Every year my dad's side of the family goes to Island Park for at least a weekend and go snowmobiling, hot tubing, play bunch of games, relax and enjoy each others company. Oh and with our family you can't go without at least one conversation about farting and with Levi and Cameron together it was inevitable. It was a ton of fun though my camera was having issues taking pictures in the cabin with the lighting so I didn't get as many pictures as I thought. Time for a new camera ;) Anyway it was alot of fun to hang out with all of my cousins, aunts, uncles and my fam. I rode with Levi on his sled most of the time and the fastest we were going was 87! Whoo it was a thrill! We all went sledding in the meadow and Cam and Preston made quite the jump. It was intense! Shannon, Lindsey, and Hannah all went on the same sled into the little willow branches a couple times and got stuck and we went to feed the fish and ducks! It was a little chilly but so much fun! I love it there!

We recently got a new puppy. He is a brindle colored boxer. He is a hoot! He loves to sit on your lap and fall asleep and like all puppies he explores and sniffs and still is making a mess :( We named him Mambo and I'll have to get some better pictures of him and Zip. Zip is really quite jealous and has had a horrible attitude since we got Mambo but I think he is warming up to him!

In November my family went to Hawaii, we stayed in kapa'a. It was so beautiful! The weather was perfect at 82, everything was so green and inviting! My parents had planned this teip last year and my grandparents told them they were going to the same island around the same time. Come to find out my uncle and his family and in laws and my granparents and my family were all going to be on the same plane to the same city for the week. Talk about coincedence. It was such a fun filled week I wanted to stay a couple more months! It was nearly perfect in everyway!
