Wow! It's a new year and new beginning! We can make new resolutions and hopefully keep some of them and try to do better in all that we do. 2008 was a great year! We had 2 new grand-children come into the world, traveled from AK through Canada to Idaho, Utah and Nevada to visit all the kids who have moved. And, we've just had fun!
The new year is beginning with some record cold temps that we haven't had since the 80's...yippee!! For a week or more we've had temps to just about -50...that's negative 50! Last night Ralph had scouts over to spend the night and build snow caves that they actually slept in all night! And, up here in the hills where it's usually warmer, it was still -40! We were really excited to see that everyone had survived the night and we didn't have any popsicle scouts!
Ian has been home since mid-July and is returning to BYU-Idaho on Monday, Jan 5. It's been nice to have him home and we'll sure miss him but he's really excited to be getting back to Idaho.
Delaney and Brad moved to Ft. Wayne, Indiana where Brad is playing for the Ft Wayne Komets...hockey! Their little boy, Daegon is growing so fast and is so danged cute! We miss them too...so much!
Scott and Kluane welcomed their third child...the first grand-daughter in October. I got to go down for a week visit to meet Cambrie and have some time with the boys (Kaiden and Connor) and of course Scott and Kluane. I wish I could visit more often because I miss them too...so much!
The girls are all doing well! Mallory is half way through her first year in high school. She started off the new year on the West Valley Swim team and made it all the way to state championships! Nattie is in the 10th grade and doing great with school, Abigail is in the 5th grade (and also a swimmer) and Annie is in 4th grade. All four girls will begin piano lessons this coming week and are very excited!
That's our excitement! I need to write more often so these posts aren't so long!!
