wonderful family party

Thank you to everyone who helped make Sat a great day. I throughly enjoyed the day, spending it with family. I didn't have a bad bowl of soup! The fool was wonderful.......thanks to all the good cooks in the family. And a special thank-you to the man in red.......I'm sure the kids really enjoyed our special guest. The gift exchange was awesome, now that we know how it it done, the next one will be even more FUN.
Thank you to everyone, for everything, from traveling, to cooking, to bringing gifts to all the special things you did to make the day fun.
Happy Holidays to all
Love to all

Family Reunion

Hi,
There are a few postings asking about a pot luck, just pot luck, or do we sign up for something?
It has been suggested to me that we do a SOUP THEME POT LUCK, and I think that sounds interesting. Hopefully there will be 3 to 5 kinds of soups (chili, cream base, broth base, etc.) Other items needed will be sandwich makings (meat, cheese, chicken salad, tuna salad) lettuce, tomato (?), breads and buns, crackers, maybe raw veggies, salads (lettuce greens, broccoli, something that will go good with soups). And, of course, a sampling of Christmas baking. It will be like the pick two at Panera........ONLY BETTER!!!!
If this sounds good to everyone, lets go with it.
Please post comments and what you think you would like to bring.
Also, for those of you that want to do a "white elephant gift exchange", bring a wrapped gift (or bagged) and we will have FUN with it.
Michelle please post the hours we have the hall, and hope to see you all there early for an enjoyable day with family.
A Happy and Safe Thanksgiving Holiday to all..........love you all.

Baby Girl

Hello everyone;
Some of you may have known this but I did not until tonight. I called Sharon to see if Jenny and David had their baby and if everything was ok. They had a baby girl September 8, 2008. Her name is Layla Jean and she weighed in at 6lbs 12 oz.
love to all Ann

Greetins

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let everyone know what is going on in our lives. For those of you that didn't know, Ken and I were gone Sept 12-19 on vacation to Monreal, Canada. We took a day trip into Quebec City, and a day tour of Montreal. In Montreal we saw the Olympic Village, botantical garden, and churches!!!!!!!! 450 churches in Montreal, 75% of them are Roman Catholic. The area is very old and has lots of history - I was very surprised at how much history we were told about both cities and the country of Canada. It was all very interesing and beautiful. And we did lots of walking. The only times we didn't walk, was the tours, and the cab rides to and from the airport.
On Sunday, Oct 5, I spent the day at Kasson at a scrapbooking get-together. Michelle, Heather, Nancy, Barb and Kim were all there, so it was lots of fun. I decided to go so I could go something with the Montreal pictures........I didn't get all the pages done, but did get a good start.
On Monday it was back to work............
I'll get some pictures up for all to see in a few days........

Bob's Camping

Hello to all. Just a quick note to say HI to everyone and to let you know what is going on in Wyoming.
We went camping with some friends over the Labor Day weekend. The boys decided that it would be a good time to sight in their rifles on a few prairie dogs. Bob put the camper on his pickup, loaded up the four wheeler and we were on our way. We went up past Medicine Bow on some BLM land where the boys like to go antelope hunting. There is a nice open space where we can park the campers and trailers. They are a bunch of trails up there that we can take the four wheelers on to get back into the hills and hunt for prairie dogs. We found quite a few to test our aim out on. Bob even got to use his shooting sticks on some of them.
Some other friends of ours came by to have supper with us on Saturday night. They were out driving around hunting up a few prairie dogs and stopped by to see what we had found. They stayed for a while and we even got to roast some marshmallows over the camp fire.
We were going to stay until Monday morning, but a pretty nasty cold front came through on Sunday morning and it started raining so we packed up and came home that afternoon.
Hope everyone is well and I will send you more pictures etc as the hunting seasons progress.
Bob and Julie
