Thunder Snow....


Well we got thunder snow today. This is only the second time in my life that I have ever heard and seen it. It was snowing like crazy and even hailing a little and then we got two loud claps of thunder.. I love thunder storms. February is almost over it's hard to believe. Kenny has had jet lag or something since we got back from our trip. I have got back into the swing of things pretty good but he is struggling. We went to a nice dinner at the Sand Piper the other night thanks to the coop. The girls are doing OK.. Kate has been sick but feels a little better now she has had a few contractions already and that is scary.. she will never make it to her June 1st due date.....Kim is doing OK she went to the doctor and she has dropped some... she too has been having contractions and the doctor wants her to hold off for a few weeks. Her due date is April 15.... Shylo is working full time trying to keep their heads above water until Marcus finds another job or goes to school... Heidi is working a lot but she and Sam have a new experience awaiting them this week. They are going to watch Chris and Jess Barkers kids for 11 day's while they go to Hawaii. They are excited about it and Chris and Jess always treat them very well... We had a surprise 70th birthday lunch yesterday for Mom. Laure Johns set it up , Karen Stringham, Rae Dodge , Kim ,Kate, Shylo,Heidi, Mom,Larue an I were all there. Mom was really surprised ..she said that was the first surprise birthday party she has ever had... Dad has been busy building ceder chests for the Elise, Jenna and now is working on one for me... He does such a great job on them... It's truly something I will treasure... I will post pictures of the party and cedar chest when I get them...mean while here are a couple we had taken on the cruise...

Caribbean Trip

Well we are home safe and sound from the nice warm Caribbean where it was 85 degree flip flop weather to Idaho where we got 4 inches of snow and have to wear a sweater and boots. I wouldn't trade the beautiful Idaho mountains. We got to see a lot of wonderful and neat things.Also we talked to a lot of neat people and meet a lot of people from different countries. We ate real good food, non stop, and if you left the ship hungry or bored you had no one to blame but yourself. We sailed on a ship called The Freedom of the Seas. If you get a chance look at it on the Internet. It is an amazing ship. We sailed from Miami to San Juan Porta Rico then to St Thomas and then to St Maarten. We had some ruff seas the first couple days then beautiful lay out in the sun weather the last few days. Kenny is ready to go right back out he really enjoyed the trip. We had a nice welcome home sign and little we missed you signs in the house when we got home.I took over one thousand pictures but will only post ten.

Winter & Wolverine

Well it is now Feb. 2009, where did Jan. go? The guys went Ice fishing last Saturday and got a few bites but no fish. They had fun and it was a day away. The girls all met out here and scrap booked or sewed. The grand kids built a snowman & played in the snow. They had fun. Kenny & I went for a ride up Wolverine yesterday and saw quite a few deer. It was cool to watch them all. Our big count down is on. We catch the plane to Miami Florida next Saturday and should be on ship by this time next week. We are sailing Freedom of the Seas for Royal Caribbean. We are both really excited. We have everyone coming out tonight except Kim & Danny to have a non super bowl party. We will watch the commericals not of the game. Richard & Jenny are even going to stop by on their way back to Ogden. Kim & Danny went to Caldwell this weekend to visit Danny's sister.
