So I think I'm destined to have a ridiculous blog. I'm way too busy to update it as often as I'd like, when I finally update it I post one million photos to catch up on the months I've missed. My blog is so not cute & creative & it's very boring to read. Ha! So once again, I'm a month late and here come a million photos! I left for Kansas a week before Mike. While he finished up finals I was hanging with the family and getting ready for Christmas. We spent Christmas in Kansas. I of course worked on crafts, Mike hunted with the boys, we relaxed, played games, did some Christmas caroling, and decorated gingerbread houses...Jake, Lane & Ryan's house won hands down. Later we headed to Utah where we met up with Mike's family and we all got to be together for Bree's blessing. While in Utah we watched Shane & Sadie in "The Savior of the World." The production is put on in the conference center. Very neat, as always, and it makes it even more fun when you know the cast members. We spent the next week at the cabin doing the usual cabin activities, relaxing and sledding. Mike is king of the mountain again this year, maybe one year I'll win... I won't count on it. We came back home just in time to catch up with some friends from Kansas in Orlando. I ran the Disney World half marathon. Way fun! The characters were all along the course along with marching bands and cheerleaders. The course started at Epcot center and went through the Magic Kingdom. We actually ran through the castle! Pretty cool and the only time I will ever get into the park for "free." One sign a lady was holding said "run slow, get your moneys worth." Pretty clever. Mike's back in school hard at work. The kids and I are trying to fight off every sickness that's going around. So far we've been unsuccessful. That's our life in a nutshell. Here come the pictures... The pictures are backward in order and no description but most of them self explanatory. From Christmas, Bree's blessing, sledding, our bike ride through Shark Valley (seeing alligators not sharks), Bree's first sunburn (Don't judge me, I used sunscreen you can just tell where I missed) and just a few snapshots I took of the kids. Enjoy!
