GUESS WHO IS ONE!!!

Tagg is one year old. We had a great party at Zac and Cj's and he had alot of fun. He is such a happy little guy.

Grandma Richins was there to do her traditional "Roodle Doodle Doo" (which Taggs loves).

The cake was really good. Tagg got a cake all of his own and he loved it. Treyson ate alot of the decorations off of the big cake. CJ made the cake all from scratch (and some boxes) and was very proud of it.

He is lucky enough to have 7 Great Grandparents at this first birthday party. They are Lee and Veloy Dickson, Ben and Luanne Rich, Florence Mae Richins and Ellen and Jim Wilkerson. Thanks to everyone for coming and making this night great.

Dad was pretty brave to get this close, within grabbing range!

Grandpa Jim gave the traditional Noisy Popper toy that he always gives to the grandchildren. For some reason, the noisy toys always seem to disappear.

ANIMAL PUNISHMENT

Or should I say "OWNER PUNISHMENT" Tia was left in the kennel a little longer than she usually is and I guess this is her way of paying me back. She kept getting out of her bed and I followed her a couple of times and then I finally fell asleep. When Jim got up the next morning this is what he found.





She had gotten into all of my yarn and scattered it throughout the halls.














Good thing we really have grown fond of this little puppy.....




She even tried to eat one of the hooks as you can see in this picture.

SUPER BOWL PARTY

We had a great Super Bowl
Party. CJ and the boys came over and we cooked "Lupia", French Fries, and Lil Smokies. Treyson kept stealing Grandpa's lil smokies. He really liked them.

Look at that mischevious look.

"Hey did you steal my smokie"

Then Tagg had a major diaper fiasco because he is on a heavy duty dose of antibiotic. Looking at this picture, you would not realize that he is even sick. Anyway we decided that they both could benefit from the bath tub. Tia even decided that she needed to bath.

Then at half-time Treyson decided that we needed to have a game of Nerf Darts. Hence the lovely Nerf vest.

Finally Tagg went to sleep and we got to watch a little of the game. It was fun to have the kids over and we missed Zac. Oh, the game was pretty good too.

Scout night

A couple of weeks ago, (I can't remember when) we had a Pack Meeting. It was an "Arrow of Light Ceremony" We had 4 or 5 boys earning their arrow. It was an awesome night and the leaders put in a lot of work to get this done. The boys were excited.

Big Chief and little arrows?

Lunch with Mom

1. Saturday we had a nice lunch at Mothers house. Monica, Eden and Pauline came up and brought soup bowls. Mother made a cake and I had put some soup into the crock pot before I left for work that morning. We visited and ate lunch and had a a reall good time. Then we went over to Shirlee's house and played bowling on the WII. It was a very nice day.

Winter Fun 2009

We were able to go to the property with Zac and CJ again this year and take the kids behind the snowmobile. It was a good time. I hope that you can enjoy this photoshow.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE

Happy New Years Eve to everyone.

My sister Pauline had surgery earlier this week and so I took mom down to the hospital to see her today. Mackenzie had taken Rylee and Blakeley up to Snow Basin to go snowboarding and skiing. We were just going to visit Pauline for a little bit and then head up to the mountain to pick up the kids so that Mackenzie could go skiing a little on her own. By the time we got there Rylee had been up and down a couple of times and Blakeley was doing quite well and Mackenzie decided not to go on her own.

The kids really had a good time and Mom and I enjoyed the day also. She was glad to be able to get out of the house today. It was 16 years ago today that my father passed away. It was nice to be able to spend the day with mom and my sister, even tho she was in the hospital.
