Girls Weekend!

So, I've always wanted to do a girls weekend. Well it finally happened. My friend Jill turned 30 this year and her husband got her some rooms up at Snowbird so she could have a girls weekend. So we packed up Thursday night and headed to the canyon. We just relaxed, ate food, talked til 1:30 in the morning, made jewelry and bows, watched movies and slept. Wow, it's been a long time since I've done whatever I wanted and didn't have to worry about kids. I highly recommend it. It's not that I don't love being with my family, but breaks are well needed. So thanks Joel for watching the kiddos for me and taking a break from work.

So silly!

Kids do the strangest things. The other day Joel and I found Kaleb in his room playing in his underwear and wearing his cowboy boots. I just thought it was so cute. My parents have a picture of my brother about the same age in his underwear, cowboy boots, and a holster with guns. Good memories.
Avree also decided to take the toilet seat with her instead of using it in the bathroom. It's a good thing they are so cute and do these silly things to remind me how fun they are. Gotta love'm.

Christmas Day!

Okay, I know this is really late and I haven't updated my blog forever, but better late then never. I'm posting some pics of Christmas. We were able to enjoy the morning at our house and then went to my parents for brunch. Later we went to Joel's parents for dinner and to celebrate Joel's birthday. In case you didn't know, Joel is a Christmas baby. Super fun, right? Well we try to celebrate it separately from Christmas. So all day it's Christmas stuff, and in the evening it's birthday time! So happy belated birthday hunny. We love you so much and appreciate all that you do for us.

Snow anyone?

So last week we got hit with some major snow storms. Probably the most snow since we've lived in our house. For Christmas this year, Joel's mom did the 12 days of Christmas and gave us a tool to build an igloo. Joel was so excited about it. He and Kaleb started on it, and Kaleb go too cold so he came inside to thaw out. Joel was so determined to finish his igloo, it took him 5 hours!! It looked awesome. I snapped some pictures of Kaleb and our neighbor Jaxson enjoying the snow. It's a good thing we took some pictures because it collapsed later in the week. Check it out!
