Our Trip To Salt Lake Part II

We spent our New Years with my dad and step mom and my brother and his wife and their two boys and my sister and her husband. We had a great time. We went and had dinner at a pizza place then we all met back at the house and played the Wii and ate snacks. At about 10:00 all the boys went out and lit fireworks off on the back deck. (yea 10:00 is pretty late for little ones so we decided it was time to celebrate the new year) It was very cold out but it was still fun to see a little firework show. Then on Saturday we went back down to Grumpy and Mimaw's house eat brunch and go sledding. It was a fun filled day!

Warning there are lots of pictures here!!

While we were playing games and the Wii Grumpy and the little boys were making notes that they would stick on our backs. (and the instigator was grumpy)

and their notes would say things like "pinch me now"

While we were at Grumpy and Mimaw's house we played the newly-wed game! Mimaw and Grumpy came up with the questions and each couple was a team. First the boys would go out of the room and then Mimaw would read a question and then us girls had to write our answer down on a note card. Then the boys would come back into the room. Mimaw would read the question tot he boys and if their answer matched our answers on our note cards you would score a point. The team at the end of the game would win a Cash Prize!

This was a really fun game!

The little kids really wanted to go sledding. So we took them to a park that was close to Grumpy and Mimaw's house. Everyone had a great time!

Shawn really enjoyed sledding until he slammed his head on the ground

these boys were racing down the hill. the little boys were trying so hard to beet the big boy.

I don't think that both of these boys ever stopped!

Trav and Bry.

Bry said I could not see a darn thing because of all the snow going right into his eyes.

Koda and Isaac just loving sledding.

Grumpy was directed by Mimaw not to sled. Well he really is not sledding he was just bringing the tube over to the other side of the hill. (really!!)

Bry!

my boys!!

(Koda was not too happy to be taking any pictures. he just wanted to sled)

I just loved this picture!
Koda has his tongue stuck out catching the snow as it hits his face.

Trav having lots of fun

Kode was so good with Alex. He would sled down the hill with him and then . . . .

Thanks Koda you are AWESOME!!

After we were done sledding we went back to Grumpy and Mimaw's house and had chili and corn bread and our favorite Carmel Corn. What a fun day!

Thanks to Grumpy and Mimaw for such a wonderful time. We really enjoyed seeing everyone.
