Tyra's Piano Recital

Tyra has been taking piano

lessons from our cute neighbor,
Heidi Anderson. She is an amazing girl
but is leaving for college. At the piano
recital, Tyra played some cute
Christmas songs and even got to play
a duet with her teacher's brother
Jared, who just happens to be
Tyra's good friend. It was great!
We feel so blessed to have such
good neighbors!

Johnny's Baptism & Maggie's Birthday

Johnny got baptized! Can you believe it!
It seems like just the other day he was
teeny tiny little baby boy!
We were thrilled to get to be there
for that special occasion.

Maggie opened her Birthday Present
early. She was thrilled with a backpack made especially for her webkinz. It was just what she wanted! Now she can carry them on her back
while riding her bike!

Always Playing Catch Up!!!

Every month is busy but I don't know what happened to November! It was Hal's, Johnny's and Madelyn's Birthday. We went to Linda and Blake's for Thanksgiving dinner this year. They have a beautiful new house. Linda and Mom can wave to each other from their kitchen windows! It was our married kid's off year and we sure missed them! Putting our tree up this year was a battle but, it turned out beautiful.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!

Last weekend we met Kerry and Kent at the cabin. It was time to board it all up. I was prepared to complain about the cold wet snow but.....it was too pretty and the sooner we get it over with, the sooner we can enjoy it up there again. Doesn't it look like a Christmas Card?

Halloween

My New Four Wheeler!!!!!

This is the new four wheeler Hal bought me last week. It's so nice and so is he!!! Just think of the fun!

Happy Day!!! 3 Miles Without Pain!!!

Last week I convinced my Doctor that if he would just give me steroid shots, I would be as good as new. He was nice enough to go along with it after I committed to go to appointment with a Sports/Back Doctor he set up for me.

I found my optimism to be a little over zealous when I felt the same pain the next morning and have been a bit sad every since. HOWEVER........THIS MORNING, I RAN THREE MILES WITHOUT PAIN!!!! IT'S A HAPPY DAY....
What???
Okay, you can tell that isn't me because I don't live by the ocean...I was afraid I woudn't be able to fool you!

OH....NO.....Where will I get a Fresh Lime Milk Shake Now???

I am so, so, SAD!!! Following is the first few lines of the article in the Post Register.

Get your box of kleenex!

History Melting Away....
Ashton Soda Fountain set to dry up Nov. 28th
After 70 years as a Main Street icon, City Drug will soon be closed. The store's pharmacy will relocate to the Ashton Clinic, but its soda fountain -- a survivor from America's Norman Rockwell era -- will shut down Nov. 28 if no takers come to keep it alive.

Week-End at Jessica & Jordans

We had a great weekend at Jessica and Jordan's. Mindys Family came with us. It was good to be down there and spend time with them. They live way too far away. It was fun to see their new house.

Hal, John and Jordan golfed, we listened to conference, Hal bought me an awesome pair of running shoes, and we got to watch the Marathon!!!

When the men came home from General Priesthood Meeting Jordan found a huge Tarantula outside! Grandma Peterson would have been proud of him. After showing us all he took it out their back door and let it go.
