grass from the ice storm


sorry about the delay of the comments. apparently Aaron changed my settings so I had to moderate the comments. so amanda here is the frozen grass.

I will try and change it back so you can just post your comments.

Merry Christmas!

When we were younger we had to sit on the stairs while dad went in and turned on the train and the Christmas lights. here we are waiting to go see what Santa brought. Sarah woke everyone up. She was SO excited. (she did wait until it was light outside :)



We had a LOVELY Christmas in California. Two of the days we were there it was 80 degrees! It was hard coming home to reality. We had fun hanging out with cousins, playing outside (without our coats!) and seeing grandma and grandpa. Sarah's big present was an indoor helicopter (the same as Uncle Patrick and Grandpa :) Becca got a princess doll house and polly pocket, David got a train set, Aaron got a good coat and I got a gym membership (and we all got a trip to CA)



Something funny Becca said last week at church... As we were taking the sacrament I could tell that some poor deacon forgot the bread and they had to scour the freezer and put out what ever they found...when the bread was passed to Becca she said, "this bread is hard as a rock!" I just cracked up and thought she said what we were all thinking.
This week (yesterday) Becca woke up saying that she didn't feel well. We all got ready and when she was coming down the stairs she just threw up. She threw up about 6 times and that was that. I stayed home with her because Fri and Sat I wasn't feeling really great.
If you are reading this you are a real trouper! I love all you guys!

Ice storm after math.

Here is a tree in our neighborhood. I wanted to post it before we left, but for some reason it wouldn't let me. This just gives a little perspective of what ice can do. there were a lot of big trees just destroyed in that storm.

Week in Hershey


I think I missed my calling in life. I watched the show at Hershey Park two nights in a row and LOVED it. I miss singing and dancing. I think if I would have gone to NAU I would have been a music major or been in a show choir. when I didn't make women's choir my Freshman year I felt rejected and never tried out again. I really regret that. oh well.


We had so much fun at Hershey park. Aaron came the first night and he and Sarah went on the Reese's ride 4 times! Back to the show...it was about a soldier away from home and his family was missing him...I cried :( I just kept thinking of my friend who found out her husband is being deployed soon.


Sweet lights was fun too! We drove for about 45 minutes looking at light displays. It was fun! The kids are hanging all over me so I will write more later!

For laughs.


Here are the funnies from the New Era this month. Just click on the image to see it full page. I thought they were funny!
