New Years Day 2014

To celebrate New Years Day, we spent it up Loafer canyon snowmobiling and sledding with Joel and Julie's and Sam and Whitney's families.








Jeff - Joel - and EMMA spent the day driving everyone to the top of the canyon on the snowmobile so that they could sled down the road.




Nick was up from St. George visiting and he stayed the week with us.  He and Jens had been out and so they missed coming up with us.  When they got home, we told them to take my car and come up and meet us.  I thought they would use their heads and take my four wheel drive Expedition.  Oh no - they took me literally when I said to take my "car" and come up.  They pulled up the snow packed roads in my VOLVO!

I about died when I saw them pull up in my car.  
But at least now I know that it handles pretty darn good in the snow!

Elf on the Shelf 2013

It seems like we were hardly home this December.  We missed about 2 full weeks of time at home because of vacation days we spent.  But our elf Bernard made the best of the time that we were home.

He left us out The Polar Express movie to watch.


He took time to soak in a bubble bath in the Barbie bathtub.


Cade left his toys out one day so he decided to play with them!


He xeroxed his butt on our printer!


He gifted wrapped our toilet especially for us.  So nice of him!


He took a dry erase marker and drew all over the kids baby pictures.  Then he hung out there to watch our reactions as we saw the pictures.

He made Jens look like a girl with curly hair and glasses and a lollipop in his hand...

He made Sidney look like a bearded lady with a uni brow...

Cade got a Spanish matador style mustache and a uni brow...

And last but not least, he made Molly look like the devil!


He replaced the kids pictures with pictures of himself.








Cade and Molly LOVE finding him each morning.  They think he is so funny!
