Avalanche Winter Indoor - 1st Place

These girls are rockin the world.

1st place...again.

If you aren't having fun...what's the point?

Go Avalanche!

Google Earth

Maddie's friends found Grandpa Ken on Google Earth.

I think this might just make him famous.  Only time will tell.  

All gone

Um, Aunt Holly...we are all out of jam.

HELP!

Gracie...the Polyg

The higher the hair...the closer to God, right?  I think that's how the story goes.  

Guess I need to freshen up on my polyg phrases.

How to Make a Snowman. By: Aeva Haun

Doesn't get much better than this...

President's Cup

Gracie's soccer team headed down to Mesquite for the President's Cup. You wouldn't know it from the pictures...not one single pic with a soccer ball in it. We were too busy having an amazing time...how I miss being outside!

On our way to Mesquite we stopped to redeem Maddie's report card in doughnuts!  Yep, one doughnut for every "A" up to 6.  Had I brought the report cards for Gracie and Aeva, we would have had 18 total!  Next time I will have to remember to bring them all.  Then again, we should probably make a point of NEVER having 18 doughnuts at our disposal.

Snow Canyon was our next stop!  Gracie can climb any rock as long as Maddie is there to give her a boost.  Then I had to boost Maddie...good team work.

Jenny's Canyon.  The first slot canyon my kids have been in.  We need more of this!

We reached the back and had nowhere to go.  

Then we headed for the lava tubes.  Yep...lava!  I told Gracie to hop in the hole.  She is not impressed with our idea of climbing down into Middle Earth where the bats live.  Maddie seems ok with the idea.

Now Gracie is deciding that this might be fun. 

Now we have to get back out...

That night, we broke out the tennis rackets.  Our talent and "form" tends to get lost in the winter months of Northern Utah.  

Yep, missed that one.

At least we have fun looking like complete amateurs.

Found this lovely saying on my Grandmas (my mom's mom) fridge.  Guess she didn't like her kids as much as I like mine...sorry mom.  

Leave it to me to find shaved ice in the middle of winter.  Scrumptious.

For our final act of indestructibility...we will eat crab legs until we die.

Followed by ice cream.

And fruit.

God bless America and all of the holidays that come with it!

Aeva's Dream

If only it were that easy...

New Movies

I'm proud to say that we haven't seen too many movies of late. These are the two that we happened to see.

If you can't tell, we go for the popcorn.  If you go to the movies with your grandparents and aunts, you get their popcorn refills too!

The only way I can justify consuming entire cubes of butter.

The Ice Sheet - Take 2

We headed back to the Ice Sheet for another try at ice skating.  We MIGHT be getting a little better.

OSSO Fundraiser

Orphanage Support Services Organization helps fund orphanages in Ecuador. This is dear to my heart because I served my mission in Ecuador.  They are in need of funding and had a fundraise at the Pizza Pie Cafe.  We were honored to support them.

Gracie was a big supporter of the Oreo pizza.

Aeva preferred the breadsticks.

There is only so much pizza one person can handle.  Aeva was the first to give up.

May OSSO receive the funding they need to continue their efforts!  Maybe we can get ourselves to Ecuador and help them.  Wish it was a little closer.
