Finally… Another Post
Sorry if you thought I fell off the planet. I've been ignoring my blog because I've just been so dang busy! It's kind of a double edged sword. I go on vacation and do lots of fun things, and take lots of fun pictures, but when I get back I'm so busy catching up on work, that I don't have time to blog about my adventures.
Anyway… here's what we've been doing since December.
Christmas, 2007
We spent Christmas Eve at Brent and Larry's of course… because they throw the best darned Christmas party on the planet! It was great for the kids because we "cut back" on the presents this year due to the fact that we took a CRUISE and went to DISNEYLAND at the end of January… more on that below. Here's some pics of Christmas.
A few more shots of the annual "Graham Cracker House" building… I don't see any budding architects yet… and of course, half of my kids are always naked.
On Christmas morning, we decided to go to Flat Iron Mesa park for a little sledding. Avery took his snow board. Funny (but sad) story! Avery jumped on his board and expertly carved the hill. At the bottom, he took off his board and started walking up "the trail" behind a larger man to get back to the top. Out of nowhere, a kid about Avery's age decided to PLOW THE CROWD with his wooden sled on runners. Needless to say, the crowd jumped out of the way, but because Avery was behind the large man, he didn't get out of the way in time… I take that back, Avery got out of the way, but his snowboard was a little slow. The kid (who should have looked before he leaped) ended up EATING Avery's snowboard. Yup… split his face like a watermelon. Blood everywhere… teeth missing… Merry Christmas to him. 
Avery felt bad, especially after the kids mom chewed him out for having the snowboard on the hill… What? It's a dang good thing I wasn't close enough to hear her. I would have had to give her a piece of my mind. She made Avery feel like it was his fault and he didn't even want to stay. I told Avery the kid should have looked down the hill BEFORE going down (standard snow hill etiquette) and I was backed up by the large man that was in front of Avery on the up hill trail. That made Avery feel better.
