The Last Day of 2011

Well yesterday I was looking through my photos, and found this one from the end of December last year...

So I took this picture yesterday, about 1 year apart.

The lack of snow has me worried as a professional and as an individual. Last year was sooo good, but we need more winters like this to recharge our aquifers...OK off y soap box!!
So now I will give a fast look back at or adventures in 2011...
ENJOY!

We lost our dear friend Ralph Gifford in January...RIP one of the greatest men I have ever met.

We started Bountiful Baskets and have enjoyed the savings and delicious fruit and veggies every other week all year.....$15.00 each time for at least $45.00 in produce from the store :-D

My sis Kristina had her first baby...Little Eaven...Hes such a cutie!!!!!

Carson started Track at school. He lettered as a Freshman...Yeah thats my boy!!!!! Sprinter just like his mom :)

I had foot surgery and my work sent these beautiful flowers....It really made me feel better. AND the foot has never felt better in a very long time..so glad I found Dr Paul Daniels..He was a God send for sure!!

I planted my flower garden in the front...Dan made fun of me, but it turned out nice to spite the early June snow we got.

I cut the tulips before they dies off to enjoy them in the house. :)

We bought a great entertainment center for $50.00...

Yazzi came to visit..Gunny was her buddy the whole time, and she cooked marshmallows over the fire for the first time ever. She got mad at me at first then when she tasted it she couldnt get enough....

Dan had fun playing with Yazzi at the park too... WOW what a RIDE!!!! This slide is all rollers.

Yazzi loved the tire swing at the Diamondville Park.

We took our annual trip to Yellowstone too.....

We love to camp at Colter Bay and rent a Tent Cabin...It was a great trip!!!

We played on the beach at Yellowstone Lake for more than an hour...WOW it was FUN!!!

We also stopped at all the look outs...Dan missed the best view here LOL!! :-D

Carson Volunteered for the BLM Native Seed Program all summer...he logged over 300 hours. This is John Christensen our Field Manager presenting him with a certificate. He also got a leatherman and fleece jacket. Carson is a HARD worker and we are proud of him!

We had a truck slide off a shale hill into a creek and Dan and I both got to work together on it to recover it and he did all the mapping for me.

We FINALLY got our perfect dinning set...patience prevailed here we got this set for $100.00. Dan sold a hard drive we couldn't use that was still new and we bought the table!

Carson has a cute girlie friend ;-}

 The Duck Hunt Opener...well sort of, our friends read it wrong, and it was date 2..but Dan dropped several birds on the river.

We brought Giffords kitty Tootsie home...hes been fun..silly cat Gunny is still jealous.

Dad and Etta came for supper, and Dan made lots of bead pudding YUMMMMM!!

We made cookies for Halloween...They were gone as fast as we made them hehehehe!

I went on training twice from the last week of November to the third week of December.....

Dan got his snow blower....too bad this was the first and only big snow we have had to date.....

So we are ready for Christmas.....

Soooo This should say it all LOL!!!

Carson claimed the quilt Karen made us for Christmas...he spent four fun days with us, and drove me around town...hes getting to be a good driver. :)

So we leave you with this as a welcome to 2012....to you our family and friends....have a SAFE and HAPPY New Year!!!
See ya next year!!!!
