Ro: Day 294

I came home from Prescott Valley feeling yuck yuck yuck. It lasted the next couple of days, so this was my view for that time. But Aaron was so awesome. He really picked up the slack I left. I appreciate him a lot.

Ro: Day 293

We visited Chris and his family on Saturday. You could tell that the excitement of Christmas was in the kids because they were sooo hyper! I remember those days. I wonder how my mom dealt with that amount of excitement bursting from 5 kids.

Ro: Day 292

We woke up Friday morning to find the dead tree had fallen down. It was nice that it didn't fall onto anything, but I couldn't back out to run the errands I needed to. So Aaron came home from work at noon to clear the tree so we could go to Prescott Valley that evening.

This kid sure likes doing his hair. I wish I liked doing my hair so much.

This is the Winter Stostice, the shortest day of the year.

There must be something positive about the shortest day of the year....... I don't live in Alaska where there would be only darkenss today.

I had some fun on the trip home today. These pictures were taken along Hy 69. Walt was so patient while I snapped away.

Where are all the houses that go with the mailboxes?

Fun Pictures from Iowa. Check out the black cat. His front legs are short, he hasn't got paws.

Then one of the cousins has a shoe fettish, and obviously has some coooool shoes. Most of them are away at college with her, but this pair was left behind.

We ate lunch in downtown Harlan, can't remember the name of the place, but they served slop and it was the best slop I have ever had. They raise alot of hogs in the area, by the way.

Diane Day 282 -285 Dec 8-11

Part of the reason I initially got so far behind, was my trip to Iowa to see my Aunt. She is dying with cancer. Visiting with her and the family was just as good for me as it may have been for them. Ed and Gloria, Mom's brother. There is a quite a story to go with the hat.

Shelley and I with Ed.

This is me. I am caught trying to figure out the staging of some of the nativity scenes.

Ro: Day 290

Aaron is a hater of eggnog, but I just had to treat myself when I was grocery shopping today. Ahhhhh, tonight I sip my festive beverage as I type and I feel so Christmasy.

Ro: Day 289

Susan has taken on the task of making the wedding dress for Sam's bride-to-be. Their wedding is at the end of January. Today she finished tweaking and cutting out the pattern she designed. Yeah, it is from scratch. I do not envy her task, but I do wish I had her mad skills.

Ro: Day 288

Following my spoken instructions Connor got himself dressed today. By some miracle he even got his shirt on frontwards.

Ro: Day 287

Aaron can't sleep unless is head is covered by something, and apparently it is an inherited trait.

Decorating the perfect tree! Unfortunately our star for the top has dissapeared. Guess it's time for a new one!

K-Day 282, Dec. 10

Looking through pics for today, I found some cute shots that Danielle took with Katie while they were getting ready for the dance last night. Aren't they cute?

Ro: Day 286

I'm sorry it is blurry but it is hard to get a clear shot when the subject is trying to flee.
