Getting Caught Up on 2007

I know that it's way into 2008, but I neglected to put some information on 2007 online for the viewing public.

So here goes.

Vacation 2007 - Galtinburg TN

Below the kids stand outside an Indian dwelling on an Indian Reservation we visited while in Tennessee.

Here's Emma holding a gourd at the Indian Reservation.

And here's Katie with some gourds, too.

Below we hike on the rocks just across from our cabin.

Here's the whole clan standing outside the Apple Barn restaurant for a family portrait.

World Premiere: Monster on the Mountain

Shot just last week -- edited today. Budget in the tens of dollars. All the greatest stars and a world renowned producer, writer and director.

It's the premiere of "Monster on the Mountain" -- shot on location in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.

A must see for everyone.

Interesting Visitor

We kept hearing little noises in the attic. We borrowed Uncle Brad's live trap and it set for nearly a week until we caught the interloper.

This is a souther flying squirrel. Kim and the girls found him to be irresistibly cute. Kim wanted to keep him, but cooler heads prevailed.

Big Snow

In March, we got hit by about 18 inches of snow. Of course that much snow means no school and more fun in the snow.



Kate helped shovel and made a wonderful snow fort.

I shoveled copious amounts of snow.

Sad News: A Loss in the Spears Family

Tracey Warren: Wife, Aunt and Sister-in-Law

On January 3rd of this year, we were all shocked when Tracey Warren, my twin brother's wife passed away unexpectedly of an undiagnosed heart ailment.

The tragedy was traumatic to all who knew her and we all remember her fondly along with missing her dearly.
