My Little Snowboarder

I have been trying to get Brevan to go snowboarding for the last couple of years and he hasn't been interested at all. Well, his dad took him sledding at the church by his house and while sledding, he decided to ride the sled down on his feet and ever since then he has been way into the idea. He was sooo excited to tell me how he could snowboard now so, I mentioned he should take lessons and his response was "why mom I already know how." Anyway, after Christmas his dad took him up to their family cabin in Bearlake and they spent a couple of days snowboarding at Beaver Mtn. He LOVED it!! I have to say he looks so freaking cute in the pics.

New Years Rockin Eve!

This New Years we went over to my sisters house. We had a mighty fine time playing Rock Band on the Wii as you will see in the clips below.... I just have to mention that my brother Landen thought I sounded kinda good but, as you will hear in comparison to his wife JoDee most would sound good. Love ya JoDee but I think you might actually be tone def!! It kinda reminds me of the American Idol tryouts all over again.

Here's JoDee....


Me...



I am sure most would agree that I saved the best for last... Landen was waaaay into it!

The highlight of the night for Sloane was rollin in the dolly stroller with friends...

We even were home in time for Brev to go out and bang pans!!

Christmas Day

Unfortunately, I forgot to take any still shots on Christmas day of my little ones. However, I did catch Brandon on his first round of snowblowing. He was trying to clear the driveway so we could go get Brevan. Later that day he had at least another 6 inches to do again! We had well over a foot when all was said and done.

Christmas Parties

Between Brandon and my family we have quite a few Christmas parties. I usually forget our camera but I did remember to take it to a couple of the parties this year.....

A couple of years ago at one my family parties we started playing a game with all the adults. You wrap a present a million times and then you pass around a dice and whoever rolls a one has to put on a hat, scarve, and gloves and try to unwrap the present until the next person rolls a one. It is hysterical!!! We do have separate games for the kids because the adults in my family are extremely competitive and it can get pretty physical! It's best the little ones just observe this game. :)

Brandon's family is all about tradition. Every Christmas Eve they have a party and the kids act out the nativity scene as someone reads the scriptures. This is then followed up by a family rendition of Silent Night. I just had to post this picture of Sloane because she looks so big!

Here is Sloane in her cute Christmas jammies. Brevan stayed at his Dad's this year so I don't have a pic of him, but they were Wii P.J.s and he loved them!

Sloane loved her little keyboard she got from her cousin Chelsee. Can you say CHEEEZ!
