Finally Here

Here are the pictures from around Christmas that I promised.

Ashley and I building our snowman. The first to ever be built in the Dustin's yard. The completed snowman. As soon as we turned our backs, Katie the dog in the picture before took the arms to play fetch. Thankfully she didn't knock over the snowman.

The snowman lasted until about 2 weeks ago and we built him on the 24th of December. At one point he looked like he was mooning us after he had gotten snowed on. He was kind of fuzzy too.Making snow chairs.

Testing Cammy J's new bench and opening presents on Christmas Day.

Something blue and something new...

No, I'm not talking about a wedding, I'm talking about my car. As many of you know I rolled my Explorer on the 17th. It's the something blue...

God had His arms wrapped around my vehicle and I had to have had ten of His angels with me too. I will miss this car. It was a God car, just ask Katie and Mike, they went shopping with me for it. The tow truck driver drove it out of the ditch and said, "Okay, it's drivable, good luck on the rest of your trip." I drove it from outside of Browning to Whitefish.

Here is the something new...another God car. I went shopping this last Sunday with Johnny and Betty Dustin. We looked at several Explorers and the last lot we looked at had this one. It's the one I got yesterday.

Ready or not here I come!

After a long debate (with myself of course) I get to come to Great Falls for the weekend! I'm very excited to see old friends. I miss you guys and can't wait to see how big the kids are getting. See you when I get there!
