Winter Wonderland

This is what we woke up to today. I have not seen this much snow in awhile and this is just from overnight.  It is going to snow all day today and all night into tomorrow morning. I am not a big fan of snow but at least we will have a white Christmas.

Thanksgiving & Megans Birthday!

I apologize for posting this so late it is 5 days till Christmas and I am just getting around to posting about Thanksgiving.  It was a very good Thanksgiving this year I cooked a turkey for my first time and I was quite impressed with it, I did manage to set off the smoke alarms for awhile but what is Thanksgiving with out them?  Kathleen (Mother-in-law) and I made the best cranberry sauce I have ever tasted just ask Bekah! We also got to celebrate my niece Megan's 2nd birthday.  We did a lot of fun things like going to the park, swimming, late black Friday shopping, the men went shooting, a few rounds of pickle ball, and we witnessed several close battles for championship points in the ever so popular motocross races!  It makes me so thankful that I live by both my family and Jake's so that we are able to do these things with them and form a lot of great memories together! Thanks Dave and Kathleen for a great Thanksgiving.

 Abby loves swimming and was showing us all the things that she has learned in her class.  She is a very good swimmer, Megan on the other hand was not so impressed.

Field Brothers!

Snowville race I think Jake got First in his class and Matt took second in his.  Someone might have to correct me if I am wrong.  This race was back in October.

Manti Race

Manti was the last race of the year for Jake and it was a lot of fun because Rob, Mindy and the girls came down for it.  This was the first time Jake did a race here and the course seemed pretty fun.

 Look closely at this picture it is a pretty good one.

A little piece of heaven

The weather has been so nice lately so Jake and I decided to go riding up Hobble Creek Canyon on Saturday. I was not a fan of the whole ride but we did find a trail that had the best views and was really fun to ride on. Jake is a huge fan of trails like this so he was off riding while I was taking pictures.

 Like I said this is one of the best views

HELP!!

I need someone to help me get my blog back to what it was. I am not really sure what I did but I think I some how have by brother-in-laws info and I lost all my friends and family. Any new person looking at this blog I do not have children. So if someone knows how to fix this problem feel free to let me know. Thanks!

something new

Now that we have figured out how to wakeboard Jake and I are trying to teach ourselves how to water ski. Water skiing is definitely a lot harder than it looks, I have a hard time moving around without my feet attached to the same board. Jake figured out how to drop a ski to slalom but now the water is getting to cold so I guess I we will have to figure it out next summer.

Memorial Day Weekend

This Memorial weekend was a good one, I got a new 4wheeler so we went riding on Saturday and then went boating on Monday. I forgot my Camera on Saturday so I just have pics of our boating trip. The weather was nice but the water was a very cold 60 degrees but we were all very brave and got in anyway. After boating we went to my in laws house for a BBQ.

Dave and Kathleen have kittens that live in their window well and this is one of them. Preston is looking very cautious.

Europe

Sorry this post is so long I could not decide which pictures to put in and which ones to leave out. Jake and I went to France and Italy the first part of May and we had so much fun. Some of our favorite places we went were Rome, Florence, Pompeii and Paris. Some of our favorite things that we saw was the Colosseum, Vatican City (St. Peter's Basilica), and the ruins of Pompeii. Our Favorite Pizza we ate was in Pompeii, our favorite gelato was coconut gelato in Florence, one of my favorite pastas was in Pisa, and our favorite Crepe was not in Paris but in Rome with butter and sugar. There are so many good memories that I have of the trip and I am so grateful we were able to go over there.
