Winter Fun!

This year we went to play in the snow like we do every year... We stay in Pinedale of course, and we go to the gravel pits up by Sunriseto sled. This time I wasn't pregnant so I could sled to!

Tyler used 2 sleds and skied down the hill...

William was cold...

Our little snow bunny!

Ashley wasn't into sledding, but she loves taking pictures!

We warmed up inside and passed the time playing Guitar Hero World Tour. This is probably the only time you'll ever see Kelly playing a video game! Look at that concentration!

I love playing it too! Ashley is especially into it, she's a guitar hog! The Nelson's also came up for a day, I don't have pics of them, but they did get to sled w/ us. Overall, we had lots of fun!

Kaytlyn got it for Christmas and Mark got the drums for his Birthday now the entire family rocks. I am sure my face looks alot like Kelly's when I play!; April 13, 2009 at 10:18 PM

Joanne

I'm 30'ish and I share many of the qualities that Kelly has, except that I'm not stubborn (don't laugh)... okay, I am stubborn, but in a good way. After being a stepmom for 8 years and a "Mommy" for 3+ years I'm finally getting the hang of the whole Mom thing... most of the time! I love the children and I can't imagine life any other way. I enjoy building my own business, creating wedding flowers satisfys my artistic side. Besides, all those school days comments like "does not play well with others", and "tries to be the boss/teacher" leads me to believe that self-employment is the path for me.

Ashley

Ashley (16), is now a well-established, full-fledged teenager. She seems to be missing many of the negative teen characteristics as she is becoming increasingly pleasant to be around the older she gets. Her stubborness (hmmm... where did she get that... DAD!) seems to fly under the radar lately. She's cute, smart, boy-crazy (sorry Ashley, it's just true), and talented. I would list all her activities, but since she turned 16 I think the one that takes priority is BOYS! Oh, and she's learning to drive... you've all been warned...

Tyler

Tyler is 15 and he seems to have turned from boy to young man overnight. He's into Scouts, friends, and his church calling. Girls have discovered how cute he is and we think he's really beginning to enjoy that. We're just hoping he can stay as humble as his Dad did over the years (HA!). Tyler is a good kid, and I'd like to say more... but while writing this I've realized that I haven't gotten to know him since his boy to man transition... so I will have to surgically remove his IPod from his ears so that I can talk to him more.

Niels

Niels has finally reached teen status. He's part "middle child" and part "youngest child" because he's the youngest of the first 3 siblings, yet he has another younger brother, Zack, at his Mom's house, and of course the 2 baby brothers here at our house. He's in limbo between "boy" and "young man". He is our compassionate soul and always has been (this excludes his experiments with bugs, hairspray, and lighters... because he is, after all, a boy). He's great with the babies and they adore him. He likes Scouts, camping, and boy stuff...

William

At 4, we can already tell that William is going to be a handful. He's smart, and oh so stubborn! I have my work cut out for me here! He reminds me of a younger Ashley when he sits with a bite of food in his mouth for an hour because he won't eat it. It's been speculated that perhaps his character is my doing because I spoiled my first baby... but I promise he was born this way. I adore him and the two of us are going to have quite a time over the next years, because I'm determined that I'm more stubborn than he is! He's so very cute, and active... part monkey just like his older brothers, he can climb anything. He loves to help around the house and takes care of his baby sister Brianna when he & Lynden aren't causing havoc!

Lynden

Sweet little Lynden is almost 3 now! He's a happy little guy unless he's throwing a fit. He's a comedian and we can't figure out where he learns his antics, he's always making faces and loves it when he gets a laugh. I didn't have to baby-proof the house much... until he came along... he breaks everything! He leaves a path of destruction in his wake that rivals Sherman! When he's upset, everyone knows it because he can scream louder than all of us put togethor, and I'm really not exaggerating...
