Today we get a video instead of a photo.  This is a great one.  Tate and Ethan were given marshmallow shooters for Christmas from Grandma Kass.  They have so much fun with them.  Tate thought he would sneak up on his brother and get him!

Today is a fun photo!

Ethan is on the Logan High Wrestling team and they finally got their mouth guards!  They are pretty funky.  It has the team logo in it and also has his name embedded in it.  He's having a great time being on the team but it's been pretty hard to swim in the early morning (5:00 am - 7:00 am), keep his grades up at school (4.0) , and wrestle every afternoon (3:00 pm - 5:00 pm).  He's doing it!!

It's a good thing I have such strong men at my house!!  These guys worked soooooo hard to shovel us out.  We got about 2 1/2 feet of snow.  No school and the whole city was shut down!  And still snowing!!!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!  Boy did we get dumped on.

Today's photos are from my business, Rick Rack Vintage.  I painted this darling 1940s dressing table with Sweet Pickins Milk Paint in Bluebird.  It turned out so cute and I'll take it to my next vintage market in March.  Isn't it darling?!

So today I couldn't choose just one photo.  We took the kids sledding on the golf course at Bear Lake.  We just walk from the cabin out to the course.  It's just the perfect place for the kids to sled and when they get cold we just send them back to the cabin.

They had a ball!  The snow was coming down but it wasn't too cold.  Bentley dog just couldn't get enough.  He ran and ran and ran chasing the kids up and down the hill.

This first photo is Ethan and Bentley dog having fun in the snow.

Maggie tried to slide down the hill with no sled.  It didn't work so well!

Cora and Tate loved to ride the sled together.  Last year Tate went down the hill once and hated it!  This year he rode again and again.  They had the best time!

New Year New Resolution

When I was young I used to love to keep a journal.  I loved to document each little thing I was doing.  I would save little cards, programs, stickers, all kinds of little things.

I don't know what happened but when I went to college I just stopped.  I guess I got busy with school work so I stopped journaling.  It's sad to think about all the things that have happened in my life and there is no record of it!!  So sad!

Well, I was watching one of my favorite shows the other day, Studio 5.  They did a segment with a photographer that said she was choosing a photo for each day of the year and that was going to be her journal.  How fun is that?

I decided to try it.  I may not do it everyday but most days this year I'm going to just choose a photo and write a short note about what we were doing that day.  It should be fun and by the end of the year I'll have a whole journal of what we did.

So here goes!  Here's my photo for January 1, 2017

This is myself and my hubby Todd.  We spent the New Years holiday at my father in law's cabin at Bear Lake.  We love to go there and spend time and relax together as a family.  On New Years Day the snow was so beautiful!

Here's to a new year and a new resolution!
