Christmas 2008

We had Christmas and now it is over. It was a hard time for me and I got through it, not without buckets of tears but I did get through it. We were suppose to have Christmas at my house but it snowed alot so we had to travel to those that did not want to drive in the snow. We ate and it was good I made Prime Rib. I am proud of my self, its not hard to make just very expensive. We won't do that again.

Tori in her dress Grandma Tana made for her. She loves it.

Ethan playing his guitar he loves it!!!

My new cousin

She is like a third cousin or something like that. This is Payton, she is my cousin Embry's granddaughter. Her mommy is Crystal. She got to come and play with us and we loved it. She is a very good baby and I hope she gets to play again soon.

Granby Colorado

The week before Christmas we spent a week in Granby Carls job paid for us all to go and we had a good time. Specially Tori in the snow.

Get a round tuit here.

Thanksgiving Day we went to see Dad and I left him a gift. Carl and I made Round Tuits and I thought my Dad would appreciate one. If you look close at my brother Joshua's blog you can see where he perched it up in the snow on the top of the headstone last week after Grand Junctions first snow storm of the year

Has it really been a month?

This month has truly flew by and evidently I have been busy or just lazy. I enjoy reading every ones blog so I had better keep this updated for those that enjoy mine. We had a great trip to Arizona the weekend of the 15th to move my mom down to the warmth. I will miss her terrible but it is what she has always wanted to do and I need to share her with my siblings. And Mariah, my niece absolutely loves my mom and needs her close by so she has an escape from two brothers.
Carl bought me a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherrokee, my little Camry was nickle and diming us and with kids growing so fast we just did not fit well. It is white with gold trim and has all the bells and whistles. I really like it and it is nice that we all fit.
We had Thanksgiving with Josh at his in-laws, boy do they put on a spread, we ate well then went to Carl's parents and ate again. And I only gained 1 pound!!! Yeah for me.
The weekend after Thanksgiving brought great sorrow, my Daddy's oldest brother Terry passed away on Saturday. Wanting to be there for my Mom, and not knowing her travel plans, Josh and his family, myself and my family drove to Denver Saturday afternoon. The weather was terrible, so after staying the night in Avon Saturday, we arrived in Denver Sunday afternoon. A 24 hour trip. Thank goodness we had my new Jeep, and Carl and Josh have the driving skills they do. Mom flew in on Tuesday, and flew back out Wednesday, so we had a vacation of sorts with Josh's family. We went to the Capital Building and a tour of The Mint. The kids liked it but with it being the end of the year they weren't making money so it was not exciting. We will go again when money is being made.
I hope to keep you all updated more regular, thanks for stopping by.
