Snowmobiling

We went snowmobiling this past weekend in Bear Lake with some friends. It was a lot of fun. By the end of the day I had only gotten stuck once and tipped over once. I am an avid trail rider on snowmobiling because of an accident I got into in 2000. This is only my second time on a snowmobile since them so I was really nervous, so I was going the slowest out of anyone. Oh well, it was still fun. Brad got stuck really good and here is the video.

Me taking a picture of Me.

Brad stuck on the hill. He had a little boy on the sled with him so he claims that is why he got stuck because he couldn't turn in time.

All in all, it was fun, we played games the night before with Pat and Nichol, and Peyton and Andrian. It was fun and I can't wait to do it again.

Easy Going (thank goodness)



This clips shows just how easy going and happy Dylan is. He spends a lot of his day in that chair and he LOVES it! When he is on the floor he is already pulling his legs up underneath him like he wants to crawl. He has no interest in sitting up yet though, probably because he gets a panoramic view with the spinning chair. But, ENJOY our BOY!

On a side note, I was washing the fabric part of the chair the other day and Tenille and Lacey were fighting over getting in the chair. So I put them both in, and they had fun in it for about 10 minutes. So this is our Alternative to Sharing.

Hair update

So with a little practice, I have been able to get a few hairstyles down. Pig tails are by far my favorite on the girls. I have been able to do pony tails and some little piggies on the top of their heads. Someday I will be able to do really cute hair like Aunt Shanna. I tried finding a picture to show you how cute she does Kesslee's hair, but I couldn't find one.


What size are you??

We were getting ready to go snowmobiling this past weekend and Brads boots were out so that I could pack them. Tenille and Lacey decided to see if they would fit... yup, they fit, if you want gallashes!!!


Tenille thinking she's so cool (she totally is!!)

Lacey deciding, "how am I going to get my other foot in there?"

Lacey, with thinking face on, well, if I get down here...

Funny little quirk


See that little arm??? Dylan sleeps in the corner of the crib and has to take his arms and HUG the crib bumper. What a silly little kid. When I go check on him, he is usually just like this, with his arm just hanging out there.

Cedar City

As Brad has been in Cedar City, we have missed him a lot, so we decided to pack up the car and take the kids on a little road trip. That is my Mother in Law and I. While we were down there, we didin't stay in Brad's dinky little house. Mandy and Uri (our friends that live there) let us stay in their basement which was a lot nicer I might add. We had 3 pack n plays in the room with us but all in all it turned out well. I felt bad invading on Mandy like that as she had 6 kids there that weren't her own, BESIDES MINE! They have 7 kids ranging from 12 down to 5 months old so needless to say, it was a CRAZY house. We didn't go anywhere as the weather was bad but we did get to go down to see the new subdivision and where it was in regards to Cedar City. It is in Enoch about 2 miles north of Cedar City. It is HUGE!!! There are plans to build schools and grocery stores and a park way! I think it will be pretty cool. I am excited to go but nervous at the same time.

Playing in the kitchen. I MUST get one of those, maybe for their birthday.

Super Bowl party, Brad had a little bonding time with Dylan... as you can see. Dylan LOVES the TV, Tenille and Lacey never did when they were little, and barely do now.


On a side note 1 year ago we were in Cancun (if only we were there this year, I could really use a trip with all the snow to someplace warm. This year I am not pregnant either which means they won't restrict you from scuba diving. Don't get me wrong, I love the snow and weather, but I am ready for a little bit warmer weather.) Anyhow, I was going to show you who Mandy and Uri were. They are the couple in the red and blue shirt in the back of the picture.


We were able to go to this restaurant while we were there as a treat. We stayed in an all inclusive resort with a buffet and it was good for the first few days but it got old and the only thing I ended up eating by the end of the week was fruits, salads, and ice cream. =0)

Snow Cave

Missy and Brett came over with his dad's snowblower to shovel our walks after we got home from Cedar City, because we had nearly 15 inches on our driveway. Anyhow, Tenille and Lacey saw they were out there and brought me their boots. I got them bundled up and let them go out and play with Brett and Missy. This is what Brett made for them!


THANKS MISSY AND BRETT! YOU GUYS ARE LIFE (and back) SAVERS!!!
