LOVE this pic of us at Sun Valley, had so much fun on our private horseback ride experience. More to come as I sort out the pics but had to share:)

Summer Slacker

Ryan, the man I love.....

My Beautiful daughters with their faces painted, they were super patient because the line was so incredibly long. This was at the Jon Schmidt concert at Wolf Mountain and was so fun! Ryan even had a day off after 21 days straight working..... was a very relaxing night at work for me and fun for the fam too:)

At the top of 'chin scraper' training for the 100, Huck is such a great dog and the night just got more awesome with thunder and lightening and me running faster because I did not want that storm to kick my ass!

After 'Hurt in the Dirt' with my awesome mug:) I had so much fun at this race and had a great crew cheering me on, thanks girls

Us at the Rodeo! Great memories of my awesome husband proposing and sharing the spirit of the rodeo with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a night to remember with happy tears, cowboys, cowgirls, Wynter's broken boot, slushees thx to G-pa, Me missin Ry, G-ma and G-pa smiling, and fireworks....Happy B-day Mom, you rock:)

Favorite pic of the summer I think, we rode our bikes to fireworks at Weber State and ended up with the best spot, the best daughters and a down hill ride home that was so amazing with the wind in our hair and Wynt seeing trolls in the bushes....hee hee she is so cute!

Missing Ryan this summer because he is so busy and working his ass off for his dream with the Forest Service and Fire Tours.... We love him and appreciate his hard work and love when he comes home smelling like smoke and with dirt on his face. He is an amazing husband and loves Skye and Wynt so much, it is hard to not have him here to enjoy the things we love but know he is doing great things for his career and our family. I Love you Ry

The Snow Chicks!

Thought I would include the self portrait of myself on the lift at Wolf on a really beautiful morning, I am so grateful that I have such a great job patroling on my snowboard. It has been such a blessing to smile every day that I go to work and not be stressed out, and even to invent the soup cooker out of a wire hanger with my fellow patroller Phil! The resolutions are coming along and I have completely enjoyed running and hiking this mellow Feb. and Mar.! More running and I will take pics too so that I can share.

The Yellow house in progress..... paint soon!!!! Awesome sunset night and it looks so beautiful sitting on the almost done porch, Ry did an amazing job and I love sitting and enjoying the random people of O-Town:)

Skye going big with some style to take 3rd in the Wolf Creed Slopestyle, she is so good under pressure..... I couldn't believe her on the rails... I am too scared of head injuries at this point in my life, but she is talented, stylish, and funny!

Wynter being a great supportive sis! She is such an amazing skier and lately snowboarder.... we will see what she decides to do more of! Love her crazy lines on the mountain!

resolutions?

Take the Leap!
Well, 2010, I am making some commitments in my life, and renewing some commitments also.



1. Run

2. Be the best mom and wife I can be despite moments of utter craziness

3. Run

4. Be a better sister and friend

5. Run

6. Be a better teacher

7. Run

8. Save money



Well that is about it, some people hate resolutions but I see them as a way to remember why you are who you are, and as a way of doing the things that you know are important to you but you are too scared to admit to.... for me, if I say it I have to be and do it .... Happy New Year

New Year's!!!!

Our devil dog Huck, this was after Ry tried and tried to get him to sit and take a pic, he went inside frustrated and I said two words......Huck, SIT
Getting ready to board the Polar Express, I realized how much Christmas spirit my girls have and had a beautiful moon lit dinner behind the grocery store after.....

Just a random shot, but for some reason I love it!

Merry Christmas!

Skye and Wynter are such fun girls and were such good sports at our 'on location' self portrait photo shoot! We had a lot of fun and even had some pics turn out! Can you believe they still like each other;) I will post more pics after Christmas!
Happy Holidays from Ryan, Christy Jo, Skye, Wynter, Ollie and Huck!
Hope you all get what you wish for, the spirit of Christmas has definitely hit us..... I have had happy tears three times in 24 hours:) Sometimes you just have to believe.......
