"I wanna make a snowman"

This is what we heard most of the way to Utah. Corbin was so excited to see the snow, he could barely think of anything else but making a snow man. So here is our beautiful snowman (if you could see it better you would see it is Jay Lenno)

So fun. Corbin couldn't resist making funny faces
We went out to Uncle Don's to do some sledding and 4-wheeling. They were pulling sleds around on their Rhino. We all had a great time. I really do miss Utah's mountains.
Fake Sledding Field Trip
I had to throw in a few more pictures of Corbin's class Field Trip to mount Aggie. I don't know if I have mentioned that Texans are obsessed with snow. They have a hill on campus covered with white slippery turf. You can come here to sled or to take skiing lessons. How you can learn to ski on a hill that small is beyond me, but the kids did have fun sledding. The upside, you can go year round, and it isn't cold.
Whee!!!

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

We did an improv Christmas the day before we left to Utah. Most of the boys Christmas was Clothes to wear in Utah. So I wrapped it up and put it under the tree before packing it all.
Getting out the Christmas Stuff Corbin found his ornament from last Christmas that sings "I wanna Hippopotamus for Christmas. They wanted to play with it nonstop.
They got to play with their new toys for a few hours at least before we left.
Helping make and eat Christmas Cookies

The boys did amazingly well on the drive. I think it helped to have surprises to open on the twenty-five hour drive to Grandma'sThe boys were so excited when we started seeing snow. This was at the first gas station with snow. They just had to play in it. This is Corbin freaking out when he realized how cold it was
They were very glad when we finally made it. So were Mom and Dad. We stayed at my sister's house in Spanish Fork. I am glad we could, I don't think I have felt that exhausted in a long time. I wouldn't have made it another hour or so. Corbin started crying half and hour before we got to Andrea's. He demanded we let him out of the car. He was done riding and just wanted to be at Grandma's RIGHT NOW. He was too tired to cry long, and was asleep before we got there.

The next afternoon we went to stay with the Redd's for a week.

Out of the Loop again

We just made it back from a nice Christmas Vacation with Family in Utah. IT was nice to get to see family and friends. Life has just been so crazy it was nice to get away. Unfortunatly we lost out camera, AGAIN. I don't have many pictures to show for all our fun. Corbin was so excited to play in the snow. The first chance he got to touch some though he started crying because it was "too cold!" We did manage to make a Jay Leno snowman that all the kids had fun decorating. We went sledding and all the fun snow stuff. We spent alot of time playing with cousins. I got to see friends from school days that I have not seen in a long time. It was all really good.

Now I am back home, I don't know how much blogging I will be doing. Andrew is graduating in May and is busy Job Hunting. It is an exciting and stressful time. Who knows what changes the near future has in store for our family.

If I get some pictures I will try to find time to post them on here

I hope your holidays were wonderful too.
