Playing with the new toys

Ahh, the joy of parenting...toys that require"some assembly". Alex got this Kenex Roller Coaster that stands 5 ft tall! Took 3 days to actually build the dang thing. Needless to say, itys the funnest stuff we got...Plus all pics are taken on my new camera :) alex too to Othello like a champ and beat Cristy right out of teh gate. Smart kid.


 

Family Photos

We finally got the pics back after a couple of months and we love them. The one of all of us sits over the mantle now. I hated spending the money but it seems to be worth it. We needed these to capture all of us at this point in our lives. 

Hard Rockin Guitar Heroes

I got a Guitar Heroe game for my BD this year and it is so much fun. We have all become addicted to it, including the kids. Alex and Wes love to jam when they can and Max likes to get into the mix. Needless to say, Cristy is by far the best in the house. It must come fromall those years of being a GNR junkie.
 

We're going riding on the Polar Express

The Heber City Historic Railroad puts on a Polar Express trip every year. This is an absolute blast since my kids love the PoleEx. They serve hot chocolate, have a Conductor and Santa is picked up in the middle of a snow covered valley about 30 min into the wilderness. His sleigh is having issues and he needs a lift. Finally, he meets all the children and gives them a silver bell. It was so much fun and the kids loved it so much. Looks like we are starting a new tradition.

 

More Powell pics

 

Fun on Lake Powell

This actually went down in Oct but I forgot to post the pics. My bro has a house boat on the lake and the clan gathered. We had a blast. We fished, skied, and tubed. The boys had a knock off challenge and it was pretty brutal. My bro Robby and I were thrown from the tubes at ~35-40 mph and it HURT. We did get it on video and I truly skipped across the water n my face! All in all, we had an absolute blast.
