Playing at the Peak

We have a gymnastics place in town that opens up for a few hours a week for kids to come and play on the equipment.  My boys love it and so do I.  It gets us out of the house and lets them run around as much as they want.  So much fun.  We went this week and I finally remembered my camera to take some pictures.

The rings.  The boys both love to swing on these.

Haircuts

I took the kids to get haircuts last week. Their favorite part is the sucker they get afterwards.

Christmas Snowmobiling

For Christmas we went to Island Park.  It was tons of fun and there was a lot of snow to play in.  The cabin has a new addition which made for fun game nights and more room for watching movies.  One day we took the kids to Big Springs on snowmobiles.

Blake fell asleep on the ride there.  It was so cute!

Here's Carson pointing to the fish and ducks we fed.  We also saw a muskrat.

Here's our attempt at a family picture.

Gingerbread Houses

We received a gingerbread house kit for Christmas. We've never done gingerbread houses as a family before, so a kit was a perfect way to get us going this year. The kids had lots of fun and we want to make it a tradition now!

Birthday Ice Skating

Mike's birthday was also in December and we decided to go ice skating.  In theory it sounded like lots of fun, but when we got there we realized it was also a lot of work to get two kids stable on skates.  We ended up getting these ice skating walkers to help us out.  Carson loved ice skating and often asks when we are going back.  Blake lasted about an hour and then we took his skates off and let him walk around in his shoes.  It was a fun adventure, and hopefully we'll do it again!

Afterward, we all enjoyed some cake and ice cream at home.

Christmas Trip

In December I invited my family to have a Christmas party with us. Our town does a Christmas movie (free movie at the local theater) and we went to that and then we rode FrontRunner to Salt Lake City and saw the lights on Temple Square. Then we ate at the Lion House Pantry. It was a fun day and the weather was great for walking around.

Here's my brother Conner. He got his mission call in December. He's going to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. He leaves for the MTC in March.

Here's the best we could do for a family picture!

Snow Day

These pictures are from December. We had a few big snowstorms and Carson loves to play in the snow. He went out as much as he could.
