Sledding

So my wonderful sister and brother in law gave us a great new sled for Christmas, and our home teacher Mike called and asked us if we wanted to go sledding with his family a couple of days ago. We don't need to be asked twice!! It was a lot of fun, even if we aren't what you call an "outdoorsy" family... We all had so much fun. Thanks Amanda and Mike, and Sara and Christian for the great present!!!

Maddie was lovin it! She brought her friend Lizeth along, and they had a great time! 

What a pretty girl! She is almost 12 and growing up way too fast!

Amanda and I went down, and we hit a bush thing. I didn't at first to lean back, but after much laughing, we brushed ourselves off, and tried again.

I still fell over at the end. I am not the most "graceful" sledder.

What fun!

Abby and Delaney having fun!!

Sydney and Ryan. She got hurt a couple of times, but kept on sledding.

My little family just loved it! Jackson was sick and Amber Wardell watched him for us.  That was so nice of her. We don't think he would of done so good in the cold...We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and had hot chocolate stirred with sticks. If that wasn't camping, we don't know what is! What a fun afternoon, on the first day of vacation!!! Thanks again everyone!

more christmas card pictures..

Ok, this is so hard, because well let's face it. I am pretty vain. And I wish I were about 40 pounds lighter, but since that can happen.. (by Christmas) I guess we will have to choose between these two and Jackson didn't like being cold, so we might have to put some cute pictures of him in there too...

Not our best Christmas Card picture...

Here's a family picture finally , but it will not be our picture... we are going to try again before Sat. and hopefully get a cute family picture...
