Merry Christmas y'all! Here we are a
couple weeks ago. I finally broke down,
and we got a tree. Then I finally broke down
and put it up. I figured we needed to take a
picture to prove that it happened. It wasn't
just a rumor. =) It will be a quiet Christmas
here on the homestead. The two big kids are
gone to see their dad this year. Maybe that
just means more room under the tree for
two little kids? ha ha ha!

Well, no matter what happens - from our

family to all of you, enjoy your holiday! We love you and wish the best for your families!

There is something seriously wrong with Wyoming weather.

Driving home from Utah yesterday, we went over South Pass and were all in awe at how cold it was. However, when we arrived home last night, it was 20 below zero, and our little house was more like an igloo. Finally at 11:00 this morning, it's comfortable, (that's close to warm!) but outside it's still -12 !!!
This is CRAZY!!???!

So you'll never guess how my day went......

All you have to do is ask Brinlee. She'll tell you all about "pig nuts". Wow the ranch is educational!

I had the Sister Missionaries over for dinner last night, and since we are on a ranch..... and since I happen to have some boots, and a hat available.............

Actually, you might recognize the background. This was just some photo shop practice. It was pitch black when we were outside. They both actually wanted a picture with the horses; but it was too dark to try to go down in the fields to get the horses, and it was a flippin 9 degrees! It's gettin a little frosty here in Wyoming!
So, I put a really nice, warm background in. Those wonderful sunrises come in handy, don't they?!

.... dinner was good too. :)

Thought I'd share my morning with you!

This is what I woke up to this morning........

Actually, it looks like this most mornings, today I just decided to brave the 20 degrees and run out to shoot proof of it. It is one of the perks of living in Wyoming I guess. What a great way to begin the day.
