Thanksgiving

Thanksgivivg came and went very quickly. All except for the extra weight we all put on by eating so much. We were very blessed to have so much great food and great company. We had all ages there from Grandma Gheen who is 96 to Christian who is 1. Grandma didn't use her walker to much but Christian loved pushing it all around and climbing on it. Grandma Gheen ,my folks, Curt, Diane, Stephen ,Laurie & their kids, Kate, Brian & their kids,Shylo,Marcus,Sam ,Heidi ,Kenny and I were all over to the church to celebrate. Twenty three all together. Kim,Danny and the girls were with the Georges and Richard & Jenny in Idaho Falls with Jennies family. We all met at our house on that night and thanks to Jenny we were able to decorate ginger bread houses.




We had a blast visiting and decorating while Sam, Brian, Marcus, Danny & Kenny all played a game of Risk, which Kenny won. Kathy & Bob spent their day looking for a friend of Bobs who got lost while hunting. Thankfully he was found and was ok. Kathy said they will have their T-day on friday. Kylee and Alexis spent t-day night with us so Kim and Danny could go shopping at 4:00 am for all the good Black Friday sales. The girls were really good .

Married for 29 years.....WOW

Well we just celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary. Time has really gone by fast. We went to Jackson Hole Wyoming on Saturday and spent the night at Snow King lodge.






We had fun walking around Jackson and looking at all the expensive things they have to offer. Like fur and leather coats for the rich and famous or art that you couldn't pay me to hang in my house. Granted I would like the chance to walk in to the stores and not look at the price and just buy it because I like it.







Targee has snow but Jackson is running their snow making machines trying to get some snow. We drove outside of Jackson to take some pictures of the Tetons





and saw 18 bull elk all together. They were all 5&6 point bulls.











It was cool to watch them. We also saw some swans.






We stopped at Swan Valley and had one of the famous square Ice Cream cones. It was beautiful weather.

Nov.8th 2008

In talking with my Mom and Dad last night we came up with the idea to go on a cruise in July 2010 to Alaska.We would like Kathy,Bob,Stephen,Laurie,Richard,Jenny,Mom,Dad Kenny and I all to go. I really would like to get this to come true. I hope everyone will start saving so we can go. It would be a great trip with all of us.







There are several in the family with bad fall colds. Tis the season. Kenny put up a TV in the exercise room today, and I did the normal laundry. Kenny also took my car to Idaho Falls to have some warranty work done,I stayed here and had an insulin blood test run along with cholesterol and tyroid.I would like to get off some of this medicine I'm on. We had a beautiful weather day today. Well hope all is well with everyone.

Wow ...November is here....

Well here it is Nov. 2008. Time is flying by so fast. Kenny and Norm went back out hunting with no luck but had a good time and enjoyed hunting season.

I went to Odgen yesterday with Mom and Dad.We went for Quinns baptism. Stephen, Laurie and the kids were there also.It was great to see everyone.It was a very nice day and we had a great lunch at Richard and Jennys after. The weather was great.





We had a good Halloween also.Allot of cute and scary kids. I had the grand kids and The Barkers as my only trick or treaters.









We got family pictures taken of the Hammonds and Georges , I need to get the Olers and Gardners to hold still for some too.







Heidi and Sam spent the weekend moving in to their new house.I'm sure they will enjoy having their own home. Shylo and Marcus spent the weekend with the Oler family for Marcus's Grandma Hebbdon's funereal. Alexis has a ear infection and sinus infection poor little duck. Kate has a bad cold also I guess it is the season. We got some much needed rain last night and today. Added We vote for a next president of the United States this week. I know the one I definitely don't want in and the other is questionable.

A beautiful Day...

Well it was a beautiful day for Oct.28. I worked then came home and mowed the lawn one of my favorite things to do,then went on a 4 mile bike ride. Then did another favorite thing by setting on my swing on the front porch and doing a crossword puzzle.Richard Jenny and the kids came and visited this weekend it was great to see them.



We got all the apples picked on the weekend also we got about 600lbs this year.



Kenny got back from hunting and was empty handed but he and Norman had a great time.
They always have fun and have good stories to tell when they get back. They will go back out this weekend for one last try.



Marcus's Grandma Hebbdon died last night. She was a very sweet lady and will be missed.She has left behind many great people,but Shylo said she is now taking care of all the little ones in heaven.
Mom,Dad & I are going to Ogden this weekend because Quin will get baptized.Well thats it for today.

Trials.....

Shylo had a miscarrage last night.It is so hard on her. This is her fourth one. The Lord must have different plans for her and Marcus. She is a strong young lady and I know she will be ok but I feel helpless not knowing what I can do for her. So I ask you all to keep her in your prayers. Kim was hooked up to and IV yesterday she has been throwing up alot with the pregnancy. Kate seems to be doing ok busya as ever....
Heidi made cookies this last week and delivered them to many people. She is a sweetheart.Kenny is out trying to slay the elk for the year...
