Weekend in Boise

Ben and I decided to go up to Boise this weekend. Ben's buddy from high school Shawn and his wife Chelsey had their little boy on Thursday night so that sealed the deal for making the trip. Their new arrival, Jaxton, is precious! It was so good to see them. And of course, I forgot my camera when we went to visit =( Next time. We had a nice relaxing Saturday and just enjoyed being around family. Here are a few pics.

Our nephew Caleb wanted to learn to take some pictures so we showed and he took this pic and the next two. I'm impressed for an eight-year-old.
Our niece Isabelle. Nice =P

He turned the camera on me!
Ben getting in a little quality time with the nieces and nephews. At one point they were all on his back. Ahh!!

Eying the goods =)

Haha. This picture is the perfect synopsis of miss Aria's hilarious personality.

Christmas Break!

We had a wonderful Christmas break! We went to Boise for the week before Christmas and Christmas day. Ben got me a great camera for Christmas and we left for California the next morning, so unfortunately I didn't get any pics from Boise with it! I might have some on my phone that I will post later though. We had a great time in Boise though, going to movies with the family, seeing Ben's brother Mike's new house, going snow sledding, and celebrating Christmas with the fam! Then we were off to California for a week and had a great time seeing everybody! We went to the movies, went snowboarding, played games, ate lots of good food and had a blast! It was sad to go back to real life, since real life is so far away from our families, but thanks for the memories everybody! And Leslie, I apologize, I somehow didn't get you in a picture!

Mya, Brianna, and A.J. Three peas in a pod!
A.J. and Adam. I finally caught a smile from Adam!
Mom (Granny) and the girls. They love their Granny :)
Fireplace mantle. I love home at Christmas-time.
A.J. helped Matt unwrap a Christmas present.
Darling little Emmett. I promise I'm not squeezing him, he just made funny little faces because of the flash on the camera!

Gorgeous Jess in her stylin' new shades.
Ryan and Sarah. I loved listening to all the new words Sarah can say now. She is one amazing little 1 1/2 year old.


Silly Ben :)


My parents got us lift tickets to Sierra Ski Resort for Christmas, so Ben and I, my mom and Dad, and Ryan, Rachel, and A.J. hit the slopes!





We went to Jason and Leslie's new house in Reno for New Year's Eve. It is looking great so far! They had a fun basketball game in the room next to their family room and the boys had a blast playing. Emmett was so content watching the action while his daddy shot some hoops.
Check out that good form Jas!
Jason and Leslie's little girl Madelyn is so happy and incredibly photogenic! Look at her!

Playing some Wii Mario Cart.
Ryan is ready for his New Year's Eve kiss :)
Adam playing in the remains of our midnight celebration. He didn't like it when he got sprayed with silly string though. I don't blame him!
Picking the silly string out of all our hair!
Hola.
Just chillin'.
Precious!
Dad (Papa) and Emmett
I love this picture!


I was playing in the backyard with A.J. and Sarah and snapped these pics. I love A.J.'s faces!
