Geoff found out that you can double a shovel as a sled with the right sized child onboard. Isaac had such a great time and I had to beg him to come inside and take a bath. Perhaps next year I will actually get snow clothes for him so he isn’t soaked through to the bone.
We had family date night at the BYU bowling alley. Isaac was given a play bowling set for christmas, so he was quite excited to do the real thing. I couldn’t get a picture of him standing still, he was running all around, chucking balls down the lane and laughing the whole time. Fun times.
I’ve finally posted pictures of my sister Emily’s bridal pictures, her wedding, and brother Seth’s wedding as well. Phew! Still a learning process for me, but overall I’m happy with the turn out. I’ve learned I take much better outdoor pictures, and that snow and a wedding isn’t ideal.

After trying my hand a couple times at cutting Isaac’s hair, I decided that Geoff should take that duty over since he cuts his own hair (what was I thinking in the first place?). Everytime Geoff cuts his hair now, Isaac also wants a haircut, with a piece of licorice of course!
I was mearly making guacamole for some taco dip at the cabin. Four stitches later and a severed nerve… I was no longer in the mood for dip. Thankfully the ER was only 2 minutes away.
Our good friends, Josh and Caroline invited us up to their family “cabin” in Mount Pleasent for New Year’s Day. It was beautiful and fun to go someplace new (aside from my incident). Isaac would not come inside. He wanted to stay on the mini tractor all day. Josh showed him how the levers worked and then he went and dug snow for a while. I went on a snowmobile for the first time and thought I saw my life flash before my eyes. Apparently their resident caretaker suped it up and now it goes over 150 mph!
Geoff and my dad took all the kids to Rock Canyon park to go sledding. It was pretty evident that it has been quite the popular sledding destination. The snow was sooo slick. They all loved it, especially Isaac since it was his first time.
Isaac, Alysee and Nate.
Yep, you read right. My crafty husband took all the kids to his building at BYU where they mixed chemicals, added color (and glitter if you were Alysee) and poured the mixture into molds. The end result was a big mess, some cool footballs, and some facinated kids…and adults lets be honest.
Isaac as a sheep in the family Christmas play.
Me as the center, and the only one in focus, eating a delicious Christmas Eve shmorgasborg, or however you spell that.
A short-lived (for our family) family iceskating activity. Isaac wasn’t a big fan of staying in the stroller.
Christmas Eve pjs!
