Ski-Tacular

Every year the ladies here plan a Ski-Tacular day! Its pretty fun all of us ladies head up to powder horn for the day and ski/snowboard! The best part for me besides the company of course is always lunch time, something about being on the mountain and eating Chili and fries will a yummy drink! Perfect Day! I can't find my big group photo but here are a few of us!

Ouray

We took a quick weekend trip to our friends cabin up in Ouray a few weekends ago. It was a crazy adventure for us, but all ended well! We went up with some friends and there car got stuck and would not make it up the steep mountain, so we all loaded into our truck and went up. Once we got up we had about 200 yards or so that we had to carry all of our stuff and kids up to the cabin. We loaded the kids in the sleds and trucked out stuff in, the snow was pretty deep and the kids were cold by the time we made it to the cabin. Once there though we warmed up and got cozy. The kids also enjoyed lots of sledding the next day, fun times.

 

Boys for the Week

My sister took a week and went to Hawaii so we got to have all the nephews here at our house staying with us! Brooklyn had the time of here life as you see they played with her, painted her nails, just about anything she wanted! They were super fun, we had some yummy food and movie nights.

Full Body Painting

Brooklyn's cute little friend Taylor had her over for a paint party on her birthday. They are super cute little friends. Brooklyn was really not sure what to think about letting paint get all over her body and self. She had a great time!

Salt Lake

I always get behind on my blogging, so the next several posts make up our January and February. We took a quick trip over to Utah to hang with Jon's family. We mostly just relaxed and checked out the new outlet mall. We also went to dinner for some delicious ribs, Love this picture of Chris! Also Cami made these super cute hats for the kids, they love them!

December Festivities

The month of December was crazy and fun filled, a little sick filled also but mostly fun.

This year I made the kids there own felt tree, so that they had one to play with instead of mine :) It worked out pretty good, For Brooklyn at least, Easton still liked getting the ornaments off my tree. I also made an advent calendar this year, which turned out pretty fun, I was glad my kids can't read yet so if I didn't feel like doing the card I was just able to make something up!

So here are some of our December Highlights.
We went downtown to see the parade of lights, all sorts of cars had lights and music, Brooklyn loved it.

We made snowman Pizzas

My mom sent the kids a package and they played forever just in the box, until Easton tipped out and got a fat lip on the hardwood floor.

 We went to look at Christmas lights while caroling.

Our friend put together a Polar Express nights, with tickets and all. The kids all had tickets and got a hail bell ride, sang songs, had Hot Cocoa, and saw Santa, it was pretty great.

There has been plenty of snow here so we have been sledding and making snow angels.

 We went shopping at Old Navy were Brooklyn made friends with the mannequins it was pretty funny.

Here the kids are in there Sunday Christmas clothes.

We did lots of really cold running,

Lots of baking!! Brooklyn got this new apron and hat from our dear friend.. she is obsessed with it.

Every year we built rice krispy castles and decorate them and see whose wins.. I think ours finished dead last this year, but first in the kids book!

I put together a Christmas pageant this year with music and acting out the nativity, it turned out really awesome.

Here are the kids on Christmas Day

 For New Years we did our annual year in review video and dinner and then headed to the Forgettos party for a bit in which we played games and did some dancing.. sadly poor Jon was sick but he tried to be a trooper:)
