Hitting the Slopes

**I am itching to post about resolutions and organization ideas I have started for the New year--but I just have to finish up with all the fun from our trip to Utah first:)

The boys didn't let the complete lack of snow on the ground around town, or the reports that it was the driest December on record for Utah stop them from hitting the slopes for their much anticipated ski days.  

When we moved to Tennessee we left our skis in Grandpa and Grandma's garage with promises of ski trips to Utah.  And we have kept that promise--even this year with not the best (terrible) conditions.

Connor outgrew his skis and TJ wanted to snowboard this year, so a stop for rentals was the first order of business.

 Even though the locals called the snow horrible this year (mostly man made) our boys thoughts it was AWESOME!!  I guess they are officially 'Southerners' now:)

Bridger skied for the first time. 

 I didn't go (since Cannon doesn't ski yet--I stayed with him) but I hear that Bridger was a natural. After a half day of ski school he was off--flying down the mountain, er I mean bunny hill, with no problems:)

 The perfect ending to a warmish and happy day of skiing--Frozen Yogurt with lots of toppings!

Yum!

Big Boys Ski Trip

This is a shot from Brad's phone:)

While the little boys and I were enjoying record high warm weather in Tennessee, Brad and the big boys were enjoying fresh snow in Utah.

They also stopped by the old neighborhood and played a little ball with old friends. Thanks Kaley for the picture!!

We sure miss these sweet boys as neighbors!

Best of all they spent Easter with Grandma and Grandpa and all their Utah Aunts, Uncles and cousins. They had sooo much fun! Anyone want to email me some pictures of the get together? Mindy?? Mom??

They are home now but are still talking about their awesome trip to Utah! What a treat! I will be there myself for BYU Women's Conference in 3 weeks---I CAN NOT WAIT:) yipee!

PS

It is Spring Break here---so sorry but I am taking a break from planning my Menu Monday:) And having no menu plan is not going too well--so next week I will back on!

Wolf Creek Getaway

We packed up our boys (and all their skiis) and took off on our yearly (as of the last 4 years) March getaway last weekend. Destination WOLF CREEK, for some relaxation, family time, hot tubing...and SKIING!

The slopes were GREAT!

Connor and TJ on the lift

Go Coleman!!

The hot tub was WONDERFUL!

AND the we introduced the older boys to the fine game of MONOPOLY!

FUN TIMES!
