Happenings in January so far

Cash is enjoying going to "Giggles" near their home.  They met with friends and had a great time for birthdays.  Sometimes, Manda takes him alone.  He loves to run and play, and it's a great place to get the wiggles/giggles out ! 

Landon brought Bright to our home on her birthday, where we were able to visit with them, and give her a birthday card with "dancer" earrings.  Her picture book is ordered and on it's way.  Roger and I were also able to go to lunch at Mod Pizza in Riverdale on MY birthday with Landon.  It was great to be with him and just visit. 

We had a visitor with weird horns out our back window one evening. 

I turned 63 !   Don't know if I like getting older.......
I love my kids, and the love they show me.  Grandkids too !
And of course, Roger.  Don't know what I'd do without him. 

Zac and CJ and Thatcher went up Hardscrabble and slept in a tent (on their Jeep) overnight to celebrate the New Year.  They had a fire, and lit fireworks.  They went with Traci Glass and family. 
Tagg and Treyson went to friend parties.

Tagg took 3rd place at the Richardson Memorial (Junior Varsity)

We were finally able to get a burn permit - but had a hard time getting it started with all of the snow. 

Finally it took ! 

It was almost dark when we got it started, and it was snowing quite heavily. 

Now, today is January 11th.  It snowed last night, and Roger is out plowing again today (he did yesterday also).  I'm going to eat lunch with Sherilee to celebrate my birthday in a little bit :)

 

Odds and Ends

Payson got a 3D printer for Christmas.  He and Landon have been learning and having so much fun with it.  They made this replica of the Salt Lake Temple for Grandpa Marlin. 

I was able to go up on a new ski lift located in Morgan County.  It was a beautiful day.  Amazing views. 

We had a very low key New Years - Cam and Josiah celebrated too.

Over New Years, there was a lot of sickness at the West Haven Rich Ranch.  Pretty much everyone was either throwing up or "the other".  I'm glad they are all feeling better now. 

Bex and Pays are still going to Chaos fitness, and doing so well.  Bright keeps busy with her dancing and tumbling.  Between Piano lessons, sewing lessons, pre-school, elementary school, baseball, etc.  They are very very busy !!

Sure has been a GREAT winter - Look at all of our snow !! LOVE IT.  Keep it coming, especially in the mountains. 

I put on my coat at work and tried to save some limbs on our tree. 

Happy Birthday gifts to me from Manda.  Oil sprayer, and mini electric whisk.  LOVE IT !! 

They always make ONE BIG ONE every year.  Glad Dad is such a good sport and helper. 

Remembering our angel in heaven.

 

New Year's Eve and New Year's Day

New Year's Eve was fun with a party at the Barn

Karaoke was a hoot !!

New Year's Day dawned bright and sunny, so we took to the snow.  Landon and Kacey and kids went to Trapper's Loop with friends from their neighborhood.  They had a great time.

We were invited to Zac and CJ's for a New Year's Celebration.
Grandma Shirlee was knitting away, and taught Thatcher a few tricks. 

Some played a few video games.........

And a mean game of NINES

Then we broke out a game - can't remember the name.....Blockbuster I think.
Everyone tried to act out MOVIES, and we tried to guess what they were. 

There was ALOT of laughs
