Past couple of days

Not a whole lot has been going on over here excpet that we've been getting rain, rain, and more rain! Sunday morning we woke up to snow...after we've been hearing for like a week that we would get snow every night!

A couple of branches off the new trees broke off, so mom braved the weather to go out there and tried knocking off some of the snow to save her poor trees.
Also on Sunday Joe and I went to White Sulfer Springs to look at some horses that were for sale. We liked what we saw :) So maybe in afew days I'll post our new horses, along with baby chicks that should come in tomorrow.

And yes...we did buy her:p

Karissa's 18th Birthday!

baby bluebirds

My favorite bird is the bluebirds!!

The last two years we've had the enjoyment of watching them raise a family in Duane's birdhouse. Its such a pretty sight :)

I tried to get a few pictures of the inside of the house...

Inside our bird house.

Two of them hatched last Thursday, and then today when I looked I seen that all five were hatched and hungry!

Slippers

This past week-end was a wonderful time for us :) Dad got to go riding/bear hunting, Joe and Kaylena went 4-wheeling, Karissa, Duane, Luanna JaLynn and I all went hiking while mom and David went to a couple garage sales.

It was such a beautiful day and for JaLynn it was extra special because while mom was at a garage sale she found a special little free 'gift' for JaLynn-which thrilled her!

So meet Slippers!!

You can see why they named her slippers :)

Yes, she does have extra toes *smile*
The little girls have been wanting a kitty for a long time but with our dogs we didn't think that it would be a good idea, but how could you resist those cute little antics?

So now we have an extra little joy for the girls, and so far they are enjoying every minute of it! (And of course, David enjoys her too!)

She's packing...

With a wedding coming on next month Kim, Joe, and Karissa decided to go to OK for a week or so to work on the house-and pack up most of the things Kim wouldn't be needing before the wedding.

Turned out to be quite the job!!

Lots of sorting to do :)

Thankfully there's lots of help...

They will be leaving at 4:00 am tomorrow morning.

Please keep them in your prayers as they travel :)

Glick Family

Jan. 1 2009 was the 50th anniversary for our Glick grandparents. With their 13 children, 12 spouses, (of the children's) 82 grandchildren, (5 grandchildren's spouses) and 10 great-grandchildren there was quite a crowd of descendants :) Most also seem to be fervently serving the Lord, which they feel is the biggest blessing.

50th

whole Glick family


Them with their 13 children

Now with the spouses

I can't seem to get the pictures any larger...Hmmm,

Christmas!/JaLynns Birthday

A closer view of the cake

Our church made a simple video for Christmas, so the last day I brought along my camera and got a few snaps.

Kaylena as a shepherd

David as Jesus. He was in SUCH a bad mood both times!!

Mary and Jesus

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and A Great New Year ahead of you!!

Is this your psalm?

The 23rd Channel

The TV is my shepherd. My spiritual growth shall want.

It maketh me to sit down and do nothing for its names sake, because it requireth all my spare time. It keepeth me from doing my duty as a Christian, because it presenteth so many good shows that I must see.

It restoreth my knowledge of the things of the world and keepeth me from the study of Gods work. It leadeth me in the paths of failing to attend the evening (or other) church services, and doing nothing in the Kingdom of God.

Yea, though I live to be a hundred I shall keep viewing my TV as long as it will work, for it is my closest companion.

Its sounds and pictures they comfort me.

It presenteth entertainment before me and keepeth me from doing important things with my family. It fill my head with ideas which differ from those in the Word of God.

Surely no good things will come out of my life because of so many wasted hours, and I shall dwell in my regrets and remorse forever.

Selected.

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year and got to have different relatives and friends:)

I didn't get very many good pictures but here are a few random photos.

Duane and our cousin Mitch playing some kind of knuckle game?

David enjoyed his Thanksgiving day by sleeping all afternoon!

Dad decided the throw-away plastic plates just weren't big enough to hold all the food! That was AFTER it broke on him and the floor got half of his food.


Ben and our cousin Zack arm wrestling. They were perfectly tie, and after not getting anywhere after at least five minutes they decided to call it a tie.

Kim and Kevin

(They are now engaged!)

I brought the lady I work for over for Thanksgiving. She used to own her own fur business so here dad is trying out her coat. Needless to say he was a little to big for it :)

Dad and Mrs. Brown

(They just both can't get into the coat at the same time!)
