I do so like reading all your blogs. It is so nice to get to know what is going on in your lives. Candace we love seeing your pictures. We are "Technology Challenged" so we haven't figured out how to send pictures to everyone. Tammy needs to visit and maybe she can help us. I have some nice ones off all the snow we have and we still have snow on the ground. It just gets down to where you can see the grass and then it snows again. This week it is suppose to rain most of the time so maybe we will get rid of the snow. This is the most snow we have seen in a long time. They have really had trouble keeping Snowqualme pass open. Right now they are putting the snow in trucks and hauling it away. The snow is over 22 ft high along side of the roads and the snow plows and blowers can't push anymore. They have avalanches almost every day, so they are causing some of them on purpose. They said that right now they have 160% of what they usually have and it is suppose to snow at least for another couple of weeks, if not longer. All of those people who complained about not enough water last year are now complaining about to much.

Tate we saw your pictures of the trip to the dentist. We are so proud of you. You looked so brave. Those big teeth will come in and you will be eating steak with your daddy. I get a little afraid when I have to go to the dentist but now I know that if Tate can be brave so can I. We miss you.

Oh boys, I don't know if dad told you or not but Sister Virginia Gray passed away this past weekend. They had a nice service for her today. Curtis said he was going to drive the hearse and keep telling her to sit down in her seat, just like she had told him for years when she drove the school bus.

We still don't have floors in the bathroom or kitchen and to top it all off my deep-freeze that was on the back porch quit on me. Most of the vegetables, jams, strawberrries, and rasberries plus all the ice-cream had to be thrown away. Now dad is trying to talk me into an upright. He said it will be more organized and take up less space. Oh, little does he know I can unorganize anything.

Candace we are happy that you are feeling a little better. We hope this is the beginning of the end of all morning sickness. Watch taking to much unisom. Don't put the baby to sleep too. When we first saw your graph of the Hinkley challenge we thought it was a graph of the time you had left in your pregnacy. I told Jim that was a depressing graph. We were glad to see it was something else that will move a little faster.

Well we just go back from watching the Riner's ball games and dad is out trying to get another pole in the ground so we can get hooked up to HD tomorrow. I don't know how he is doing it. It is cold and dark and we may have a lop-sided pole by tomorrow. But he had to haul hay all day long and this is the first he had had to get outside. It will be interesting to look at the pole in the morning.

We miss and love you all. mom and dad

P.S. remember grandma McGary's birthday is Thursday. If you have time give her a call.. It will really brighten her day.

Sheryl,
I am so thrilled that you are starting to keep up on your blog. I can't explain how much I personally appreciate it and love it.
I can't believe all that snow. At least it is melting around your house. It just keeps piling up here. We lost another calf last night because it hits that deep snow and can't survive. It's freezing and I just keep pushing my kids outside. I tell them I need a break from them and they need one from me. :)
I wish I lived closer and I would show you how to add pictures, comment on others blogs, and even add some music from your time. I guess that will have to be Tammy's job. I think you would love it though. I know I've gotten my mom hooked. :)
Sorry to hear about your freezer. It seems when it rains it pours. Knock on wood but everything in our house seems to be holding up so far. You never know what kinks will work their way out.
I am being careful with the Unisom. Infact, I've only taken it a couple nights because I don't like the hangover feeling. I can say though it's the best sleep I've had in months since I'm still not sleeping well. Overall I doing really well. We've just found out throwing up is part of our lives. It doesn't even phase either one of us now.
I better get correcting papers while I still have time just wanted to say hi. Thanks for reminding us about Grandma. We'll give her a call. Love ya!
