January in Good 'Ole Star Valley



So we have been freezing around here! For the past week and a half, the temperature hasn't gotten above zero - until yesterday. Kelly has been going crazy because he hasn't been able to go snowshoeing or skiing. Just too darn cold! So he celebrated the balmy weather yesterday (I think he said it was in the teens) with a hike up his mountain. Aren't the pictures awesome? I think they are beautiful! He really does love climbing that mountain. I don't know what book-on-tape he is listening to at the moment, but it is such good therapy for him.
It is January! This is the time we hunker down inside and cuddle up with a good movie or a book. And thanks to Brady, we have been doing just that. He has been wanting to watch all of "The Lord of the Rings" movies again - so every night this week we have settled ourselves upstairs for much tv goodness and popcorn. What could be better? The whole fam, crunchy treats, and a steller flick! How I love my life!

15 YEARS!


Happy Anniversary - to me and my honey. How I love the man! I simply cannot wrap my head around the fact that it has been FIFTEEN years that we have been married. They all have been so good. I am excited to experience the next fifteen! By far the best accomplishments of the last fifteen are my three good friends pictured above.

Merry Christmas!





We had a wonderful holiday! Santa came, we unwrapped, everyone was happy! The kiddos played and played with their new loot. Brady got much Vikings stuff, Rae - new cowboy boots and an american girl doll, Reesie - a doll sled and snowsuit and a cd player of her very own. They were all excited. I was most happy when I saw that my kids were far more interested in seeing their brother or sister open what they got for them than they were about opening their own gifts. They also made me proud when we dropped in to see a nice old man in our ward on Christmas eve- who was alone. We all visited with him, and my kids had a great time. No complaining - they really enjoyed it. We had a wonderful holdiay. We enjoyed Jennifer for the week - and her cuties on Saturday. We sure miss those cousins! Merry Christmas!

Reese with a hole in her head!


Reese has been wiggling like crazy! She has been so excited to have a loose tooth, and low and behold - it fell out! Just like Blythe! She has been so excited!
