white Christmas

Our vacation started on Christmas Eve as we boarded a plane headed for Utah hoping to find a little snow to play in. We were pleasantly surprised as the snow kept falling for most of our stay. Although it looks like I had my camera in hand at all times, I didn't! I only took it out of the bag twice during the twelve days we were there. Those two times provided me with plenty of photos.

It would have been nice to snap a couple pictures of the kids skiing this year but I decided to leave the camera packed away while I took a break, relaxed and did a little skiing of my own.
We hit the slopes on Christmas Day and it proved to be the perfect day. There was no crowd. We skied all day and never had to stand in line.

When you dress warm you can stay out in the cold for hours and that's exactly what we did!



















Sledding
This was definitely a favorite. The kids couldn't get enough!






























Snowmobiling



Snowmobiling was definitely a highlight for our boys! A big THANK YOU to the Breinholt family for allowing us to join in with the family for the day.






We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas vacation this year. We love to get away as a family. Our time together is filled with excitement, laughter and cherished memories!

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls!

New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

BACK TO SCHOOL 2012.

Woa, I'm already school shopping?!  How is it possible that the summer is gone and school is upon us already?   I may not be ready for the kids to go back to school quite yet (I want more vacation time ) but they are.   Now that the kids have met their teachers (we got lucky, everyone is thrilled with their teacher choice) and have reacquainted themselves with friends they are ready to begin a new school year.  Britley is a THIRD grader this year. She is extremely bright and ready to get to work. Breeley is a FIFTH grader.   I can't believe it!  She makes friends easily and is happy to meet her "new friends". Dawson is in 8th grade.   This will be his last year of Jr. High!  Oh boy- I'm sure he will make it a memorable year (His poor teachers).  He happens to be the "funny kid" in school.  We've gotten to know all his teachers a little more than we would have liked to. Wesley is a Sophomore in High Sch
