Happy Birthday Payton! January 14, 2015

Our grandson, Payton, turns 3 today!  He is such a cutie pie!

I took him to get a yogurt for his birthday!  He sure is getting good at talking.  He and I can have a conversation and I understand what he is saying.  This is such a fun stage.  He is so cute and fun to be around.  He really knows what he wants.  I am so glad that he lives close by and we get to spend lots of time together.

It doesn't matter what flavor yogurt he gets as long as it has gummy bears in it!  Happy Birthday Payton!

Chelsi's 24th Birthday! January 10, 2015

Chelsi's real birthday is January 11th, but it falls on a Sunday this year.  So we celebrated on Saturday by going to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Clinton sacrificed to be here, he is getting over the flu.  He sat in the car alot while we shopped and walked around Jackson.  We took a picture in front of the antlers. It is beautiful with the lights on and the sun going down.

We ate at this great Bistro for her birthday dinner.  It was great to have this paper tablecloth so we could write Chelsi her birthday wishes.

The birthday girl!  I can't believe she is 24 already!  She is such a lovely young lady!  We are really enjoying having her around! Happy Birthday Chelsi!

Kimmi and Cold Stone Jan 3, 2015

I got to spend some one-on-time with Kimmi.  Of course we had to go to Cold Stone and get us some yummy ice cream!  She is 3 now.  She is getting to be such a big girl.  I love her bubbly personality.  I just love when we can have conversation.  It helps me to get to know her better.

Family Time at the Cabin Dec 27th 2014 to Jan 1st 2015

What a blessing it was to be able to go to Camp Albin with our family between Christmas and New Years.  We did lots of fun things! Saturday Clinton, Chesli and I went up to open up the cabin and get everything ready for the family.  Tyson, Courtnie and the kids came up late that night

On Sunday we went to church.  I am so glad there is a church in Island Park.  I don't like to miss.  It is a very important part of our lives.  Brock and Carrie came up after their church was over.  They had to fulfill their assignments before they could come.

We spent the afternoon on Sunday sledding off the deck and just enjoying the snow!  Chelsi, Tyson, Emma, Kaden and Kimmi just couldn't get enough.

Grandma and Grandpa are enjoying the snow too!

Can you believe how much it snowed in the last two days?  The timing was perfect!

Grandma and Kaden playing some bumper pool!

This is hilarious!  Emma felt very uncomfortable using the bathroom with this bear watching.  So she covered his eyes with toilet paper!  She really cracks me up with the things she says and does!

Payton, Emma and Kimmi really liked playing school!

We took a road trip into West Yellowstone.  We rented a room so we could all change our clothes and they let us swim and have a picnic in the pool area.  We were surprised at how cold the water was.

We went to the Discovery Center to see the bears and wolves.  It was pretty cool.  This couch was the coolest!

Because of the good snow conditions we went on several snowmachine rides!  This is Brock, Carrie, Payton and Braden.

The temperature outside was so cold, way below zero, we got lots of opportunities to play games!  I just love to play games with the grand kids!  It is one of my favorite things!  I love spending time with the family!
