Jered and Lyssa...

So as I continue to catch up on my Blog photos I MUST include a VERY important event: Jered and Lyssa got married!!  It happened back in August when my life was still crazy so I missed the wedding.  Zach was in the wedding party and Gloria was able to go since she was on a coastal vacation with Marreen who was happy to deliver her.  I really regret not making the trip but am very thankful they had a reception in Meridian.  Once again I'm borrowing the first set of pictures from FB and do not take credit for any of them.  Lyssa's photographer did a GREAT job! 

The next set of pictures are from Gloria who I insisted on text photos since I couldn't actually be there:

And this last set of photos are from the reception in Meridian that I was actually able to attend.  I'm so happy for these two!!

The boys are all grown up. . . and very handsome!

 

 And I love, love, love this picture:

Congrats McConaugheys and Redfords!!

Anniversary #52!

Today we celebrated my parent's 52nd anniversary! We met at Chapalas in Nampa- Shelly, Dave, Ethan, Rob, Gloria, mom, dad and me. We are missing the two college boys at every get together and can't wait to see them at Thanksgiving!!

It was a lovely afternoon!

After lunch Gloria helped Marr decorate for Christmas. Max hates the snow but loves Gloria so they had fun playing outside...

And now me and Gloria are hanging out on the couch watching home improvement shows on Netflix and admiring our cute creatures. 

Much to be thankful for....

Moving Right Along. . .

Now that I'm officially retired from working on events, I got to sit in the cabin for two days while Rob and Sergio set up a big event in Garden Valley.  I don't think Rob really believed that I wouldn't help out but Sergio knows what he's doing and I didn't even feel guilty.  Not even a little bit.  I napped, I snacked, I snuggled Lulu and flipped through all of the 800 channels that Direct TV offers.
I also admired the wildlife. . .

I did end up going to the event and even helped take it down but only because Sergio had to drive back to Boise afterwards. . .

All things considered, it was relatively painless....

Early Snow...

We were warned the snow was coming.  October was pretty warm for October so I didn't believe it.  But they were right.  It started snowing on Thursday and just kept snowing and snowing and snowing.  We knew by Thursday evening that it would have to be a snow day on Friday so we picked up Aspen for a sleepover.  





The Spokesman Review:
November 14, 2014   At 3 p.m., the National Weather Service reports that Boise’s snowfall total for the storm reached 7.6 inches – a new November record. That surpassed the previous record snowfall for Boise in November of 7.4 inches in 1935.

 

We had a LOT of snow.  I wasn't the least bit surprised that it was a record snowfall.  The crazy girls decided to put on swim suits and toss up the snow. 

Just a couple of weeks ago they were tossing up leaves!!

Gloria and Jesse took advantage of the snow later that weekend although I still haven't seen a snowman. . .

Apparently, it's way more fun to pose in the snow than to actually play in it. . .

And this is a picture I borrowed from my sister's FB page just for fun.  Spencer is at BSU this year and these are his buddies.  He's the one in the flap eared hat up front.  I'm guessing they actually played in the snow but it's quite possible they posed and ran right back inside. . .
