOOT MOTOR WHERE MARCUS WORKS IS CLOSING AND ALLOT OF OTHER PLACES ARE STRUGGLING. SAM STARTED A NEW JOB AT CANNON BUILDERS THIS WEEK BECAUSE THINGS ARE SLOW FOR BRIAN.

KENNY IS ALL PACKED FOR OUR CRUISE AND I HAVEN'T STARTED YET. I WILL GET THINGS PUT TOGETHER TOMORROW. THE GUYS ARE ALL GOING ICE FISHING TOMORROW AND THE GIRLS ARE GETTING TOGETHER OUT HERE TO SCRAP BOOK. WE WOKE UP TO 6 INCHES OF FRESH WHITE HEAVY SNOW. IT WAS REALLY PRETTY.
