How to grow a man...

This is how we grow men in these parts. When they are just getting into their terrible two's plant them in a large hole. Be sure they get plenty of food and water and watch 'em grow. For best results don't pick until they are at least 26 years of age and can at least be reasoned with!

Asha

Well she is not out of the woods yet, but they did release her from the hospital last night. When she got to Pocatello, the medical team there decided she wasn't as bad off as they had figured in Bear Lake. (Good news for us!) They decided that she had a cracked neck, some cracked ribs, and a broken pelvis. They sent her home with a walker and I don't think she will be going anywhere anytime soon. She is in quite a bit of pain! We are very blessed that things were not worse and are greatful that she is still with us!

Anniversary Shin-dig!

We all got together for Mom and Dad Bethers 40th wedding anniversary! James has a HUGE family, so everyone was not able to come....but we managed to get some great family pics without them. We stayed at Murrdocks Lodge ( if any of you Murrdocks happen to read this.....Thank you, thank you thank you!!!!) It is HUGE and accomidates James' HUGE family very nicely!

Keep in mind that my youngest child was extremly sick in all of these pics....but he was a good boy and played along with all my wild and crazy antics. Also.....please, please, please don't think I am the worlds worst parent for not having any clothes on my child or having him outside in the condition that he was in. We BOTH needed a break. He was so sick of having medicine crammed down him everytime he turned around and me.....well I was just sick of doing laundry after all the puke and poop! So despite all of the sickness....we had an awesome time!




(On a sad note....we got home only to find out that James' sister Asha got in a really bad wreck and was life flighted to Pocatello. So if you wouldn't mind keeping her in your prayers that would be great! Thanks!!!!!)

You know it's going to be a long day.......

When you see this.........
















Actually it is turning out to be a verrrrry loooong going on five days now. I have been puked on....pooped on...and sleep deprived like nobody's business!!! Hopefully we have made it over the hump, but I will sure be glad when he is his sweet happy playful self!

You know your a redneck.......

(NOTICE THE ORANGE BAILING TWINE)

I just thought I would give you a little glimpse into my life. This is how we roll here and we aren't ashamed of it. I am sure our neighbors have uttered a few explicitives our way, and I am sure when they saw us coming their immediate thought was, " Well there goes the neighborhood!"

Do any of you do anything redneck or are we the only ones? Let me know!
