Answers to Quizz

1 Who's not ornery - but sensistive? That's Lily but shows the mind of a very creative thinker/ debater / future lawyer / criminal thinking up her defense.

2. Who loves Nanny and Poppy more than themselves...yes of course Brooklyn. She will be writing romance novels in the future.

3. The kitchen is who's enemy? Melanie...but Melissa's reputation is equal...but will be doing an about face (see her blog)

4. Who doesn't know how to be happy? Lily..... again, a great argue-er...or just ready for therapy. Andy objected to anyone thinking it was him.....and next Dec when his best friend returns, he will appear happy once again....my thought.

5. Mya is definitely FRAZY! and loves to tell you.

6. Who loves to be RIGHT and argue that he is ....and is proud of all his knowledge?...that would be the highly intelligent Adam...oops nope, it's Nash....who will need to gospel in his life to learn humility. I think I helped create a monster by always telling him how smart he is.

7. Who had "their best day ever" ...surprised you didn't get that one Nik...it was Paige...every day is her best day, the happy little thing!....maybe she and Lily ought to get together more.

8. Who's the cheater who didn't like be ratted out??? Tyson of course. 

So many of you assumed it was me.....this is because of the smear campaign dad has perpetuated for years ("I'm just teasing you")...but is finally backing off and defending his wife which he should have done years ago......we are all innocent till proven guilty...maybe the rest of us are BETTER cheaters...hmmm......sorry Ty....plus you were caught way back when in killer Uno ...I think cheating is a Leishman family thing...so he saith... and is a badge on honour. You get a badge from a us too, a big scarlett C....But you got us a great cabin, love our daughter, produced a couple cute kids, are kind and considerate (outside of card games)....oh.....there's the still living in Idaho thing...sorry Ty you are back to zero now.  I think I hear a protest coming. It will start with "Miss Lorna.....?"

Our "frazy" granddaughter Mya

Can you say "IDAHO is DRY!"?

Pre Christmas at the Nashs

After a multi-day cross country drive dodging snowstorms, we arrived at Melissa and Trents to spend a few days before Christmas. We then drove to Nikki and Adams for Christmas and then on to Rexburg where everyone congregated to go up to the Teton cabin.

Log Cabin holiday in the Tetons

Through the eyes of a child...(Lily Nash)



and Paige Tait

Everyone had a great time at this log cabin that Tyson arranged for us....I however was sick. I guess the cross country road trip, junk food, lack of exercise and time changes weren't good for me. Go figure. Despite feeling lousy, I did enjoy being with everyone. The highlights were: snowmobiling through the woods to the property....the late night games.....dad finally admitted I don't cheat (can't say the same for Tyson not cheating...ahem) ....watching Melissa actually cook and cleanup....watching the grandkids have a blast in the snow ...watching Brooklyn be the fearless leader of all the other grandkids, rehearsing for the New Year's Eve grandkid talent show upstairs every day!!...eating Dad's fab turkey in the new rotisserie, yum....seeing Melanie attempt to hide, with intent to kidnap, baby Ruby as the Nashs packed up to go....watching Nikki clean up the kitchen (as usual)...watching Melanie not clean up (as usual) ....trying to figure out where Mya was getting all the jelly beans she was always eating (under a bunk bed in a room where Trent found a mouse nest!) .... hearing Trent when he found the mice nest....watching Ratatouille about 10 times and never hearing a word of it....seeing the gleaming looks in the kids eyes and frosty faces when they came in from tubing and hearing them tell the stories of their great adventures...and just watching everyone have a good time together, that was heaven for me.

Oh...since Melissa was kind enough to include the "funny" photo of me in her blog about the "cute" prank she played on me, I took special pains to edit out the disfiguring scars that she has on her face on the photo I included of her...I also edited out the under eye bags and zits and lazy eye...wasn't that nice of me? I think I did an amazing job. She looks almost normal.
