Hike #2

 
 
 
 

We are so very fortunate to live in this great northwest where there's beauty to be had right out your backdoor. We're also very fortunate to have a son who always wants to be moving about and wants US to too!!! Here we are on our second hike, this time Maddy, Cocoa & Ducati joined us! Bet you wish you were with us don't you?

Burbidge/Newell Hiking club

 
 
 
 

Today was our first official hike of our newly formed hiking club. We are going to hike somewhere once a month and anyone can join us that wants to.
We hiked up Mt. Eleanor until we got to the snow line. (a good hour) It was fun and some of us realized how out of shape we've gotten!!!
Our next hike date will be Feb. 13th
Fri. January 29th we're going to have a potluck/planning/game night to plan it.
We all had a great time. Some of the highlights were: Devlen loved the hike and kept well up to the front, he even broke out into a run sometimes, Flat Stanley (a friend on loan from Wilson) came along, & every once in a while the sun would break through the clouds and we could see how very high up we were and the beautiful lake Cushman below.
Great fun, more to come!!!!

Today Baylee Ellen Burbidge turns 5

 

Here's a few of the pictures we have of her.
She is a fun loving, fast talking & even faster thinking, little firecracker of a girl. We sure love having her in our family.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAYLEE ELLEN!!!

THANKSGIVING

We have so much to be Thankful for, and we had an amazing Thanksgiving!! Thanks to Eldon, Candy, the 3 D's and Neil & Maddie coming to celebrate, our Holiday was very fun and filled with lots of deliciousness!!!!

Yes, you're seeing it right, Jesse made the pies!! I am NOT a pie maker and Jess & Arlin both LOVE pies (I think thanks to Gramma Norma & her wonderful pies) so Jess decided to take on the job :) While he was staying with Gordon & Sarah she taught him some important hints on making a good pie crust.

Devlen shared his Wii and everyone, even Arlo took a turn having fun with it.

Cute daddy/daughter!!
Neil supplied us with drink! Egg Nog (he even brought sprite if you wanted it mixed) and Martinellis.

Very CUTE couple!!!
Candy brought some great food. The two things that REALLY stand out are the breakfst caserole she made ~yummy AND mostly the mounds balls!!! Oh man I couldn't get enough!

US!

Oh, and one more thing. What made it really fun is E & C came down wednesday night and stayed the night with us!!! Thank you guys......we loved it!!!
