Phil and Tiff's Wedding


I was honored when Phil called and asked if Randy and I would come to his wedding.


I've never seen Phil so happy and so in love.





It's a beautiful thing.  I can't think of a better way to celebrate than at a Hells Belle's concert.




The Belles didn't disappoint.  These chicks always put on such a great show.  My mom, dad, Larry, Becky, Phil, Tiff, Shellie, Jenni, and Whitney were all there.  Great night!

Playing Hooky



I have been determined this ski season to A. get Hank to like skiing again, and B. convince him that he no longer needs his edgie wedgies.  It has become his security blanket.  I know he can ski awesome without them.  He's really embarrassed he still uses them and refuses to ski with anyone while he's wearing them.  I decided to take advantage of a beautiful day and let him miss school so we could work on skiing without them.  He was hesitant at first but I finally convinced him to take them off.  Just as I had predicted, he took off down the hill with no problem what so ever.


Yay buddy!!! I knew he could do it!


Sam killed it as well.  He's such a little skiing stud muffin.  There's nothing cuter in this world than a 4 year old skier.



It was only fair to let Max miss school the following day.


Max adores one on one time.  We had a blast skiing on the top mountain all day.


He even made it down a few black diamond runs.




This playing hooky thing is pretty awesome.  Maybe I could home school the boys on the lift?

Happy Birthday Sar!



Happy Birthday to my beautiful little sis.  We suck at taking selfies but we rule at navigating through life's ups and downs.  I never want to find out what my life without her in it looks like.


She is like a second mom to my boys.


Love you sis!!

Cabin Time with the Wanks




Oh the perks of having someone in the family with a cabin.  It makes quick getaways with the family so easy.  Brett's family has the most perfect mountain retreat.  Even though the snow pack wasn't as deep as we had hoped, we made the best of it.  The kids and the adults had a blast being pulled behind the wheeler.






I couldn't be bothered with crying kids.  I had a sled ride of death to enjoy with my little sis.


There were epic Foosball, double shot, and ping pong battles going on all weekend.




Apples to Apples and cup stacking kept the kids entertained.


Plenty of luxurious naps as well.



We headed out to dinner in Heber one night instead of cooking.  Such a genius idea.  This picture of Izzy and Randy is pretty genius as well.



Max decided he was ready to give himself his own shots this weekend.  



I'm so proud of my brave boy!



Grandma and Hank played ping pong pretty much all night long.  Who knew she was so good at ping pong?


We woke up to delicious breakfast every morning.


The snow decided to fall our last day there.  











While everyone was sledding, my dad really got into his photography skills.






I think my mom was reenacting childbirth here.


It made her perfect target for an epic snowball fight.


I laughed until I cried.  There's just something about nailing your mom in the face with a snowball.  Hilarious!


Great direction on this pic daddy.  Man I love spending time with my parents like this.


I can't remember the last time we all took a nap together.  Probably never.  It was such a wonderful weekend but I couldn't wait to get home to my Griffers.  Jenni and her kids were kind enough to watch him for us. Unfortunately there are no dogs allowed at the cabin.  Maybe next time we'll sneak him in.  He would be in heaven up there.
