Garage Sale

Up for grabs...stuff. I've almost got the old house emptied. It's been a walk down memory lane as I spent hours hunched over dragging stuff out from under the house. I found the most unusual concotions of ... not sure what. And all those toys seemed almost happy to see me ala Toy Story 3. Don't worry I didn't get rid of it, it's at the new house waiting for you to peruse. Here are a few kitchen type things to see if you'd like me to hold them for you or just give 'em away. First come, first serve!

 Potato masher, measuring cup, mixer

 Angel Food cake pan (or bundt)

 Jello molds (Christmas, Halloween, football, easter eggs, turtles.  Or play dough molds...

 See Summer running her last 1/2 mile with her very cool chart for the 500 miles she will complete in 2010.

 See Summer's victorious smile as she accomplishes her ambitious goal!!!!!

YEAH!!!! FOR SUMMER!!!!!!!

Let it SNOW

This past Saturday Summer was signed up to go on the scout ski trip, $15 lift tickets, what a DEAL!  At the last minute the Lyons didni't want to go so we used their tickets and took Puff with us and what a GREAT DAY!

The weather was supposed to be awful, 26 degrees for the high and snow all day.  It didn't disappoint, it really was that cold and really did snow all day but we were warm and it was a GREAT DAY!

 Summer and Dad took off and had fun while Steph learned to ski with me.  She picked it up so quick she only fell 3 times in her first run!  Now I can claim having broke Steph of her binky and teaching her how to ski.  What a GREAT DAY!

 Summer was a pro skier AND dang she looked good in her ski outfit.

That's Steph and Sum on the lift.  I'm pretty sure we should plan on a family rendevous at Copper Mountain on Dec 17th ish for scout day next year.  It'll be a GREAT DAY!

More Pics

When Jamie and Ally and Daniel were here we visited Grandma Lenhart.  Everyone had such a fun time.

 Jamie says she gets a lot of people asking if Dans and Als are twins.  In this picture I can almost see why.  That is one BIG boy.

 Oh, those blue eyes. 

 Since we were at a senior living place, Daniel thought he'd use his old man face.

 Sum and Als playing peek-a-boo over the bed.  Pure joy!

 You know you're a BIG boy if...it takes two people to carry you to the car and

 Your thighs are bigger than your sister's, aunt's, mom's...

But, if you're this cute and your toe tastes this good, WHO CARES!!!!

It's Christmas time!

More pics later...

A Thankful Thanksgiving

Ahhhh...Thanksgiving in Virginia.  It was AWESOME!  There were still a few beautiful red leaves on the trees, the weather wasn't bad, the food was terrific and we GOT TO SEE JIMMY and CHARINA!

 We had many adventures that included...

 Visiting these amazing two houses right around the corner from where Jimmy's folks live.

 They rival Temple square in lumen.

 Going bowling, which is always fun.

 And Dad did remain vertical...well most of the time.

 And Summer kicked our trash.

 Harry Potter left us out of breath but not as much as laser tag!

 or ice skating.

 And the final excitement was playing in a coed volleyball tourney.

 Where the Gayton ward WON the whole enchilada, even though two of their players (Sum and Kris) had to leave the final match to catch a plane.

It was a thankful Thanksgiving.  We are thankful for ALL our family and wished all of you could have been there!  We were thinking about you!!!!  And THANK YOU Willis' for your GREAT hospitality!
