Snow Tubing

Richard had an idea to drive up to the mountains today and see if we could find some snow. I had been wanting to go to the Mast General Store so I agreed. Then we thought it would be fun to take the kids snow tubing. Kyle called a couple of friends and we headed out.
We found snow, the roads were pretty good and only two hours from home did we run into lots of snow.





Here is the crowd snow tubing. We had to wait for the 6pm session.

The kids were all bundled up and ready to go.
The sun setting over the snow covered mountain was nice to watch.The kids were having fun before they even got on the snow.
before the next session the plow ran over the lanes a few times, it was getting dark before the kids were able to get out on the snow and the pics were all too dark to tell who is in them.
Everyone had a great time, we stopped to eat on the way home and got back before midnight. All in all it was a good day trip. The boys had a good time goofing off at dinner.

Christmas Morning

We had a late start on presents this morning. Richard had to wait on someone to get to work. He got home after 10. the kids were close to having a fit. But they made it through. We all had coffee and hot cocoa with the Keurig mom bought me for Christmas.



Chad and Casey bought Kyle this present and tried to fool him by wrapping it in a box and taping it good. He had a time getting into it.
Kyle, Richard and Chad all got new mp3 players. Richard has never had one and was thrilled with his. I had already put music on memory cards for them to get them started.

Richard got tools, are you surprised? if all else fails, buy Richard tools.

Kyle and Chad both got airsoft guns with accessories. They plan on doing some serious playing.

We'll Miss You Uncle Bill


Our Uncle Bill passed today in a car accident. In this picture at our wedding he was happy and carefree. We'd like to remember him that way, all his funny stories and confident, bousterous laugh. We will miss you.

My New Jeep

Here's pictures of my jeep, Richard bought it for me a few weeks ago. I am still not driving it on the road yet, it needs some new tires, these ones are shot. We also need to get brackets to put the back seat in.
