Happy New Year

Robert and Ricky are in Utah visiting a good friend who moved. So I find myself watching movies and playing computer with the other children instead of partying up the New Year. Since we aren't really partying this year, I thought I would reminisce on a New Year Eve of the past. The kids and I laughed and had fun remembering New Year 2006. The kids made four yard sacks full of newspaper confetti. We moved all the furniture out of the room to make clean up easier.

Robert has since outlawed confetti. Anyway, I wish everyone a Happy New Year 2010!

Ice Cream

Well, it has been one year since I decided to start blogging and I guess I didn't really get very far in that time. Maybe this year will be better.

We went to Portland, OR to spend Thanksgiving with Robert's sister, Patty. We had a great time. They took us to go see an amazing waterfall. The boys hiked all the way to the top of the trail. The girls, well, we made it about a mile before Taylor needed a bathroom and Alex got a headache due to allergies. After hiking, Patty and Sam said we HAD to get ice cream. Of course it was freezing outside, but as the saying goes - when in Rome, do as the Romans. What you don't see in the picture is my legs shaking or my teeth chattering.
