Christmas Morning 2006

This is the kids running down the stairs around 8:30. Yes, they did sleep in a little. Thank goodness because we did not finish our wrapping until 2am. Hannah did sneak down stairs at 6am to make sure Santa did not forget her this year. Then she went back to bed and got up with Porter.

Eldora and Hannah Eldora

Grandma Eldora this picture is for you. I will have a copy made just for you so you can put it in your room.

Christmas Pictures 2006

Ok, if I could do my Christmas pictures like this PERFECT, but it doesn't look like its going to happen. I may try one more time. You should see the other pictures. So when you get that PERFECT picture in the mail, know that we tried really really hard to get everyone looking good.

Heres some more pictures for Grandma Ila and Grandma Eldora.

A Ride In Heaven

I just need to share this story and to keep it for the kids when they get older. My Grandpa Freddie died a year ago last October. (2005) He was 89 years old. His birthday was yesterday, December 5. Every year on his birthday (except last year because he was too sick) he rode his horse Nick (which by the way I named after myself--ask me why I don't know- I was young) He was so bow-legged he would take the horse on the side of a hill just to mount him in his latter years. So last week Nick had a stroke and was put down on Saturday. Very Sad. It was like a last piece of grandpa. Anyway, the we think the horse was heading up to heaven to be there for grandpas birthday so he could ride him. Grandpa I hope you enjoyed your ride. By the way Jimmy said I should blogg this. Can you believe it? This picture was taken a few days after grandpa passed away looking towards the Bison Range.
