Snowmobiling at Daniels Summit, Utah

Chris and I went snowmobiling for the first time in our lives. I’ll never know why it has taken us 28/29 years to discover this enormous amount of fun. If I lived in a snow-friendly environment, you bet your butt that I’d own a pair of snowmobiles. Seriously, Chris and I had more laugh-out-loud, adrenaline rushing, heart pumping, wind in your face fun than we’ve ever experienced. And boy was that wind ever COLD! Chris’s iPod actually froze half way through the day! But we were having so much fun that it was easy to forget the nip in the air. The trails took us up to 10,000 feet high! We had beautiful views the whole way, but they were especially breathtaking at the summit.

Evening at Daniels Summit Lodge, Utah

After our play date with the mountain, we reluctantly turned our snowmobiles in and headed to our room at the Daniel’s Summit Lodge. Feeling giddy and on our natural high, we enjoyed the rest of our evening with dinner and having fun our own quirky way. It was a day to remember. It also was an amazing place to wake up on my birthday.

Snowboarding at Brighton, Utah

My dad was also in Utah the same time that we were. So, we met up at Brighton for a day to shred the mountain together. It snowed most of the day, but other than that, we had a fun time!

Visiting my sister and her family in Santaquin, Utah

Carey, Lucy & Londyn
Chris and I visited the Penhallegon family on my birthday. Londyn and Adam gave us a tour of their farm animals in the back yard. We had so much fun playing with the kids. My sister, Courtney made a yummy Lasagna dinner and 2 birthday ice cream cakes! Londyn, Adam and Lucy provided after dinner entertainment filled with dance, singing and instrument playing. I miss my sister and her family so much. It was a wonderful birthday present to be with them.

Preparing for snow

Chris and I are taking a trip to Utah next week. We were sorting through our snow clothes and Boston had the best time trying them on.

Boston's Haircut

Boston holding a bag full of his newly departed locks. (and no, Boston does NOT always look like a demon child. His forced smile always looks this way. We're working on it)

After looking at Christmas pictures, I noticed that my child's hair was truly getting out of control. Isn't that funny how you can see something every day but the second you see it in a photo, you see it in a different way. So, I decided that Boston needed a new do, and I took it upon myself to cut Boston's hair off. It was quite an adventure because 2-year olds don't sit still for very long. Somehow we managed. I think next time I'll use clippers for a quicker and even cut.
