We were able to all get together for some birthdays and took this group shot. Out of the 10 or so pics I took, this one was the best. A few others to share.

Time for cake and ice cream. What a good looking table of kids.

Grand Canyon Trip

We got to ride the train to the Grand Canyon with Clif's parents and Uncle Paul. What a fun time that was! The day started with Clif being in the gun show.

Yes, he is caring his mom's purse. It was all part of the show. The cowboy on the left is Buck. On the train at 10am and a little later the entertainment started. Kaleb got to play on the fiddle!! We were all so proud of him. He stood in the aisle while the guy helped him play. Then Uncle Paul got a turn.

At the canyon, we had lunch and then took family pics. Of course there were snowball fights too.

Back on the train to leave at 3:30 to head back. Of course, more entertainment and while the kids were both sleeping, one with grandma and the other with dad......it happened! A train robbery.......everyone says, "AGHHH". Ok, kids are awake now!

It was all so fun. What a great day and the weather was perfect. The next day it was snowy and windy. So our day was just right!!

Finally, I have a few moments to update. Let's see.....Clif had 2 hernias repaired on Dec 18th which gave him 6 weeks on disability. Yes, it was a bit planned that way. I (nekol) was in a drama at chruch for Christmas eve. It was a great chance for me to be my normal drama self.

We headed to his parents for Christmas with all the family there. What a nice time that was. The kids all played together and food was great!

We then went to my parents for New Years and spent some time with Great Granny.

When we came back home, it snowed on us pretty good. This is a pic of the kids and I sleding in our front yard. I think I had more fun then they did. Hey, we don't get snow like this in Texas.
