Mini Reunion

We had a mini reunion this past weekend with all of our children in town minus a couple of spouses. Here are a few photos. Matt had quite a cheering section at his little league game!

Utah Spring

It's amazing how quickly the weather changes around here. I drove to work in a virtual blizzard the other day. When I get off the sun's broken thru with blue sky overhead and fluffy white clouds all around. These shots are the best I could do but don't really capture the moment. You'd need a 360 degree panoramic camera and I'm not even sure that would cut it! Sometimes I need a reminder of why I love living here!!!

Dixie Chicks -1

2 Chicks are better than no Chicks! In fact these 2 sound so good as a duo I have to ask why didn't they think of it sooner! Natalie who?!!!

More Snow Fun

Had a beautiful snowfall yesterday. Then enjoyed a little fun in the snow with Josh and Matt. They were proud of the jump they created so they could catch a little air!

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

Ain't it beautiful?!!!
(Not me. The snow.)

The Black Hole Tree

That's what I'm talking about!

Christmas at the Carters 2009

This was the first Christmas in 38 years that it was just me and Kathy in the morning. We kinda slept in at least by our standards. We spent Christmas eve with Kathy's sister Barbara. Had a great time eating dinner and playing games. Just the 3 of us! She came over at 9:00 AM in the morning. Di and Sam also showed up about the same time. We then opened our presents and went over to Barbara's to open hers. We didn't have any more visitors until afternoon when all our local adult children and spouses dragged in. Lynda and her family were the exception. They're spending Christmas in Cedar City with Jason's family. We had dinner and the usual Carter game night well into the evening. No grand kids! That was the only downer, but Josh and Matt will be along this week so we'll get some quality play time in when they show up. Maybe even a little winter back yard camping experience! We call our tree the "black hole" because it seems to suck in more light than it gives off. I'm not so sure led lights are such a hot idea after all. I'll try to remember to add a night time picture of it. You just can't see the effect in this day time shot.

Merry Christmas to All!!!
