Rylee's First Ski Day

Here are the pictures of Rylee's first ski day at a resort. She was SOOOOOOOOOO excited to go skiing at the ski resort and ride the ski lift. Her Grandma said that all she wanted to do was go fast and get higher on the mountain. She was a natural, like her Daddy. Thanks for the fun memories Grandma!!!

Catch Up Time :o)

I know when I get a email from sister asking me how I am, and if I am alive, because I haven't been blogging. I know I am behind ;o) So, here is what we have been up to the last the last few weeks!!!


It was Rylee's turn to learn how to ski. So, Boomer took her out in the back yard to learn, before we took her to a ski resort. She did great, she picked it up really fast. Her Grandma ended up taking her skiing a few days later at a resort, Rylee was in heaven. She called me on the ski lift, grinning from ear to ear. Grandma said, "she was a natural", all she wanted to do is go higher and faster. She is definitely her Dad!!! Those pictures of her skiing at the ski resort will follow shortly.....


We were out playing around in the snow while Rylee was skiing..... Luke loved it!! It was a gorgeous sunny day!! I love the picture of Joslyn swinging in her snow clothes in the green (well brown) grass while luke is sitting in the snow....enjoying it all to the fullest.


Here are variety of Luke's silly faces..he FINALLY got two teeth in and one now coming in on the bottom, now we are just waiting for him to walk. They are so sticken' cute. He is now almost 14 months, I cannot believe how fast he is growing. He is such a funny little guy...I am learning fast, the difference between boys and girls. He chucks EVERYTHING, crawls on EVERYTHING and just giggles. Funny boy!!


Some beautiful pictures from the back deck. GORGEOUS view!!


I love the colors...fun times in snow ;o)


Morgan did her first science fair project, she had a fun time doing it.


LLLLUUUKKKKEEEEE...my cute messy boy!!!


This is how Luke works at dinner, he just lets the dog clean off his hands and continues to eat...so NaStY!!!



Fun story with this picture. We haven't had a dishwasher for over 13 years in our marriage. So, Jos (2) has never known how to load one or what they are, and how they work. After dinner one night we were loading the dishwasher (we have one right now...YEAH, they are awesome!!) and she was insisting on washing the bowl at the sink and not just putting it in this machine dirty. So, I let her wash a couple of bowls like we did all the time after dinner. After we were down to the last bowl, I was trying to teach her how to load a dirty dish in the dishwasher. That was not acceptable, so she called the dog over and told him to clean the bowl, after it was clean she put it in the dishwasher, It will take time ;o)

Christmas Dinner

The night before we left California we had a Christmas dinner with our church. It was a very, fun night. Here are some of our MOST favorite people in this world!! We love you!!

SeaWorld..one last time on 2009

We had to go to SeaWorld one last time on 2009..We went with my sisters and Mom..it was so fun. My older sister, Michelle had never been there before...I don't know if it was funnier watching her or the animals. It was the best day!!

We had such a great Christmas being home with family. We spent Christmas Eve and morning at Boomer's Dad's house. We went to My parents house in the afternoon and up to Boomer's Mom's house in Park City for an amazing Christmas dinner. A very fun, filled day!!

LIFE!!!!

Life can get interesting sometimes. One day you are putting up your Christmas decoration, cleaning house and planning a two week vacation to Utah. Then in an instant, Boomer goes to work and his work is doing lay offs and he is one of them being laid off. Many emotions and decision are at our feet. So, a little over a week later we are taking Christmas down and packing a house and moving to Utah. It was so hard to leave our life in California. We will miss our amazing friends, the weather and of course living life on the beach. But, moving back to Utah, with family felt the best thing to do for our family.

Thanks to an amazing family and friends that dropped everything to come help pack up our house and move us back to Utah a week before Christmas..we couldn't have done it without you. My two sisters, Mom and our dear friends (Swains) were troopers...and Boomer's parents brought down the truck and trailer and we got it all done. Thank you, thank you!! We have had time to adjust, get the girls in school and on with life we go. Here are some pictures of our time in Utah so far.

Fun time in the snow at my Mom's, we even got to see deer in the mornings. So, fun!!

It snowed for two days straight. The kids just loved watching the snow fall. And loved watching Boomer plow the drive way.


Fun times sledding at Boomer's sisters place....she pulled the kids behind the 4 wheeler, the girls loved it.

The day after Christmas we went with Boomer's Mom to a huge tubing hill, it was soooo fun!! A tow rope towed you to the top of the run and then you tubed down the hill. It was absolutely beautiful. A little cold at first, when we pulled up it was a whopping 1 degree, by the time we left it was 15 degrees...CRAZY!!


We had a birthday party for Luke a few days after we got to Utah...we were driving to Utah the day of his birthday! Boomer's nephew and Luke share the same birthday, so we got together for cake and ice cream one night for the two of them. I can't believe my baby is 1 year old. AAHHHH!!!


On New Year's night we took the kids down to Salt Lake City to dinner and to walk around Temple Square and see the Christmas lights. It was so fun. We went to the place were Boomer proposed to me, the girls thought that was so cool...I tried to get him to kneel on one knee again...the picture of me and Boomer was were he proposed 15 years ago...WOW!!!
