Snow Day!

Nothing quite like a snow day! Even when it rains, the kids ask if school is going to be cancelled:) They always make the most of their snow days - building snow forts, snowmen, igloos and of course setting up the big neighborhood snowball fights.

Mike's Utah Ski Trip

Nothing like skiing in Utah! Living on the East Coast make ski trips back home that much better. Mike got a great couple days of skiing at Snowbird this past winter with his brothers (Rob and Brad).

Hudson's Taekwondo class and 1st Belt Ceremony

Both Braxton and Hudson have loved taking Taekwondo and it has been a lot of fun for them. Here is Hudson promising to obey his parents and eat his vegetables. Whenever Hudson refuses to eat or misbehaves, we simply tell him that we will have to let Master Kwon know - Hudson immediately corrects his ways:)

New Year's Eve 2009!!!!

To start 2010 out right, we decided we needed to add Charlie, our hamster, to the family. He has been a great addition and fits right in. Porter thinks he looks most like Hudson.




There were lots of good eats - including some fondue-fun!





Party like it's 2010!

Skiing in Vermont

Our annual family ski trip to Vermont - We love staying in the little town of Bennington, VT. I treat the family to my rendition of "Snow, Snow, Snow..." from one of my favorite shows - White Christmas. The boys humor me and sing along every once in awhile.




Porter is wondering how many more pictures have to be taken. He is ready to get on to the black diamonds.



"How hard could it be" Hudson wondered as he cruised passed Dad on the slopes.

Christmas 2009

The Ward Christmas Pageant

Our little sheep Hudson(argyle sweater) was thinking about straying, but held strong and played his part well.


Braxton was a shepherd

Porter was a very "Wise man"


Hudson's Preschool Christmas Program




One of my favorite traditions and the kids - "Graham Cracker" gingerbread houses, sugar cookies, and Santa Claus cupcakes.
