Lunar Eclipse

It's almost gone.
I was amazed that this one turned out this color!

And it starts. (Oops, I put these on in the wrong order!)

Fun with cropping

Stacy came over to do some scrapbooking. (Alena did, too!)
Hey, Look! We all got cards!

Asher's funny face.

Hmm.....Who did he learn this from?

Lifestyle Change

I am trying to change my lifestyle. Well, I'm trying to change the eating part of my lifestyle. I am focusing more on that right now and I will add changing more of my sedentary lifestyle later. So far, my food changes have caused me to lose 10.8 lbs since 1/1. Yay! Wish me luck in this.

Christmas!

I think I'll kill Alena off and steal her presents!
Mom and Dad gave this pretty ornament to Alena & Nick.

Like my present?

I crocheted Dad a Gromit. Thanks for the pattern, Marjorie.

When we got bored, mom put gel in Asher's hair.

The gel made Asher's hair look long, so Jason cut his hair. Asher didn't like the pieces of hair.

Asher then had a bath before he left. He loved to splash!

Jessi's Visit

While here to visit, Jessi and Alena visited Grandma.
Grandma was very happy to see her!

Alena and Nick had a Christmas party. One of the gifts given was an inflatable moose head.

Robert and Carrie also went to lunch with Grandma, Alena, and Jessi.

Christmas Dinner at the Springs

We all gathered together for a nice meal with Grandma.
Alena looked very pretty in her green dress.

Kim had a lot of fun!

Roger & Luana

Alena & Nick

Introducing Larry Boy!

I realized that I hadn't put a good picture of Asher in his Halloween costume on here, so here he is. He is that hero!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We were freezing while we took this picture. There is nothing like a family picture in 20 degree weather! :)

Grandma helping mom in the kitchen.

Asher sucking his sock while he vegges out with Veggies.

Alena and Nick

Mom cutting the apple pie. It was kind of squishy.

We played UNO Attack. It was fun!

The machine had fun spitting cards at Alena. She had poor luck in that game!

UNO Attack can be pretty funny!

Kim and Jason's birthday

Kim loves her gift!

Jason loves his cars figurines.

We had chocolate mousse for dessert.

Mom and Asher had lots of fun together.

More Pictures from the concert

Steven Curtis Chapman concert

For Kim's birthday, mom gave her tickets to the Steven Curtis Chapman concert. I got to go with her! It was the first concert of its type that either of us has ever been to. It was a lot of fun! There were two headliners: Bethany Dillon and Sanctus Real.

Bethany Dillon. Her music was nice.
Sanctus Real. Their music was loud. I didn't like it much.

The man of the hour: Steven Curtis Chapman!

In a cloud of purple haze.

His music was great, of course. Why would it be anything else? I really enjoyed it, even if I may have permanent hearing loss! I'd go and see him again if he comes this way.

More pictures!

The motley crew with their leader - Larry Boy!

Beep Beep! Get out of my way........please!

Yay! I'm playing the piano with grandma!

Teeny boy and mommy on the swings.

And now you, too, can have sparkling white teeth like Asher if you use baby paste!

Going on a Train Ride!

MRL had its 20th anniversary train ride from Missoula to Dixon and back. We took Grandma along for the ride.

Ready to go with our commemorative lunch boxes. ;)
I'm on a train! Grandma seems excited!

EEK! Mom and I walked from car to car. It was interesting walking between them. The plates shifted and we had to be careful where our feet were.

A man waves to the train as it goes by.

Grandma watches the scenery.

That was fun!
