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..

Oh gees yet another funn and exciting weekend in the ECKMAN/YOCOM house. There was water balloon fights, dog walkin, cuzin's visiting, BarBQ for Gaby's Babtism, and it all ended with some GREAT dutch oven provided by the one and only duo MATT & JAY. They made a great chicken courdon blu. It was lookin a little scary but they pulled it off yet again. I am lovin the whole dutch oven IDEA. We need to invest in more so that we can cook and cook and cook. Well after dinner I was cleaning up in the kitchen Heidi was attending to Katelynn, Matt was out refreshing Dukes water. OH WHERE IS JAY.... Well I was doing dish's and I here CRASH so loud. At first I thought that it was lighting because the clouds where dark and there was a little shower startin. Well I look out the kitchen window to find JAY standing there with on OH SHIT look on his face.. So I step out onto the deck to find .... YES Jay had shoot a can and the BB nust have been angled or something because it went thru the can and thru my table.. GEES IT WAS HILLAROUS TO SAY THE LEAST. Here is some clean up photos.. Dont let them fool ya me and Heidi where both on our knees tryin to get glass out of the cracks in the deck.
