Weekend Update!

My parents came up Friday afternoon to visit for the week. As usual we've had some great times together and had a fun filled weekend. Blaise, Caiden & Avery spent the night on Friday and spent most of Saturday with us so Heather & Jason could celebrate their 10th anniversary. We had fun running around, playing guitar hero, having a slumber party while eating yummy snacks and watching a movie and of course there were lots of cuddles.

What is it with kids and boxes?Later that afternoon we headed to Snow Basin which is a ski resort to ride a gondola up to the lodge at the top of the mountain. It was so much fun and so beautiful. We played and hiked around for a little while but some how this was the only picture I got...

probably because I was so fascinated by the bathrooms that was all I could focus on. I know this sounds strange but they were huge and gorgeous. There was actually a lady in there at the same time as me who couldn't figure out how to get out of the bathroom because there were so many mirrors and paths it was easy to get turned around. Anyway, luckily I am very much aware and not at all ashamed of how big of a sissy I am when it comes to cold weather so I brought sweaters for me and the kids. And boy am I glad because it was chilly up there. For some odd reason though Addison thought she had to have her hood up and wouldn't let anybody help her so she ended up looking like the above picture. (If you want to see more pictures you can look at my mom's or my sister's blogs.)
On Sunday we headed out to Jason's Uncle's farm. This may not sound all that exciting but the kids loved it. We brought their bikes out for them to ride around in the dirt and the girls thought it was the greatest thing in the world to feed the chickens and ducks in the pond. After hanging out for a bit we picked some peaches and headed out to lunch.
