Bad news.

This year is 'going out' with a whole string of bad news, seemingly even on an hourly basis....! It was a 'hard year' all the way around, but this last week might be the last straw that 'broke my camels back'. Let's all pray for a super wonderful, good news new year! :)

Not so much fun anymore!!

It keeps snowing and snowing and snowing.....which makes shoveling, however you do it not quite as much fun!

Fun for Dad

The neighbors let dad borrow their golf cart snowplow to 'shovel' the driveway. It made shoveling tons of fun!!! ==There was a lot of ice under the snow, so you couldn't plow all of that off.....but at least is got the 'bulk" of the snow off!

A few pictures I missed posting earlier

Elisabeth and Grandpa sleeping in the chair

Cute Elijah

Really cute big tennis balls are lots of fun!

Kids

Put that poor boy to bed. (Joshua actually fell asleep ON the bar stool!)

Getting a haircut is 'no fun, neither'

Finally got a picture of 'just' Brennan!

Don't breathe!!

What looks like beautiful Oregon fog is actually frozen Utah Air Pollution! Ouch!

The biggest loser!

Out of the last 49 Scrabble games dad and I have played {Our 'notebook of scores'}-----I have LOST 40 times. Now, this last game I had 3 seven letter words........That is an extra 150 points. Of course, dad ALSO got 3 seven letter words...............
At least I'm GOOD at losing!

How stupid!

I 'missed' a step in going down our stairs (slipped on the third one from the bottom, so only 'fell' down two) while I was carrying EmmaRay. She, luckily wasn't hurt at all, but I crashed my head, my knee and twisted my ankle. Ouch! How dumb can I be? This old body just isn't as flexible as it used to be!--or as coordinated!!!

Lisa and I had 'fun' today.

Both Lisa and I had the stomach flu today. Yeah, and it was no fun, neither.

Perfect Snow!

We are having the most perfect snowstorm. Big, fat fluffy flakes gently falling down. So pretty. This is perfect snowman snow.......want to come and help me build one?

Cute people that came to visit me!

Grace
(As shown above-wow!, just look at all their eyes! Beautiful!)

I got individual pictures of all of the grandchildren, except for Brennan!

Walking up to the park to play football!

Go Ezra, go!

It was tons of fun but a little tricky playing football with so many little children!
