New York

Janson, Lacee, my Mom, Layne & Teresa Pace (Janson's parents) and I all traveled to Lake Placid, New York to cheer Noelle on at the Skeleton World Cup Championships. We rented a great condo just within the city and relaxed a little. We shopped, toured the city and of course practiced our Cheerleading skills. Noelle was happy with her results, but even more pleased that the season had ended so she could spend a little more time with her cute little family.

Snowmobiling

It has been a while since we have taken a ride on some snowmobiles and it showed when we went with our friends Bart and Shonnie and their cute family. We both managed to get our snowmobiles stuck. It was a great day to go due to the recent snowfall, but it made getting out a little rough. We had a great time and the kids were able to do a little sledding as well.

Go Noelle!!!

There was a world cup race held in Park City this year so we were able to go watch Noelle compete. She had a lot of support up there and we all had a really good time. Thank you to all who cheered her on. I know she really appreciated it. She ended up with a Bronze medal. Congratulations Noelle!!!

Fondue Parties

We don’t have a fondue fountain of our own for a very good reason. We would use it way too much. But we have many friends and families that own one. Noelle and Janson brought theirs over for a “light” dessert. The large White Cheesecake looking dessert was actually a giant marshmallow. We cut it like a cake, but soon discovered a whole piece was a little too sweet. So we stuck to the fruits and brownies. MMMM!!!

Skiing

Taylor and I were finally able to break away and go skiing with our friends Bart & Shonnie. The guys actually went snowboarding and left the girls in their “dust”, but we somehow seemed to find them at the bottom of each run.

Lacee’s new “Do”

Taylor decided it was time for Lacee to sport a new “do”. It has been so much fun caring for Lacee over the last few months. Now that Noelle’s season is coming to a close, we won’t see as much of Lacee now. I have discovered many benefits of having 4 kids at home (2 of which are babies) including: 1) Saving money. I don’t even want to go near a store while toting 4 little ones. 2) An excuse to be lazy. If one of the babies cries, they need to be cuddled, therefore making the other jealous. So I end up just sitting there with 2 babies in my lap until they find something more interesting to do. That gives me approximately 10 minutes before the next cuddle session 3) Taking care of 4 kids has made having 3 very manageable.

Happy Brithday Lacee!!!

We celebrated Lacee's first birthday at Noelle and Janson's house. Noelle did a great job on the "Princess" cake. Unfortunately Lacee bit through her tongue just a few hours before the party so she didn't want to eat as much of the cake as she normaly would have. However, that didn't stop her from making a big mess!

Happy New Year!!!

We spent New Years Eve in the comfort of our own home with Family. We played games, ate plenty of food and counted down to the New Year. The kids enjoyed watching a firework show and banging on pots and pans to celebrate the New Year. We then had a sparkling cider toast for a prosperous and healthy year to come.

Temple Square

We didn't have time to see the lights before Christmas, but really enjoyed Temple Square after Christmas. The crowds were minimal and we were able to relax a little more without the pressures of the holiday season. It's definitely a tradition we have to keep up each year.
