I lost a very dear friend on Sunday and it is a great loss. She was a good friend who over the years has endured many trials and was still able to laugh and be positive with everybody around her. I will miss her.

Christmas and New Years

We had a wonderful Christmas, all the kids were here and it was really great having Chelle here, Christmas is truly for the very young. The big kids all had a good time, but the little ones had a much better time. I didn't get any pics as Chelle wanted to be in my lap the whole morning and I would rather snuggle with her than take pics so these pics are the extent of what I have. Chelle loved her 4-wheeler and I'm surprised that the carpet held up, or that the dogs haven't went neurotic from being chased all over the house by it.

We had a really quiet new years the kids were all gone and we just stayed home and relaxed.

Now I'm trying to catch up on all things that got overlooked over the holidays and trying to get my tree taken down.

Its snowing again, we have had so much snow this year we should of bought that snow blower, lol

Finally some sun!

We finally have a sunny day, we have awoken to snow almost every morning and if we don't have snow we have had fog and extremely cold Monday by 6:30 it was -4 degrees.

Every body in the basin has been sick it seems, me included was down in bed for 4 days last week, which I never do. Drue has been home sick since Wed, he is hopefully getting better.

I got called for Jury duty this week and never expected to be picked, but I did.
Now this is a daunting thing, The fact that you hold some persons future basically in the palm of your hand, And whatever you decide determines whatever happens next. Needless to say it was a learning experience. I may go into details about the case later.

Christmas is just 3 days away I haven't even had time to get Christmas cards out , maybe today!
So if you don't get a Christmas card from me Merry Christmas

I realized that the pic of my christmas tree just only showed the lights, So here are some of my handmade ornaments on my tree. Most are made by me and a few are made by artistic friends of mine.

The Christmas tree is up, This is my Favorite time of the year, (well other than having to wrap presents, thank god for the bags that you can just put it in and add a little tissue paper) were all getting together Christmas eve, I always cook a huge meal on Christmas eve then Christmas day we can all just lay around and be lazy and play with our Christmas toys.

We have had new snow every morning since Friday, The most snow we have had in years. hopefully it keeps snowing and doesn't get the bitter cold we had last year

Guess who!

Finally have pictures of Kolby and Her man Daniel!(for all of those out there that have heard me talk of him and were wondering if he really existed)
actually these are really nice pics they had taken with Daniel's family a few months ago ( there better in person as the scanner did a rotten job of scanning )

Snow Days!

So Its happened, Snow, snow, and more Snow

That's seem to to be our story this year the last 3 of 4 trips we have taken we awoken to snow, and now we have about 5 or 6 inches here at the house and this morning at 7:55 it was 5 degrees. Hopefully we don't have as cold of winter as we had last year.

Makes me want to put up my Christmas tree, somehow snow and Christmas just seem to go together. But since it stored out to the shop not sure if I have the energy to go dig it out.

The sun is out now and everything looks wonderful with its new coat will gets some pics as soon as the battery for my camera charges.
