Well I don't have pictures at the moment but Santa made it to Tempe AZ. this year and boy I am happpy about that----------- since home is such a mess Joe and I decided that going to Arizona for christmas was each others present-- and yes I have had a smile on my face since we have gotten here .........sun sun and a whole lot warmer then what we left a week ago. Well the concrete plant even shut down due to the -7 or so degrees . I know we will have to go home sometime but i will pout all the way home.

Hope everyone had a great christmas and we are looking forward to 2009.

Emigh and Karsyn got to go ice skating for one of Emighs friends birthday party- It was Karsyn first time on the ice and after a few trips around with mom and dad she got the hang of it by her self. Of course Emigh did well and wants to go all the time now. But for the most part it was a fun day for the girls.

Yummy Treats

Chanel I just love to get things in the mail and then when its choc. stuff how delightful. I thought it was more of Joes stuff off of e-bay and then when he opened it and said I didnt buy this I was all excited to see what it was. Thank you Chanel

Cougar Football Game

So we went up to Pullman and watched the Cougars play such a wonderful game agianst USC. Well at least the girls had a lot of fun getting pictures with the cheerleaders and Butch the COUGAR. We will not mention the score at least they didnt reach triple digets.

The Last of Summer

The McClures and Us went to Silverwood Theme park to end the summer fun. Jennifer and Joe went on the Panic Plunge.... Madi and Karsyn were the red flyers and had a ball.

Now you know when the guys a whipped when they are willing to carry the "pink" bag and the Hannah Montana backpack. They must really love us :) or there is goodies in them.

Moms 60th birthday

We had a lot of fun in Vegas - we ate and ate and then found another great place to eat-

Cheescake Factory and then Freeds Bakery and then Claim Jumpers .

We got tickets to KA and The Price is Right- and of course shopping was a highlight also

Little Halle was quit the trooper learning the ropes on shopping. But she was the only smart one that took a nap.

First Day of School

Emigh First day of 4th Grade she could hardly wait for the day- of course it was the Hanna Montana pants that made her day......

Then Karsyn was so excited she wanted to go the same day Emigh did. Hers started a week later but she loves pre-school.


I think her backpack was bigger then her but she wanted to be just like sister.

Lake Chelan

Emigh and Karsyn having fun at Lake Chelan State park- the house we are doing is behind Emigh's head- it has a great view of the lake. Everyday that we are there the kids and us come down for lunch and they swim in the clear water and pretend surf. The water is so cold for my liking-

9th Party

Emigh had a great 9th birthday with all her cousins and friends at the Moses lake water park-

The night before was the sleepover and they need to change that name to up till 2:30 am party and then we went to the park and then some stayed one more night- they were different girl the second night all tired and sunburnt- but they had a lot of fun together.

Karsyn and Madison were right in the thick of it too- They like to be like the big girls.

They are suntanning at the moment.

Karsyn loves her new floaty and thinks it is only hers but whatever intertains her is fine with me and she has a permanent smile all day to boot !!

4th of July

We spent a week here at williams lake just outside of Spokane- the lake was really nice and the kids had fun in the water- the rv park was a bit small for us but with Joes great ability to drive we were just fine. Emigh was wanting to drive herself instead of having mom with her.

Karsyn loves to just play in the dirt or sand--

Mt. Hood

Memorial Day Weekend we went to Mt. hood to camp for a 5 days. It rain 3 of the 5 days but it was really pretty and green. We were suppose to go to Spokane but the flooding was a bit much up there. The kids had fun in pool and playing the the mud puddles.
