Hone outings

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year


well where to begin..... The holidays were very exciting with little ones. we celebrated the sunday before christmas and we all got together and exchanged gifts. THe kids were so excited to open presents and play with there new toys. Grandma and Grandpa sure like to spoil them!! We had fun doing puzzles and playing games.


Mom and dad Jeff, Jenny, Kate and Ava went to Colorado for Christmas and had a great time skiing, sleigh riding, and just playing in the snow.


Missy and Jason went to Wisconsin for christmas to visit his family. They spent about 4-5 days there. IT snowed like crazy and they were alittle worried they wouldn't make it home.


Jason and Jeanne - stayed in Arizona, Jeanne was on call :(, hopefully they had a great christmas and she didn't spend much time in the delivery room! we miss them and can't wait to see them in February!!


Mindy, Rich, Alexis and Kolbe stayed home for christmas. we had a great time watching the kids open there gifts and play with them all day. They were overwhelmed with what santa and mom and dad gave them. Christmas is sooo much more fun when you have little kids to spend it with. There excitement and happiness make it worth it. Aunt Carol called us on christmas morning and Alexis answered the phone and she listed off everything she got for christmas and By the time I got the phone, Carol was laughing and sayed that was worth it!! That evening we went out to the halls to exchanged gifts with rich's family. The kids were exhausted by the time we got home. The drive home took us 45 minutes. It was snowing soooo hard. the roads were snow packed and icy. Rich and I wished we were stuck in Farmington out on the 4 wheelers with Grandpa tubing!!


Shane and Hayden - Hayden was at home for christmas with his mom and had a wonderful christmas. Shane skiied at Deer Valley! I remember those days working at Deer Valley on christmas day.


The family is doing great. We are now in the ski season and can't wait to take the kids. Missy and dad are patroling again at Beaver. They have already been swamped with accidents and of course some powder days.


That is it for now!!
