Todd and Adam's Cast and Blast

Christmas 2015

Christmas was very relaxing this year. We stayed in our pj's all day. Then Todd cooked up a prime rib for dinner and we watched the CMA Christmas show as the snow fell outside. A wonderful Christmas!!

A Christmas Carol

Diana, Maxine and I went out on a date to the dinner theater. We saw  "A Christmas Carol".  It was a great way to start the Christmas season. 

Thanksgiving week

Boys Trip to South Dakota

The boys- Pete, Adam, Scott, Todd and Jeff went for a fun weekend to South Dakota pheasant hunting.  

Maxine and I were not on this "man trip," but we were very busy at home hitting all of the good deals shopping in Denver! We had quite the weekend shopping spree!

Finishing Harvest 2015

November 16, 2015 - Harvest is finally over!

We did this for 700+ feet counting every plant stem. We were hurting the next day for sure!

Moose and Levi visiting

Moose and Levi came to stay for a few days. We played.... a lot, and baked cupcake turkeys. 

They turned out so cute!!

Baby Anatomy Scan

Today we went in for Baby Flaming's anatomy scan. They checked out and measured  in detail every organ and body part including the baby's heart, brain, kidneys, bowels, facial features, hand, feet, arms and legs. Baby Flaming is perfectly healthy and growing right on track. Thank you Lord for answered prayers!!

                                      

                        The Big Reveal............ It's a GIRL!!!  

                     

Her sweet little face- Todd says she has my lips

          Todd and I are so excited and blessed to welcome this little bundle of sweet joy into our lives.

The Start to Harvest 2015

Harvest has begun with it's typical hurry up and wait status.

 We have had rain, 80 degrees days then rain again.

Yellowstone Trip

After years of discussing a trip to Yellowstone we finally made it happen. We spent six day and five nights enjoying all that Yellowstone has to offer. We drove over 1900 miles through all five entrances.  It was an amazing trip.

                     Yellowstone Lake- Todd had to go for a swim before enjoying our picnic lunch.

Us and the little one on the way

Todd was getting bribes to come back down and help others up the mountain. Maxine told them that she had booked him for the full day. 

 

Swimming at the Firehole. The water was just as warm as the outside temp we guessed at least 75 degrees 

.

                                     
                                      We visited Jeff's Aunt Lorene and family in Emigrant, MT

We kept track of all the animals we saw. We almost saw them all!
