Merry Christmas to all........

Christmas morning in ABQ!

Kyle was happy with his COLTS attire that Michelle had made him (blanket)
Carly being a Christmas present.

Santa Claus was good to the kids. We were served food all morning.
Our house before we left for ABQ.
Notice the stove against the wall. This was our present to each other and we LOVE it!
Some nerdy people we felt sorry for and brought them in.
Cute reindeer.

Hope all survived the Holidays!

AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!!!

Its beginning to look alot like Christmas!!

This is what our day looks like today. Isn't it great and the snow is still coming. Probably about 8 inches right now.

The back yard. All we need is a couple of deer.

Just a mish/mash of stuff

Aunt Katie and Carly at "the pond" in Helper. Fun times!
Good picture of the surroundings at the Green River fishing. This is Jodie, the only one who caught a fish!!!
"And a river runs thru it" or "They run thru the river?"
Frosty morning on the first day of the deer hunt.

My downloading of pictures is not working well. I think our tower is broken. But here are some pictures of fishing.

Here is mighty fisher-woman Jodie fishing on the "Green". It was alotof fun and a beautiful day.

Here is the teacher (Brent) teaching the student (Craig) the art of fly fishing . I am just glad that they didnt fall in.

And Spencer and the grandpa. This was taken at Gigollotti pond during the wedding weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

What happy smiling cousins! Glad we had leaves for them to play in. Still no snow.





I forgot to take pictures of our Thanksgiving Feast. Can't believe it! Hope all of you out there in blogger-land had a good Thanksgiving. We had a great one and feeling the hangover today.

We are very greatful for all our blessings but not just now but all thru the year. AND we are certainly greatful for all those who have been better at updating their blogs!! Yeah! And for all those who are regulars--way to be! Craig and I do enjoy reading them and it has been a good thing. So keep it up.....

Wedding over--moving into the poor house--still smiling

Happy Halloween!!

Deer Hunts and showers

The mighty hunters looking over the scenic eastern Utah for those elusive bucks. What beautiful country and lots and lots of it!

Goofing around on the rocks. What a fun day it was!!

And then there was LARA'S shower here in Spring Glen. It was a lot of fun and everyone was really good to her as you can see.

Travis and the Coyote! Ahh the desert!

It has been a very busy week but I throughly enjoyed having everyone here. Jeff flew in from PA and those from Vegas came up. Our trip thru the San Raphael Swell was so beautiful and amazing to see this country that I didn't even know existed. That is what it is all about.....the memories. But two deer were gotten, as well. Life is good!

Sorry it has been so long.........

Going over the Rockies on our road trip to West Virginia. The roads were ice going down toward Denver so Craig flipped the 4 wheel on and we kept going-passing the semi-trucks that were pulled over.

Kansas City!

We have been gone on a road trip back East and after 9 days of road tripping, I came home already to blog our pictures and out internet wouldn't work so....finally up and running here is our updated blog.

As you can see we passed by the arch in St. Louis, MO. What and interesting sight! But the traffic was bad going both ways so couldn't enjoy it a whole lot.

This one of the things that we were hauling. Cute isn't it??! This is unloading it in West Virginia.

Here is charming Craig as we are doing a little hiking around WV
This is what we looked like going down the road....cool, huh?

It was a fun trip but glad to get home again. It took 3 days to drive back there-about 10 to 12 hours each day. And the same on the way back. 3,800 hundred miles. Never complain about the long ride to ABQ again....(well, maybe) We did stop in Independance, MO which we throughly enjoyed even if it was just for a couple of hours.

First Day of Fall???

Yes, it is the first day of fall and I have the bruises to prove it! I slipped and fell out the back door down the steps. Kind of weird. I must be getting old. I looked around really quick hoping that no one had watched me fall and then it hurt so bad and I could'nt get up for a bit that I was kind of hoping maybe somebody had. But I am good to go, now. Just black and blue (mostly my pride)

These picturese look like they might have been taken up on Cove, but they were taken between Craig, Co. and Baggs, WY. Craig was over there working last week and I tagged along and this was one of the rides we went on one morning. It is definately "Fall." Love it!
This is a picture I took out our hotel room in Craig Colorado. Antelope all over.
Here is a cute picture that we took up Indian Canyon for wedding invitations. I think it shows maybe some of Jarek's personality----Ha!

No, we are excited to have Jarek in our family. Good choice,La-La!

Labor Day

This past week has been busy, busy. On Thursday (or Wed) met Jarek and LaraLee in Provo to pick up a wedding dress. Of course, Jarek was cautioned to leave for awhile so he couldn't see it.

Then we went to a mine down in Colorado and then we had to troddle down to Albuquerque for the weekend. smile

Then Tuesday Craig needed to be in Wyoming at another mine so off we go again and stayed in the wonderful town of Rock Springs!! Past Flaming Gorge Res. which was the first for me.

Then we returned home Wednesday to a hail storm. Flowers are shredded again. That is another week in the life of me. I've got to stay home and start getting wedding things done. Ahhhh!!!
