Mom!!

Mom is doing soooo good. She is able to stand
on her own once you help her up. Her left side is
really starting to do well. Still not much from her left
arm, but it's just taking its time:) It was so neat to
see her and spend time with her. Her hair has grown
so much since last time I seen her in August and
she looks so beautiful!!

Me and mom right before I left to catch my flight back home!!
Man I look swollen and I havent even gotten on my long
flight,,, lol!!

I know its blurry, but me and mom right before going to church!!

Sam and Jamie's Special day!!

My brother Sam and his wife Jamie were sealed
in the Billings Temple January 17th, 2009! It was
so beautiful and I was so thankful I was able to be
a part of it:)

Mom and dad with Sam and Jamie!!

With Pat and Brenda... Jamie's mom and dad!!

Um yeah... I believe Brenda had the camera and we really

didn't know when she was taking the actual picture, so

some of my family was either goofing off or not paying attention:)

Surprise, Surprise!! LOL!!

Everyone coming out of the temple.

Me and my wonderful hubby:)

Carmen and Jeff!!

CRAZY Hilton White Elephant Exchange!!

This was a fun night for sure!! We had a wonderful dinner, got
to celebrate 2 of my sisters and one of my brothers birthdays,
all at the same time.... how cool is that!! Connie's was the 12th,
Tina's the 19th, and Wil's the 21st!!! They each got their favorite
cake made for them:) And we also got TONS of laughs from the
White Elephant Exchange!!! I think my favorite was the box
of condoms tapped to a Full Throttle energy drink along with
a $10.00 gift card to the local gas station. And there was 2 of
them going around and unfortunately they were both stolen
up to 3 times before Ronny or i got to choose:( Man i wanted
the gift card and Ronny wanted the energy drink!! However we
got stuck with a couple of candle holders!!

11 Bar H Temple Trot!!

ME AT MILE MARKER 1!!!
Dad and Barbara came up with an idea that we do a 5 mile
"Temple Trot" run the day before Sam & Jamie's sealing. You got
to choose if you wanted to "walk" 3 miles, or "run" 5 miles. I was all
about TRYING to run, however my hubby wouldnt allow me, maybe
because I was 30 weeks prego!! Good call too because there was
a few slips and falls on the patches of ice throughout the trail
dad mapped out for us. The weather turned out great and we had a
Blast!! Also we all got free t-shirts custom made by my sister
Barbara and her hubby Kurt named after my parents ranch that
we ran on along with silly nick names written on the backs, that
way you knew who you were about to pass!!

My sister Tina,,, not sure about her facial expression, maybe
just excited to get started!!

Me and my awesome dad!!

Couple of the walkers (Brenda and Aunt Jackie) and a
top runner,,,, Kurt!!

Three runners....of course. Dave (brother-in-law),
Matt (my brother), and obviously good old Pat!!
