what happens to my blog ??????? Time Time Time

Well here we are just before Christmas and life is just slipping by. Kade has been out for almost 14 months and the rest of the time will just seem like a breeze when he finally does get home. We now have the house pretty much back together it sure looks a lot better than it did. Steve and Cassie are doing great and their kids are all healthy. Steve really works hard and is a great dad. His kids always get excited when he gets home. They also get excited when they get to visit with Janet and I. I just love to be around them. Des and Stevie both had piano recitals on 19 Dec it was good to be able to be with them. Ryan and Shanna are doing well yes they still live with us and it sure is fun most of the time. Ryan only has 1 more semester then he will have has masters then in the fall he will go back and go for the almighty PHD. Good luck Ryan. Shanna works at home and tries to manage with 3 small kids always running around. She has a lot of patience. Dallin, Saedy and Aleana are doing great, all healthy and being spoiled each day mostly by Grandma, HAHAHA never by me. Scott and Kayce are doing well with school and both are working, such busy life's. We sure enjoy them when they have a chance to come visit. They both did real well with finals and school in general. Nicole is working at a credit union and she just keeps doing well and advancing up the work ladder. She is still engaged to Ben and he is such a work alcoholic some times we don't get to see him for a week or so. We really look forward to this spring when he will be joining the family permanently. When the summer comes and all weddings are over Kade will be the only unmarried Brickey. He thinks this is quite a accomplishment. He doesn't think any one will out last Scott's record for being single though. We look forward to CHRISTMAS and wish you all a Merry Christmas yes I said Christmas as it is quite upsetting when everyone says happy holidays when it is a celebration of our Savior's birth. I pray we can all remember our lord and what he did for us!!!!!! I love you all.


GRANDPA BILL

Novembers Here

Well the last month has been great as the deer hunt came and of course the second weekend we only got to shoot at one. Saturday Matt and I got up and we went all over quite a bit of driving in the truck as on friday Matt, Ty, Sammie and I went back to Low pass and hiked for about 10 miles according to the GPS and we saw a few deer but mostly saw Elk. We then went fishing for a while and Sammie was the only one to catch any. Matt told her she was done fishing with him as when he gets skunked and someone else catches fish he claims they can't fish with him ant more. Such a story teller. We had a great time. Ty and Sammie left Saturday so Ty could get back to work. Matt and I went for a drive and seen a big bull moose such a awesome sight. We didn't really see anything else until just before dark and we were down in the low foot hills just west of Walkers cabin. We seen a nice buck but I could not hit it I geuss it was not my year to get a deer. We then went back to the cabin and cleaned up so we could just get up on Sunday and hunt for a little while and then head home. We got home about 3pm and we sure enjoyed another year of deer hunting. This last week the tile got layed in the kitchen and entry way, this next week the wood floor goes in and then the baseboard and crown molding then we hope no more house disassembly for a while. The grandkids are tired of the mess. Work is a little slow but at least there is work. So many are being laid off I fell blessed. Kade is doing well and is now on the down hill slide to come home in less than a year. Today all my grandkids were here and even though it gats a little noisy in the house it is always good to be with them. Scott and Kayce came down and we got to spend some time with them. They both have school and work so they are keeping real busy. It was great to see them.
