The New Snuggie...

If your stumped and don't know what to get for Valentines day...here's the new hottest present...the HUG E GRAM! Adam is going to LOVE his!

Christmas 2009

Christmas this year was a lot of fun. The past two Christmas's that we've been married, we didnt' really do a very good job keeping our presents to each other a secret. The first year we would go shopping and pretty much picked out our own presents, and knew everything we were getting. Last year, we opened all of our presents before Christmas for some reason, and ended up getting snowed in Rexburg, so we didn't have anything to open on Christmas day. So this year we did it right, neither of us knew anything we were getting, so it was really fun being anxious seeing the presents under the tree actually not knowing what they were. And I must say, Adam is very good at present shopping. We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house, had dinner and watched Joy to the World, and read in the scriptures the Nativity story. Christmas morning we spent it at our house, opened presents, had milkshakes, and played with our new toys. And then went back to my parents house to celebrate the rest of the day. We had a really good time with everyone here, although we did however miss Mary, Stacy, Heather and the Gooch family. My parents got a Wii this year, so everyone had a lot of fun with that. It's a tradition that every year we go to the church, and we usually play basketball which the boys love, but this year we changed it up a little and played volleyball. It was SO much fun! All of the girls loved it! And the boys were good sports about it, but I think they really like it too. We had a good time, we ate a ton of junk food, probably gained like ten pounds, played lots of games, and enjoyed everyone's company. It was a good Christmas.

Playing Wii...an intense racing game

I think this was one of the only pictures of us together on Christmas, of course my eyes had to be shut

My Grandpa kept asking me and Melanie what we were getting him for Christmas, so we decided to get him a snuggie, because they are hillarious, and made him try it on for us, he absolutely LOVED it

Playing in the snow, marking our territory

We got Grandpa to bowl on the Wii, he he actually did really well, he got the top score on his first game, he just loved it, so here's for all of you who didn't think Grandpa would play a video game, it's sideways, sorry I don't know how to change it

What Christmas is all About

Well Hello and Merry Christmas to everyone, including the people that I don't care about...I guess Merry Christmas to you. This is a blessed time of year, where people get together, unwrap presents, drink and sometimes unwrap eachother.

I wanted to send out this post before Christmas because we are not sending out Christmas cards. This is it...so you better freakin enjoy it!

This video describes why Christmas is cancelled...






That video is based on a true story you know. This next clip is from the greatest Christmas movie of all time and will forever put me in a good mood. So all you Scrooges and hairy green Grinch's out there enjoy this...




This last video wraps up our year end letter...




I would like to end with a scripture mentioning Santa and his great charm.
Revelation 8:13 "And I beheld, and heard Santa (an Angel) flying through the midst of heaven (Idaho), saying with a loud voice, Hoe, Hoe, Hoe, to the inhabiters of the earth (farmers) by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels (Adam, Michelle and interviewing for one more), which are yet to sound!"

There you have it Merry Christmas!!!!!

Thanksgiving 2009

This year was a fun Thanksgiving. We did our huge Fennell family Thanksgiving out at the Poteets. It's a little different now with everyone grown up and going their seperate ways. So out of like 7 or 8 of us that are about the same age...there were two of us left. So we missed everyone else who wasn't able to make it this year! But it was still a good time, good food, shot gun shooting, maybe two plays in football, a little basketball and Christmas lights up on the square. Adam was a little disappointed because he has grown up playing a turkey bowl everything Thanksgiving, but we don't do that here in Rupert, so that might have to be something we pick up.

Stunning picture of us both...we know

Sugar Beet for Halloween

For this Halloween we decided to unload trucks and trucks filled with Beets. We actually did this for the entire month of October. It was the best time of my life...I decided I want to be a big sugar beet when I grow up. We started at about 7 am work until about 10 at night. Standing all day in the cold while Michelle was in a heated shack with chairs; greatest time of my life. It was good money though so I can't complain. Well enough said...just take a look at how fun this was.

This is the crew that ran the piler. Adam-operator, Aaron-platform worker, Michelle-Tear Shack boss, Melanie-Tear Shacker helper

Michelle hard at work...

Adam hard at work...

Adam with his co-worker. Talk about a lot of beets huh?

Michelle with her little baby sister.

This is the end of one of our piles we made. We made two of these, probably about 300 yards long too!

Well that is it. Now you know what some of the harvest is all about.
