New Year 2009 Trip

We had a great time in Wisconsin for the New Year.  Jeremie went on the snow machines with "The Boys" while Julie stayed inside with the ladies and stayed warm.  What a great way to bring in the new year!!!

Lighting Hobey's birthday fireworks in the Howard's drive way.

Nigel Celebrates New Year in Minocqua

I had never seen snow before -- quite an experience!  Even in Utah at Thanksgiving it didn't snow!  Minocqua was FREEZING - I think it might have been 9 degrees in this picture.  Brrr. 

Hobey got fireworks from Leslie and Matt for his birthday.  Mr. Howard got some for him too.  They were nice enough to let me pose by them before he went and blew them up outside....by all the cars.

 There was a flying squirrel in Hobey & Carol's house above their bed making himself at home!  I would not allow that, so I went up there and trapped him.

Thanks for the fun time!

Extreme Home Makeover Visit

Julie donated popcorn to the crew and volunteers that helped with the ABC's show Extreme Makeover - Home Edition.  They were actually building a new house a couple minutes from where we live!  This episode is airing Feb 15th on ABC 7:00 central.

Chelsea & Julie at the new home site with our VIP passes and everything. It was neat to be in the 'VIP' section of a show!!
