We all thought of Kevin tonight when we watched a special about the B2 bomber. It was awesome! We love you Kevin and appreciate what you do!
The Ables

Tanner sent me a birthday card. What a sweetheart. This prompted me to finally post my pics and videos from the pow wow last year.

Love you all!

I got our cd from our photo session in November.

Don't you love this?!

I posted some of Mar on her blog and will post more of everyone on our family blog later.

Mom & Dad, I'm sending you new pics for the mantle, in the right size!

There were so many more good ones I hadn't seen. I want to give you different ones.

Love you!

Fairy Boy

Let me start by saying he put himself in this get up.

Next let me say that although this is funny to you and me it is by all means NOT FUNNY to Kevin! Which makes it even more funny to me, which makes Kevin more mad.

It's a vicious cycle.

The only reason he is crying is because he bonked his head. I should be comforting him but the irony of him crying whilst dressed like

"FAIRY BOY"

was too good to pass up.

Everyone can be watching for this pic in a wedding video in about 25 years.

Love you!

I thought of Kevin yesterday. Dad and I were in a sporting goods store purchasing some ski clothes so Dad can go skiing tomorrow (Hooray, some fun diversion and can you believe he is not skiing in his levis). A man of about 70 came in as we were walking out and I heard him ask, "Do you give a military discount in your store?" "No" replied to store employee. And I thought, "There is Kevin in about 40 years, going for all the military discounts he can get." It made me smile. Love ya Kev!

Happy Holidays!!
We love you all!!

My dream fulfilled! Skiing with my family!!

Brad spent the day in the lodge.

Ice skating on lake Blaine in Montana. Bitterly freezing cold, but so fun. It doesn't get much prettier than the day we had there.

I thought of all you kids on New Years day. Dad and I watched some football, (0f course)and I kept picturing all the years we spent watching football and playing games and eating. The bar in the kitchen was always overflowing with yummy food! One of my favorite traditions as of the last few years is to have the sons-in-law get together to play their games late into the night while the moms try and keep the kids in check (impossible), finally giving up and going home to nice warm beds. I sure love those sons-in-law and all their great antics.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Mason loves to get into the garbage!

Christmas Sunday

Josie was so excited about leaving out cookies and milk for Santa, and carrots for the reindeer. I think she was more excited about the empty plate on Christmas morning than she was her presents.

I thought of dad this week when we took all the kids skiing. It was one of the best days of my life to spend the day on the slopes with Rick and the kids; even though it was 2 below!!! Thank you dad for all the fun memories of skiing! Hopefully there will be more to come!! Pictures soon to come of our fun day!
