A Little Piece of Heaven

One of my favorite flowers is orchids and the one in my bedroom just bloomed. I also just got lamps the other day, so it makes it even better when I look over before I go to sleep every night. It reminds me that yes summer will come again!! Maybe I am just weird but it seriously makes me soo happy every time I look at my night stand. So if you are down, run to Ikea or Costco (costco's are bigger) and grab yourself an orchid they are great!!

Grandparents Are the Best

So it was the annual Martin Clan Christmas party at the Cotton Tree Hotel Jan. 8, 2009 and as always it was a total blast. We got there around 4:00 went swimming where Ty learned how to climb out of the pool all by himself and then would jump back in. (He has no fear of water, which makes me a little nervous for Lake Powell) He even would jump onto the kick board like his big brother. This summer is going to be great!! I will be sun bathing by the pool while the boys are swimming and the baby is asleep in its car seat :) I can HOPE right!!

After swimming we ate played the white elephant game and then played more games all night. It was great to see a group of grown-ups running around the banquet room racing. The next morning we woke up and went swimming again. The boys had soo much fun and so did we. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa we love you!!

Bear Lake 2010

Kaden LOVES to eat snow, he would lick it off the sled, his gloves, everywhere. Instead of asking him to not eat snow I've decided that if he doesn't eat the yellow snow he will survive!!
He is still cute with a boogy nose and all!!
We went up Logan Canyon to this big hill that the kids loved. After climbing up a few times Kaden sat down and said, "Mom I am tired"
Right outside the condo there was a little hill to sled down, and we spent hours outside.
Kaden going off the jump with no hands the big kids (including JD & Colby) found ways to make the hill fun for them too.
My independent little Ty, becoming a big kid more and more everyday.


After a great New Years Eve party with friends and some amazing food, (thanks Mom and Dad for taking the kiddos) We headed up to Bear Lake with my family to spend the weekend sledding, playing games, hot tubing and more sledding. Kaden and Ty were so good and it was nice to get away for a few days and take it easy. Again thanks Mom and Dad for inviting us we had a blast!!
