Skiing in April!

This is Rachael and Madalyn skiing in April 2009 on the bunny hill at Pomerelle in Idaho. The sun was out and it was warm. The girls took off their jackets. It was a fun day. The girls are becoming quite the skiiers. Next year it will be the big slope.

Slacking!

I haven't been keeping up on my blog too well lately. I have been having fun with facebook. Nothing exciting has been going on in this cold month of January. Rachael did have her 10th birthday. I need to post some pictures. Jordon is in his final 2 weeks of wrestling before he goes to state. The girls are very dilegently working on their 2 competetion pieces for piano. That's it for now. I promise I will find time to update this blog more often.

Christmas 2008!

This is Madalyn with her new Red Ryder BB gun. She is all tom-boy.


Of course Kade got a ninja turtle. He loved it.

Christmas 2008!

This is a picture of our family room where we have Christmas. Don't we look festive?

This is Rachael with her new i-pod docking station. She loved it. Now she doesn't have to fight Jordon for a spot to re-charge her i-pod.

Delora's Big 40!

A big thanks goes out to my sweet husband who planned a surprised 40th birthday party for me. Boy was I ever surprised. Thanks to my sister Tanya and Jean-Marie for helping Layne pull it off. I also thank all of my dear friends who took the time on a Saturday afternoon during this busy holiday season to make time to come to a party for me. I really appreciate the time and effort. Thanks Layne. I owe you!
Here are some pictures Layne took of the surprise party.


Here is my family as I open my presents on my birthday. Thanks everyone for the gifts! I had a great day. I got to go to a nice dinner and see a movie. It was a fun day. Many of my friends and everyone in my family called me to wish me a Happy Birthday. Thanks for all the calls. That really made my day!

Rachael's Hairdo!

This is Rachael with her hair updo. Her babysitter Whitney was doing her hair. Rachael loves having her hair done and doing other peoples hair. Her hair looks so good. Way to go Whitney with Rachael's hairdo.
