Have you laughed lately?

Brian Regan is my all time favorite comedian. The best part of all is that he tells clean jokes. When my son showed us his DVD I have never laughed so hard for such a long time. My stomach hurt. It was his "Walk on the Moon" DVD. This is just a sample. If you have a chance--check it out. HILARIOUS!!!

BUSY< BUSY HOLIDAYS!!!

Do you have as many birthdays in the holidays as we do?
It seems like one after another starting with Corby that turned 18 on November 26th...
Corby works at Jack and the Box so we thought we'd embarrass him and take his picture at the window. He doesn't get embarrassed. Corby loves life!

Then it was Mikaela's "Sweet 16" so she got all the bells and whistles with a surprise party on the 9th of December...

The Chaz thought he'd gotten forgotten about because his was the 13th of December but he IS an ol' married man now but he got a celebration as well. Notice the smoke from all the candles...

Then, of course...CHRISTMAS...YAH!

Wait....we're not finished...my husband's big "50" Whew!!

What did you all do for New Years? We celebrated by playing a murder mystery that we've been doing for 7 or 8 years now with some long time great friends....

If THAT doesn't make one tired enough but we added another birthday with Chaz's wife's birthday being January 3rd (tomorrow) and Heather's is January 9th, same birthday as her wonderful grandma. (I know you're reading this mom) so the fun never ends....let me know how the holdays go for you! The end of January pretty much looks like this....

Just a quick health tip for the Holiday Season as we like to overindulge with food...did I say that? Naw....it's form the Almanac:

For stomachaches:
1 1/2 t. ground cinnamon in 1 C. warm water. Cover and let sit 15 minutes. Then drink like a tea.
It's also good for diarrhea and flatulence.

Also:
peppermint and chamomile teas are 2 good ones. They also help reduce gas.

Sorry that I haven't added too much on here lately. You know how crazy the holidays are anyway but we are also experiencing technical difficulties with our computer. It's crashed 3 times now so I'm on an ancient and TERRIBLY SLOW computer. It might not even download pictures. So, hope to get things going again after Christmas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!

ONLY IN IDAHO!!!

Our ward put on their hillbilly hoe down on Saturday night complete with a hog calling contest, pie eating contest, games, chili and cobbler contest. It was a smash with tons of people everywhere. The kids, of course enjoyed it the most. The two people were the costume winners. Michael, my hubby is shown doing his hog calling coming in 2nd place. Tony is the boy with the toilet seat around him--the big winner. Emily is showing off her hicksville buck teeth that were passed out. It was the 1st one and they may make it a new tradition. I was surprised with the turnout how many hicks there really are in good ol' I-DEE-Ho!! :D

Chaz and Ali's wedding day was a sweet day! They are so happy!

Chaz and Ali Johnson!!

Hey y'all!
This is another thought for my thought corner....
Ben Franklin once said....It's insanity to continue to do the same things and
expect a different result.
(Think about this one. It's so true in every aspect of our lives.)
