Cheyenne's baptism was so nice. I love that Heath, Cedar and their kids love living up north, but are close enough for us to come for special occasions. We enjoyed visiting with Cedar's family too- they some of the nicest people. Growing up I remember Cedar, but mostly her parents living in the next ward over from us. Her parents were involved with the youth and ususally went to girls camp. At that time my stake went to our families property at the cabin for girls camp. I thought I was pretty cool to sneak up to the cabin for a long, warm shower. I was the YCL for Cedar's ward one year when she was there. Now she's my sis-in-law! Ha!
Anyway.....The snow was perfect for kids to play in around the cabin. I loved watching them from inside!
The kids loved playing on the deck.
They dumped all the snow off the hammock and carried it off for their snow wall. Thomas loved his pink boots!
Snow Angel!On Sunday for Valentine's Day, my mom made us heart shaped pancakes and sausage. Thank you Mom! Then we went to church, let the kids play, took naps, played Wii, and cards. We loved having Stuart drive over to play games with us Sat and Sun nights!
We cleaned up Sunday night to be ready to go early Monday. I was so glad Jennifer and her kids were there with us. The cousins played so good together. We missed Nate, but hopefully he can join us next time.
We were a little anxious about our skiing adventure. Ben wasn't coming. He was driving Evan, Wade, Ty and Thomas home to be able to get the soil for our garden ready. For some reason he thought going home with the four kids six and under would be more fun than the ski slopes. He sacrificed so we could have fun that day, plus he accomplished so much in the yard!! Thanks Ben!!
So with our borrowed snow clothes we were ready so hit the slopes.
We rented equiptment and put the Preston, Jarom, Camille and Alyssa in ski school.
Go Camille!!
They all did great with their instructors. My mom watched from the lodge, and we got a few runs in before their class ended. Jennifer- should I mention going down getting off the lift, or the accidental blue run that was easier going down without skis? Maybe that is all I'll say.
Look at that snow plow!
We went to the car for lunch
Then it was back to the slopes. We stayed on the bunny hill with the kids for the next few hours.
Camille's day ended when she fell and a snowboarder ran into her head. So sad! It was about 2pm by then and she had had a great day. I am so glad she had a fun experience and wants to go back.
By the last two hours Jarom and Alyssa were going down the bunny hill by themselves and doing so well. Preston graduated and went up the big lift with us the last few hours of the day. My dad helped so much with the kids, teaching them and picking them up off the ground. It is so much fun going with all the family. We didn't get to see Brian and Allison much- they went down the bunny hill with us once which was so nice of them. 
We stopped on the way home and ate all together. It was a great first time trip for the kids, I would love to go up again next year!

After digging and messing with the drip line in the planter all evening, Ben enjoyed some time with his boys.
