Valentines Retreat!!

So we were lucky enough to getaway from the daily grind and have a romantic weekend-wink wink!! We went to Bear Lake!! It was freezing, but so beautiful. We stayed in a condo that was on the beach (snow covered beach, some of you might not find that appealing....mom) and we loved it!! Here is a snap from the beach up at the condos


This place is amazing in the summer too because it is right on the beach close to your boats or wave runners. Since it was winter that didn't quite have the same appeal, but we went to the hot tub a lot and were kind of lazy......wow it was great!!


Here's a shot at the beach, I told Jake to do something funny and this is what he came up with.....the king of comedy pretends to be falling.........good job anyway babe!!




We also went on a winter snowy walk on the beach. Jake thought I was kind of silly wanting to go for such a frigid walk, but to his surprise we had fun and we got a workout, deep snow is hard to trudge through!!


That sweet little animated hubby of mine!! I am so glad he is not boring!!

Um....what about Christmas??

So I am embarrassed to say that I took a whole bunch of pics of awesome Christmas activities we did with the Wittwers and I never posted them........so luckily, big sigh, you all get to see them now, 2 months later!!! Oh yeah

Sweet little Jaylen really didn't help much making the gingerbread houses, but he so wanted to be in the pic, I think he's a good addition!


So this is Amber, Chelsea, or Kaylee's house I can't remember which is which. Well yeah it looks amazing, everybody had kits to help a little too. Jake didn't think we needed one, even though I wanted one and assumed he got one. He thought using just graham crackers and frosting would be a better idea. hmmmmm......I bet you can imagine how good our house looked. Well if you are wondering, it is pictured with us and Jaylen in the 1st pic. Work of Art


Wow......why couldn't ours have looked like that house? Oh wait I know why, we didn't have a kit.....Jake got kind of frustrated making our shack and so he vowed to get a kit next year....victory!
Lindsey: 1 Jake: 0


But in the end, kit or not, we ended up with pretty horrific collopses.......



SPOONS!! So I love love spoons and we all got to play at the Wittwer Christmas party. I couldn't have been happier!!


The girls had fun having all the attention on them too!! And how could we not give them what they want!!


We also took a trip to temple square to see all the lights and feel that awesome Christmas spirit!!!! It was awesome and we had so much fun!!
