Ending the year 2010

This is actually a picture of Xander's birthday but I dont have a recent one of Jamie. her 29th birthday is today. I wish we could hav e gone over to be with them, but this nasty Wyoming weather. I hope she had a very wonderful day. We start of the New Year with Bill's birthday and I guess mine. We dont count mine any more. Getting way to old. Grateful for all I have . I have the world's most wonderful family and I am thankful for each and every one of them. Happy New Year to all

Christmas 2010

Russ and I got to go down to Crystal and Shanes and Tristens' and Claytons for Christmas dinner. What a wonderful time. They did a very good job. it was nice to have somewhere to go. Their tree was decorated very pretty. All westerny.

The meal was very tasty. They fixed ham and potatoes and rolls and salad and corn and green bean casserole. Very very tasty...

This was our cooks. The work together well. Teamwork always does good.

By the looks of Clayton I think maybe he got up a little early. i think he said he finally went to sleep around 1:00 and then Tristen had them up at 6:00. Not much sleep, but oh the excitement of Christmas.

Tristen looks a little sleepy too. of course its like pulling teeth to get Tristen to smile so this isnt to bad.

Clayton was showing grandpa the things that everyone got. Quite the pile. i think they were all spoiled. Nice to be able to have the things we have.

This is our Christmas tree. it looks very beautiful and was a joy to turn on every morning and eveery evening and enjoy the colors and joy that it brings. Cant believe that Christmas has come and gone already. Tiem goes by way to fast. Thank you to all of our girls and their families for all that they do for us. We love them all very much and we are proud of each and everyone of them. Merry Christmas to all in 2010.....

Winter in Kemmerer

Can you believe all the snow? We got this in just a couple of days and it isnt stopping for now. I like winter, I just dont like driving on the roads.

We have to shovel paths for the dogs because they are so small that they cant make it out to go potty. We shovel for Babe but she insistes on going in the deep stuff. Silly dog anyway.

This is part of our back yard. Tons and tons of snow.

Poor Russ has to do all the shoveling. There is alot of shoveling to do. he does a great job at it too.

Claytons 3rd Grade Program

Clayton had a program at the high school. He was a little elf. he had a short speaking part and he did very well. All the kids did a good job. Im so glad we got to go.

Here is our Clayton standing amid the elves and his class. Way to go Clayton

Clayton...our little elf. he did a great job in his program.....so much fun to go watch the kids.

Clayton is 9

Tristen and Clayton checking out all that Clayton got for his birthday. Im glad we are around to be able to spend it with our kids. I love all my kids and grandkids more than anyone can imagine. They are all very good kids. So proud of each and everyone of them. We must have done something right as parents.

A big truck. A remote control. And its a DODGE.....so cool....love my trucks

A truck....and its a DODGE...imagine that

tristen and Mom watched as Clayton opened his presents. Tristen is sure growing up to be a man...Where has the time gone.

Clayton loved his tractor. Im glad.Too bad it isnt the real thing Presents are so much fun.....hope you like....

Jamie's kids

This isnt one of Jamie's kids, but I had to post a picture of our Babe. She is 14 and slowing down alot. She makes me feel bad some days. I dont know what to do to help her. Love her lots.

Trinity is the big girl of the place. She gets to take care of her brothers while her mom works. What a good girl she is. Such a doll. Love you guys alot.

Our little man Xander is walking all over the place. he didnt want anything to do with us but he would walk around and point things out to us. he is definatly a mini Bill.

On the way back from utah we stopped in Evanston to see jamie and the kids. She was cleaning her school. It was short and sweet but at least we got to see them. This is Quinton and Xander

Thanksgiving 2010

Grandma got to have the company of Jalen sitting beside her. She seemed to really like the dog too. Lucy sure liked her. Mom kept feeding her. Im surprised the dog didnt puck that night. All in all it was a very good time. Thanks Kim and Richard for having us come down and having grandma there. Love you all

Too much Turkey...Kim did a great dinner. Richard looks like he has had to much...funny

Look at the arms on this kid. They are huge. Jalen is really quite the man. he is driving and does so much for his family. What a help he is when Richard is working and Kim has her classes. You dont find to many youg teenagers that are willing to watch their brother and sister. Very proud of you Jalen.

I was kind of shocked when I saw Bryson. he has gotten so much taller than i remember. I guess it has been awhile since we have been down there. Fun time with him . he is such a thinker.

Kenna says that she want to be a model. She is there. She loves to pose for pictures. What a cutie she is. We had a good time with her also.

Mom and Russ at kim's house. Had a good time.
