..2013..

We rang in 2013 with some great friends and a rodeo! What could be better than that? :)

Gabe, Cade and I went to Bull Wars at Golden Spike and met up with some great friends later that night. I wish I would have taken some pictures but I was too busy playing Pictionary.

On New Years Day my family came up to our house and we spent the day sledding! Charlotte didn't want to be bothered with anything besides eating snow. And feeding me snow.  

This -16 degree weather has been going on for far too long! I think the news said this has been the coldest winter in like 10 years. There were several days in a row where it didn't warm up above 0. But luckily, I think that has passed for the most part! Bring on Spring!!

Christmas 2012

Whoaaaaaa. How is it already the middle of February? I have been terrible at keeping up with my blog :/ Hopefully I will change that and start doing better! Here's to hoping.

Christmas has come and gone once again and we had such a great holiday! Here is what our Christmas looked like....

We spent Christmas morning with my parents and little brother. We all got SOOOO spoiled!

Thanks Santa ;)

(YAY! He has a wedding ring again!!!!)

My dad surprised my mom with an Iphone and her reaction was. so. awesome! 

She cried like a baby :)

Love going to Temple Square during the Christmas season! 

and we also went on a hay ride through the Layton Park to see the lights!

Giving Thanks 2012

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! My mother-in-law rented out a condo at Moose Hollow in Wolf Creek and it was so great. Gabes sisters & their families were all there along with our 11 nieces & nephews. Uncle Gabe was the main source of entertainment for the kids and he couldn't have been happier about it.

 

 anyone else see a pattern here? ha ha I think this guy is more than ready to be a daddy.

 We made some cute little handprint snowmen ornaments

We played some Minute-to-Win-It games and it was SO fun!

The how-many-skittles-can-you-suck-up-and-set-on-top-of-the-other-straws-in-a-minute game.

 The Can-you-get-the-red-pompom-on-a-string-up-on-your-vaseline-covered-nose-in-a-minute game.

 The see-who-can-shake-out-six-ping-pong-balls-from-a-kleenex-box-the-fastest game.

&

  The see-how-many-marshmallows-you-can-get-through-the-wreath-and-into-the-bucket-in-a-minute game.

 After the games were all over & done with we opened up the traditional Thanksgiving pajamas...

 We also got to celebrate Kendall & Lorelei's birthdays!

(aren't they such cute little girls?!)

and we ended the night with a little

Just Dance.

 

I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving as well!

Founders Day

We attended our first Founders Day this year and had such a fun day!

Our families came up early that morning for some dutch oven breakfast and hot chocolate. Our cute little town has thee best parade thats just a few streets up from our house. They started off the parade with the "Pioneers" and ended with the "Indians."

We had 7 adults snatchin candy for one cute little girl ;)

After the parade ended they had an old fashion shootout at the park.

The Indians, Cowboys, and Army did a little re-enactment.

Someone was a little tuckered out by the end of the day ;)
