We had a wonderful weekend. sunday afternoon we had several people to dinner and some of them were Matt and Vivi and family. The Morrisons, Grandma too, came and spent the night. We played games and talked, it was great. This picture is of Ellie Belly setting the table for breakfast.

David, Matt and Larry used scrape boards to build a fish tank base. They had to make it then dissemble it for getting it home in the car. The girls made cookies and sent them down to the hard working mem!

Matt wouldn't go for it, but Elli and I had cookie dough, yum,

We were around our kitchen table a lot. We were either talking, eating or playing games. Grandma did quit well for having a language beerier.




We were out side and saw this paw print in the ice, there were others too. We think they were turkeys. Let's hope it is safe to have small children on the porch from time to time.


This is a picture of the non Christmas decorated bookshelves. What do you think, to much stuff, more books, less books?????

We had company on our doorstep Wednesday and it was freezing. It would puff up and hide his head and would not fly away when Larry got close. Larry came inside with the bird and we but it in a big box with a towel and some food.


We put it in the squirrel trap. We fed it and kept it warm.


It was fun to see it move around. By morning it was feeling trapped so Larry open the cage and he ran out. We love the birds and they have loved the food especially with the snow.

This is Larry's pictures of me going up the hill to take pictures of the snow. check out all the previous set of pictures that I blogged.

This is how I dressed for today, do you like my Santa boots! This is Jan 10th and we have SNOW! It is beautiful, I dressed for winter, just so I could take pictures. This looks like Utah!

This is our covered front porch

This is the 12 foot covered back porch. Even the pillows on the wicker chairs is covered.

It is so pretty but we have an ice storm coming too! Freezing Rain! It's hot chocolate and build a fire weather. Maybe a movie too.

Please click on to see all the pictures of 2011. I have a hard time doing them all at once. I am getting better at this blogging but it isn't easy for me

Reagan wasn't at the McDonald with the other grand kids, but I had a sideways pictures of her and now you can see all my grand kids. I love them all.





This is Martin's family, in order. Chase, Brandon, Cayden and Callie. They were at McDonald with Travis's family.

I know these pictures are crocked but it is worth twisting your neck to see these cute grand kids of ours. Just so my kids know I corrected the pictures on Picasso but this still happened. Travis' family and Martin's families and Nathan met at MC Donald's for a gathering right before Christmas. Nathan was on assignment to bring Grandma some pictures. These are of Travis' family. Troy, Jordon, Elise and Sierra
