Jackson Hole for the New Year 2015!

Jackson HOLE!!!! What is better? Seriously?! What is better?? Maisy totally agrees!!
 These 4. Seriously. These 4 in Jackson Hole - be still, my heart.
 Look who is so excited to ski! Hunter skied 9 days out of 14! Landon skied 8. Hunter is skiing black diamond runs in Jackson Hole. He can ski backwards and do whirly birds. I'm so impressed with him.

Landon is skiing blue runs. That is an intermediate level. He even skied the gondola - which is incredible for a 4 yr old. That kid is SO athletic, but gets discouraged easily when people *uh um* his brother*  says how much better he is. We need to give Landon confidence and he will be skiing black diamonds as well!

Aspen skied 3 times. By the second time she was skiing between cones! She really picked it up faster than we expected. So proud of all 3 of them!


 Our view....of an igloo.

 Little troublemaker.

 These 2 play SO nicely together....sometimes.
 Hot cocoa in the morning....every single morning.

 I ran 3 days while I was there and skied 5 1/2. I was proud of myself for the exercise I got.
 Poor Maisy - she can never move her own body. Aspen is in charge of her haha.


 Oh how I adore this naked little person.
 Warming up while sledding.





 I sure did get my exercise, running these kids down the slope!







 And sledding myself!
 Warming up!






 3 Creeks - where our land is.



 A sleigh ride at 3 Creeks. So much fun!

 This horse really liked us!






 4 snow booties. I love that we have 4 kids. LOVE IT. It makes me so happy!

 Working on church stuff.
 Cute little relaxer

 These showed up at our place. Oh so good.

 Happy New Year's Eve!

 Another sleigh ride at 3 Creeks






 Picturesque

 Dinner at 3 Creeks


 Dapper and gorgeous little prince and princesses.









 Teton traffic. Big horn sheep - they were SUPER friendly and came RIGHT up to the car.









 Snowball fighting time!

 Daisy felt so left out - watching the kids play outside.



 Westbank Grill - so pretty





 Oh how I adore these 2 people. Pure love.
 Driving through the elk refuge
 We went ice skating. The kids insisted. Brian hung out with Maisy and I *tried* to teach the kids. Hunter LOVED it and is doing pretty well.  Aspen loved it too. Landon was frustrated that he had to learn and didn't already KNOW how to do it. It would have been funny if it weren't so frustrating.




 Good skater!

 Daddy and the big kids building a snowman - they LOVED this and we went on to build another 3 snowmen


 Done! By the time we left, it was a stump.



 We did an experiment. We wanted to see how much water would be left if we melted an entire bowl of snow.
 TUBING! This is a favorite. Aspen wasn't big enough so I, again, got my exercise by running the girls up and down the walkway. They loved it.




 All 4. My cuties.

 I got to go down a few times. It was awesome.


 Happy boy.




 This boy, Hunter, loved tubing more than anything. He was SO happy. I really think my kids are at their happiest in Jackson. We spend a lot of time together and really enjoy being a family, while we are there.




 my little teenager. Seriously. How old is this 3 yr old?

 Drawing. We needed some downtime.

 Gorgeous frosted Aspen trees.
 We were getting some stuff done around the place, and came out to find all 4 kids playing together in this tiny spot. They are such sweethearts.



 On the way to Jackson!! Woohoo!
 In Jackson. Cool luggage carts, huh?




 Rice krispy treat houses? Yes please.

 First day = a little bit nervous

 Walking to the first day of ski school

 There she is - red coat.
 Carrying her skis
 Landon = spike jr.
 Through the "animal trails"


 This made me laugh because Landon was SO angry with me that I didn't bring his shorts. I brought running shorts for me to use in the gym. Anyhow, he was even more angry when he saw me wearing them and that I didn't have his. It was somewhat hilarious.



 Hunter rubbed my feet after a long day of skiing. Sweet boy.

 On the lot (13) at 3 Creek
 New Year's Eve dinner at 3 Creeks.

 Root beer floats to celebrate
 We walked the lot, measured it and then....met with 2 architects. :-)


 Done with ski school!



I love Jackson Hole even more than I have ever before. We had so much fun. On the last day, we skied with Hunter. He is incredible. We had a really, really fun time. I am so proud of my kiddos - not only for all they have done but for how hard they try while we do new things.  I love these kids and my amazing, wonderful, handsome husband. Jackson provides the perfect place for us to bond as a family and it is so awesome.
