Some of the pictures that Makenna took under water

We decided to make a last minute trip

to Colorado to visit Blake and La-Shana and watch Blake play basketball. We stayed in Fruita this time at a La Quinta because their swimming pool is indoors. When we arrived the first thing Makenna and Hunter did was find out what room Drew and Barret ( Blake's Nephews) were staying in and persuaded them to go swimming. Dad had bought a new underwater camera and wanted to try it out, so Makenna is taking pictures of everyone underwater and it also takes video pretty cool contraption.

After we watching Blake's game that evening we all decided to eat at Texas Roadhouse with Blake's parents, his Aunt Doreen and his Brother Mason and of course Drew and Barret.

It was a fun evening and we look forward to our next trip out there.

Had no idea that the indoor pool wasn't heated.

They took this picture cause Makenna wanted it as her wallpaper on her laptop

Here you can barely see her, but La-Shana is under that pile. Don't remember why, but Drew,Barrett, Hunter and Makenna attacked La-Shana. Below is the first opportunity to use the waterproof camera so it may be blurry, shaky but a lot of fun.

Snow Snow and still more snow

Hunter, Makenna and Mikey built this slide with a ramp, that runs the full length of our back yard and through the backyard of the home below our home.

Blake & La-Shana visit

We are completely filled to the brim with moms cooking, the best we could do is to watch movies and sleep.
There is so much snow outside, we were not leaving the house, not even for all the sales that were going on.

La-Shana and Bo, the new addition to our family.

Here are our eldest children. Just glad that they made the trip home this year.

A couple days after Christmas the kids were able to travel home for the holidays. Always eventful when we are all together.

This year we spent more time relaxing at home.

And more relaxing

Christmas Eve

Well it's that time of the year, where we should have the birth of Christ on our mind and all that transpired cause of his coming. Instead we are so concerned with what we are going to receive from our loved ones. Anyway this Christmas Eve we decided to have each family bring their favourite soup, then have game night the rest of the evening. The evening was a blast and went relatively well for our family.

Lounging around and relaxing consumed the rest of the evening
