Deep Snow!

Good thing we bought a 4-wheeler last year to push snow. It has been snowing and blowing constantly out here for the past couple weeks. Check out the HUGE ice cycle hanging from our house!


Jeff and the kids had fun playing outside in the snow today. They built snow cave and buried themselves chest deep in the snow. We have also had a blast sledding and skiing the slopes. Caden and Talon earned enough money to go to ski school. We have a 4 day school week here, so on Fridays the boys hit the slopes. Pine Creek ski mountain is only 45 minutes away and a bus takes them for us. Last week I went along as a chaperon and got to ski with them. We had a blast!



Here is the part of the view from our back deck. We overlook almost all of Georgetown. The other picture is of Caden making his way down the stairs in 2 + feet of snow, you can see Emilie's head just poking out of the snow in the back by the shed.

Brinley is one! Happy Birthday Sweetie!

Brin's first wish! Hope it was a good one!
I don't think she liked her birtday cake much. The rest of us loved it though!
Greg and Sherilyn came to celebrate with us.

What a cutie. Brin has been trying to walk for about a month now. On her Birtday she finally started walking more than crawling. I am going to miss that cute little behind wiggling as she crawled away from me!

Christmas Morning!

Holy Cow! The boys were beyond excited about getting

a Wii for Christmas! I'm sure I will have a cleaner house for a little

while, thanks to the boys never leaving the TV!

3 THINGS I'M GOOD AT...

Video GAMES, Watching TV, Annoying my SISTER!

Talon to a T!

Emilie is so happy Santa brought her the Barbie house

she asked for!

Getting Crazy with the Hyer's

Grandpa Hyer pierced Brinley's ears for Christmas.

He said since she doesn't have much hair he needed to make

her look more like a girl.

What a dork!

Cousins modeling their new robes from Grandma.

YES! Lets Eat! Our favorite place to hand out!

Our Nativity. The kids were so cute, I especially loved the sheep and angles.

My big brother Darren. This look is pretty typical for him.

No game playing is complete without him!

Having fun with the Collins family

Porter and his cousin Josh sledding.
Libby, Mary, Emilie, Savannah, and Bonnie singing Christmas songs for us.

They were adorable!

It is so fun to get together with family!

We were just getting ready to open presents!

Ward Christmas Party

Hopefully they were good enough to get all they asked for:)!

Oh Christmas Tree!

We decided that it would be a fun family home evening activity to go find ourselves a Christmas tree. By the time Jeff got home from work it was already dark. Because my kids think flashlights are toys, we were going off the sparse moon light. When we thought we found the "perfect tree" Jeff would turn on our dying flashlight to do a quick inspection. After much failure, Talon finally found our "perfect tree". It was crazy getting it down the mountain and onto our car, but it was fun for all of us.
Our tree is about 11 feet tall. It barely fit in our living room after we cut 2' from the top and bottom! We love it!

Brinley's third word, "kitty"!

If ever Brin is crying or bored, all I have to do is put her outside with the "ke kitty" and she is all smiles!!

The Well's Family

I am adding these pictures for all of you that have wanted to see the pictures I took of Jen and her family a couple weeks ago. I had a blast working with them. These two really are in love THAT much!!!

Shey was baptized last month.

Halloween!!!

Ooh, how scary! Talon, aka death, thought that it might be fun to follow Caden the vampire so he could collect his victims. Emmie ran from them all night and was able to hold them off with her martial art skills. Porter the crocodile was able to hold his own. As for Brin she turned them into frogs by the end of the night!!
