Update?

Wow.....can't believe it was March 9 that I did my last post...sorry I don't keep this thing more updated! Last week was hubby's b-day and he had a lot of fun! I also took a short trip to Challis...and the trip back was totally scary cause of white out conditions!! Hopefully more later!!!

Wii Fit

Ok I know I haven't been posting very much lately. I haven't been on the computer very much to be honest. I did have a great birthday! Max spoiled me rotten and he got me a Wii and a Wii Fit and it is soo fun!! I play on it every day and I've been going at it for almost a month now.

The Ag Expo

Today we went to the Ag Expo at the Holt Arena. It was fun. Lowell decided to start talking again so we got to go before they closed up shop and left for the year... I snapped a few pics with my phone = )

He loved how big the tires were!!!

He got to get up into a couple of the tractors....WAY COOL!!!

New Year's Eve...

Here's the happening's from New Year's Eve...we went to Etna, near Freedom, WY and spend the time with Mike and Aimee at their house. They were nice enough to put on a party. Of course everyone else who could showed up and it was a total blast!

Lowell and Brandon having fun in the computer chair.



Stan getting ready to blow out the candles on his Birthday Cake.

Everyone, ok almost everyone, in the kitchen having fun and chowing down on dinner!

Where to begin....

As you might have noticed it's been a while since I last posted. I just don't know where to start if I should just omit what has happened during Christmas and New Year's or if I should go a head and do a few posts about it...I'll probably do a few posts w/ pics so you can at least see what the little boy got for Christmas. He isn't so little any more and personally I think he is tanking up to have another huge growth spurt cause he has been majorly chowing down...

Ok well here goes. For Christmas Lowell had a very Thomas Christmas...

He got so much Thomas stuff he isn't even sure what to do with it all.

Lowell playing with his BIG legos!

His new Thomas Tracks = )

His Thomas books.

My New Pitcher

It snowed just a bit on Christmas Eve...we had to help get a couple of people unstuck from the street cause there was that much.

Thanksgiving & Black Friday

Well, Thanksgiving is over and it was pretty tasty here!!! Ya just gotta love the turkey and the super yummy gravy...we had different kind of stuffing this year and it was ok. We had LOTS of potatoes...and I do mean LOTS!! I keep telling everyone that we need a smaller turkey and yet every year we end up with quite a few left overs...which in a normal year isn't all that bad. This year though it was a little bit bad. My mom, dad, sister, and her fiancee are leaving town to go and go on a cruise.

Black Friday was just stupid crazy. There were so many cars parked at the Walmart store that you could almost stroll into the other stores...

You had to HUNT and HUNT for a parking spot and when my mom and I finally got into Walmart the line to check out was at least a 45 min wait cause the lines went all the way to the back of the store. Like I said stupid crazy. We didn't wait because it just didn't seem worth it to us to wait like that. We did manage to take advantage of at least one deal that was going on which was a plus.

I hope that all the rest of the people who went shopping this morning were able to get what they wanted and that they were able to avoid injury...I honestly have heard on the news about some injuries already occurring during the Black Friday Sales...

Hope you all had a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!!! Enjoy the start of the Christmas Season...

Holiday Mix Up??

Starting last Saturday my favorite local radio station started playing Christmas music...I'm just not sure what to put after that but I am thinking that they are going on the banned music list until after Thanksgiving...every morning when I wake up and hear Christmas Music I just start to feel all dazed and disoriented cause I'm not really sure if Thursday is Thanksgiving or if it is really Christmas Day. I think it is sad because Thanksgiving is becoming just another day (because we don't buy presents at Thanksgiving is why I think retailers and others are trying to push it out of the picture). I think that Thanksgiving should ALWAYS be special!!! It is a time for giving thanks for all that you have...a time to reflect on the year and take a pause out of your busy life and just be with and think about friends and family. I know most people do that at Christmas but I am one who starts that sort of thinking at Thanksgiving time.

I think that Thanksgiving is the ONLY way to kick off the Christmas season! Without Thanksgiving...I'm just not sure if everyone would be in a truly thankful type of mood for Christmas. That and Christmas is NOT about the presents...I mean comon...you show your kids how much you love them by how much you get them??? That is beyond stupid and absurd!!

I think I am going to go kill our radios or else change them to the country stations until after Thursday because the lady DJ who started the whole let's play Christmas music before Thanksgiving thinks that this is totally wonderful that they are playing the music now...I usually find it a treat when on Friday, black Friday, I get up and I can listen to Christmas Music while I beat my way through the crowds....not really....JK!!!! I do like to listen to it while I am waiting for that one store that I was going to go to opens...it is nice...but this year it has just been ruined for me with them playing the Christmas music sooo early!!

Ok I guess I am done ranting and raving...plus I still have to go help my Grandma clean up her kitchen to get it ready for Thursday... have fun and don't zonk out too bad from the ultra yummy turkey!!!!
