New Year at the cabin

New Years day we drove out to Phoenix to see my oldest brother be ordained an Elder. I actually didn't see it because Joseph decided to turn into a fog horn so I stepped outside. But it was wonderful to be there. After than we headed up to pine to spend some time with our friends Scott, Lynette, and their baby (and Gracie's new "best friend") Ellie at their families cabin. It was so nice to go and get away. The kids thought it was the best. All the pictures are out of order and I am in no mood to put them in order. Also all of the bright beautiful pictures came from Lynette (thanks).

"William, trust me"

Oooh, it is slippery

The kids loved the stairs like crazy and William kept saying that he wished we had stairs at our house.

french toast for breakfast is tradition for these guys

what is cuter than babies in footie jammies? 

William found some snow and wanted to bring it home.

this boy loves being outside

Scott and Lynette

baby Ellie, look at those big eyes!

This is me trying to convince Joseph to come sit by us to take a picture.

We learned on this trip that Gracie thinks "trust me" means "hold my hand". Now we always say trust me when we want the kids to hold our hand. It is too cute. Gracie also put a paper clip in her hair. Can you see it?

Joseph really did love Ellie they just didn't want to take this picture.

she stole everyone's heart

Thanks so much Scott and Lynette!
