Has SPRING SPRUNG???

Today is the first day of Spring 2012. It is cold outside and overcast. We had about an inch of snow yesterday and it was windy and cold. I sure hope it comes soon, spring that is. The snow has all melted today.
We really have nothing to complain about though. Our winter was unreal, very mild and hardly any snow. I only remember driving on snowy roads a few days last winter. It was really nice.
The spring work is just around the corner and I don't know if I am ready for all of it. It is a good thing I have John to help me because we have a lot to do.
Last week, Lindsay, the girls and I went down to Heathers for a few days to just get away and visit and relax. We had a nice time. I read lots of books to my grand daughters, we went swimming, we watched movies, took the girls pictures and did a little bit of shopping. It was nice, but time goes by so fast.
This week, John and I will be going to Boise on Thursday and Friday for David's graduation from Post. He has been there for 5 weeks doing and learning the things he needs for his job as a jailer. It will be nice to get away again and hopefully it will be really warm there.
Well, hopefully spring is on its way because I think I am ready. I hope you all have a great week and are excited for Spring to Spring forth. See ya later.

Great Times in Island Park

Last Friday afternoon the Johnson family picked us up and we headed to Island Park for a night getaway in the famous cabin (BRETT"S HOT TUB CABIN) It was so much fun and so relaxing. It was just what we needed. When we got there, some of them went for a snowmobile ride, some of us just relaxed, and some just played and played. We had a super time. We ate great food, played games, played pinochle, made hairbows, sat in the hot tub, and snowmobiled. On Saturday they all rode the snowmobiles quite a bit. Brett was tired of putting on snow clothes all thruout the day. At one time, it was really snowing and blowing. They were on the snowmobiles and I was sitting in the hot tub with the snow just drenching me. It was awesome, and so beautiful. They kept saying the roads were closed and Malorie and I were excited to think maybe we would get to stay over another night. But, we headed home about 7:30 that night. The Ashton hill was very slick and then there was such a terrible storm once we got to Ashton you could hardly see 2 feet in front of you. It lasted all the way to St. Anthony and then it cleared off and was nice.
It was such a fun weekend and we really want to thank Tif, Brett and the kids for inviting us. Thanks again. We love you and appreciate you.
