Fifty- nine is Mighty fine

For my birthday this year us girls all went to Kellogg to stay in the Silver Mountain Resort, we all met in Osburn first and went to lunch at Mom's little diner there in town and then later on we headed to our cozy comfy hotel room which was more like an apartment. It was soo beautiful and roomy and so fun to be all together. We got all settled in and then headed to the water park which is attached to the hotel, Cheryl and I did the lazy river first and then we all went to the big slide... I had a nagging feeling that I should not go down this slide but I ignored my nagging feeling and went, we all went in one big tube and right away once we got going I knew this was a bad idea.. the slide was pitch black and curvey as all get out! I got so motion sickness that by the time we got to the end I could barely crawl out of the innertube and get to a chair.Oh I felt soo sick and unfortunately that sickness last all night long, so I missed out on dinner and had to lay on the couch with a wet towel on my head. The next day I felt a little better and was able to have breakfast..we loaded up and went back to Whitneys and then Cheryl Whitney and I went snow shoeing on the Pulaski trail which was soo beautiful with all the snow and quietness and just beauty all around. I had the best birthday ever, I loved every minute spending time with my girls and my sister.

Kylah the great debater

Kylah is on the debate team at her high school in Ashland OR and she is a great debater. She is very smart and has won several awards. she wanted me to take a few pics of her and her awards. I hope she can keep it up and maybe get a scholarship to college.

Snow shoeing

Before we got to Leavenworth the girls and I talked about going snow shoeing ,so one beautiful morning we set our plan in action. Melanie unfortunatley was sick and could not go with us, but Me, Maddy, Steph , kim and Whitney strapped our shoes into snow shoes and away we went. We just crossed the field down to the river but it was so fun and so gorgeous. This was my first time and I loved it.

Christmas in Leavenworth

Christmas morning after presents and breakfast George and I drove up to Leavenworth to spend a few days with our Fromm Family. Melanie Ky and Ryan, kim and her family and Whitney and her family came up the day after Christmas. It was soo wonderful to be there, I absolutely love it there and would go every weekend if I could. So we got to spend a few days playing with all the kids, playing in the snow, watching moveis, playing games and eating eating eating!!
