Paxton Standing

Paxton is getting so big! He has started to stand up on everything. Now that he's crawling, he seems more interested in climbing up on things than exploring the household.

Annual Bear Lake Trip

The kids always look forward to Bear Lake. There was virtually no snow this year, so we didn't even bring the snowmobiles. I think the kids had just as much fun swimming as they would have doing anything else. After being cooped up for so long inside this winter, they could not get enough of the pool.

Jade is not afraid of the water, but we still had to watch her, she is braver than her own good.


This dynamic duo have so much fun together, and they get along so good. There had a ball making bubble beards.


Sage is lucky to have such great cousins her age.


Not sure if she is happy or scared, but Sage could not get enough of the pool. She is getting to good at holding her breath under water.


Jade wore her little wings religiously after she had a close call in the hot tub. Ricky pulled her out of the water, just as she slipped of the steps into the deeper water!!

2009 Christmas

Christmas is full of traditions around our home, every year we take the kids snowmobiling on Christmas eve, build gingerbread houses, and have the children act out the Nativity.

Jade and Ricky on my snowmobile.


The Kids really take the Nativity seriously, it's really cool to see them get into it.


I'm not sure what the kids like more, building gingerbread houses, or having free rein of the treats for a night.
