It keeps comin'!

After a previous attempt to go sledding that ended in near-disaster (I thought I broke my shoulder), today's 7.5 inches of snow (exact measurement thanks to Matt and his handy-dandy measuring skills) provided the perfect opportunity to try again (& pop Katie's tube again) ... and have other fun!

Sammy's legs disappeared in the snow.. he is a good sport

SLEDDING!... this picture doesn't do it justice, but the bowl was littered with people and the sunset was really pretty! Here are pictures of Matt getting ready to go, my face soaked by snow, Katie showing her enthusiasm, and Chals about to zoom down the hill!

The Miracle of the Magic Eraser

Dear Mr. Clean,

This past Saturday you completely shocked and astonished me with what you are capable of doing. I have been aware of the magic of the eraser for some time now - I've seen it take spots off walls and floors in one swoosh of the hand. Nevertheless, nothing could have prepared me for the work you did in my bathtub on Saturday. Several months ago a neighborhood friend mentioned your talent on tubs and I silently filed that information away in my brain. It was not until just a few days ago that I finally put that knowledge into action. OH MY GOODNESS. My tub is PRISTINE (much to my joy... and also disgusted shock considering I didn't realize what was and wasn't rubbed in grime *shudder*). I will forever be in your debt.

Sincerely,
Jordyn Spann

Christmas/New Years 2007

When it was November 29th and we didn't have plane tickets yet, Matt and I began to realize we might be spending our Christmas alone with Sammy. Amazingly enough - in a stroke of luck - we randomly found tickets with Frontier that weren't an arm and a leg and so we quickly snatched them up!

The Holidays were spent with the usual good Tennessee time...

A Pig...

Dogs On Horses...

A Good Natured Game of Corn Toss
(note the "Ferocious Frogs" look of innocence and the "Rabid Rabbits" scowl... haha!)

And Some Classic Mormon-Style Partying ... :)

(Of course, that's martinelli's, although Matt's crazed look might have told you otherwise)...

As you can see, we had yet another great time -

lots of family, fun, and good food (essentials for life)!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
