Snowmobiling Weekend/ New Years

Cheers!

everyone made it to midnight, now off to play in the snow
Couch Crib, this is how they watch a movie...

We spent the week between Christmas and New Years at the Cabin with our good friends the Smith’s. It has become our annual Snowmobiling trip. The only problem was that, there was no Snow! Funny but true. We still gave it a go... We haulled the Snowmobiles and a 4 wheeler up to the cabin and the kids sledded on the driveway all week long. Brett and Jon headed up the mountain in search of snow to play in and found a little up by Mirror Lake, but the girls just hung out and watched movies. We also played lots of games ate lots of snacks, slept in, talked, played cards and took a break from city life! All good fun I must say! We rang in the New Year with banging on pots and pans and toasting with sparling cider!

Happy New Year! Out with 2011 and in with 2012!!! This past year was full of highs and lows for our family. We had some great things happen to the Holman’s. I was released as 1st Counselor in the Primary. I got certified to teach Yoga and got a couple Yoga jobs. Sage started High School and made the Drill Team. Max turned 12 and recieved the Preistood, changed sports, Made Murray Max Soccer team and went to NYC to see the Yankees play. Mason made Allstars took 1st place in little leage and went to NYC. Brett also went to New York and was Mason’s Weablos leader all year. We took great trips as a family to the cabin, the beach. Brett’s Dad was killed in an ATV accident this year and that has been such a hard thing to go through. We are still working through the loss. Hopefully 2012 is full of health and lots of love for our family. Happy New Year!!!!

Christmas 2011






Christmas 2011

No snow, warmer than average temps, and crazy busy. We spent our December shopping and preparing for Christmas as uasual, but it was hard to get into the sprit with the weather. Sage had a competition almost every Saturday in December, so that added to the chaos. I tried to scale back this year on gifts and think I spent more than ever. Had a great time with Brett and our kids enjoying some of our favorite traddition. We went to the temple to see the lights, we ate out with our friends the Nielsons and had our annual Couples Party. We had our Christmas Cookie Party with the Holman’s and all missed Dave. We had an amazing Christmas and 2011 and feel very blessed.

December Full of Drill




Sage has always been a busy girl, but this my friends is a whole new ball game. Who was the genius that picked December and January for High School Drill team Competitions. So this is what we do every Saturday for the Month of Christmas... (who really needs to shop anyway) The truth is, I had a ball! Darling girls and a great team! Sage is a hard worker with a great attitude. And a 4.0!!!! Wow I am impressed, with her schedule I don't know how she did it. We have State on Feb. 3rd! I am so happy Sage loves Drill.
