Sledding at Soldier Hollow

Our family got a chance to go up to Soldier Hollow to sled in January. It was part of Youth Conference, all the youth and their families were invited. We had the sledding hill to ourselves. It was so much fun! Early on a Saturday, temps were a bit chilly but there was fun to be had! It was more than fun...it was AWESOME! Here are some pics of our fun time!

This was taken from the top of the sledding hill....it was a perfect winter morning. Notice the lack of snow, so the snow machines were going full force!

Caleb posing for a photo


Craig & Lib heading to the the top Me sledding down the hill, I promise you get going pretty fast! It's really fun!


Liberty just finishing her run


Craig doing who knows what!



Randomly, this is the only picture we got of Zach all day. We were there for 2 hours and he was sledding the ENTIRE time!

These two were racing EVERYONE!



Me waiting my turn to go down.

Liberty loving every minute of the fun.

See, you get going so fast, sometimes it's hard to stop...I slammed into the temporary fence. Ooops!Don't worry I was fine, and ready for more fun!



Brit went down twice, then he was done, the rest of the time he played at the bottom of the hill with the unused tubes. He had a great time!

(Most of these photos were taken by Kylie Oyler of our ward, Thanks Kylie!)
We had a very fun time! Everytime we go there we always wonder when we can go back! It's well worth it! The only way to go sledding! They pull you up to the top and you zip down and then go do it all over again. WONDERFUL!

THIS GUY!




I love him so much! He is VERY busy these days...but he handles everything with ease. He does what he has to do for work, church and the family. Somehow he fits everything in. He amazes me! I love being married to him. He is dedicated to his calling, and I support him. He is a wonderful and supportive father to our children, and I love it! He is a great husband to me, and I feel blessed! I am one lucky gal!


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I LOVE...





Having no TV! I know it may sound crazy but it has been a HUGE success in our home! We haven't had cable for a while, but a few weeks ago our XBOX 360 broke and we lost our access to Netflix. Which at first was kind of a bummer, but it has made it so nice. In the evenings it is quiet! We talk so much more and the kids and I will gather around and just chat. We end up laughing or playing some sort of made up game and I love it! Yes, there are shows that we enjoy and on occassion miss but we are surviving just fine without it! Give it a try and see how you like it!

MY CHILDREN!


Seriously, I couldn't ask for better children. We have our moments of drama, but what family doesn't. I love their personalities, I love to support them in their activities, I love the way them make me laugh, and smile constantly! I find myself watching them, seeing how they will react to different things, and they truly make me happy! Caleb, Zach, Liberty & Brit, you are my joy!

SURPRISES!!!

(Picture via Pinterest...my pictures wouldn't load! Bummer!)


Craig surprised me in November, and I realized that I haven't blogged about it, so here it is...Craig planned an entire trip, babysitters and all for me. He took me to Disneyland for 3 days. It was just the two of us...and we had a blast! We were as giddy as a couple of jr. high kids! We had great weather, great wait times, and even learned our lesson when we tried to cut the short lines even shorter. Thinking we were SO SNEAKY we jumped the line for Indiana Jones, only to realize we jumped into the exit line and totally lost the chance to go on it our first night! Whatever, you live and learn! It was a great trip, we snuck over to the beach, did a little Christmas shopping, saw a darling missionary couple who was serving there from our ward, and just had a blast! It was the perfect surprise!

(Now what will I do to surprise him??? Ideas?)

SPENDING TIME WITH THESE GUYS!

Although this photo is a few years old, and it has a couple of cousins in it, this is an amazing bunch of people! Craig also comes from an wonderful family! This photo was taken at our annual Couples Valentine's Dinner. It was held on day 11 (Feb. 11)...and once again it was a great night, full of fun, food, and laughs! Again, I am very blessed not only to have a great family but to have married into one!
