Snow Day

Yesterday and last night we got clobbered with snow. That is usually not a big deal but it was so warm then now it is freezing so we have a layer of ice outside.
So glad that I can say "Snow Day" and not have to hurry into work, I wasn't planning on working a whole day anyway since tomorrow will be worse with my work. (I do AP work so tomorrow my team will have to do month end as well as year end items)
I really don't do much but since I'm the boss think it best if I am there at least to support them.
This job is one big grateful item in my life.
It doesn't pay a lot but it pays enough to meet our needs and allows Nat to stay home with Boo and be a full time mom without us having to go without the basic items we want and need.

update on baby: Mom and bay are both doing great. Being a grandpa is a very cool feeling the 2nd time around as well as the 1st. I hope it will never get old.

Good times

I have a lot to be grateful for. First off my 2nd grandson was born today. Jo and Josh welcomed their 2nd little boy. He is doing great (as is his mom.) I think dad is a bit in shell shock but that will pass.
Two little grandsons...how great is life!
This past week has been great as well. Christmas with the family is always a favorite time for me. Boo loved it.
She has been asking for a pink kitchen for the last few weeks...well she got it and loves cooking for Daddy.
As the new year approaches I am filled with ideas that I want to get done and become this next year. More on that later.

Favorite Painting for Christmas

Fun Free Family Fun

Last Friday night we went to the Bountiful Light Parade on Main street. Not a big parade but a fun time.

Tonight we went over to a local merchant square to be part of "Miracle on 2600" Again free and fun.

If we don't support the local things they may not happen and that would be a great lose, not only for me but for my kids and grand kids.

The Season

I am so grateful for this time of year. I love Christmas. Today I had the joy of attending 2 Sacrament meetings which means Two chances to sing Christmas Songs. (I always go to 2 meetings but I love it at this time of year)
Today at Church several good friends came up to me and asked how I was doing. They are so sincere and I appreciate it so much.
One said the best line yet. "Aren't you glad your here" and yes I am glad I am here and that I have many more yet to come.

A Proud Dad!!!

The other night Cody was out to the house and told us that he had won a writing contest. He acted like it was no big deal.
Basically he entered a speech for a contest to the National Young Democrats of America on the current political outlook and where it is heading and it won.

Wow!!!! I am so proud of him. I don't agree with all of his political views but that is what makes this country great. The chance for a father and son to agree to disagree.
