I am reminded of a little poem I heard as I freeze going out to feed...

WINTER Poem
It's winter in Idaho
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour At thirty-five below.
Oh, how I love Idaho
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.
Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Idaho
I'm frozen to the ground!

Red Butte Greenhouse

Some pictures Monty had left me. Just a little lift for the winter blues. Just think, all these are waiting under 8' of snow. Just saving up all their color and vibrance.

Lost

Hey, where do I find Chris' gear and Monty's music?

Ok. Were are my photos?

Two Oceans

We visited the coast of the China Sea and the Pacific Coast. The oceans are facinating.

AWAYS A KID!

It was nice to kick back and have fun on our trip to Baugio.

New Gadget

I (shaney) posted new gadgets. If you haven't figured out, the clock on the right is Idaho, the one on the left is ma & pa. Also for mom and dad, the temp is available. Just click on the "edit" next to New York ( I couldn't get it to save Idaho) and type in the zip. Enjoy, I was bored, Chris is at the Klondike.

Kid Update

The Karaoke machine is still a hit. Oak sings to her hearts content and Dillon rolls his eyes and says "mom make her stop, I use to like that song." Its like Grandpa use to say, "I recognize the words, but the tune, not so much". Cody is quite the Karaoke king, maybe when he is jamming out with the kids next time we can get a picture. We dont go far without the tape.

He does smile, he just doesn't open his eyes all the time. He thinks if he fakes asleep Dillon will leave him alone... Right!

Recognize the shirt mom?

Miley and her transformation

Dillon still at it

Somehow I thought he would outgrown the "tying things up game". He was pretty excited to tell Chris that he did something to his boots...

whitlee skiing

whitlee went skiing why we were in utah she did lesson and then hiked up the hill to ski back down. because i didn't dare send her on the lift with only my nephew to help her off. ( the instructor woundn't take her cause he ran out of time).but she had fun anyways maybe next time i will fit into my snow clothes and go with her and bailee. notice her hands we would say make a big pizza and her hands would go farther back. sooooo cutie

Still a Kid
