And I Wonder Why I Don't Want To Go Back To Work

I've had the past 1.5 weeks off of work and it's been so fun. I've kept so busy doing lots of different things. Cleaning up Christmas stuff, shopping, New Years Party, New Years breakfast for the kids, dinner and movie with our friends, tending grandchildren, and most of all having fun sledding with them. I could really get used to not working. Here are just a few things I did on my time off.
Easton went sledding for his first time. He's 9 months old and loved it!!

Jared obviously is scared of going too fast..haha

The girls are just chillin. Adaline is almost 4 months old so she didn't sled but she came along to watch.

You'd think a 20 month old boy would be a little nervous going down by his self but not Colby.

A grandma is never to old to enjoy some sledding

Makinley was always helping others pull their sleds up. She's quite the helper.

Lets go Daddy!! Faster!!

I have a new camera and I love it. I'm still learning things on it but it's much easier to understand than my other one. But I just love this picture of Easton all bundled up to go sledding. He is such a little butterball.

Kori had an opportunity to work a day for a previous employer so I got the opportunity to spend the day with Colby and Adaline. We played and played and read story after story. They sure keep you busy and on your toes all the time. I know why we all have our children when we are young!!

I was so thankful this little sweetheart took her bottle. I was a little worried about that since she's only had one or two previously. But she did great!! I love her smiley, sweet face.

Brayden and Dax weren't able to go with the rest of us on New Years Day sledding and so Papa and I took them yesterday up on the foothills of Timp. We took the 4 wheeler and our dog Izzy and we had a great time.

They're ready to go.....all buckled in and thinking about the fun they're going to have.

I'd get on the sled and I'd start laughing so hard. The boys were laughing so hard too and we'd scream for Papa to go faster.

We found an open field where no one had been in the snow. The boys had a great idea of making not a snowman but an "Elkman" Daxton and Papa are finding things to put on it.

Here's the final production. We had twigs for the antlers, my dark glasses for the eyes, my gloves for the hands and an orange for the mouth.

Look at his adorable freckles!!

They made snow angels in the fresh snow.

Izzy loved bouncing around in the snow. We loved being above all the yucky smog and up in the beautiful mountains.

The boys kept yelling "go faster Papa, go faster". They'd be giggling so loud and it just made me smile knowing how much fun they were having.

So now you know why I don't want to go back to work. My time off for Christmas break has been filled with so many fun times. Most of them spent with my great family. What would life be without them close by and being able to create so many memories.
