A beautiful winter wonderland

We made a trip to the Colorado cabin to clean out the frig, drain the water tanks, put out the rat poison (yuck) and winterize. As you can see, we weren't any too soon as the snow has already fallen and everything is icy and cold.

The cows were all content, laying under the tree. They don't even seem to realize how cold it really is.

Guess who's coming to dinner????

Paco is patiently waiting for our dinner guests and wearing his

"I like Mike" shirt

Mike Lee, candidate for the U.S. Senate posed with the campaigning donkey.
We and Mike Lee and his campaign staff members enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by Jeremy and......
........the cheesecake prepared by Stacy.
What a fun evening with some very nice people. ( Mike Lee won the election a few days later:)

Family Times

Here are a random assortment of fun family times from the past couple of weeks!!

Scout had a birthday. She is two.


We had fun at McDonalds on Scout's birthday
The Redds had us over for dinner to celebrate Camryn's birthday. She wasn't real thrilled about blowing out the candles or having her picture taken.

Pumpkin carving time at our house. What a mess!!!!

Putting together puzzles with Uncle Taylor
Kristi giving Scout and Maxon rides on Trigger.

Riding that horse just wears you out

Aleyah came to visit Grandpa and Grandma while her

parents were on a trip.

It might not look like it but she really did

have a fun time trick or treating.

The boys are all dressed up for trick or treating
Camryn was so excited to get her new glasses. Doesn't she look cute?
