The cutest grandbabies ever

Aren't these the cutest little girls. Christine took their pictures and even though they were being little stinkers they are adorable. Thought you would like to see how cute our grand daughters are.

Christmas 2008

This is a sample of our Christmas in Ohio. From sitting on the stairs to hanging out to bowling. It was a fun Christmas.

We were so excited this year to be able to spend Thanksgiving in Utah with Davids family. It was the first time in twenty some years he was able to be home. We really enjoyed it. It was also so fun this year to take David home to my family for our annual Thanksgiving/Christmas party. We always joke that if you take a boyfriend or girlfriend home to this it will either make or break the relationship. David didn't get that choice. Luckily he loved it and had a great time with everyone. One of the highlights this year was Kyson and Tyson bringing grandpas tractor back home to him all shiny and new. It is a 1939 tractor that my grandpa has had ever since my dad was born. It was a wonderful treat for all of us. We took lots of pictures and here are a few to share.

Is there a Santa Claus?

I love this video. It is short but it is so nice to see this time of the year. I hope you all enjoy it. Merry Christmas

Power On

Just to let you all know. We didn't have to break out the dutch ovens. The power came back on late Monday night. We only had to play games one night by candle light. Luckily Monday morning there was hot water in the water heater so we had nice warm showers, but you should have seen my make up. I quess I need light.

No Power

Well hello everyone. Last night we recieved a little gift from Hurrricane Ike. We had huge winds and our power went out somewhere around 7pm. We played games around a candle and then it came back on momentarily. Unfortunately it went back out and we still do not have any. I called the phone # to find out about the outage and they have a recording saying it should all be back on by Friday. So, since today is Monday, it could be a very long week.
The roof blew off of the school Micah went to last year.
Here is a clip from the news. "In Hudson, winds blew off a roof on Evamere Elementary School. District Superintendent Steven Farnsworth said the roof blew right over the top of the gymnasium and came down in front of the building. No one was injured and officials report no damage to the inside of the building."

Some summer 2008

I thought I would start to add some summer pictures to the blog. I will add more later. Tylynn and Tayler by Great Grandpa Nelson's garage.
