Cabin Weekend

We finally got to go to the cabin!  We only went once in all of 2012, so we were excited to get away finally.  On the way up, Tige & Kason stopped to night ski at Brian Head while the rest of us headed up with my parents.  It was Kason's first time skiing.  The snow was crappy--all iced over and hard.  They went down the slope 5 or 6 times until they felt like they had sufficiently injured their bodies on the hard snow, and then called it a night.  Kason had trouble snow plowing to a stop, so he usually stopped at the bottom with some sort of magnificent crash.  The ski lift operator started calling him "Tokoyo drift."

 

Here are some additional pictures from the weekend.  There was hardly any snow up there, which is really odd for February.  So everything was terribly muddy and gross.  We took everything in by 4-wheeler since we couldn't snowmobile with no snow and the road was too muddy to drive on.  Then we just stayed in and played, watched movies, and hung out.  David & Cristal's family where there too along with G&G Taylor.  It's always a fun & relaxing getaway.

Ethan & Taylor. 

The kids and grandpa all trying to teach Zach to crawl.  He was up on all fours, but wasn't moving yet other than a little rocking.  It's funny because within a week of this picture, he was OFF and crawling!

 

 Ipad party!

 

Owie and snuggle

The days of Zach giving us snuggles are getting more and more rare.  He's wiggly and on-the-go.  So I was glad I captured this picture of Zach giving snuggles to daddy.

On the evening of the Superbowl which we watched with the Fords, the kids were upstairs goofing off and is wasn't long because this little sweetheart came down crying with a bump on his head.  One of my friends told me a few years ago, then if you rub real butter on an injury like this, it won't bruise.  It's the craziest thing!  We've tried it at least half a dozen times, and I promise you it works.  It's bizzare.  But just the next morning after this owie, Taylor's head looked fine and only had a slight yellowish bruise that you could hardly see.
