Skiing

This last weekend we headed up to White Pines Ski resort over in Pinedale, WY.  Kaden couldn't wait to hit the slopes again for the second time.  Sydney was excited to try it for her first time, she was especially excited about riding the lift.  They both had a blast. We all had a few good wrecks except for Kiley, and we left tired and exhausted.  

Christmas Break

As usual Christmas Break flew by.  We started off trying our hand at ice skating.  It was a little rough at first but eventually we started to get the hang of it.   

Christmas Eve we headed out for a morning pheasant hunt. Kiley shot one and missed one.  

 Christmas morning finally came and Sydney and Kaden could hardly contain themselves.  They both must have been good because santa for some reason didn't skip our house.  We also woke up to a fresh blanket of snow. 

 The day after Christmas we headed to Cedar City.  We saw Grandparents and spent a lot of time sledding and hanging out with cousins.

Christmas Programs

Sydney and Kaden both had Christmas programs this week.  Sydney had her annual band Christmas concert.  We were excited to hear her play her solo that she had worked really hard on.

 Kaden also had his winter concert.  He was a little embarrassed because of some of the dancing he had to do, but he survived.

Halloween

Halloween was filled with all of the usual festivities we carved pumpkins, Kaden had a school costume parade and of course we hit quit a few houses trick or treating.  It took Kaden about a month to finally figure out what he wanted to be. We went from Army guy, to homeless person, and then Luke Skywalker and then we finally ended on Batman.  He made a good choice.  Sydney knew from the beginning that she wanted to be a ninja.  She pulled it off nicely. 

We went trick or treating with the Walker clan.

Saturday morning Sydney and I participated in our first 5K Pumpkin run sponsered by the High School cross country Team.  Sydney took first in her age group and won a pumpkin pie.  It was a beautiful morning for a run.

Homecoming Parade

Sydney was able to march in her first Parade this last week.  It was Riverton High Schools Homecoming. Kaden's school also was able to line up along the parade route.  He had fun cheering her on.

A few House pictures and a little X-country.

Sydney had another X-country meet, this week they hosted their home meet.  Sydney ran a great race, she  took 13th out of 120.  The girls were also able to pull off a win, with Syd taking 3rd for her team. We are very proud of her she has worked really hard.

 We have also been able to settle into the house.  We only have a few boxes left to unpack, slowly we are finding places for everything.  We also have a lot of finish work that needs to be done.  

House Update

We have had a few people ask to see updated pictures of the house.  Here is an exterior view.  Pictures of the inside hopefully will be soon to come.
