December 2013
We had a very large storm in the beginning of the month and we had a fun weekend playing outside in the fresh snow!
Gage LOVED the snow!!
Brady pulled Gage around on the sled.
We found some small sledding hills across the street from our house.
Gage even tried his snowshoes for the first time...
... and he did AWESOME! He loves his snowshoes!
Gibson and his friends played outside in the snow ALL DAY!
Even I got in on the action. I was able to walk out my front door and go snowshoeing along the parkway. Even though I HATE cold and snow, even I have to admit that it was a beautiful day!
And where was Caleb? We asked him if he wanted to play outside in the snow, he said "NO". He promptly turned on the fireplace and sat down on the couch. He is definitely my child!

Then a few weekends later, we headed down to sunny St. George and enjoyed some "warmer" weather. Unfortunately we were down there for Uncle Gene's funeral, but we made the best of it and enjoyed our family time together!
We fit in A LOT of swimming!!!
At the Tonaquint Cemetary for Uncle Gene's funeral. The boys were very well behaved.
It was a very nice service and it was wonderful to see all the people who came who cared about Gene.
Gene's siblings: Joan, Barry, my dad and mom, LaRae and Kent.
Then we headed to Snow Canyon for some hiking! Ever since we arrived in St. George, Caleb and Gage were asking to go hiking. I think they remembered Snow Canyon from when we hiked there last year.
Gage and I!
Gibson scrambling up the hills!
Gage and Gibson!
Brady and Caleb!
Fun family pictures (we used the timer on the camera since we were the only people on the hike!)
Gage just took off up the hillside - he is definitely my budding hiker!
The boys' victory cheer after hiking to the top of the petrified sand dunes!
No trip to St. George is complete without a visit (or 2) to Irmitas!
The last time I took a picture of us all at Irmitas is the last picture I took of Uncle Gene. We love and will miss you, Gene!
