Spring in Island Park

So.... I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to add a short video to my blog. I have worked on this off and on for three weeks. I am giving up, for now. I really just wanted to share the beauty of the melting ice and snow in Island Park. Marty and I and Mom and Dad spent the weekend at the cabin. It was so beautiful and warm, just a nice quick getaway.

If you just click on this link you can see my 1 1/2 minute video. Of course, it's the video with the icicles on the picture....

Mariah's Cheer Competition

Highland Rams won 1st place in all three categories at the state competition! It was pretty emotional for Mariah because she has decided not to try out for her senior year, so this was her very last time cheering. She looked amazing and we are so proud of her!!

Snow day!

Finally, our first snow day of the school year! Mariah was so excited to have an unexpected day off. Marty was the one that really had work to do....

And....Christmas with Grandpa

Then....Christmas at the other Grandpa and Grandma's

Christmas at Grandma's

Just a few pics leading up to Christmas.

Fall Colors

Marty and I took a drive to see the fall colors. Isn't this just beautiful?!

Bren's new car

Brennan finally got a car he loves! A 1994 Toyota Celica GT. I must say it's pretty sweet!!

Snow!

I can't believe we woke up to snow this morning! It's only 34 degrees right now. It hasn't stopped for over 4 hours.

My latest pretty flower

Me and my sister

I really like this pic of Wendy and me having a good time (as usual!).

Flowers

Here are my most recent flower pics. I got a new Nikon D40 that I am having a blast with!

Kelsey's last day

This was Kelsey's last day home for the summer. She is already back at school for her senior year of undergraduate study. Brennan starts his freshman year tomorrow morning. Mariah is a junior in high school. It was so great having them all home for the summer!

Island Park

Our only summer getaway this year was a quick weekend trip to Island Park. We had a blast!

Of course it would never be the same without mom and dad!

Our Graduate

Brennan graduated from High School yesterday! Where has the time gone?

We are so proud of the man he has become and look forward to the years ahead!

Mother's Day

This was such a fun Mother's day! We spent most of the day at my mom and dad's. I loved hanging out with our three kids, and of course Wendy and me with our own mom!

Prom

Here are Brennnan and Mariah and their dates for the Junior Senior Prom.
