Well, I did a better job of taking pictures this weeks so I could tell you about them, although i am thinking that if this is going to be journal style I need to talk about how our week went too.  Still just new at this whole plan but hopefully I can just get better and better at combining the two and this will be great.
This week we have been dealing with sickness.  I feel like we just keep going from sickness to sickness for like 2 weeks now.  We have all had this eye infection thing that only really lasts a couple of days but apparently is super contagious because we have all had it.  Which means we go no where and do nothing and for us that is torture. :) Poor Breckers had it the worst, but I think just because he doesnt understand and rubs and rubs.  His poor eyes were so red and swollen, he looked terrible, but I didn't get a picture of that.  Then Drew got it pretty bad and had to stay home from school. Justin and I kinda started the whole infected eye thing, and then have had sore throats that keep us up at night. Then Drew was throwing up last night.  I dont think I have slept all the way through the night in like 2 weeks.  I keep hoping that we can shake it all and get healthy again soon.
But I did promise the boys we would go to gym cats this week because they have done such a great job with their study time since getting back to school.  We have been dying to go for a week and when this whole sickness hit it pushed us back a day but then we souped up Drew's eye with neosporin all day and night and went on Fri. It is so fun.  The kids get to jump in foam pits and swing on ropes and rings and jump on tramps and be in "boy heaven". After taking them to gym cats, Justin and I decided that we wanted to play too, so we went on a date that night to a place called Airborne.  We went with Kylee and Russell and were there with all the other 15 year olds.  It was so much fun.  The floor is just lined with trampolines and they even go up the walls.  We jumped from tramp to tramp.  Then there is also this area to jump off the tramps into foam pits.  Justin was doing double front flips and all of his cool snowbarding tricks. We played for an hour and got a great workout.  Super fun!!!!
So, I will get  onto some pictures that talks about the rest of the week.
Breck has been doing this for a couple of weeks, almost every morning when I brush my teeth.  Its so funny.


We were taking down our Christmas lights in Jan. instead of June this year. Yeah us!!  We beat the snow (not hard to do with the driest winter in Utah history), but didnt beat the cold. Breck was freezing but wanted to stay outside so he just sat on the porch like this for like 20 min.


We had a picnic in the front room this week.  It was Drew's idea.  The sun shines through our sliding door and is so warm and perfect for a picnic.


The first real snow of the year!! The mountains apparantly got quite a bit, but we just got a light dusting.  Although first sign of snow and Justin and the boys got all decked out and went out while it was snowing This view is from our house.  It was amazing with the reflection of the mountains.  I cant believe we live here.
