Not really much to blog about, but I do have some feelings about January. First of all, we had a great December getting Jessica home, visiting family up north and having a great Christmas with them. Unfortunately, it's downhill from there. JANUARY!! You know I really hated January all of my adult life for assorted reasons. The biggest reason was how cold it usually was and the snow I had to deal with. Well, I can't complain so much about that now can I. The next reason was the inversions that usually set in while working in Salt Lake that made the depression even worse. Well, I can mark that off my list also. But, the biggest reason I didn't care for January is that I had to realize I was another year older. As a kid it wasn't too fun having a January birthday because no one really wanted to buy presents so soon after Christmas or celebrate so soon after New Years.
So, now that we've moved to Hurricane, I've pretty well taken are of the first two reasons I hated January. Any suggestions or remedies for the third? Let me know.
By the way, I'm working hard at learning how to work out with the Wii Fit. Haven't had this many sore muscles for ages, but I'm enjoying it (except for some of the Yoga poses, no one should be able to do THAT)! And what's with the shape of the Mii it created for me! So rude.
Happy last week of January. Looking forward to seeing Brandon, Sara, and Roxie in a couple of weeks and meeting our soon to be born baby girl Shields tomorrow or soon thereafter we hope, don't we Lesli? Well at least that baby girl will help to make me like January better.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
Our Christmas was great spending time with our family. We had everyone together again except Brandon, Sara & Roxie. We sure missed you guys. The snow up north made Randy and I even more grateful that we made the move to Dixie last year. That driving on icy roads is for the birds. I don't know how I made that commute to SL everyday for so many years in that stuff. It was fun to see a white Christmas, but not so fun to drive the roads on the white stuff.
We had great fun getting to know the grandkids again and spending time with them. Grandma even tried out the Wii sports (tennis) and Wii Fit (just loved that pudgy little person it pictured for me) which convinced me we should have one. Not so lucky yet in finding one to buy because everyone is sold out, but I will have one soon. That means that maybe Grandma Steve will have something around the house to entertain the grandkids when they come to visit (hint, hint).
The New Year came in pretty quiet this year, but we look forward to another great year for all our family. Jessica is going a little stir crazy being in Hurricane and "away from the action", so she will be heading north soon. I promise to get some pictures up from our visits up north soon, maybe even today.
