OOPS!

More snowmobiling pictures!  I forgot about these pictures from the other camera!
Jantsen had his first snowmobiling lesson from Grandpa.  He rode all by himself.  He did great!
Payton...
Payton and Hummer...posing?

"Gnarly Crash?!"

Greg's 39th B-day!

Brooks helps Dad blow out all the candles.
That is a lot of candles!!
Payton and Grandpa Thorpe.  I don't think Payton wants his picture taken.
Jane, Greg and Jantsen.     Opening up gifts.
Great Grandma Crandall reads some of the b-day cards.
Riley and Savannah
Opening up the cards and gifts.
Because Greg is so hard to shop for, we gave him Guitar Hero for the Wii.  I knew he wouldn't go out and buy it for himself!  :)

If it is going to keep snowing...

President's Day weekend we headed up to the Cabin.  If it is going to keep snowing,  we might as well enjoy it, right?  Nick helps Grandpa with one of the deer heads.
Brooks makes a snow angel out back.
Nick, Jantsen and Brooks crash after hiking up to the water tank.
We hiked up to see if the water was frozen.  Yep, we have to conserve water at the cabin! That means filling pots of snow to melt on the stove.
Bailey made it to the cabin and everyone loved it!!
Hummer goes off a little jump.
Payton goes off the same jump.
Greg rides down to pick up the "boarders" and haul them back to the top.
Jantsen takes a spill on the purple saucer.
Payton and Hummer.
After a few runs, Payton and Hummer take a break to fix a binding.
"Go Jants, Go!"
Nick takes off on the snow scooter.
Jantsen and Nick at the top of the hill.
Jantsen heads for a little jump.  Nice boarding, Dude!
Brooks and Greg head up from the zip-line.
Just a few more feet...you can do it!
Nick takes a break in the deep snow!
Payton is about to take off...

Lovin' up the Pup!
I think Brooks just ate a sticky cinnamon roll and Bailey gets to lick his hands clean!
She is a cozy little thing!
Jantsen and Bailey.
Yes...that is the Christmas tree that we are just taking down!
"Cheese!"
Hummer and Payton help take down Christmas ornaments.
We had a blast at the Cabin!!  We all snowmobiled, sledded, and snow boarded until we were sore!  We had a couple of card games, watched a few movies, hung out with the Wimmers and ate a lot of food!

Jantsen's Bantam basketball team wins the championship game!

Greg and Kirk coached a 5th grade Bantam basketball team this winter.  Jantsen was the only 4th grader, but did a great job.  They won the championship game against Orem.  Way to go guys!!
Payton and Hummer come to the game...not too sure what they are doing!
Brooks and Avery Boyer say "peace" with their hippie headbands.
"PEACE!!"   What a couple of cuties!

Say good-bye to the fish and Payton's great cooking expo...

We finally decided to get rid of the fish...we ran out of food and nobody cared.  As you can see, Payton and Jantsen were not too sad.  For me...one less mess and one less thing to do!
Payton is expanding his skills to include baking cookies...
He did a great job up until clean-up!   The cookies were great.  I think he should start cooking dinners now!
