Now at our home...20% chance of snow looks about the same as 80% chance of snow.
Gotta luv AZ weather....

Happy Birthday, Tucker....#18 - exciting things like paper work, getting wisdom teeth out, paper work, school work, paper work, etc.  Getting ready to turn everything in to the Bishop - and hoping to have a mission call fairly soon.  Available as soon as school is out.....
Wonder, Wonder, Wonder......2 of his friends have already received their calls to serve in Mexico...

Hay Bug with her tinker toy contraption...
 These two just about break our legs coming in the house every chance they get.....
 A tinker toy elk for Ellie....
 Haylee at the piano...Don't know why we didn't get one of Ellie playing, too....

 A little beauty in the dead of winter...the orchids are blooming and blooming....
 You can run, but you can't hide from Ellie and the camera--even behind the ironing board...she loves taking photos of all kinds of things....hee  hee
Uncle Bill's lambs are coming in bunches now.  These are the first ones...



 Spotted ones, too


These lovelies have been visiting quite a bit in the early morning.  There are 4 of them.  Two right there in the middle and the other two are up a bit and to the right...

Yep, this has been the routine around here...nasty stuff...Grandpa actually had the "
flu" - Grandma got away with the sinus and ear infection thing.  

Even this little girl has had a cold...I caught her the other day pulling the  tissues out of the box and playing with them....
 Kirsty and Stuart - cutting the cake...cute couple--
 Haylee is 4 years old!  It doesn't seem possible...just that long ago we were in CT. - Ellie had stayed with us at the motel and we went to the hospital after Jared called and told us Haylee was here.  We walked in and the Dr. said, "That's a pretty big baby you've got there."  Grandma said, "How big?"  The nurse said, "A little over 9 lbs."  WOW and what a doll she is!!!

 Tarrik played a good game...He works hard at getting great grades and playing sports, too.


 Isn't this interesting---see the ice on Grandpa's truck...
 Droplets frozen on the gate post....


 This is the top of the dog house---see the ice crystals standing up along the tip....
