Skiing

We borrowed some skis from our friends the Rushtons for our school ski program. We look forward to it every year. This year we thought we would get some for Hunter to practice on. He thought it was great as long as one of us was right at his side and pulling him up the hill. Thank goodness we live close to a little hill that they could break into skiing gently. This was Lindsey and Hunters first year. Lindsey made it to the big mountain. Hunter made it in the back yard.

Great form Hunter.

Jason out helping Hunter up the hill.

This skiing thing is a piece of cake. Keep pushing Dad.

2011!

January starts off our basketball season. Megan loves basketball!! Jason was her coach. He does such an awesome job! She had a blast and is getting to be a real good ball player and fun to watch.

Megan dribbling as always with her tongue out. It helps balance her out.

Lindsey #7

Our Lindsey turned 7 this year!! I cannot believe it. She is so fun and sweet. She brings such a fun light to our home. I don't know what we would do without her. Happy Birthday Lindsey!

Lindsey at her birthday breakfast, pancakes!

Blow out the candle.

This is the cake that she picked out. I thought it appropriate for the season.

It is time to start singing and then open presents.

Blow out the candles.

Time for presents.

I just had to add in this letter. Dallee Jo brought this over for Lindsey. Too cute!

Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve Tubing!!

This year we of course had our annual "Christmas Eve Tubing" event. It was a funner year than years in the past. Because, not only did we get to have Justin and Emily and their family here, but we also were able to have my brother Bradey and his family here. They moved up here to North Powder a week or two before Christmas. We are so excited that they are living here so close to us!! Here are some pictures of the fun event.
