Snowbird 2010

Each year we are lucky enough to head down to Snowbird, Utah for the whole Thanksgiving week. So fun to relax, swim, eat, snowboard (when you aren't pregnant), visit with friends and fam, eat, play in the snow or sled, and eat some more! I always head into SLC in the wee hours of the morning to hit the black Friday shopping too. So fun! I hardly took any pictures, but here are a few.

The kids "sledding" down the stairs.

We had a small crew for turkey dinner so we invited some of the Shurtleff gang to join us. M&M took over the camera and made sure to take a picture of everyone!

We also celebrated M&M's birthday by having cake, going out to dinner and watching Tangled in 3D (her choice). She loved it!

Can't wait to shred the hills next year! :)

Family Pictures

Our good friend, Kristin, was super nice and took family pictures of us. These can always be stressful for me, picking the right outfits, making sure all my kids look clean, and hoping they cooperate when we are taking them. They cooperated ok except for our dear CJ. He had a mind of his own and definitely didn't want his picture taken. I even forgot candy to bribe him. Oh well, we still got some great shots. Thanks Kristin!!

Happy Halloween!

We had fun dressing up as a themed family. The kids were pretty impressed by Mom and Dad's costume this year. Happy Halloween!!

Uh oh!

I'm guessing this is just the beginning. (permanent marker) Though in studying the drawing I see 2 really straight lines that look like the beginning of tic tac toe. Maybe we should be blaming his sister :) His Daddy made him pose for the picture!

*update*

My sis-in-law emailed me this picture after she saw this post. I had to laugh, this was a family swim night a couple days later!

Hike to Josephine Lake

Beginning of September we went to McCall and did a fun hike with Nana and Papa. James even caught a fish! We love getting out and wearing the kids out. Good times!

Summer!

Don't you love summer for this reason?

Now if we could all strip our shirts off and let watermelon drip down, the world would be a funny place. :)

And then there were...

Four :)
