The Sledding Mis-hap.

It was a nice snowy day here in Ucon, Idaho when our family decided to go to the Ucon "pit" and go sledding. Lillie went down a couple of times, but wasn't so sure.

Dustin decided to give it a whirl.

:)

So after that I was debating on going down myself, but the 7 year old kid next to me was talking smack, so based solely on peer pressure.... I went. I screamed louder than any other 13 year old, Curve smelling, push-up bra wearing middle-school girl there, thank you very much.

Overall it was a fun 35 minute outing. We had some good laughs, and some good cries (just Lillie, Dustin wanted to clarify). Can't wait until it snows again! I might be going by myself next time.

We ran out of Mt. Dew.

For New Years we went over to Amber and Che's with Tyson and Alli and had a fun time. It was weird, we were over there for 5 1/2 hours but it felt like 2 hours. It went by so fast! We (as the title suggests) ran out of Mt. Dew, but feasted on pizza, chocolate fondue, and chips, and all other kinds of junk food.

We watched a few episodes of "Friends."

Happy New Year! 2010!

"Is there sugar in syrup? Then yes!"

Lots of fun treats at Christmas! The above picture is of Cooper, Kate, and Lillie "helping" me make jam thumbprints. The picture below is of my sister and her girls (and Lillie) decorating some gingerbread men.

Alyse turns 2 this month, but Dana had her party a few weeks early while family was in town. It was Monkey theme, and Alyse loved it, I think!

Below: Gramps (Dustin's dad) made this beautiful quilt for Jack! He makes a quilt for all of the grandchildren. I'm sure Jack will love it for years to come.

And last but not least... our snowman. It took forever to make, but it was well worth it. My memories of making snowmen growing up were always happy ones, I guess my dad was doing all the work or something because building a snowman is so hard!

"Hey check it out, it's old man Marley."

We had a great Christmas! Lillie loved her Elmo, Jack got some baby toys, Dustin got me an ENV3 cell phone (along with a mandolin, pillows, a teapot and a bathrobe that I love), and I got Dustin an iHome. We loved seeing all our family that came into town! Enjoy the pictures from the special day.

It was a mess!
