A long way to go...

Here are some pictures of the car the boys are going to race this summer. It's a 1969 Ford Fairlane. Isn't that what it looks like to you? They are doing body work and cleaning everything out of it now. Basically they are starting from scratch. Jeri even helps out. She was sweeping the floor before I could get out there with my camera. She is more than ready for the day she gets to drag race. But according to JJ she never will....

First flickr .

If you click on a picture on the Flickr it will take you a larger picture. Look to the right and click on "view sideshow" . Just had to try it.

More than just trimming..

Well. It was a good thing I got home when I did yesterday or all I would have had left is a stump. The boys just loved cutting the poor thing down. I am not looking at it for a while.. Everyone in town is going to be upset. The ladies drive around just to see the tree bloom. Not this year. JJ got very good in his creations. A piece sign to match the one next to him. Jeri and Molly sat in the car and watched. Good thing we have an air conditioner or we will be very hot this summer.. It'll grow right?

It's a little sideways but you get it... (sorry Sue)

Here is the picture of Sue at the hospital after her fall. It was Monday morning as we all know. She is home now and in bed 99.9% of the time. Hope she gets better really soon. All the flowers in her room keep it cheery and they smell good. Mom goes over every morning to help her through the morning and cook something scrumptious for dinner. Sue thanks everyone for all the good wishes, phone calls and thoughts of her this past week..... We hope she heals really quick..

Sun Valley

Our trip to Sun Valley started on February 13th. Drove to Pendleton Oregon. The next day we made it to Sun Valley by 2:00. We picked up Daniel (His place is very clean by the way) and he directed us to our condominium. (may not have found it without him). The picture of Jeff and Dan is where we got the Kid's ski's. What a kick. We relaxed that night and were up and ready to go skiing the next morning. The day was beautiful.. In fact everyday was Sun sun sun.. In one of the pictures you can see Jeri on the ground she spent much of her first day on the snow. JJ is looking at Daniel and wondering when he can ski backwards too. D is amazing. They are skiing on Dallor mountain. The runs are fairly easy but perfect for the kids. We spent lots of time with Daniel the perfect host. (He's probably glad he had to work during the day.) Ketchum is the place to be. Shops, restaurants and lots of people..It did not snow there until we were about 1 hour out of Ketchum. Then on the first pass it was a bit slippery and snowed for quite a while. The rest of the drive wasn't bad then we hit the rain and Jeri said "lets go back" Sounds like a good idea...Are you up for us again Dan?

New Furniture

We are so happy to announce new furniture into our household. It is wonderful to have enough places for everyone to finally sit down together. We even have a new coffee table and end tables. We still have lamps to buy but first we have to go on our trip to Sun Valley.. We leave today. We are so excited the kids can hardly wait. Molly goes to the Ostroms and Dad will feed the cats. Thank you all..

Relay for life..

Here is a few pictures of Eatonville's Relay for Life kickoff. Our Relay is in July...
