Hunter LOVES to ski!!

Hunter can eat and eat and eat after a 1/2 day of skiing - he

can't eat anything though unless it is accompanied by chocolate milk.

What a cutie!

Hunter begs to stay and ski "in the darkness" . . .but, his mom is totally

worn out after the day shift is over.

Hunter's 5th B-day! Is he only 5 now?? Seems like he should be 15!

My good friend Karen and little Scottie (Hunter's best friend!)


Uhh, Dewey - yeah, that's pizza sauce on your face -

They LOVE Chuck-E-Cheese (I actually enjoy a good game of air hockey myself - who doesn't?? Plus, I can beat Andrew any day of the week in a game of skee ball or hoops. Any day . . .)

XMAS '09

Andrew gave me some Yukon snow shoes to use on the nordic trails at Bogus; I gave

him some binoculars for our next trip to Yellowstone . . .let's see - the boys - TOYS, TOYS,

TOYS. Too many trains and transformers.

TRIUMPH on Wolfe Creek Mountain!!!!! Sort of . . .

Okay . . .so, it is the easiest bunny hill in all of Utah - but still - I'm 33! So give

me a break - I succumbed to the taunting and put on the board. Thankfully - I also put

on Matt's old football shorts complete with pads. They saved my hips and tailbone - that's for sure! After3 hours on the mountain at just 4 degrees (no wind thankfully) I left w/pride and a lot of ibuprofen!! Thanks Mark - you were an awesome teacher bro! PS - I tackled Bogus Basin on my snowboard this past weekend - and for my second time wasn't too shabby :-) Now I'm torn - do I love my snow blades, ski's, board, or nordic sticks the best???? Ahhh, probably the snow blades for now until the snowboarding becomes easier.

December '09

After a long day I get to enjoy shaving my legs with a bunch of race cars. It's the bomb.

Of course, it's Darlene Robinson again - need you really ask?? Who else

would deliver such a masterpiece like 20 days before XMAS?? I think she

manufactured like 200 of these in her spare time. Really - must the bar be raised to the

height of this immaculate homemade gingerbread house???

I'm just thrilled because Andrew eventually got this tree through the front door - and

nothing weird from mother nature is living in it :-)

Fall pics

The new insulated garage doors . . .we'll see if they work. At least we'll get Obama's
fabulous energy efficient tax credit. I think that's all we'll get out of Obama - can't wait till he's gone forever!!!!! Oh wait, our world will be gone before he is at this horrific rate of climate change we're experiencing . . .okay, that's the last of my political ranting for today - promise:-)


Raking up all the leaves w/the snowshovel - what a helper!




Biker boys - they love their helmets!!!!!!!!!




Connor's 3rd birthday! Thomas the Train - what a surprise!! It's only
the millionth Thomas we have at our house now.








Isn't this the same as last year's Halloween?? Yes -
totally! They didn't want to be anything different. Sammy,
Julie and Brian Hess all came over again for chili and chaos.

Dough days

When are these kids going to be in school????

I swear it feels like kindergarten should have happened like

three years ago . . .all these winter b-days :-(
