A cold December night out Christmas Caroling.



Keihlin just dumped the remaining reindeer food all over the floor.

Tess and one of her Christmas gifts. The kids had to wrap them at least twice before I had them put them into boxes. Tess could smell her gifts and several times was scolded for digging under the tree and destroying wrapped gifts. She discovered all of hers and had to have them taken away several times. She is now just happy to be able to chew on one of them without being reprimanded.

The only damage done after skidding out of control for about 1/8th of a mile on ice. We ended up against the guard rail and fortunately were able to continue home. We are just so thankful that this turned out as well as it did.

This is a photo of the car that hit us. I took the picture using my rear view mirror.

The ambulance and fire-trucks met us at an exit ramp near Gypsum, CO. after we were hit from behind on I-70. The roads were horrible at this point. They wanted to make sure we were all ok, Paityn hit her head pretty good on the window. She was fine and we were able to continue on home after about a 2 hour delay. This was a very long trip home from Kansas.
Had a blow out at 7:30 a.m. only 30 minutes into our 10 hour trip.Trying on firefighter gear.
Paityn has a pheasant egg that her Uncle Scott found in a field while hunting birds in KS. Very Cool.
Keihlin getting a good look at a rooster pheasant. I think he wanted it as a pet.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2010

I made these gross fingers for Keihlin's Harvest Party. Keihlin helped make these boney cupcakes as well for his party.

Our Truck 'BLOW OUT' returning home from Moab. It could have turned out so much worse. Ken was driving and towing our Jeep when it blew. We were going East on I-70 only 10 miles from the Colorado Border and 34 miles from Fruita Colorado. AAA sent a flat bed tow truck out of Moab rather than Fruita since we were still in Utah. We waited 2 -2 1/2 hours for the tow truck. Like I said, we are fortunate to have come away from this incident without personal injury. It is just another reminder for us of the many things we are thankful for.

Moab Utah Adventures 2010Keihlin is standing at an obstacle on Hell's Revenge in Moab, Utah, called the "Bath Tub" I had him stand next to it to give you some idea of the size of this hole.
Keihlin is helping Ken cook some juicy chicken on Ken's new grill.
Hell's Revenge, just trying to give you some idea of the steepness of this tail as we wind around on the slick rock.
Great shot of Ken's jeep coming up Cliffhanger, Troy is standing at the edge of the cliff.
Okay, so these photo's are slightly out of order. Oh, well. This was just as the base jumper launched himself off of a 660-800 ft. cliff.

Riding Quads on Cliffhanger in Moab. What a lot of work this trail was. Ken is helping me down this obstacle.

Keihlin our sharp shooter.Keihlin with his left over bottle he shot with his 22 off hand.
Keihlin's target.
If you look off in the far left distance you are able to see the ply wood with the breaking bottle just cut in half as Keihlin shot the bottle. The next picture I tried to blow up so you could actually see the bottle being broken at the neck.
Pretty cool huh!! This photo was just as the 22 hit the bottle neck and just before it came crashing to the ground. I have to admit that was a pretty amazing shot made by Keihlin, and let me tell you, he is really pretty excited. Just ask him!
