Evy doesn't mind rice cereal anymore




But don't bother with pears

I tried to get a picture of her gagging and grimacing but my camera isn't fast enough. She's not much of a food fan.

Idaho February 16-17, 2010


Poor Grandma Carol broke her hip a couple weeks ago. She slipped on the ice in the church parking lot (she should totally sue. Just kidding) Don't worry about her though she's "farmstock" (her words) and she's recovering just nicely. My Mom spent the week with her helping around the house. I went up with Casey and his family to visit. This is the first time Evy met Grandma. This is four generations. L-R: Elena, Grandma Carol, Evy and Holly.


Next we drove to cousin Melissa's house and spent the night. I swore I wouldn't let them keep me up until 2am but unfortunately I did. Casey and Derek made a variety of foods from Asia. My eyes were burning. L-R: Cousin Melissa, Hayden and Derek.


Casey and Melissa's kids
L-R: Sami, Spencer, Brooklyn, Maddi and Jack


Group hug

Evy 4 month old pictures January 2010


I went over to Casey's at the beginning of January and we took some pics of Evy when she was 4 months old. (She is almost 5 months now in case you're wondering)










I'm planning on using this picture at her nursing school graduation when she's older.

Thanks to Aunt Jeanne for the cute outfit.

Bear Lake January 28-31, 2010


Nelson had a four day weekend, so we went to the cabin.
Coming into the Bear Lake valley. The clouds were completely covering the lake.


We saw tons of deer this weekend


On Friday Nelson and I drove to his grandpa's home he grew up in. His great uncle Leonard still lives there on occasion and maintains it. His grandpa and his four brothers grew up here. It is in Bloomington, Idaho. They built both these barns in 1914.


The Bloomington house from the front.


The back of the house where they had apple trees. (Leonard still eats them)


This is across the street and used to be the church. It is now the town hall.


Up the street is Bloomington cemetery where his grandpa Krogue is buried.


Nolan Lyman Krogue's tombstone.


Our friends Tyler and Mandy Snow came up. This is Nelson and their nephew Cobe snowmobiling. In the background is Tyler and his son Camden

Camden, Sawyer (their other son) and Cobe watching a movie.


Unfortunately for Mandy, she has to make cookies every time she sees us because we love her cookies. This week's delight was oatmeal chocolate chip and I ate a lot of them. Tyler grossed me out by pouring a bowl full of vitamin D milk and then breaking up a couple cookies into it. He then ate it like cereal. Awful.

Cabin January 22-24, 2010


The beach at Bear Lake. Looks toasty doesn't it?
Nelson, Darren, Gene, Evy and Holly went to the cabin for the weekend so Darren and Nelson could snowmobile. It was about 30 degrees during the day. That weekend the people in the town had a community day where they caught fish, had ice sculptures, etc. One of the activities was for Primary Children's Medical Center. Volunteers jumped into the lake. They had to have a physical prior to jumping. It sounds awful.


Evy asleep on the couch.


Evy. She's into sucking her thumb lately.


Taggert on the deck.


On the side of the cabin.

Mindy Sue's Baby Shower January 9, 2010






















The lady of the hour. Mindy is expecting a baby girl in February.


Had to include a picture of these little numbers. Yum






















Jessica playing a game. You had to talk on the phone, hold the baby (in this case a monkey - I forgot the baby doll) and hang things on the clothes line at the same time. Unfortunately Jessica took the longest amount of time to do it. We will forgive her, she's 7 months pregnant after all.
