Tanner has favorites in this family, no doubt. We told him Sam was coming and he talked about Sam for 24 hours. He couldn't wait to have a new Wii buddy, ask Sam about the Mario Kart battle! The gang went skiing tonight, and had fun.... no injuries, Yeah!
My gang having fun as a family, look mom no arguing!
Torie coming down after a big race, carter in the back.
Tara having fun on her own, she said... I love living in the mountains the sunset was beautiful from the top.
Tanner gave his first talk in primary, about his family. He did great. It was a hard moment for me. I realized that he is getting to be a big boy so fast. I'm so thankful for my kids. Just when you ask yourself, are they listening to me when I try to teach them, they pull off presentations that prove they do listen. They teach me more than they know. 
Torie did a report on the explorer Magellan. She wrote the whole thing herself, and drew freehand, a map of the world. We then burnt the edges so it looked old, she was thrilled and excited to give her report. 
For FHE we had her give it to us to practice, I was impressed with how much time and energy she spent on her facts, Good Job Torie!
Tara was conducting FHE tonight. She chose to teach a lesson on why we love each member of our family and what positive characteristics each member has.
We were asked to draw our family members and then write above them what we love about them.
Tara had Tanner tell us who makes up our family. She spent a lot of time prepping for this and she did awesome.
Tara also in this last week had to present a brownie lesson to her whole troop. I'm so thankful for how our church prepares our children to speak and teach at a young age. She was full of confidence and explained everything that she wanted the girls to do. They all made mobiles about the history of Girl Scouts. She had this prepared weeks ago and due to the snow had to wait.
She led the girls in the pledge and the motto of the Brownies. She got nothing but compliments from her leaders, way to go Bear!!!!!
We got all loaded up in the snow for browner pastures....
Tanner learned how to GO like a boy scout with his dads help, good job little guy...
Tanner also rode the 50 on his own with help from dad running behind with the kill switch. He did awesome.
Torie rode Tracy's bike like a champ, she has the clutch all figured out, watch out bigger toys to come soon.
Everyone had to help fox a meal. tanner did pancakes and sausage.
they were so good and warm in the chilly morning.
The four of us did fajitas and a wind storm hit right at dinner time, they were still great.
Tad made his famous beans and gave a little demo to Daryl and Uncle Kenny
Tanner loved Tent City as it was called for those who don't have a trailer.....
We got to go on a ride with no kids, thanks to our babysitter Charlie.....
Happy Valentine's Day from the girls.......
Tanner loves riding with his dad, his dad's pretty cool.......
A good time was had by all!
We have quite a bit, anyone care to take some off our hands? 
We are still expecting 4 more inches possibly, tonight.
We woke up this morning to 14 inches of snow.... and we are supposed to get 4-8 inches more. 
We voted for a road trip this weekend so we could see Conley and also see the Steelers win...
Rub A Dub Dub two men and a lady in the tub, they had fun playing and pouring water all of Jamison's head, she's a great sport.
Conley is such a sweetie, he is a good baby!
You just can't help but smile with him around.
These two were glued to each other all weekend, a match made in heaven as long as they have a peecuter, ( computer, thats how Tanner says it)
Some weren't as excited to see the Steelers win, Anthony the commercials are on....
Way to be a fan Tara
Then we had a daddy cooking lesson, the girls were making Guacamole and Anthony was the taster, what a team player....... Thanks to the Vidals for letting us join them for the superbowl!
