Finally a little Snow

We finally got a few inches of snow and were able to go out in the back yard and play in it. We have a small hill in our back yard and it made a great sledding hill for us. We all had a great time in the snow!

Happy New Year!

We had a great time bringing in the New Year. Our neighbors, the Macum’s invited us over to their house to celebrate. My Mom and James came over and we took these fun pictures and then we all went to the party together. It was a great time!

The Crazy Christmas Holidays

December was a very busy and exciting month for us. We had several family parties, work parties, friend parties, Darin’s birthday and of course had to prepare for Santa to come. I guess you could say I am a Bah humbug, because I don’t like Christmas and would rather go on vacation =). This year was different than most. Maybe because Grey is getting older and really starting to enjoy things or because things went a little smoother than normal. For the first time in about 10 years, I had both of my parents under the same roof on Christmas morning. I’m might have to wait another 10 years for it to happen again, but it was wonderful. We hosted a Christmas Eve dinner at our place. Some of our neighbors, family and friends came over for a yummy dinner and some holiday cheer. Jaret and my dad spent the night and at 7:30 AM Rick and my mom and James were at the front door ready to go. We woke Grey up and he was so excited to see what Santa had brought him. After presents we were off to Grandma Scott’s to open gifts and have lunch with all of the cousins. Rick made some great tacos and we quickly dove into the gifts. Then back home to our house with just enough time to have a quick nap and then head to Uncle Mike and aunt Tunie’s house for dinner and another round of presents.  Greydon got a ton of presents and it would be impossible to list them all. He really liked his leather recliner, Train table, new soft blankie and little tyke’s castle. He even got a leap frog electronic game to help him learn his letters.

 Shopping for a Christmas Tree

Grey got some money in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa Great Woodman. He was so excited! We put it in his piggy bank until he is old enough to spend it.

A few fun random pics

Darin's 30th Birthday!

Darin turned the big 30 on December the 5^th. I had planned a surprise birthday dinner for him at Roosters Brewery in Ogden. It was fantastic! So many great friends were able to make it and celebrate with us. In fact, 25 people in all!. Darin said he figured I had something up my sleeve but he was still surprised to see how many people came to dinner. It made him feel great!

Darin got a new shop vac for his birthday. Grey was a great help in putting it together.

Happy Birthday Darin! You are a wonderful husband, friend and father!

Finding Snow

We went on another adventure to our family cabin in Alta, WY. I have felt a little disappointed that we have not had any snow so far this year. Well, we found PLENTY of snow in Alta. In fact we had to cut our getaway short in order to beat the worst of the storm and get home safely. It snowed about 24 inches in two days. Here are some fun pics.

We had to shovel and shovel to get the Kia out of the driveway. 

Playing games and watching movies.

A late Halloween post

Greydon wanted to be Supper Goof for Halloween. It took some creativeness and some sewing, but Darin and I pulled it off. He looked so cute!

 We had a great Halloween this year. It was so much fun to watch Greydon get excited over the parties and trick or treating.  We went to a party at the Glaer’s one night. It was a blast! They had a piñata, cupcake decorating and treat bag’s for all the kids. Greydon really had fun. The following Sunday we went to Diana’s for a party with the cousins. They all looked so cute in there costumes. Halloween was on Monday so Greydon got to have a party at his school and then come home, carve pumpkins and go trick or treating.
