Nick

No much else to say. Just NICK. I believe he took this of himself. He seems to do that often!!

Alane's CLEAN Camera

Christmas 2006 I got an awesome camera. It was a Canon SD630. Loved it! It could go with me everywhere and could even shoot video. It was nice and small and would just fit in my pocket. It was missing for quite a few days and didn't know where I had left it. One day Greg grabbed a load of clothes and put them in the washer. Then of course the dryer. I was on the computer and he came to ask me if I knew where my camera was. He said he found it cause he heard it going round and round in the dryer! The dryer! Which meant that it had gone through the complete washer cycle! I couldn't believe it. Apparently I had it in the pocket of my pants!! Crap! We hurried and took it apart hoping that we could dry it out. Nothing worked. I basically stuck it in a box for about 5 months. Then I decided to get it out and just see. Just see if it would actually work. Well, it did. Really the only thing wrong with it was the battery didn't last very long, but I had a backup one, so no big deal. Seriously, I couldn't believe that it worked! The video, the flash, everything. So, I guess that is a lesson of patience that I had to learn. Not an easy one, but worth it!!

Easter 2008

I can't believe Easter had come and gone. It seems just like we had all of that snow and couldn't get out of the neighborhood! Here is a picture of the kids...they are growing so fast, I really can't keep up with them at all! Also, we went to Greg's mom's house Easter weekend, and she had made this very very cute relish tray in the shape of a rabbit! The kids really loved that! Just so happy that spring is here!!! Alane and the 2 mom's wore the same color of shirt. Weird! They didn't even plan it!

Greg - San Francisco

Greg went to San Francisco beginning of March for Moses Ferney's baby blessing. (He is the first of Paul and Jordan) Greg went with Katrina and his mom and dad. I think it was a great weekend getaway for all of them! Of course we at home missed them all tons!!

Alane's cell phone saga

So, sometimes bad luck just happens. This is my pink phone, or should I say "was" my pink phone. Loved my razor, but it just didn't seem to like me!!! The summer of '07, I was pushed into my pool by a "friend" and my phone was in my pocket. Needless to say, I was a little freaked cause I had my calendar and EVERYTHING in my phone. We hurried and tried to open it up and get it to dry. A few days went by, and no luck. So, I found a NEW phone on ebay...the exact same one. When it came I was so happy! My life that I always carried with me was back! A couple weeks went by and I was helping a friend do some painting. Yes. Painting. Well, I had on an old pair of scrubs, with my NEW pink phone in the shirt pocket. I AM an idiot! I was bending over to load my roller with paint.......yes, you guessed it! Phone fell right into the pan of pink paint. (yes, of course pink...but that really didn't save my phone right then!) In a matter of micro-seconds, it was almost completely buried in paint. I grabbed it so fast and started wiping it with my shirt. One of my best friends was there, and she was in complete shock. She knew my luck and all she could do was point and laugh. I almost had to slap her across the face to help me! She snapped out of it and we hurried and tried to take the phone apart and wipe paint off....inside and out. Well....needless to say, the paint phone actually worked after a few days...and lasted a few months. So, for fun I tried the "pool" phone, and it was working by then cause it had been like 6 months since the swim. It still works, but my job bought me a blackberry. I have only dropped it once! I am so freaking careful. So far...so good with it. No water or paint! And that's my story!

Fixing the Van

Stupid car problems!! Greg is learning more things than I think he bargained for!! The van has had a leak in the gas tank (as seen on the ground next to the van) and the fuel pump went out AND it was leaking anti-freeze. Here he is in the driveway, working on all those things. He had to siphon gas out of this tank into another car! So, once this one is running....he will move onto the next leaking vehicle! What a pain!!

Ben's Valentine's Box

For Ben's 6th grade Valentine's party, they had a contest for making Valentine's boxes for Valentine's to go in. Ben wanted a space shuttle, because a few weeks ago he went to Astrocamp in Ogden, and was the commander that was to land the space shuttle. Anyway, Greg and Ben had a lot of fun making this out of a Kleenex box!! Happy Valentine's day!! (I guess he didn't win anything in the contest, because there were a lot of other space shuttle boxes!)

Nick in his free time

Ben got a video camera for Christmas that hooks

up to the computer. Nick of course got a hold of it,

and likes to make videos. This just really shows

his silliness and personality!!!

It just keeps snowing!!!

This is from the corner to our house.....holy cow! The snow just keeps getting deeper. Will winter ever end? This is our tunnel as you walk out the front door!!! This is the North Ogden Divide. The road on the mountain that takes you to the valley. Well, you can't even really read the road closed sign. Someone did somehow get their 4X4 up there! These are the icicles at our church. There have been a lot of large ones hanging from houses all over here. This is our neighbor's mailbox around the corner. Poor mail carriers. Not a job I would want to have right now.

Check out the SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe all the snow we got today! It was amazing! Today it was recorded that North Ogden got 20" of snow. I believe it! We got that much just at our house!!!! So fun! The kids had so much fun playing in it for sure. I had fun driving and sliding in it!!!!!! I love living on the mountain! This is Greg snowblowing. Behind him is the truck.... Snowplow going by. The snow keeps falling. This is Nick. He made a cave on the side of the sidewalk into the snow. Anywhere you turn, you can dig a tunnel or make a cave! The kids are loving it!! Icicles in front of our house. Megan in a tunnel of snow. Our back deck with the snow that fell in less than 24 hours. It used to be a trampoline and picnic table. Kind of looks like a pot pie or something!! The van with the snow. It was so funny watching Greg drive it around with that snow just sitting there!! One spin around the neighborhood and I had all the snow cleaned off the top of the van! The trees in our front yard.

Crazy at Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Greg & Alane Ferney Family

Yeah! We are getting on the "blog" wagon. I don't do so well at the scrapbooking thing, so this is going to be our family history scrapbook!!!!

Cruise vs Kidney Stone

Well, we were supposed to leave to California on October 28, 2007, to meet our Royal Caribbean cruise ship. A cruise that we have had planned for months to go with Greg's sister Mindy and husband Ryan. But instead, the day before, Greg gets his 3rd bout with a kidney stone this year. However, this one was 7mm. Too big to pass, and too painful to keep around. So on October 31 (yes, happy Halloween) he had it blasted with a lazer! Needless to say, the only cruise we really got to go on was to the hospital. But, Greg is feeling much better now! But Mindy, Ryan and Greg's dad all got to enjoy "my cruise!" This a picture I found of a kidney stone that was 8mm. The one Greg had blasted was 7mm.

Photos Alane took for fun!
