January, 2009

On January 17, Dad and I went to Soda Springs to see Scott, Molly, and Family and to celebrate Kaden's birthday. We went ice fishing, and the little boys and I got cold right away, but they liked watching Grandpa cut a hole in the ice. Sadie and Grandpa were the only ones that caught a fish! That's Grandpa's girl!

This is Dad and I in front of the duplex Dad lived in when they were in Grace when he was a little boy. This is a house in Grace where they lived in the basement for a while.

This store in Grace was where Grandma D. liked to shop.

This is just a picture of our house the end of January with lots of snow on a pretty, cold day.

This is Sadie, Zach, Gabe, and Kaden at the annual Christmas tree burning, hot dog cooking picnic in Grace. It was fun. The hot chocolate was good.

Molly really liked the cookbook that Stacy put together with family recipes.

Kaden and Daisy really have fun together. This is Sadie showing us some cheerleading moves.

We had a fun day with them. The next weekend, we went to Billings where Dad had meetings on Monday where he had to teach some training to employees and farmers. We got there Saturday afternoon, and went to Church with Sally and the girls on Sunday. Neal flew home from meetings in Seattle, so we saw him after Church. On Monday while Dad was in meetings and Neal was at work, I helped Sally finish her curtains. We got home about 11 :30 p.m. that night. It was about -16 degrees. It was also a good trip. Love, Dad and Mom
