Happy Birthday Jenna!

My little sister is turning 22 today, I can't believe it! Jenna, I just wanted to tell you how much I love you! I'm so proud of you and the mom and wife you are. You are one of my very favorite people to hang out with, I always laugh so hard when I'm with you! I love that you always think of us when you are gally-vanting with Mom and pick stuff up you know we'd like. I love that you are always willing to do my hair whenever we're together, I know it's time when the compliments start slowing down! You are such a fun aunt to my kids, too, they love to see you and talk to you on the phone. I hope your day is great and you know we love you!

Happy Birthday!

Bear Lake Weekend

This weekend was a little while ago, but it was so much fun I really wanted to post the pictures!

We spent a long weekend in January with Chambers Family at the Painter Cabin at Bear Lake. We had such a blast!

The kids played non-stop, loving running and chasing and playing in the snow and just being with each other. The grown-ups laughed and loved hanging out!

Allie and Hudson were the cutest little buddies. Hudson has three cousins on the Chambers side born within 3 months of him, they definitely make for some wild family parties.

We had the crazy idea to take the kids skiing at "the Beav" on Friday...a first for a lot of them. What an undertaking that was! Just getting them each in boots and skis was quite the project...

It was worth it, though. We got lessons for most of them, and they had such a great time. I loved watching them all, especially Hudson in his tiny skis. Adorable! We got a private lesson for Hudson, and Kennedy was in a class with three of her cousins. They both loved it, Kennedy never wanted to stop, but Hudson was pretty tired after his hour. He was happy to go back to lodge with Mom and have some hot chocolate. I stayed right on the littlest hill, trying to be careful - a crash at 5 months along, I would not have been proud of myself - but Dustin had a ball chasing Mike down the bigger slopes. It was so fun to get out there!

One of my favorite parts of the weekend was watching the kids play Rock Band. Whoa, did they get into it! Hilarious.

We had a great time, Thank you so much Kim and Mike for hosting. Please let us do it again!
