Star Valley Happenings

About a week ago, Dusty and I packed up our car to the brim and made the 8 hour trek to Star Valley for the Holidays. For any of you that haven't been to western Wyoming, it's pretty darn frigid in the winter time. So, since we don't want to go outside very often we manage to find ways to kill the time inside. For example, random pictures of everyone. Turns out that the sisters are naturals in front of a camera!








This is basically what Lauren does all day.


Tyson really likes his Grandpa. He loves to listen to men's voices, and Grandpa can really make him laugh hard.


Tyson, Grammie Jewels, and Willy are enjoying If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, one of the best children's stories.

Our Mary and Joseph Party- the basic idea is to celebrate the the Savior by discussing parts of the Nativity story and eating things that He would have eaten.


Items on the menu included olives, goat cheese, pita bread, fish, cake, figs, dates, hummus, pesto, and of course, sparkling grape juice.

Going Postal !!!!

The funniest thing happened to me the other morning. But before I tell the whole story, you need some history. I have been doing some mega shopping on eBay because Tyson is outgrowing all of his 3-6 month clothes. He needed practically everything. So, needless to say, I have been receiving quite a few packages the past week or so. My mail lady is very friendly. I remember chatting with her when I was about a week overdue with Tyson. She was very empathetic, and shared her own pregancy stories with me. Well, she rang the door bell with a bunch of packages ( in Cedar they sometimes come right to your door to deliver the mail) and said "Girl, you are outta control". We laughed together for a minute, and then she said, "let me show you this cool website since you obviously like to find a good deal." She came right on in the house -good thing I had tidied up a bit, and put on a little makeup, and I guess gotten dressed since it was 8:30 am-and showed me the pinching pennies website I have a link to now on the blog. She showed me a little bit how it worked, and showed me how to find all the good deals on the web. Then she was on her way. People, this is a pretty cool website. That was going way beyond the call of duty, but I am glad she did. Perhaps she was all done after delivering the giganormous pile of packages she did to me. Anyways, kind of a fun story..... have a great day.

PS No wonder there are so many jokes about kids looking like the UPS guy. The mail workers are all so darn friendly!! :)

Check out those eyelashes!


I can't believe how long his hair has gotten- it kindof has a mind of its own.
