Snow fun!

We spent 2 days playing in the snow with family over New Year's weekend.

Here's Wy riding with Grandpa Scooter. He loves the 4-wheeler.

How many kids can you fit in a big tub sled? At least 6!

Here's Jake pulling the kids on the asphalt. (notice it's Ryan's sled and not his)

Can you find Hayden and Austin?

Wyatt once again on the 4-wheeler with me this time. Hang on kids!

This is in Dayton in the church parking lot next to my parent's house.

A little blurry- but here's Austin loving the ride.

Here's Haydo and Austi waiting for their ride to leave.

Mommy and Wyatt even got a chance to go for a ride.
Here's Hayden and Owen and Austin and Harely.

We had a lot of fun and sure wish that we would have gotten as much snow as Grandma and Grandpa Casper got this week. (about 2 feet) We love the snow, but not when it's hard and dirty :(

Each life that touches ours for good...

I had the opportunity to attend the funeral of a lady that I will always consider a great friend and example to me. She was an amazing person who really had a gift working with the youth. She was one of my best friend's mom, she was my YW president, camp director, stake YW president, and the list goes on. She knew how to make you always feel included and made sure that you knew who you were and how special that is. I am so grateful to her for helping me to become who I am today. Thank you Linda for all of the time you sacrificed away from your family while serving and loving others!

Christmas in rewind


Wyatt cruisin' on his new 4-wheeler.

Hayden and Austin - our new handy-men.

Wyatt chiling at home on Christmas morning. This is his new chair that Santa brought.
Here's Haydo and cousing "O" anxiously waiting to open presents.
Wyatt got a new train with blocks. He loves to play with it. Suprising enough, Santa brought him one too. I say great minds think alike.
Austin opening a Lightning McQueen puzzle book.
We are so blessed to live close to both of our families. We spent Christmas Eve with the Taylors. We played a "gag" gift game where you couldn't spend anymore than $3.50 on a gift. We laughed so hard that we were all crying. A great new family tradition.
On Christmas Day we went to the Goodliffes. We had a lot of fun playing with cousins and eating until we were ready to pop. We really had a great Christmas this year.

Winter Wonderland


We have great friends that introduced us to the fun of snowshoeing.
We had such a great time. It is the best way to get up into the mountains and really appreciate nature. We only went a short ways. Pulling 60 pounds of boys behind you gets pretty tiring.

Wyatt had a hard time staying in the sled, especially with the help of Hayden.

Hayden and Austin decided to go the back way down to our car. Austin got stuck and Colby came to his rescue.

Hayden loved every minute of it though.
We really can't wait to go again!
