GREAT WEEKEND!!












We had a fun time in Utah. It was a much needed get away. We visited Grandma and Grandpa and had a great game of Yahtzee. Both grandma and grandpa did very well. Grandma even showed a little of her dry wit and we all laughed and laughed. It was so good to hear them laugh. It almost felt like old times. It is so hard to see them age. Linda has been down visiting Kim so she came over & played with us. As you can tell Linda won. FUN! FUN!


As you can tell I have not succeeded in putting this in the right order. Oh well!! After visiting grandma and grandpa we went out to Shawn and Tammy's and spent the night. Saturday we went to Lincoln's basketball game (in which he did a great job) then we all went to the Clark Planetarium. We watched a film on all the planets and stars. It was pictured on the dome and it really was interesting. After we went back and played Wii. It was fun. Those boys are really good. Tate, Jonah and Kiegan you are going to have to have a tournament with them because I know that you are really good too.
We had stopped at the Birch's on Friday on the way down and visited them for a little while and then stopped again on the way home. They are doing good.
To end the trip we stopped in Idaho Falls and ate dinner at the Olive Garden. We hadn't eaten there for a long time. It was wonderful.
Now home and hanging out. Always nice to go somewhere but always nice to be home.
Tomorrow we are taking the holiday and clean house and then go get massages.


































It was 12 degrees, Cold!!! But absolutely beautiful. It had been foggy for the past couple of days and major foggy the night before. In the morning everything was white with frost. We were headed for Utah. I told Lyle that I wish I would have brought my camera and of course he says that his is right there on the back seat. His has been very intimidating for me because it has so many things on it. He told me to just go for it. So yes I went for it and here are some of the results. It is hard to get the full affect of how beautiful it was but not too bad for riding in the car and clicking away.

Oh how I'm so jealous. I wish I could have been playing with you guys. I miss you all so terribly. The pictures are beautiful. I love snow on trees. It is so pretty. It sounds like you had a great weekend.

That sounds like a great time! Everytime I see a picture of grandma and grandpa it makes me sad. Linda too. I am glad you had a great trip.
