Idaho

In February we took a quick trip to Idaho. We helped Angie pick out her wedding dress and took Kelsey to check out BYU-I. Angie and I went on the tour with her. Our guide was so confused- he thought Angie and Kelsey were the sisters and I was their cousin. Haha, they do look way more alike than Angie and I! It was great to see Cody, Ave and Miss H. That little girl is such a hoot! She makes me laugh- I love being her Auntie!!

 Typical teenager on her phone

 She loves to get in cupboards and drawers!

 Look at that face- LOVE HER!!

 She loves to make silly faces

Those eyes!! I'm jealous!

Christmas 2012

For Christmas, we headed out to Smith Creek to spend the holiday with Kyle. Our good friend Stephanie joined us this year! It was so fun to have her there- we just love her! It was a low key, mellow Christmas for us. We helped Kyle feed calves and did a little sledding. Of course we opened gifts and ate lots of yummy food.

 I think Sophie was the most excited on Christmas morning- she know Santa always gives her favorite treats!

 Sophie was scared of the ranch dogs roaming around so she made us hold her most of the time. Big chicken!

 Baby calves are so cute!

 This cat LOVED Stephanie

 This poor calf was very sick. Dad pretty much had to force it to drink.

Sophie and Mom were not impressed with cat's love of sitting on shoulders.

 Brrr... covered in snow after sledding behind the truck.

 Starting to fall off the tube...

 ...being pulled on her behind (ouch!)...

 ...and the pile up of snow from sledding without the tube. Silly girl missed the memo to stay on!

Cookies

 For Christmas (2012) Angie and I decided to have a cookie decorating party with the cousins. It was so much fun! Colby got in on the action and turned a snowman into Yoda. Oh, boy, were Ridgely and Riley excited about that! They then joined in and made storm troopers, Chewy and other Star Wars characters. Courntey was not at all impressed with them and said they are not invited to next years party. Haha, that girl cracks me up! It was so fun and the cookies were super yummy!

 Did you find Yoda and the Storm Trooper?

 That green faced guy on the bottom is Chewy. For not having brown icing I thought they did good!

Even little Parker joined us- aren't those just the most adorable, squeezable little cheeks ever!?!?
