Happy Birthday Dad!

I didn't have a digital photo of Dad, so I borrowed one from Glenda's blog. I never know what to buy my dad for his birthday. I haven't sent him anything yet, so I would love any suggestions. This is really sad, but the only memory I have of my Dad's birthday is from a photo that was taken when I was around 4. I was sitting on his lap and he was blowing out the candles. Happy Birthday Dad!!

Happy Birthday Mary!

Mary turned 25 yesterday!! Stephen planned a surprise party for her and she was surprised!!! That never happens. She knows everything all the time. They even got into a fight because he was being too "secretive." My mom came and Mary's good friend from college, Anna and Larry, my family and various friends from Casper. A good friend made the cake and used black, white and silver frosting; it was beautiful. We got some good photos of everyone's black teeth from the frosting. Mary loves living in Casper and they are buying their first home here. We are so excited for her. Stephen and Larry are cousins and they work at the family granite/tile business. Anna has the fanciest kitchen and bathroom I have seen, and now Stephen and Mary will be so busy "fancifying" their new home. She just got a new a-line haircut that really looks great, she is so beautiful. We have good times and I am fortunate to have her in Casper!

Happy Birthday Jonathan!!!

My little Jonny had a birthday on Tuesday. He is such a wonderful young man. He is into music, playing guitar, he also plays the Bass in the orchestra. He doesn't enjoy that as much as guitar, but we continue to encourage him to keep doing it. He snowboards every chance he gets. I take him up the mountain every weekend. He never has a plan to meet anyone up there, he just goes with the person that will keep up with him. His latest love is hiking "Ridge" and making his own jumps, trying them out, and hiking back up. I think the chair lift is easier, but you don't get the good powder. In a few weeks he will start spring training for baseball, he is a wonderful pitcher, we love to watch him. This boy never slows down...basketball, golf, skateboarding, he loves all sports. AND...he gets good grades!!! Jonathan is a wonderful blessing!!

Holiday Break

Photos from our trip to Utah...

Sledding fun.

Sophie and Lizzy

We had such a wonderful time, hanging out, playing games and visiting family.

Christmas Day

We had an awesome Christmas Day! We even took a family photo.

Merry Christmas

The concerts, programs, parties, and the rush is coming to an end. The next few days are so cherished. I will bake cookies with my children and prepare for Christmas dinner. Jonathan and Ian will want me to take them up the mountain to ski/snowboard and Lizzy and I might join them if it isn't windy. We always have so much fun over Christmas break. And...it is snowing right now! I love a white Christmas. I wish you all a wonderful holiday.
