My New Year's Quote !

Youth is when your allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when your forced to!

I'm learning lots of new things on the blog, thanks to Elise (my cute niece) and her knowledge of how to download and do fun things to your pictures. These last two pics are just some foolin' around stuff and so far it's pretty fun. Enjoy!

Christmas Morning !

Christmas Day Fun

This is Kenzi at the Garden of Eden gas station at 11:00 pm on Christmas night. We drove to Twin at 9:00 pm to pick up Ez and his plane hadn't left SLC. They shut down the SLC airport two times that night and it was crazy. The weather was was snowy and icy. Ez was scheduled to leave on Sunday before Christmas but Portland and Seattle were closed two days in a row. So he rented a car and drove to Grandma Nita's then flew to Twin on Christmas. He finally made it and we were glad to have him. This was a season to remember!

Nutcracker Weekend

We had a blast this year for Nutcracker. It was Kenzi's 10th and final year of dancing in the Nutcracker. Her solos were Harlequin and the Arabian. She did awesome and nailed her poses. We're so proud of her. We had an open house to honor her on Saturday night and we had lots of friends and family to help us celebrate.

Thanks to all our family and friends who helped make this special time extra fun for our family.

Michael, Michelly and Matthew

I need to post these crazy kids. They had so much fun together. Cousins are the best!

My Thought for the Day. . .
