Ashlynn Basketball

This year AShlynn wanted to play Basketball, it was her first time ever playing. I think she enjoyed it. She had a great coach and a great team. She is wearing the pink pants, and her number is 7.

I am going to be posting many pictures the next week or two trying to catch up... I guess it is like my journal in more ways than I realized. I do this with my journal too. (I go months without writing any, and then I play catch up. BUT these pics are from last night. I was so glad I caught her making this face when I had my camera.

Boys ice fishing

Everytime I think of ice fishing I think of the movie Grumpy old men or grumpier old men starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Mattau. (Rick wanted to go Ice fishing with my Dad. It was something he had never done. ) He thought maybe Jason would enjoy going too, so My Dad, Josh, Rick and Jason all went Ice fishing... I know Rick enjoyed it, but Jason probably wont be dong that again. :)

Valentines Dinner and Concert

We really enjoyed watching Jason's concert. They did a really cute job with it. The seating was all assigned and when they sat you each had little place settings, then you had a waiter come and ask if you want "white or red" it took me a second to realize the waiter was asking if I want white grape sparking cider or cranberry. :) It was really cute.


This is Jason and some of his buddies singing.
This is Jason and Sadie singing, this was the closing song. This is Jason's "girlfreind" she seemed like a very sweet girl and we enjoyed getting to sit by her parents and get to know them.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture.

Sweet dreams

First Grandpa enjoyed putting Lindsay to sleep ....

And then Lindsay repaid the favor by putting Grandpa to sleep.....

Grandpa's girl

One tired cowgirl

Lindsay loves her bouncer horse that some friends in the ward gave us. One day I turned around and looked at her and this is what I saw......

Be kind to your fellow men

So the other day (a few days after Christmas) we were at Target looking for a place to park. Well we finally found a really good spot. Rick was driving and so he pulled into the spot and then a lady (who was around the corner of the isle so not even in our Isle of traffic....) pulled around and flipped us off... Now I don't know what we did but I am assuming that she must have wanted that parking spot. Well than she went and parked (like 5 cars away) and came walking towards our car as we were getting out. I was unbuckling Lindsay and Rick was unbuckling Ashlynn. And she came up and was just glaring at us, and kinda stood behind the car for a brief second. I thought she was going to say something, but she finally kept walking in to the store. But it really bothered me for some reason. I was so offended that this woman who could very possibly be a Grandma herself was so rude. I know I am a little naive when it comes to the cruelty that some people can posses. Or maybe I was still just feeling a little bit of the Christmas spirit, OR maybe I was just upset that she acted that way with my children around... I don't know but I was upset about it.
Then this last week I was driving to Portland to the Heiners and I was on the Freeway and I switched lanes to the far right lane, well once I got over I realized there was a police car with its lights on in that lane, so I switched back. When the "sweet girl" behind me came around me and flipped me off... Then when she got in front of me and realized why I had switched over she then had to jump back over to my lane....
I don't know why people do it, I don't know if it really makes them feel THAT much better. But from where I stand it makes the person doing the flipping off look pretty ignorant and silly... I cant help but wonder where they learned to treat other people like that?
If any of you reading this right now flips people off when they get angry??? Maybe you should rethink it....

New Years Party

I know I am pretty late with updating this.

Christmas (a little late...)

Grandma are you there???
