six years and counting....

Jack celebrated his sixth birthday on Sunday.
We can't believe he is that big already!

This year he had a fun family party with the Findlay's

And he got a new bike... (can you tell his favorite color is green?)


He wanted me to take a picture of his new creepy helmet.
Look out neighborhood-as soon as the snow thaws he's hittin' the road!

24 kids & 12 adults in a cabin at Bear Lake

We spent several days with lots of good friends in a cabin at Bear Lake last weekend. It was fun to spend some time there in the winter, especially since we usually are there in the summer. There were friends for everyone. The older girls had fun with pipe cleaners...

The adults played lots of fun games...







And everybody ate way too much food!




Feeding that many kids is an adventure in itself!



We spent some time on 4 wheelers and snow mobiles...


And lounged around in the snow..



And we had a blast on a great sledding hill with NO INJURIES! Amazing!



Dads raced...



And so did the moms. FYI- I won!



And we sent 15-20 kids down the hill at once-and still, NO INJURIES!






It is awesome to have such fun friends to hang out with!

Been busy!

Haven't taken the time lately to blog our family highlights. Here are a few from the last couple weeks.... Melissa grew another year older...

And in the beginning of the month she spent 3 days clearing the driveway of several feet of snow while Chris went to Key West, Florida on "business". Lucky.



It is 28 degrees in Utah today. Blah!



Welcoming 2009

This is how we celebrated the new year. That is Cameron and his friend on the sled.

This picture says it all...

Christmas was magical. We never have to guess how Jack feels about something!

Katy-bug keeps growing up...

She's 14 now!!!
