Before & After...

After 10 months and a lot of hard work I am down 74 lbs. I'm not quite where I want to be but I can finally see the light at the end of the weight loss tunnel!

The mighty wrestler...

Sam was on the Piute High School wrestling team. He did pretty well considering it was his first and only year!










Happy Birthday, Courtney...15 yrs old

Courtney didn't get to come home for a Christmas visit this year. Maybe next year. So we visited her the day after Christmas and she got to open her Christmas presents and her birthday presents. Isn't her hair cute? She does it all by herself!

Courtney wanted a stuffed monkey.

Phefferkuffin Boys...

Steve's mom being from Germany would make Phefferkuffin boys for the kids every Christmas. We have tried to keep the tradition going since her passing. They have lots of fun making them. I think this is the one they made for Courtney.












Visit with Courtney

This picture was just so you can see how tall she is...

As tall as her dad...


Making gingerbread houses. We had lots of fun.








Thanksgiving building project

Steve finished the shelves in the cold storage room over Thanksgiving weekend. I can't find my before picture but it was just cement walls. He does such a great job making shelves!


Kurt Bestor Christmas Concert 2009

Kids and Steve went to the Kurt Bestor Christmas Concert. I got sick the day before and didn't feel much like going. They went out to eat and then had a great time at the concert.
