Weekend Away

Jaysen's brother, Bob, was nice enough to let us use his cabin for a weekend and so we decided to run away a few weeks ago for a much needed weekend away. We took some friends with us too and we all had a really good time.
We made s'mores......



Looks yummy doesn't it?

It was definitely cold outside though.....Lots of snow....

Of course, that didn't keep the kids from wanting to play outside. :0)

The proud builders of this awesome snow fort. :0)




Of course, much time was also spent playing in the hot tub.






We had so much fun and plan on taking Bob up on this offer again REAL soon. :0)

State basketball tournaments

The Jerome Varisty Girls basketball team made it to state tournaments again this year and so we went to cheer on our neice Haylee. (She is number 10)



They played really well and got third place in their district! Good job Haylee! We are so proud of you!
Just a few pictures of Haylee's entourage that was waiting for her after the final game....

Tiger Basketball

My neice, Haylee, played on the Jerome Tiger varsity basketball team again this year. And...once again, the girls made it to district tournaments. So, we went over to Jerome to cheer Haylee and the Lady Tigers on. (Haylee is Number 10)




Haylee is such a good little basketball player and I have really enjoyed watching her play. Love you Haylee!

Nice car Landon!!!

Mackenzee and Landon eating their twinkie cars. :0)

The scoreboard. Landon did pretty good this year. He won some and lost some....and had a really good time racing his car with his friends.

4th grade basketball

Landon's team was named the "Blasts" this year. He had so much fun playing basketball with his friends. It was really fun for us to watch as well. He really got into it this year and was way more aggressive with the ball on both offense and defense. I think he came out with bruises a couple of times after diving after a ball.





Good times....

One of the best parts about Christmas vacation is that we get to hang out with family that we don't get to see very often.
Melanie and Shelby at the bead table. Yes, we took over my mother's dining room and made bracelets, necklaces, and watches galore for two days. It was crazy!





Who needs a whole bunch of new Christmas presents when you can go for a ride in a laundry basket? :0) Mackenzee and Paige were being super silly together.


Talon got this new wicked awesome electric drum set that Riley was super excited about. The kids had a lot of fun trying out the different sounds and making up songs. Mackenzee was the dancing entertainment....
