Dew Tour

So this last weekend we headed up to Snow Basin for the Dew Tour to watch the snowboarding super pipe!  My sister Bekah's husband Jon works up there and got us the hook up!  We were able to go to the very top of the pipe and behind the boundaries.  We were right were they drop into the pipe.  It was so cool to see the riders talent in person.  It really is amazing what they can do!

It order to get on the top we had to hike up the pipe.  It was really steep, really slick and long!  Brantley did amazing!!!  He climbed up all on his own without falling once.  He did a lot better then I did for sure!

On the top!!!

Riders getting ready to go

Bekah took Brantley up to where the riders were hanging out tell it was their time to ride.  They had hot chocolate and talked to some of the riders including Louie Vito who was the guy who took first place!

Dropping into the pipe

Amazing tricks!!

Brantley and Bekah coming down from hanging with the riders.  When it was over and we headed back down, it was so steep that we ended up sliding on our butts to get down.  There were several people that lost control (including me) and ended up running into each other.  It was pretty crazy how fast we got going!

Brantley didn't have enough and as we were walking to the car he had to climb up one last hill and roll down it.  Funny kid!!

Boys will be Boys...Right?

The other day I sent Brantley in to make his bed and clean up his room and apparently he had his own way that he wanted  to do things.  When he came out from cleaning he would just start giggling for no reason.  I kept asking him what was so funny and he kept telling me nothing.  He did this for an hour off and on.  Well bed time came and when I walked into his room he started making fart noises and laughing sooo hard!!!  I turned around and asking him what was so funny and he told me that is animals were farting on me!  He had set all of his animals on his bed with their butts up in that air so that when someone walked by them they would "fart" on them.   Were does he come up with these things?  Silly Boy!!! 

Mrs. Cavanaugh's

So this month Brantley's preschool had their second field trip and it was to Mrs. Cavanaugh's factory.  I've got to say he was really excited about this one but it definitely was not the funnest field trip.  They watched 4 short shows and looked through glass windows.  That was about it.  All of the kids were getting pretty bored.  Brantley's favorite part was they showed an I Love Lucy episode and Brantley thought it was hysterical!  I've got to say though I enjoyed watching Brantley interact with his classmates.  He has definitely made some friends and it was cute watching them play.  And they got two pieces of chocolate out of it.  Score!!  

Waiting to everyone to get there and for the tour to begin...Goofs!! 

Busted!!  He was trying to get out of watching the second show.  Got to love that little smirk of his.  :-)

His class

Snow!

So finally in January we got a snow storm!  It wasn't much, but it was enough for the kids to go out and play in it and have some fun building a snowman and having snow ball fights.  Lincoln and Elsie helped us with the snowman.  Don't you think they did a great job?  Way to go kids! 

A little down...

Poor little Lilley!!  She was feeling a little crappy this day.  I felt so bad!  She slept most of the day and just was not wanting to do anything but sleep or snuggle.  I've got to admit it though.  I enjoy these moments because of all the snuggling I get and I don't feel guilty that I didn't get anything done that day since I was taking care of her.  The next day though she woke up and was ready to play.  Must have just been a 24 hr bug.

The Grandparents Houses

So after opening up presents at home we headed over to the St.Jeors house to open more!  Then have breakfast. 

This is Lilley's new favorite baby.  She LOVES her babies!

One of the favorite gifts for Brantley. 

Great Grandma Egger's was able to come and spend Christmas with all of us.  It was real nice to have her there.

Sitting her babies up so that she could go eat Breakfast.

Emma and Megan So cute!!

Grandma telling us about our kitchen  "do dawes" she always gets us

Lilley got a pillow pet from Liza that is bigger then her and Lilley got Jennae and regular size pillow pet. Lilley was very happy that her pillow pet was bigger then Jennaes...too funny!

Aunt Candace

He had a lot of fun shooting his Captain America shield

He thought it was cool to shoot it into the fan and see where it went.  haha.

It was a GREAT Christmas!!!!



Christmas Morning

Awww Christmas morning.  I've always loved Christmas.  The visiting family, presents, food, and the magic that is always there.  I never thought that it could get better when I was a kid.  Man I was wrong!  There is nothing better then seeing that same magic that you experienced as a kid in the eyes of your kids.  It seriously is the best thing!  I LOVE Christmas!  Brantley was so excited and couldn't stop talking about how excited he was that Santa was coming and he got Lilley really excited about it too.  It was awesome!

I was so mad that I forgot my camera on Christmas Eve!  But, the kids got their PJ's and we all have a great time and had amazing food like always.  That night Brantley was so amped that I thought for sure that it was going to be a while tell he fell asleep but he kept telling himself that if he doesn't fall asleep Santa can't come.  So when he hit his pillow he was out!  We had everything wrapped so all we had to do is haul it all in and set it up and we were in bed by 11:30.  To bad the kids kept waking up all night!  Lilley woke up at 1 and 5 and Brantley woke up at 5:30 but we told him that he had to go back to bed cause Santa hadn't come yet.   Brantley finally came into our room for the last time at 6:30 and we kept him there trying to hold him back tell Lilley woke up but we ended up giving up and waking Lilley up at 7:00.  I just loved watching them.  Just amazing.  I am bummed though that for some reason my pictures didn't turn out the best.  I don't know why but a lot were kinda blurry.  Such a bummer!  But I did a few good ones. 

Santa Came!!

These were my project this year.  I made these little art desks! 

Right before heading out to see if Santa came

The haul all opened up.  Man they got spoiled!!!!
