Had to show you what we got from Sonja - Jack got some divinity just like his Grandma Helen used to made, and I got a Peanut Butter Pie (those are 2 Reeses cups in the upper corners of the box) it is really big.

Merry Christmas - My brother Jack, his wife Angie with niece Jennifer and nephew Brian - looks like they are having a good time.

Jack and Angie's grandson (Brian's son), Jake sure looks a little excited about his laptop.

Jack & Angie's decorated tree in their front yard.

This motorhome pulled into our RV Park - I thought Kim & Morgan would enjoy this.

Wednesday - Dec. 9th - Vicki, Bob, Jack and I checked out the new Casino - the Q - that was just opened just west of Yuma over the California line. Did better and walked out $30 up,

These are a bunch of pictures of the courtyard of the Best Western that we stayed at in Scottsdale. There were no outside doors on the rooms, they all opened from the courtyard.

Jack checking out the bird cage.

Good size chess set.

Look at the twisted trunk on this tree.

Some of the mountains around Scottsdale had some strange holes in them.

Fort McDowell Casino - These were 3 of the casinos around Scottsdale that we just had to visit and donate to.

Bale of cotton that had just been picked off the field along the road.

Last week - Dec 1st and 2nd - we went over to Scottsdale, AZ with Vicki and Bob to drop off 2 of their friends - Dave and Orla - at the airport. This was a cactus that actually grew through the roof of this gas station.

Friday night a frozen 1# package of hamburger fell out of the freezer and landed on my big toe. It sure did hurt.

This is the RV Park where we are staying this year. It is just down the road from where we stayed last year, and is the same park Vickie and Bob are staying at.

This is the park model where Vickie and Bob live.

Monday - Nov. 16th - We arrived in Wellton, AZ. We are planning to stay here for at least 2 months. Temps are in the upper 70's during the day, and upper 40's at night, just perfect.

Going east on I-8 from Yuma, AZ to Wellton, AZ

Wednesday - Nov. 11th - We stopped and visited one of Jack's old high school buddy's, Harry Smith in Delta, Utah. Jack and Harry spent about 2 hours gossiping and catching up. We them made it as far as St. George, Utah and had a nice dinner with Jake (Val's middle son), his wife Sarah and their little guy, Kyler.

Finally on our way - left Tuesday, Nov. 10th about 2:00 PM.

Monday - Nov. 9th - Getting ready for our Winter Trip, and went to the Shelley Post Office to have our mail forwarded to Milo, and lo and behold a Senior, senior citizen backed into us.

Ashlyn, Ryen, Jana, Ty, Jack, Cash (Jana was watching her girlfriends little guy) and Sonja. Ashlyn was able to get home this weekend, so we celebrated her birthday at Olive Garden. Her birthday isn't until Oct. 24th, but she had to work around school and work.

We finally got the baby bear, so mommy bear is happy now.

Morgan and Jana --- Morgan flew home on Sept. 10th and stayed until the 20th. He spent some of the time practicing hunting (didn't get anything, which was probably good, because I don't know how they would have gotten it out). He spent the rest of the time visiting friends and family. It was really great to see him again.

Jack, Mark and Sonja. Sonja cooked Dutch Oven chicken and potatoes for us, and Mark made

a peach cobbler --- everything was delicious.

My sister-in-law, Angie had a birthday on Sept. 12th and we gave her a new birdhouse.

Boy am I behind --- These are a bunch of pictures that I took at the Blackfoot State Fair. It was held from Sept 5th thru Sept 12th. We went down quite a few times so that we could check out our horses. Maybe next year Jack can drive one of them.

Water Fountain at the Blackfoot State Fair --- Little horse and some big ones.

Clyde (Jack's first cousin) driving April. She got Grand Champion in the Pleasure Class. Clyde and his daughter Hanna have been working all summer with the horses. They have done an excellent job and came away with a lot of ribbons.

The 4H kids from Driggs came down to the Blackfoot State Fair to take part in the events on Saturday, Sept. 5th. This is a picture of Jessie Murdock with the horse we gave him. Jessie and his brother Russell did come in first place with both their horses in the wagon pull, but we had left already and didn't get to take a picture.

Friday August 28th, they delivered the bear we ordered to put on the tree stump in front of the Milo house. We are now waiting for the little bear that will go on the stump at the base of the big bear.

Thursday August 13th, Clyde, Hanna and grandchildren were in the Madison County Fair Parade in Rexburg, ID. The lighter color horse is our horse April and the darker one is Clyde's horse, Chubb.
