Quick update for the holidays!

To start off our holiday, we flew out of Milwaukee at 6:05 PM. The miracle of it all is that Milwaukee got a foot of snow the night before and hadn't even opened the airport that day until 4:00 PM. We stood in line to check in for 2 hours, and had almost given up hope that we had missed our plane. Right before we got to the front of the line Jaycee fell asleep on top of our bag. It wasn't the most opportune time to have a dead-weight child to carry through the airport while running. I almost passed out, but we made it. When we got to the Salt Lake airport there was a small plane that had slid off the runway, forcing us to stay in the air until they figured everything out. When we landed, they had no walkway to hook the plane to so we could get off. It was great fun.
This is a cute apron made by my sis-in-law Brittany for Jaycee.
Of course Lance has been fishing as much as he can. He's caught plenty of fish to keep him happy for a little while.
My brother Chase got married on the 26th. I have a new sis-in-law, and she is awesome! This is Jaycee and her cousins McKynzee and Kambrie at the reception. They were flower girls for the wedding, but didn't understand their responsibilities. They looked cute anyway.

My brother Corby got his mission call to the Mexico Monterrey East mission. Way to go Corby! He leaves on March 25th.


Wow! The holidays have been eventful, but we've had so much fun. We've missed good old Bear Lake, and are glad to be able to spend some time here. This is a cute picture of Jaycee making friends with the biggest dog she's ever seen. He weighs 120 lbs. and his name is Boudreaux (not sure of the spelling).

We went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to spend New Years with Lance's family. Not too much excitement, but we did play some games and watch football. Thanks to everyone who made it possible to be there (Mark and Kammi).

I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'll post it later.

I wish we could have seen you guys! We spent the holiday in Vegas, so we didn't see much of BL. I can't believe how old your little siblings are! Time flies! So, when do you find out what you're having? Are you going to find out? Do you have a gender you're hoping for?
