Sledding

It's a little too cold to go outside today, so I'm posting some outside picture instead. These are from when we went sledding when my parents came up to visit after Christmas.

Bryn and Bailey making their way up the mountain

Lucky for them, they caught a ride!

Don't let his picture fool you, it was a steep hill!

They got some speed

and some snow blowing in their faces!

Grandpa found a little mouse/mole freezing in the snow! Poor little thing!

Grandma sledding though the sagebrush

Ridgie Roo flying down the hill with Dad

After a while the kids got brave enough to go down on their own (minus Nash who was sleeping in the car.)

It was a beautiful chilly evening, perfect for sledding! And its stayed so cold since then, we still have the same 5 inches of snow!

Holiday Fun

We had a lot of fun over the break playing hide-n-seek! It's one of our favorite games right now. I thought it was hilarious how the boys kept "hiding" in the pillows on our bed.

Bryn is pretty sneaky when it comes to hiding!

Two little cheesers

We had so much fun getting to see family over the holidays. The kids adore their cousins! I wish I had taken pictures at all of the family parties we went to but at least I got a few!

Nana has the magic touch

All the cute cousins on the Murray side

Uncle Ed has the magic touch too! It was great to see you all!

Coconut Island

We took the kids to Coconut Island which is a perfect spot for kids to play in the ocean

Nash wasn't too big on swimming this summer, but he loved the ocean! He thought the sand and waves were amazing!

Bryn getting chased by her shark daddy!

It took Ridge a little while to warm up the the ocean

One thing I love about Brynlee is her ability to quickly make friends everywhere she goes

The boys loved this ginormous sand box

fun times!!

Back at "home" Grandpa wowed kids with coconut opening skills

they were very impressed! (Side note: I love when Ridge press his face against the door, he always does it as home when he wants to come in from the backyard, it makes me laugh every time!)

The kids have been so excited to visit Grandpa and Grandma Allen in Hawaii! Brynlee could hardly handle the excitement, we tried to get the kids to bed early the night before we left since we knew we would be getting up really early to be at the airport by 4:30 am but Brynlee was just too excited to sleep. She finally fell asleep around 10:30. At 2:30 in the morning she was at the side of my bed asking if it was time to go yet. I let her crawl in bed with us hoping to get a little more sleep but she couldn't hold still and had too many questions about the airplane and Hawaii so we got up and got ready! Here they are bright eyed and bushy tailed waiting to get the show on the road!

Does she look excited? She gave a detailed narration of everything that was happening as we took off, it was pretty good and made it way more exciting than it actually was but I made her stop the first time we hit a little turbulence because then she started saying the captain wasn't holding onto the wheel anymore and maybe we would go straight down for awhile and it seemed to make some of the people around us nervous. =) Luckily it was a great ride all the way to San Francisco!

The boys had a great time playing at the airport while we waited for the next flight

Bryn was just anxious to keep moving

The kids were fantastic on the flight, eating snacks, playing with their toys and making friends with the people behind us.

I think the kids were a little shocked by the humidity when we stepped off the plane in Kona! They were super excited to see Grandpa and Grandma and happy to be in Hawaii!
