DAD AND LISSA

LISSA AND DAD AT THE NUTCRACKER. WE ARE RELUCTANT TO SAY THAT THE PICS OF LISSA WITH US AT CHRISTMAS ARE GOING TO BE LESS AND LESS IN THE FUTURE. LIFE IS MOVING ON




















NOW GRACIE JUST LOVES TO POISE FOR
PICTURES AND ESPECIALLY IN THE MANY
CHRISTMAS HATS GRANDMA HAS.




















FLOYD AND GRANT WERE
ENGROSSED WITH DORA AND HER ADVENTURES THAT FLOYDEE NEVER KNEW HE WAS WATCHING IT THROUGH HIS DIRTY CONSTRUCTION GOGGLES.

THE CHRISTMAS SEASON 2009

YES, WE STARTED ANOTHER CHRISTMAS SEASON WITH OUR ANNUAL BEYER CHRISTMAS PARTY. WE HAD OVER 35 PEOPLE THERE SHARING LAUGHTER, GOOD TIMES AND PLENTY OF WHITE ELEPHANT GIFTS TO BRING BACK NEXT YEAR. IT WAS A GREAT TIME HAD BY ALL, AND FRANKLY WHEN WE ARE FINISHED WITH THE PARTY, I CAN FINALLY ENJOY THE REST OF THE SEASON. I ALWAYS SEEM TO LOOSE MY VOICE EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE PARTY AND OVER THE YEARS OUR CHILDREN HAVE APPRECIATED THE FACT THAT I CAN'T TELL THEM TO DO ANYTHING ANYMORE BECAUSE I HAVE NO VOICE. THEY LOVE IT!
THIS IS GRANT POISING IN MATT'S LETTERMAN SWEATER FROM EAST HIGH. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS SO LONG AGO.







PAUL AND I AT OUR ANNUAL
NUTCRACKER BALLET PERFORMANCE.


















CHARLIE IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BOY AND WE DON'T GET TO SEE HIM ENOUGH.















MARGOT SAT STILL FOR A FEW SECONDS SO THAT GRAMMY B COULD TAKE HER PICTURE AND GIVE HER SOME FUN CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
SHE IS SUCH A LOVING LITTLE GIRL.











WE ALWAYS TAKE A PICTURE OF US JUST BEFORE OUR ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY. CAN YOU SEE THE EXHAUSTION AND EXCITEMENT AT THE SAMETIME.

I have been busy

YES I HAVE BEEN BUSY WITH WORK, PARTIES AND MY FAVORITE GIFTS-MY GRANDCHILDREN. MARGOT,CHARLEY GRANT ,GRACIE,FLOYDEE AND FLETCHER. I FLEW GRANT AND GRACIE IN FOR 4 DAYS FROM BOISE AND WE DID THE TOWN. WE WENT TO GINGERBREAD TOWN AND THE TEDDY HOME AT GRAND AMERICA DOWNTOWN.

New York 9-4-2009

Yes, I finally got to go to New York and be a regular tourist and see all the sites. I did a double take when Paul told me where we were going for my birthday. I was so excited!

We stayed in Manhattan, took the subway everywhere, and a few taxis, and a bike ped through Central Park. We went to see Lady Liberty, Ground Zero and we shopped a Tiffany's. Needless to say we were exhausted everyday but we loved every minute of the trip.
