Christmas Day

Santa came that morning and it was a blessed Christmas. Jordan got the first present of Christmas

Brinly was really good at opening presents.

Abby got an art kit.

Trish cooked us a Sweedish Christmas dinner with the traditional Sweedish foods. It was really good.

Bryant really liked the Sweedish food.

Paige, Dakota, & Cloe came in red Christmas dresses.

Trish read us a traditional Sweedish Christmas story.

It was fun being with both Trevor's family and Brent's family for Christmas

Christmas

We had Christmas this year with Trevor, Trish and their family. What a beautiful Christmas tree.

Bryant wanted to open every gift until it was really time to open them.

Brinly, Abby and Jordan decorated cookies for Santa.

I didn't get any because they were for Santa.

Uncle Brice was there too, Santa even came with him sleeping on the coach.

Jordan got some cool, Christmas eve socks.

We went to Las Vegas but didn't take any pictures of the city. I did take pictures of Hoover Dam.

They are building a huge bridge over the canyon. It's been a long process, and they're just starting on the cross beams.

These pictures don't show how massive the bridge really is.

Curt is standing by the spill way. It's an incredible feature also.

The better part of Vegas was going to the temple. It helped equal the worldly part of Vegas.

The best part of Vegas was that I got to go with my best friend. We had fun even though Vegas was not our favorite vacation spot.

Wyoming vs. CSU

We went to the Wyoming/CSU game on Friday after Thanksgiving. Wyoming won!!!

Darren was given 4 box seats at the game and he invited his mom and dad to join Brenda and he.

It was on the 45 yard line and I could even see the game develop as it took place. I could have explained it as well as John Madden. We ate prime rib, salads and deserts.

Thanksgiving

These two cousins are always hugging each other. Autumn, Cloe & Dakota

Thanksgiving was fun at Darren & Brenda's house. It was nice having Darren carve the turkey.

Brenda and Becka were standing in the middle of the kitchen putting the dressing in a dish.

Piney had a new haircut and a little blue scarf. She looked very cute

All the Thanksgiving friends and family at Darren & Brenda's. What a good time and memory!!

Galveston, Texas

We went to Galveston, Texas after the space center. The waves were big because of the Hurricane that was coming in. There were people fishing, wading, and surfing. The water was warm, there were people in coats and some in swimsuits. I had so much fun just watching Brice and Cameron play in the water. We wrote our names in the sand and Cameron collected sea shells. Yes, we drove back to Houston in wet clothes.

Johnson Space Center

If you ever go to Houston, Texas, the Johnson Space Center is a must visit. It was an awesome
experience. They have something for everyone. (Cameron, Brice, Spaceman & Cathy)

Brice and Cameron

Texas

Brice and I went to Texas last Thursday. We flew down to see Cameron. I had never been to Texas so it was a good opportunity to go and see Cameron. We visited Cameron's day care and the spiders in Texas are really big.

This is Cameron's school. He's in kindergarten, he has a really nice teacher named Mrs. Ward and he's an excellent student.

I got to do something I've always wanted to do, and that is to go and eat lunch at school with my grandchildren, even if I have to go to Texas.

Brother's together

Curt, Brice, Trevor, Brent and Steve are up elk hunting this week. Every time Curt calls me all I hear is giggling. He said they laughed and talked until 11:00 last night. It's nice to be able to have the brothers together for a little while. They haven't done that for a long time. Darren hopes to join them this weekend. I can't wait until I hear the stories. It makes it all worth it. Curt promised me he would take pictures.

3 John 1:4

I know I'm a little slow but for some reason this scripture just had an incredible impact on me Sunday in church. I guess I'm just proud of all of my children, their wives and our grandchildren. 3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

September hunting

The fall colors are beautiful. It was fun to be out and about. We went deer hunting this weekend. Steve got a deer on Saturday, I'm sure Ruth will have pictures on her blog.

A cow & calf moose walked by and then this little bull moose walked by.

We had to eat lunch at the famous Moondance diner...from New York to LaBarge, WY. The food was great too.

Brice, on top of the world.

Just us and Piney...enjoying the day.

Colorado Visit

Last week I went to hang out in Colorado. I got to play and go to dance lessons. What a fun time.

We also went to a football game and brother gave his sister a hug.

Wyoming Football

Meet me at the Wyoming Bus!! That was the only landmark people could relate to at the tail gating party.

Darren & Brenda are loving the day!!

We even showed up for the tail gating party, and our picture with the Wyoming bus.

Darren, Brenda, Brice, Curt & Ruth...Wyoming fans forever!!!

The sea of gold & brown...the student section shines!!!!!

Brice in the outhouse at Centennial. We went up there for dinner after the game.
