Grandpa and Grandma Sabin visit

We just love Jimmy and Glorya soooo much. It is always sooo fun when they come and visit. The kiddos have such a good bond with them. Grandma is always sooo good about playing with them. It is soo cute. We miss them when they are not here. But man when they are it sure is a blast!!!!!


Trip to Paradise

Just some pretty spots. Explanation below of why there are no pics of the fam.



I loved this bridge.


Jake loved this canyon





Jakes Canyon again




The mountain up close!!








Jake forgot his sunglasses so.....
He used mine. HAHAHA
So our trip to Paradise was not all it was cracked up to be. Lets just say once we finally got there it got off to a rough start. Then the sledding hill was so far away that we couldnt just leave Cammie Jean in the car. So we had to lug all the baby paraphenelia with us. Then it was too cold so one of us had to hang at the car with her while the other played with the boys. Then the sledding hill line was forever long, so logan only got in two runs in like 45 minutes. So needless to say we are definatley Greenwater people. You can pick any hill you want, and park right next to it. Cammie Jean gets cold she can go in the car, and we are still right there. You don't see another person pretty much all day, which is nice. But I do have to say the scenery is definately nicer at Paradise.

I just love this time of year. I love the special feel in the air. I love my family, but most of all I love the most precious gift, the birth of my Savior Jesus Christ. I love teaching my kids about the baby in the manger. I love teaching my kids what Christmas is really all about. So to all I say Merry CHRISTmas.






Misc pics

Rafe had a little to much fun!!!



We go up to the mountains every year for our Christmas tree. I love it. It is a day for the whole family to be together, we sled, and get our tree. I love, love, love this tradition. I hope it will carry on once the grandkids come!!!

I love this time of year. It is so nice to see all the family. It is so nice to remember all the things we SHOULD be thankful for. There are so many things that get overlooked in our daily lives. so here are a list of just some of the things my family is so grateful for:

Eternal families
Family
Healthy Family Members
The gospel
A home
Transportation
Food
Horses
School
Sun
Hugs from dirty hands
The chance to learn and grow form trials
exercise
FHE
Chidrens Hospital (it is so nice to have such a great hospital so close.)



Of course there are many many more, but these are some of the everyday simple things that I think get overlooked. What are you thankful for?
