CATCH UP

Guess I'd better play catchup a little bit. It's been a very long time since I posted last. Below are pictures of the snow, Mom's wedding, and Halloween. I know this isn't really much of a post, but I think the pictures say it all! Mariah had the camera at the wedding so these are the snapshots she took. I think she did a pretty good job. I especially like the picture of Rich!

Nearly forgot to post the picture of the "End of the Year Concert"

Mariah's Haircut

Mariah has been asking for at least a year if she could get her hair cut really short. Well -- here is a witness to the power of persistence. I did make her promise to remember that it was her idea, not mine.

I love being a part of this family!

What a lucky woman I am!! Look at these fantastic children and their incredibly handsome father. I sure hope they know how absolutely blessed I feel being their mother and wife.

Hazard Creek

Travis wanted to stop and do some fishing on our way home. One of our favorite places to stop is Hazard Creek (south of Riggins). Water was just too high and too fast for very good fishing. Trav and Keagan caught a little tiny one and that's it. Mariah, Soph and I had a great time climbing around and taking pix though.

Looks exciting, but really the fly is caught in a bush and Tuck is trying to get it out while Keagan held his pole. Sorry to disappoint.

The Payette

We decided to drive through McCall going home this time. The Payette was extremely full and moving very quickly. We stopped several times to take pictures of the water. Not many people floating that river right now.

Trip to Kuna

What a fanstastic weekend we had!! We went to Kuna for a few days and got to visit with Johna and Trevor and their kids -- Sam even flew in (thanks Johna!!). As you can tell by the pictures we had an absolute blast!! I only wish Rich could have been there with us. AND -- of course -- we all missed Dad.
