New Years Eve

My parents are getting ready to fill in their pool, so somehow, someone discovered that it is great fun to shoot bb-guns at tree ornaments and maybe strings of lights, safely in an old pool! We get texts almost every night to come join! So New Years Eve is no exception to do this, especially since Christmas items are clearanced!

The kids wait patiently for their turn. We were very safe, I promise :)

An old pool is also a great place to light fireworks!

Drinking hot chocolate and eating lots of yummy treats

Some of us tuckered out before the night was over!

Happy New Year!

Happy 11 years!

This year, Cass and I planned a little get-away to the Majestic Mountain Inn. We left Friday late in the afternoon and totally hit a snow storm coming in. I hate driving in the snow! It makes for fun play though!The room had a huge jacuzzi tub in the center of it, this was Cass' only request! He has a thing for baths.

After dinner and a movie, I had a nice, hot long soak in the tub. Then, Cass Dared me to go run around a tree outside our room really quickly, he'd time me (ha ha)....I totally slipped in the snow and came in with it stuck to my pj's! Brrrrr!

The next morning, we (I) wanted to go shopping in town, we woke up to the van like this! It was a doozy driving around town and all of the shops were closed because of the snow! We found like 2 open and they were 'for old folks only' kind of shops. Oh well. With not much to do in town, we decided to pack up and go home. We wanted to bring the kids some snow so we only cleared windows. The whole way, huge chunks of it kept flying off and I was so worried that it wouldn't make it to Mesa.

Luckily, to our surprise there was plenty for a great snowball fight!

Thanks Mac and Kathy for keeping our kids overnight!

We had a great time!
