Good Morning,
Mom and I finished our travels into Arizona and Nevada. We had a great time, and didn't have any break downs while we traveled somewhere between 5 to 6 hundred miles on dirt roads. Here are the links to the pictures that we took on our travels.

Merry Just Before Christmas
Hi Family,
I think this is called panic week. Normally the week we take off for our anniversary leaves me rested and relaxed and ready for the Holidays. This one didn't work out quite that way. For those of you who haven't heard I decided to test my gymnastic skills and did the splits (Yes, I did manage to get all the way down) Only problem I couldn't get back up, "old" muscles don't stretch they tear and now I am hopping along like Festus on Gun Smoke. Which means I am moving very slow and it's hard to panic in slow motion.
I'm looking forward to seeing each of you over the next couple of weeks. Its soooooooo strange to have the family spread out all over. I keep telling Dad we need to retired and hit the road. We could start in Wendover, head to Phoenix, come north throught Moab and then west to Colorado Springs the head home. We could spend a day or two with each of you, rest up and do chores at home and then start over.

Merry Christmas!
Good Morning All!
Thanks Melissa, you said exactly what I was thinking. I didn't want to look like I was totally trying to hog the blog! Hey, I'm a poet and I didn't even know it! Melissa - I sent you the link for the pictures - maybe I have your e-mail wrong? Will you let me know what it is? You can send it to either of my e-mail addresses - ecartermjg@yahoo.com or wnecarter@peppermillcas.com.
Rick, Mom and Brenda drew names a while ago. For brother and sisters, you and Kassie have Dad and Melissa and for the cousins you and Kassie have Josh and Brenda.
Now, for the really exciting news! Ryker has the chicken pox. This is not really exciting, since I took way too much time off of work last week due to Santa's Secret Shop (PTO crap) and then Weight Watchers Leadership training at the end of the week. Jerrick has already had the flu this week and Gunnar has had a cold sore on the back of his mouth. It's not exactly been my week! I guess it all comes in threes (right?) - hopefully this is the end! The worst of all of this is that Ryker has had the shot. So much for vaccines!
We are excited for the family Christmas party but I'm a little worried that Ryker might still be contagious. Brooke - have your girls had the chicken pox or the shot? Does anyone have Heather's e-mail address? I think Lily is the only one that would be at that critical age?
Hope all is well with all of you! Have a great day!
Emily

Mountain Lion Facts
Don,
Mountain lions can get to be 180 pounds but the average is about 130 pounds. They usually live anywhere from 8 to 12 years. They can eat a deer a week, they figure there are about 2,000 mountain lions in Nevada. You can get two tags a year - but they usually only fill 150 tags a year in the state of Nevada. 150 pound cat in Nevada is a very large size - the length at 7 feet 3 inches was above average. The average length is 6 feet 10 inches. How they measure cats is by measuring the width and length of the skull. 15 inches is Boone and Crocket and anything above 14 is eligible for the Nevada hunt book. My cat should be just over 14 inches, but probably won't be 15.
I plan on putting the lion in the living room downstairs on a pedastool where I can worship it on Sundays!

Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty
Hey Jared,
Wow, what a cat! For most of us that don't know how big the lions get, fill us in on how big they get. Where are you going to put the lion in your house? How many cats are you allowed each year? Oh, the cat looks better than any old fish you can mount and hang on your wall.
