Aunt Kristy giving Chase anything he wants
We loved having the Lambs stay with us. We really loved that it was a holiday weekend so they could stay an extra day! We love you guys!

14 hours of work, destroyed...

All my hard work and imagination gone just like that! So Sad...

Welcome to the Dunes...

We were so excited to spend the New Year Holiday at the dunes with some of Stevens family. It is no secret that the dunes is one of our favorite places to be. Our kids live for riding. It was a great way to ring in the New Year. There were lots of cousins, lots of food, plenty of things to ride, lots of campfires, good conversations, a few bumps and bruises, lots of laughs, night rides, limited showers, awesome rides from Paul in his rail, and plenty of girl talks with my fabulous sister in laws. It was 3 days of non stop fun! PS: A BIG thank you to my sister Kristy and her family for watching Chase. It really was so nice to not have to worry about Chase getting plowed over by something. You guys are the BEST!
We had a blast with John and his family, Robert and his family, the Breinholt family, the Snyder family, mom and dad, and Paul...
This New Years is definitely one of my top 3. You can't beat sitting on top of a dune in a razor with this handsome guy at midnight!



Mikelle had a little incident with a bar on the ranger...
Girls ride...
Boys ride...



This is my FAVORITE! Paul sure knows how to take you for a ride!
Most of the time you'll find Steven here. Tinkering around with all the quads.
Breakfast of champions...






Happy New Year!!!

Gotta Love Cousins...


Happy Birthday Dad!!!

I was so glad that we were in the valley over my dad's birthday. I loved being able to wish him Happy birthday in person and give him a great big hug instead of just a phone call. My dad is the greatest. I don't think I truly figured that out until I was married and started a family of my own. I then realized what a strength he is in my life and what a great example he is to me. All those times in my teenage years when I thought he was being mean, he was really just loving me and wanting what was best for me. I love you dad! Happy Birthday!

Christmas...

Santa came and presents are under the tree!
The kids were so excited to run through the paper




Chase was more excited about his candy than anything else
Let the opening begin...
Cute slippers from Aunt Jodi!

Just the girls going to Disney on Ice. We are so excited!






Both girls have practically begged us all December to PLEASE get them new batteries for their bumper cars for Christmas. Their begging was heard and they were stoked!
The only thing I wanted for Christmas. A charm bracelet representing my kids. I LOVE IT! Thanks Babe!
The crazy aftermath...
Enjoying Christmas Breakfast!
