January wild weather? So far ... No.

Today is Friday. We are all at home - no place to go. Just hangin' out and listening to all the irritating political news. Alan could listen to it all day every day. I can't, it makes me crazy. Zack is writing a paper for English? Kristine got home yesterday and missed driving in the storms. Good for her. I went to I.F. today for the ceremonial taking back of unwanted Christmas gifts. I dropped Alan off in Rexburg at Pioneer equipment so he could bring home the tractor, drill combo, thingamajig, etc. He said it was good traffic and clear roads, so it must have been meant to happen. An interesting comment, I thought. Came home and read Morgan's blog and fixed dinner. That's about it for excitement around here. Hopefully this storm that's coming will pile up some inches outside.
The pictures are all in Ashton or thereabouts. We did not take them, but the pastor of the Baptist church here in Ashton did. He is really a good amateur photographer. His name is Christopher Leavell. I thought you would enjoy the beautiful pictures. I especially enjoy the one of highway 47 from the Hugginsville corner.

October 2007 - Flying Geese




March 2007 - Melting of the Snow




Another beautiful shot. I love those Winter sunsets in Ashton.
I took one camera lens back to Inkleys and ordered another one. The new one is supposed to cut down on vibration. And then, voila!... beautiful pictures of the most beautiful area in Idaho!

Beautiful pictures. It's good that you are all chummy with the pastor so we can enjoy his shots as well.

Shelley, John and I are seriously considering coming up to Idaho for the last week of January. It is the only week he gets for vacation. I will need to be in St. George by that Friday, but we really look forward to seeing you soon. We haven't come up to visit for quite awhile, and even longer for John. We're just not going to mention it to Gabe for awhile. He would be impossible to live with if we told him too soon. Take care.

Those are beautiful pictures and i'm thinking to myself where and why did you get these from the Pastor? Probably online but still funny. Well I have a cold and I planned on sleeping in but this head cold is driving me crazy. Last night, Leah was acting really fussy and we couldn't get her to calm down and then out of nowhere, Leah threw up more than I have ever seen, it was like a volcanic eruption. Everything was wet including Andrew and our covers on the bed. Afterwards, though, she was so tired from the traumatic experience that she went right to sleep and didn't wake up until 6:30 this morning. I don't know what it was or how to prevent it from happening again but I guess that's just how it goes sometimes.
