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.

Oh, Christmas time.....

Sage danced at the Festival of trees this last week and also sang there. Lucky us we got to go down to the Festival twice! (I am being a little sarcastic)! Anyway we had a great time and the kids had a great time too! This is all of them posing for the camera!

Our family with Santa! Merry Christmas!!

Halloween Fun!

These pictures are from my lovely camera! Ricky has the pictures from Halloween night on his camera, those will be coming soon! This was the pumpkin carving and a Halloween party!

The finished products!!

The kids all love Halloween! Sage and Jade are sleeping beauty! Jade wanted to be what Sage was! Hunter decided to make a change this year and instead of being a cowboy he wanted to be spiderman! He loved it! Paxton had a great time has the frog prince. We had a great Halloween!

The horse ride....

Last weekend my dad took Hunter out to Antelope Island for a horse ride. Before they left Jade really wanted to ride so they went for a little ride! Paxton enjoyed sitting on the grass with Grandma and watching the dog and the horse! Thanks Grandpa for taking the kids on a ride! They love every minute of it!!

Yellowstone 2009

Two weeks ago we went to Yellowstone for our annual trip! It was way warm for the last weekend of September! It was really fun though. We went with my parents, the Golds(family friends), and McKay and Dixie! There is a fire in Yellowstone and the kids entertained themselves in the trees while we waited in a really long line of cars to get by the worst part of the fire. Sage's crazy eyes!

Our cute Jade!!

Hunter has a mean face on because he didn't want Sage on "his" rock!

Some of the elk we saw!

A deer! We dont' see a lot of deer in Yellowstone.

The fire...so sad!

This was a helicopter landing in the lake to fill up the bag underneath with water. We watched it while waiting to go through the worst part of the fire. They were sending 20 cars through at a time.

Labor Day and the Zoo......

We went to the Zoo on Labor day with all of the rest of Utah! When we drove up and I saw how many cars were there I thought, "why are we doing this!" But it wasn't that bad once we were inside. We didnt' get there until later in the afternoon and a lot of people were leaving by then. The kids had tons of fun! Hunter was so very excited. Apparently I am the worst mom ever because he said he had never gone to the zoo. Thinking back I think the last time I went was when he was about six months old! So sad! My Hunter who loves all animals! Ricky is of course hunting so we went with my Mom and Dad and my niece Eliza came with us too!
