New Years Day

Joyce and Bob were lucky enough to spend the week from Christmas through New Years in Star Valley. What a great time. Shane, Jen, Paige, and Hailey came up on New Years Day. As you can see from the pictures below, we have lots of snow and fun for all.

Yes we have the pile of snow that is shoveled off the deck.

I wonder if I am brave enough to jump?

Why not!!! You only live once. Yes even your hair flies up. What fun this is.

As you can see in this picture, the snow is not as deep as usual. We did get about a foot of snow during the week we were there. Can't wait to be here full time.

Family Christmas at Criag's Home

We all got together at Craig's home the day after Christmas. It was really great to see all the grandchildren having such a good time together. Oakley was taking it all in with her bear. Yes grandma always gives pajamas for Christmas. Even Paige is not too old. Can't you see how excited she is?

Grandma keeps the paper cleaned up and out of the way. Oh what fun.

What fun it is to open presents and compare with your friends.

We had a great day together. As you can see above, Grandpa even got to bond with Oakley. It is great to have such a close family and we are able to share our love with each other.

This Christmas Season gives us the opportunity to appreciate the things we are blessed with.

The Big Fire in Mud Lake

Christmas Day we went out to Mud Lake and visited with Grandma Shuldberg. The week before there was a gas explosion at the station in Mud Lake. As you can see from the pictures, the semi tractor and one of the tanker trailers burned to the ground. Three of the bulk tanks were destroyed. Flames could be seen for miles. This was the most excitement in Mud Lake in a long time.
