Okay, Okay, so I haven't been the best blogger lately. But I'm ready to start up again, and I wanted to post some of our highlights from our year so far...
1 - Mckay and Tanner learning to ice skate with their cousins, Blake and Rachel. We had Edwards' cousins here on and off for 2 weeks in Jan. for Ryan's wedding. It was so fun hanging out with them!
It is hosted by Uncle Charles who seems to always have some great fear factor ideas. This year there where three events: a disgusting drink: a happy meal (hamburger, fries, and drink) mixed with egg nog, picking up pennies in a jar filled with 100 grasshoppers, and something with jello and toes (can't remember the details on that one). 
Here is a picture of all the grandkids with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Carolyn. It seriously was impossible to get a good picture with 34 grandkids. We stayed in a very full house!
3- Logan growing up! Logan loves to feed himself and prides himself in not using a bib. Logan's favorite toy is the toilet. I've told the boys to make sure they put their toothbrushes up high, because Logan loves to brush his teeth using toilet water... I know I really do try to watch him close.
4- Snow caves! Bryson, Paul and the rest of the scouts have worked on building snow caves the last couple of weeks and finally got to sleep in them this weekend. Garrett and Tanner got to go too. They seemed to have had a great time while I sat at home worried sick about them.
Here's Garrett getting all cozy in the snow caves. There is no way I would ever sleep in one of those things! 
5- Sledding at Soldier Hollow. The weather wasn't very cooperative with us the day we went, but the boys didn't seem to mind. This is my kind of tubing! Not much work involved. The tow rope pulls you up and then you sled down. After, we got to go in the lodge and drink hot chocolate. 
6- Girls trip to St. George. I hate to admit, but the boys loved this weekend too because they got to play with their Daddy 24/7. I had a blast! It was fun to be a little selfish and just do girl stuff (which doesn't happen a lot at my house). We went shopping, got pedicures, went to chick flicks, and out to eat. And of course, stayed up late and talked. 
7- Our biggest event was...Ryan's wedding! My littlest brother (well, actually my tallest) got married to Karen, whom I adore. We all went to Manti to be with them for the big day. We had so much fun getting ready for their wedding. Of course all of us had to help put a honeymoon basket for them. This was really fun ...something we had all been planning since the last brother was married.
Their wedding day was perfect, well except it was freezing cold! The sun was shining though and it seriously was a picture perfect day. The wedding breakfast was amazing with all the brothers singing to Ryan and Karen. Then the reception that night was really fun because we got to visit with so many or our friends and family members! We are so happy to have Ryan and Karen living close to us now in the "love shack" - the guest house at Jim and Carolyn's house. It is fun to have them over and play games when they aren't too busy with school.
