Happy Birthday Mom and Dad!


To the best Mom and Dad on earth, Happy Birthday! I love you!

This picture was taken while we were visiting friends in Colorado a few years ago. Mom and Dad still look the same. They're very active and healthy, for which we are all very thankful! If we took a picture of them today the scene would be ice coated. School has been called off again today because of the ice.
The New Year started off with a bang, literally! We "partied" with the Rockholds, Mickelsons, Mom and Dad and Travis and Gail at the Rockhold's house, eating and playing games until midnight and then firing off a New Year's salute! It was a great time.
We've had plenty of work so far this year, and are thankful. When the temperatures dropped below zero, and the snow was piling up, it was a little stressful, but we were so blessed! We had no problems with machinery starting up and running, and we were able to get everything done with no complications. That may seem insignificant to some people, but we believe God cares about us and for us, and He answers our prayers. We are thankful!
Our snow is now almost gone, but this morning we have a layer of ice. We're enjoying it from the warmth and comfort of our home. We don't have to go out in it until this evening when we plan to meet with the family to celebrate the birthdays of Mom and Dad.
Happy Birthday, Mom and Dad!
