Saturday - Playing with our Friends

Good morning Pretty Girls!

Eva and Sophie enjoying some warmth from the heater together 

Eve loved Caleb's remote control spider

(Ewwww) 

After breakfast, Amy & Austin ran to the Temple, and Jes to a side job,

so the while I made some cookies to go with hot cocoa later, the kids hunkered down and watched "Sky High" and played some games together on the Wii. 

Eliza played with some cards and Eva, Emmalee and I colored some pictures too 

These two are so happy to be together!

Bestest Buds! 

 

When the Sorensen's returned from the Temple, we chowed down on some hot homemade chicken soup and corn bread and got all bundled up!

Despite the yucky inversion & a balmy 16 degrees

 we are going

SLEDDING!

(Huh Henry??) 

Cutie Pie Lou 

While in Provo they had picked up their nephew, Evan, who is attending BYU to join us for the fun!

He and Eva had a blast! 

This is a birthday weekend this little mite won't forget anytime soon! 

One of the Dad's watching over the starting line... 

Ready! Set Go!

(wait Eve's - in the background - where's your sled??)

(She liked sliding down the hill on her tummy) 

My cute teenagers 

The Mom's with the Most 

Jestin and Austin 

Sam was so cute!

He didn't ride the sled down... he pulled it behind him as he ran down the hill!

Bwahahahaha 

Eve's on her tum-tum again! 

Ok! It's time for the Mommies to try this thing out! 

And we're off! 

HAHA

Wicked fun!!

And a little teary eyed, Amy reminded me that last time we went sledding together (years ago) I could only go once, and it was WAY too much for my heart to do and I was knocked flat for a couple of weeks from one sled run!

We teared up about how blessed I have been, how much stronger I am, and how life is such a gift!

(I went down that hill and hiked back up it 2 more times after that... just because I could!)

Dad's turn!

Austin took the long one, Jes took the disk...

Who's gonna get to the bottom first?? 

Cam jumped into the line to join them... 

And Cam and Jes bashed into each other  half way down...

they both began to spin...

Austin was behind... but soon was catching up...

they were spinning and laughing...

And well...

They had so much fun...

No one remembers who won!

LOL 

Cam helping Eve's back up the hill  

YUM! Snow! 

We were frozen, but had a great time!

We even shattered a brand new sledding disk! LOL

It was a perfect time!

YEE-HAW!

Caleb says:

One last run...

Then home for cookies and hot cocoa!!

 

The Mom's and the Dad's went on a dinner date later that evening,

Sorensen's took us to a yummy italian resutrant in Provo.

While we were gone, the kids watched another movie and Caleb and Sam built a big blanket fort in the livingroom (wish I had thought to get pictures!) and the two of them "camped" in it that evening! It was a blast of a day!
