Me in the Mountains - and I didn't get hurt

This just goes to show how much I LOVE my Carlson friends!!  I wouldn't go get firewood for anyone else.  And it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Except for the fact that I ripped a big hole in Rays shirt that I was wearing and another hole in my 1980's sweat pants.  Maybe it is time to retire those pants, who am I kidding, you can't find a good pair of sweats with elastic at the bottom of the legs anymore, I am keeping them.



Here are the chain (saw) gang.  This is pretty much the only picture I took of them, aren't they cute?

Tyler even came with us to help and I must say he was pretty helpful.

This is the most we saw of the girls, escpecially Jerika.  She stayed in the pickup and texted and listened to her ipod.  The only way she would go was if there was cell service.  Kinlee was a big helper though and she didn't complain very much at all, even though it was a very long day.

This was the day after Ray's grandpa died and it was really nice to spend the day as a family with our friends in the great outdoors.  I think it was good for Ray to get away for the day too.  Thanks Carlsons for letting us help!!  We love you guys!

Our Grandpa "GEORGE"


This is Grandpa "George" Walker and our Granny

Grandpa, Gail Walker passed away on Friday, October 15th in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He is Ray's mom's dad and he was Ray's dad too. He was the only father figure that Ray really had in his life. He called all of our kids George since they were little, especially Tyler and so our kids have called him Grandpa George since they were little. We are thankful that he was able to pass quickly, they believe it was a massive heart attack. This picture was taken just a little over a month ago. We were lucky to spend time with them whenever we could. I (Janel) was lucky enough to be at the hospital right after he passed away and the peace there was amazing!! We all know that he ran straight into the arms of his son, Kail, patiently waiting for him on the other side. WE LOVE YOU GRANDPA GEORGE and we will miss you!!
