First 2010 Tumbling Competition

Cassie did very well her first competition this year.

I think her nerves got the best of most of the day but she wants to keep working on her skills and not being nervous.

Happy Birthday to Me!

January is a popular month for birthday's in my family and Scott's.

• Spencer - Jan 2nd
• Britney - Jan 8th
• Yvonne - Jan 18th
• James - Jan 19th
• Unarra - Jan 22nd
• Mine - Jan 24th
• Penina - Jan 24th
• Andrew - Jan 31st

and that is not counting the many aunt and uncles I have with birthday's in January.

Anyway we had a fun potluck on the Strong's side of the family on Sunday the 24th.

We also got together with Grandma Nelson the Saturday before to celebrate but I didn't get any pictures.

Scott surprised me this year with a nice watch. He usually can't keep a secret that long so I am very proud of him.

About three years ago I surprised him with a really really nice watch for Christmas so I think he was trying to get even with me.

I had a great #37 birthday - not bad, not bad at all.

Aprons, Aprons and more Aprons!!!

I have busy making more aprons for birthdays.

I owed Sara one for her birthday in December.

Doesn't baby Olsen look cute in the apron too?
Britney looks just lovely in her apron.

My beautiful niece Penina shares the same birthday as me.

She has been waiting a long time for her apron. Her two older sisters got theirs on there birthdays back in May.

I know I know Cassie's birthday is in July but I just got her apron done.

Sometimes you own kids are last..........

I think Sara was surprised HOW much more prego she looked in the apron.

She makes pregnancy look good.

Beautiful Ladies JUST beautiful!!!!!

New Year Weekend

We went to our land Saturday January 2nd for the day.

Scott played on top of the trailer cleaning off the snow. He only almost fell off the trailer once.

It was Scary!!!!
Cassie loved making tracks in the snow.

I think the dogs had the most fun of all.Sitting around the fire, cooking hot dogs and roasting marshmallows.......

and drinking hot chocolate.

Jason was at a scouting activity so dad helped make the snowman.

"What a good Daddy!"

Scott made the bottom.

Riley made the middle and Cassie made the head.

My job was the face, hat and arms.

Happy New Year! Wishing a good 2010 for everyone.
