Winter Blahs are gone!

Hello Everybody! We're coming out of the holidays and recuping in fun ways. We have loved our new Wii and I requested a Wii Fit to go along with it. I've been doing Aerobics, Yoga, Strength Training, and balance games. The Wii Fit gets my vote for best invention that entertains. I can actually stand to exercise now! It makes getting through January blahless!

We're head over heels on a den renovation. We may as well work hard inside during the cold months. Can't wait for you all to see it!

Christmas 2008

Five generations! We had Krystal and Austin and Grandpa Jack along with Grandma Georgie all here at Christmas. Great opportunity for a five-generation photo!

We had a surprise visitor at our family Christmas party. What a great son-in-law J.J. is! He's a jolly, good guy all year long, but he looks especially stunning in this photo.

He's enchanted Brenna and Rachel (our two cute granddaughters) with a candy cane and visit!

Look at what our friends/neighbors, the Hovorkas, made for us! It is acutally our house! What talent they have! We'll preserve it as long as we can. Thank you, Hovorkas!

What a memorable, amazing Christmas we had with our whole gang home for Christmas!

Happy Holidays To All Of You!

We are looking forward to having all our children and grandchildren with us this Christmas!
Check in right after Christmas day with photo updates! To you--our family and friends, we wish you all the best this holiday season! We love you all!

UEA in Logan and Idaho

For UEA we had a good time visiting Krystal and Austin and Rachel in Idaho Falls. We played frisbee golf, and hiked to Crestcreek. It was beautiful! We stopped off in Logan and spent a night with Brandon and Mandee and Brenna and went to a corn maze and spookey barn ride! It was a joy to see our cute family and grandbabies! Stephanie just got a new job at the local movie theatre. She was scheduled to work all UEA! We missed her!

Monson Family Reunion

Monson's gathered at Lagoon on July 17th for Aggie Alumni Day and free Aggie ice cream. We

have a few Aggie Alumni

in our family.

Here's the first amusement park rides for our grandbabies on the Carousel. Whee!

Below is the Monson's at the Wild Kingdom Train Ride.

Brenna and Rachel at grandma's house. We

celebrated Rachel's first birthday a week

early for the Monson side.

Five Generations!

Our mother's Day celebration included pictures of five generations. Pictured above from left to right is (the proud grandmother of Brenna Marie) Leslie Monson, great-great-grandfather of Brenna--Jack Larson (age 98), Brandon Monson holding his daughter, Brenna Marie Monson, and Sandra Anderson (great grandmother of Brenna). What a mother's day treat to have them all here at our home for dinner and pics!

Grandma Georgie and Leslie in Canyonlands

Canyonlands is definately worth seeing. We're overlooking Upheaval Dome behind and below us. It's a wonder and mystery how it got there. This was our two-day jaunt to Moab. We met up with Austin and Krystal & Rachel our first day in Arches. Pics of Arches are forthcoming.
