ICE OR NOT

Just to answer the question, YES we actually DO drive on the ice. its kinda weird, you can see through it and see the water, its a feeling you have to get used to. its cool though. :)

Snowmachining on the lake

Here are some pics of the kids snowmachining. We did family home evening with the Meyers, and the activity was snowmachining. The kids had tons of fun of course. They have enough machines for everyone to drive thier own.
The lesson was on the sermon on the mount. It was really, really good. It reminds me of the saying "all i need to know, i learned in kindergarten." except it should be ALL I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED ON THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT. It really does tell you everything we need to know to live right. Anywho.... I better go for now, just remember.... choose the right way, and be happy. love ya, mean it. The Rue's

Over the River and thru the woods to grandmothers house we go....

We actually go over a river almost 2 miles long then through the woods for another mile to grandmothers house. How many poeple can say that. This is Lake Longmere. It is a float plane lake, thus the planes in the backgound.

Here is dave and emma's first experience with a "moose kill" road kill that is. the story is when someone hits a moose the troopers call different churches on the list to come get if off the road and they get to keep the meat. We then give the meat to the poor. Well dave and emma's grandpa got the call to "take care" of the moose.

WELL, WE MADE IT, I HAVE WORKED AT MY NEW JOB FOR 2 WEEKS. THE KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL AND LIKE IT. I FINALLY FOUND MY WAY HOME. WE GET TO DRIVE ACROSS LONGMERE LAKE EVERYDAY TO GET HOME, AND THEN THROUGH THE FOREST ROADS TO FIND THE HOUSE. LUCKILY I HAVE HAD DAVE TO HELP ME. HE KNOWS THE ROADS. BUT I AM HAPPY TO SAY IT ONLY TOOK A LITTLE OVER A WEEK TO FIND MY WAY BY MY SELF.
THE OTHER DAY WE WERE DRIVING HOME AND A FLOAT PLANE FLEW RIGHT OVER OUR HEADS AND LANDED RIGHT BEHIND US ON THE LAKE... IT WAS SO COOL. AND WE SEE MOOSE EVERY DAY. LUCKILY WE HAVE JUST SEEN THEM AND NOT HIT THEM WITH THE CAR.... THE KIDS GO OUT SIDE TO SLED EVERY DAY AND CAN'T GET ENOUGH SNOW. BUT ME..... WELL I CAN'T GET ENOUGH WARMTH! IM FREEZING. IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO ADJUST. DAD IS GOOD TO ROAST THE HOUSE OUT WITH THE WOOD BURNING STOVE TO KEEP ME WARM! THANKS DAD! :) I KNOW IT SWEATS EVERYONE ELSE. ONCE DAVE FIGURED OUT YOU DONT "PLUG IN THE STOVE TO START IT" HE HAS BEEN HAULING WOOD UP THE LITTLE HILL AND STAYING HOT ON DADS HEELS TO LEARN HOW TO START FIRES. ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO SAY HE'S IS NOT PERFECT YET, SINCE DAD WENT TO UTAH, WE HAVE YET TO KEEP A FIRE BURNING MORE THAN 15 MINUTES! BUT HE IS MY ONLY HOPE, I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO IT.
