Christmas 2009

This is the first Christmas in our new house. We were all excited to be in a house and not the travel trailer! We all reminisced about Christmas last year in our 30' travel trailer.
Brody, Carson and Braydn with their "loot".

Ashlee with all of her goods.


This is Kadin with his new piece of equipment.




Ashlee's Impromptu Birthday Party

This is Ashlee going through "The Spanking Machine" at her birthday party. She invited her friend and little sister over at the last minute.
Kelton is playing Heavy Heavy Hangover. It's a game that the kids like to play at birthday parties.

Here is Kelton again. The object of the game is to hit the person over the head with the gift. The birthday person is supposed to wish the gift giver something in return. (It never happens at our house).


This is Leena. She is the little sister of one of Ashlee's friends. Ashlee invited them over to open presents and have cake and ice cream. (Mom didn't know until after the fact!) They had fun and ate cupcakes and played a few games.



Elementary Christmas Program

This was the Elementary Christmas Program. This was Ashlee's class. She is on the front row in her red dress.
This is all of the first grades(that I could fit in my camera). Kadin is on the second to back row almost in the middle of the picture. He is looking to the left. It's always fun to see the little kids get up there and do the field glasses with their hands to block the bright lights while they look for their parents. It's always fun to go and watch because you never know who's kid is going to be doing what!
Kelton's class performed also, but I don't know what happened to the pictures. He always blames me about forgetting about him!

Concert Choir

Ashlee was chosen this year to be part of the High School Concert Choir. They performed 2 songs with the High School Concert Choir.
This is Ashlee in her new red dress for the concert choir performance.


Ashlee is in the front row, second from the left.

Ashlee waiting for the performance to start. She was way excited and nervous.




Band Concerts

This is the Winter Band Concert. Brody plays the Tenor Sax. He always sits in the middle, so we never get good pictures of him.
Another of Picture of the top of Brody's head at the concert. Brody plays in both the Concert Band and the Jazz Band.

Braydn is the one in the middle. He is waiting his turn for the 8th graders to perform at the Band Concert. Braydn played the flute up until this year when he switched over to the Tenor Sax.


Braydn still waiting. He sits in the back also so we only get good pictures when they are waiting to go on stage.




Middle Piney

This is Lacy. She had so much fun playing on the lake that was frozen and snow covered that she wore herself out. She got packed in and packed out of Middle Piney Lake.
This is Meagan. You can see how much fun she had!


Brooke and Kadin. Obviously it was a quiet ride home! Cameron and Wyatt are in the back, but they still have energy!

Brian let Marissa drive on the way home. She had just gotten her permit before they came to Wyoming for the Thanksgiving weekend.

Thanksgiving 2009

Brian took the cousins up and hiked into Middle Piney over Thanksgiving. They got a surprise of snow, but nothing they couldn't walk thru. They had fun shooting the guns once they got up to the lake. It's about a 2 mile hike.
This was another pose of everybody. They all had fun, but some of the littler ones had to be packed in and out.

This is the parking area at Middle Piney.



This is one of the hills at Middle Piney. When there is more snow, it makes a fun hill to climb on the snow machines.
