Hardware Ranch

On Saturday we all went to Hardware Ranch up in Logan. We had the best time! We met at Eiko's house for lunch, went to Hardware Ranch, and then went back to Eiko's house for dinner. It was a full day and was lots of fun!

Looking at the elk at Hardware Ranch

Look at all the elk! There's around 500 at the ranch. It was neat to be so up close to them! What a beautiful day it was to spend outside!

Slam Dunk!

Our Wesley is quite the little athlete! He skiis, swims, does karate, gymnastics AND he's a pro on the basketball court! We love to watch him play! He makes a slam dunk a second! Move over Michael Jordan -- you've got some stiff competition!

Our Family

Wesley isn't the only basketball star in the family. When Skylie has her pink and purple basketball, she's the Queen of the Court!

Snow Patrol

One of our favorite family Saturday activities is skiing!!! (Snowboarding for Mark :) Skylie and Wesley have such a blast going down the
tall steep mountain bunny hill. They are little pros at making the "pizza" and "french fry" with their little skis! We're so proud of our boy and our girl! Look at them go!!!

Sometimes Uncle Jayson comes with us too, which is always such a treat. Wesley is his little pal!

I love this picture! We were all over at my Mom and Dad's just having a good time. I love being with my family!

Sarah's Baby Shower

On Saturday February 7th we had a baby shower for Sarah and new baby Jackson. Family showers are always so much fun! It was so great to get everyone together for the afternoon. Sarah got some really beautiful baby gifts, fun games were played (thanks to Joy!), and as always, tons of pictures were taken at the big party!

Best Christmas Ever!

Dear Santa...

A visit with Santa is always something to look forward to! Skylie and Wesley think very, very carefully about what's going on their Christmas list come December. Lucky for them, they've both been most excellent children this year!

Wesley thinking long and hard about what to ask Santa for...

He doesn't even know where to begin!

So happy together in December

Fall Leaves

The leaves here in Utah are so beautiful in the fall. Eventually, all those brilliant colored leaves fall off, and when that happens, it's time to rake them up!

(For those of you who have seen our yard, you know why it takes us hours!)

Daddy & Daughter

Crazy boys!

Family Saturday

On Saturday we went over to my parent's to celebrate my birthday, my Dad's birthday, and to see Jeremey in his cool army uniform. It was fun to all get together and for the cousins to play!
