Chet's first time skiing!!!

We all headed up to Hodoo for the 25th with Uncle Ryan, Tia, Zoe and Kaia, Tia's family, and Auntie Angie and Scott! It was such a fun day together! Chet and Zoe went skiing for the first time, and they both did so good! It was SO fun going down the slope with Chet! He did awesome!!! After the second time going down the bunny slope he wanted to do it all by himself, and he did, and he did excellent!! It was so fun!! We cannot wait to go again!!

Yah for Chet! =D

We are SO excited that Auntie Angie is getting married to Scott, June 24th!!! Scott is such a wonderful guy! The boys love him so much, and even wanted Scott to stay in their room with them for the night instead of Auntie Angie! That says a lot! =D We are so happy to have him as part of the family!!!

Cabo San Lucas!

We loved sooo much going on a trip to Cabo San Lucas with Russ and Alesha E. the middle of December!! We all enjoyed the warm sunshine, relaxing, and seeing the special friends down there again! What a fun trip it was together! =)

Eating at 'The Office' (hard at work!) with our feet in the sand looking at the ocean! Wonderful!!

Alesha and I loved going on walks on the beach! What a wonderful setting and place to get in a little exercise! We even found a whole sea horse washed up on the sand! What a neat find!

We enjoyed eating at Brasil's one night! It was delicious as always and very fun!
