86th

Celebrating the 144th anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike and Grandma Emmett's 86th birthday at Maddox

Greyson Palmer

Born via C-section at 7:20ish a.m., March 25, 2013.  19.5 inches long and 7.1 pounds.  Blood sugar was a bit low after expending all those carbs trying to get into position so he's in NICU but otherwise doing fine.  Mom and Dad are also well.  Congratulations to Adrienne and Nick on Greyson's arrival.

Kitzbühel, Austria

Kitzbühel, Austria (I might have photo bombed my German colleague's panorama)

Octal, Yup, count 'em. 8 bodies unloading

 

Volcano Pants first visit to Austria

Kitzbuhel is a big ski area

 Hahnenkamm final section. Can't imagine hitting this at 80 mph on solid ice with rubber legs

Happy Birthday Max!

Max at his game on Saturday.  His team won by TWO points, they are still undefeated.  They played an all girls team who really gave them a run for their money.  Notice in one of the pictures that Max (the shortest on the team) is paired up with an opposing player (one of the tallest on her team) but that doesn't stop him from breaking away!

(side note: some of the pictures are from last week's game where he is in white)

Elle has her sucker for most of the game and then decides she might like the already been chewed gum under the bleachers. 

Jack watching Max and counting down the years until he gets to play. 

Savannah watching intently...

....and then being entertained by cousin Merrick's cheeks!

After the game it was dinner at Olive Garden and then back home for presents, cake, and ice cream!  Max was very generous with his presents, letting his younger brother and cousin help him open them...and then play with them.  

Elle must have not gotten her way. 

Savannah really wants to join in on all the fun!

And the birthday night would not be complete without a cake to the face.  A new Falslev birthday tradition! 

Happy 7th Birthday Max!

Twin Pines Christmas

Halloween Grandkids in Smithfield

This past week we've been visited by a variety of cute animals, dashing superheroes, as well as Slash, a hunter, and a boxer. 

 



Missed having Merrick, Elle, and Henry stopping by, but judging from posts elsewhere, Halloween was a great success in Twin Falls and Santa Barbara as well.

Sorry.  All the cookies are gone.
