Check out the Blog List

Hey everybody, I added a blog list on the right-hand side of the blog, just under contributors. Right now the only blog on the list is Ash and Benj's Midget Family blog. Check it out because they post great stories and photos often. And there is big news just out--Chloe Jade has started walking. If any of the rest of you have blogs you would like me to add to this list, just send me a link. This way we have a "one-stop-shop" way to keep up on all the news.

Borrowed time

I heard on TV the other day that the life expectancy of males in the U.S. is now 75 years and two months. For females 78 years and two months. This, I believe is to allow females morw time to repent. You all know how old we are, so I figure we"re on "borrowed time". Means we can do anything we want and still be ahead of the "game". Problem is, I don"t want to do anything or the t hings I want to do. I can"t. This is good and free advice. Your mother/grandmother is feeling much better and we are going to Kansas Ckity tomorrow.

IT'S SPRING!!!!

Spring has finally arrived in Quincy. The day is a beautiful one with the sun shining and warm enough temperatures to allow for open windows. Sunday dinner is now cleaned up (we barbecued hamburgers for Jessie, Rocky and Nikki (Bryan had to work) and I have a little time before I go over to pick up Mom for a short shopping trip to Sears. She's hoping to find the tan coat she spotted a couple of weeks ago still hanging on the rack. Right now Dad says she's resting...
Biggest news in this house is I'M GETTING MY NEW KITCHEN!!!!!!!!!! Dale ordered cabinets and counter top yesterday. Ceiling tiles will be ordered today. Flooring is picked out. New ceiling fan and light are bought and ready. Still have paint color and backwash tiles to pick out, and window treatment to do, but I'm getting there. I told him to take his time---Monte took over a year, but he thinks he can break that record.....What will I ask for at Christmas this year???
I was wondering if we could have some more pictures and news from across the country. Grandma and Grandpa have a "new" computer and with Grandma feeling "under the weather" I figured they could use some news from all of you.....They love reading about what you all are up to and looking at the pictures. How about a nice "howdy do" and "look at us" ?
Wishing you a happy spring.

New Camera

It never posts the photos in the order I want... hehe Oh well. I just wanted to share a few of the new photos from my new Sony SLR Digital camera that I got this weekend. I am in love with this camera! LoL I have that and the newest version of Adobe Photoshop Elements... I need extensive lessons on using both I think. The top picture of the deer was taken at the veterans park, and I challenge all of you to come up with a witty caption for that one. The next is a close up shot of a couple of the fish in our saltwater tank in the kitchen, we then have a photograph where I must boldly state NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS PHOTO hehe. It takes wonderful action shots. The next is an example of the panoramic feature, and last but not least the beautiful Skye with her doe like eyes so full of expression.

=o)

I hope you enjoyed!

Is This the Same Cute Boy?

Sara and Skyler came over for a visit this weekend and since Aunt Chrissy was no where to be found we visited one of our local salons for a much needed hair cut!! He looks like a 'big boy' now!

Ladies and gentlemen, David Midget has left the building!

Congrats sweetie! You are my hero (and my role model). Come on June 1!

This Isn't Utah!!

Quincy Blizzard of 2011

We thought you might enjoy a few snapshots of what life has been like here in Quincy since Tuesday. Life is just getting back to normal with hopes of school resuming on Monday--we've been out since early Monday afternoon.
Quincy is just not adaptable for 2o inch snows with blizzard conditions!!

The poor Christmas deer will now evolve into Easter (?) deer let alone the poor snowman lights that have completely disappeared!! Snow is at waist level in front of door.

Bryan brought two of his friends, Matt and Travis, along to help Dale clear out our snow. They did a terrific job and then the calvary--otherwise known as the city sent in their troops--two snow plows, two front loaders, and about six or seven dump trucks to remove the snow from the front!!!

There's a swing somewhere in the yard---but it'll be a while until we see it again!!

Hope everyone stays warm. All our love from the "New North Pole!"
