Abbey and the "So You Think You Dance" Stars

If you are a "So You Think You Can Dance" fan (like our family) then you will know Joshua. He was last years winner. Abbey got to go to a dance workshop over Christmas. Joshua, Will and Chelsea from the show taught the classes. They were amazing. I wished I had signed myself up :) ! Abbey had a great time and learned a lot. Joshua and Abbey

Trip to San Antonio

John and I got to go to San Antonio for four days. We went for the National Farm Bureau Convention because we were the YF&R Achievement Award winners. We were lucky to have Kari and AJ Kelsey stay the the kids while we were gone. I think they survived and the kids had a blast with them.
We enjoyed walking the famous River Walk and even took an informational boat tour. Texas is packed with wonderful restaruants...we enjoyed many!!! We had a chance to visit the Alamo. One day we ran over to the mall for a quick lunch between discussion meets. In walks Dwight Howard and another Orlando Magic baketball player. The Magic were playing the Spurs that night. After getting his food at Dairy Queen, he came and sat by us. I asked him if he would be in a picture with me. He was kind enough to say yes. He was very nice. Johon and I had a great time (as fun as you can sitting through farm meetings). Me and St. Antonio down on the River Walk.

Everything is bigger in Texas!! Check out my chicken salad!

Remember the Alamo?





Beautiful waterfalls all down the River Walk.

A White Merry Christmas!

After opening gifts and eating breakfast, we all went up to the dairy with John. We feed some of the registered calves and played in the snow. The kids had so much fun. I love having a white christmas!!! Hilary
