Had to post this just makes me laugh ... I got this Pic from my sister today...My niece and nephew got into grandma's cornstarch and had it every where. They are so dang cute.. LMAO LMAO LMAO

So on NYE we pretty much chilled deep fried some goodies and watched some TV.. I worked that day Matt and Jay went to the hockey game so they where feeling pretty good by the time we all got home :) I got a new Camera for X-mas and I just played with the setting and stuff so here is what I got :) I think I like ME :)

So this christmas was a good one ... there where a few bumps but what is life with out a few bumps right... So Santa brought the kids ROCK BAND for the kids on there XBOX. Well Christmas eve I am headed home from work and Matt calls to let me know that the XBOX is giving him the 3 RINGS... UGH remeber it is now 730 on christmas eve. No where was open and there is no way (that I know of)to fix it. So santa left the rock band out the kids where excited, we told them about the XBOX and they did ok playing with EVERYTHING else they got... They sure got spoiled. The other bump I ordered Matt A Peyton Manning jersey back in October. well.... It was a size 56 and matt is far from a 56 :( I was so sad becasue I did not even realize until the middle of December what size it was. So I sent it back on 12/28 and called to have them send him a new one the right size... UGH THEY WHERE OUT OF STOCK...WTF who I mean WHO is out of stock of the UNDEFEATED COLTS QUARTERBACK... Seriously they are 16-1... UGH so I had to pull some sneaky moves but I got it on its way so I hope that he gets it soon.... Well that is some stories from Christmas. One of these days I am going to have to go private because I know that there are folks that get on here that are not really welcome..You know who you are! but oh well for now ... LIVE LAUGH LOVE that's all we can do :)

Ok so we went to Idaho last weekend to my dad's new swimming hole :) It is in SHOSHONE Falls ID. It was AWESOME. They have a diving board into the lake and there are cliff's to jump off ( if you dare ) and there is even a little kid area. that is roped off. I dont have any pictures of where we where swimming. If I get ahold of some I will post them for sure but I got a couple great ones of the FALLS and the little friends that where having lunch near by..

Of Course Matt and I come first :) Ariana & Kaiden Matt & Kaiden Ariana playin in the mudd ... Eckman Boys ... Ben , Matt & Joe Last but not least the Eckman Famliy It was a good weekend in Cedar i love going down there to see the family and get away.

Well we took the annual trip to Lagoon this weekend it turned out pretty good. The kids had a blast of course. Especialy when Ariana got to stay tell closing because her uncle Ben was cool enough to rough it out. Well there was not to many picture's but I got a few cute ones of the kids (including matt) running thru the water in the main entrance. Next time I think they will think twice about it because they where FROZE... Oh well memories RIGHT.. We had a great time and super happy that we decided to go. One of our niece's was in a cloggin competition and of coarse she did AWESOME! Kaiden really enjoyed watchin her dance he thought it was some cool stuff. Even so he was trying the steps in the stands... What a silly dude he is :) Well enjoy the pics... And Yes the one where it does not look like my family is in it look close Matt grabbed Ariana and RAN her thru the middle. Kaiden ran thru like a champ but she was a little scared.. GOOD TIMES
