Happy New Year!

We had a nice holiday with lots of family time. Janae came in on Tuesday and didn't have trouble getting here even though there was freezing weather. We spent Christmas Eve in Sheridan and since it was warm we took photos around the pasture since we are about to sell it.

Callie is walking everywhere! Eden and Weston are getting taller!

Both girls were engaged this year. Both of their guys were here part of the time too!

After Christmas morning at home we met the Sanders gang at Mom's. Lots of food, gifts and playing Catch Phrase.

We celebrated the New Year quietly and have enjoyed hubby's vacation.

Winter weather

We had sleet Monday and were frozen in on Tuesday. Today it seems the thaw will come. It was crazy how rolled off the house and piled up in some places. Below is a before and after by the door. It looks very wintery but it's all ice so walking was slippery.

Let the Holidays begin!!

Greetings from the bad blogger:

Busy with decorating and a house full of family for Thanksgiving.

We had a great weekend with both sides of the family. Daughter #1 and her fiancee came in from TX and Daughter #2's honey was here also. Lots of food and fun. Boys eat alot did you know that? Our siblings and their families and our Mom's were also here and we can't forget the 5 dogs!!! 7 if you count the 2 at SIL's. We went from our house to SIL's house to hang out and eat. Cute baby girl, food, teens, football, dogs, trampoline, food, pool, dishes, poker, food. We had a good time.

Next week I'm hosting an open house for my club so my house is looking festive and now I need to focus on the shopping part. Lots going on.

Photos look like Christmas because I decorated early.

Look who turned One!

October

Went to Houston to see Janae and Tyler. Went to "the dress" fitting and it's a perfect fit! Did some shopping too. Also had fun with my friend Betsy and her friend Joni celebrating their birthdays!

Family reunion in Sheridan with the cousins. Lovely day and Janae and Tyler came home for that too.







During her fall break Krysta was in CA visiting Matt.

Annual scrapbook weekend at Ferncliff this past weekend. Another lovely weekend with friends and I did some scrapbooking and worked on a wedding project.

Happy Birthday Copper!

Class of 78 is great!

My class reunion was great! The turnout was good and we had a wonderful time catching up with old friends. Working with the committee for the past several months was really fun too!

Here comes Ike

Edit: Janae made it through the storm but said it was very loud and scary. She stayed with the neighbors and they all lost power and part of a tree fell on the neighbors house but her house was fine. Tyler made it home on Monday. They spent the week grilling up the meat from the freezer before it spoiled.

Big winds here on Sat. night but not much actual rain.

The last word from Janae...she was going to grill some burgers for her neighbors and hopefully she slept some this afternoon when things calmed down. Now they will deal with no power but hopefully not for too long.

Looks like we are in for a wet night!

Hurricane Ike

Janae is prepared but a little scared (she lives north of Houston). She plans to hang out with her neighbors and she has my friend and her husband as a back up. Tyler is flying so he won't get back in until after the storm. Pray for everyone in this area.

Last year we celebrated their 30th anniversary. We kind of knew Daddy’s health was going down and now eight months without him that celebration is even more special.

Hugs to Betty thinking of you today...hope you feel better soon. (she's recovering from carpal tunnel surgery).
