Snowmobile Trip
We went to our friends cabin last weekend to snowmobile. Oh my goodness it was fabulous!! We left Brad home with Mandi because he is not a fan of the cold and snow yet. The powder up there was insane! It snowed and snowed and we had 2 feet of fresh powder on top of what was already there. It was glorious and I thought of all of you while I was there, especially dad. You would have loved riding the snowmobile in the amazing powder! I put a bunch of pics on my other blog but didn't want to download them all again.

KC Temple

We are so excited about haveing a temple close by.

I checked a blog today that documents the progress of the Kansas City temple and loved some of the photos.

What a great shot. The temple will be breathtaking from the freeway!

Burke's Big Day
Burke was baptized last Saturday and it was fabulous! It was such a good day! I am so mad because this is the only picture I got of him in is white clothes. I was running aroung doing other things and totally spaced taking more pictures. What a dummy!!Burke was so happy all day! He smiled and was so cheerful! He is not a man of many words, and he just said that he felt happy.

We took him to the temple right after his baptism and he was so funny. He was so tired he barely stayed awake on the way there. He didn't say much while we were there, but I know he felt the Spirit and is so happy to be a member of the church.

The Man From Snowy River

Yesterday we watched "The Man From Snowy River."

It was so nostalgic!

I still loved it, and think it is such a good movie.

Jim Craig is one of the most studly characters ever written.

Just like the old days Jessica's hair and mouth drove me crazy.

I can't wait to watch the second one! Even though Jessica's hair gets worse.

Love you all.....and love thinking about you!

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.
