MORE SNOW FUN!!!
Last weekend we went to our friends cabin for some winter fun. I have to say that I don't know if there is a prettier place on earth than the Utah mountains!!

As many of you know I love winter and I was so excited to play in the mountains over the weekend. There was so much snow at their cabin. This is the deck right out the front door. It was about a 20 foot drop off the other side, but it didn't stop the kids from walking and jumping around like there was no danger involved.

Ellie wastes no time joining in with the boys in whatever they do!

I had to put this picture in because it is classic Ashton. He gets the crazed look in his high and just goes wild when he is having so much fun!

As I said in my previous post, snowmobiling is one of my favorite activities. I haven't been in years, and now we got to go twice in one month. Braxton was thrilled to have a turn driving! I know you are all jealous of Ricky's awesome hat. You should see it with the ear flaps down. Hah!!

The Bratt's cabin is only accessible by snowmobile in the winter, so they have this awesome little sled to transport people and supplies. We went to a frozen lake to play and this is how we got there. I sat with my three younger kids for about 2 miles and it was so fun!!! The older boys stood and held on like a mushing sled. I can't think of anything I would rather do on a Friday! I was a sunny perfect day and the mountains were more than beautiful!!

Look at all this perfect snow just waiting to be played in!!

Bradley was such a trooper. He was sick all night before this, but he did great all day. He ate and ate snow all morning. He likes to stay with daddy on the snowmobile, but he had fun just walking around with me to; eating as much snow as he could.

Ashton loves going for rides!! He has an obsession with anything that has a motor. Quite frankly it makes me nervous for the future.

Can I just say that I love this girl! She has no fear. She wanted Pres. Bratt to go faster and faster and on the biggest hills they could find. She loves to have fun and was not ready to leave when the time came.

Poor Burke got a little beat up this trip. He had quite a few mishasp's and minor injuries, but loved every minute of it just the same.

By the time we rode back to the cabin, Brad was dead asleep in my lap on the sled. I layed him on the couch, and even though he was awake, he didn't move for a good 10 minutes!

This is perhaps the most classic picture of all. The parking lot is 2 miles down the road and we had to go slow because we had all of our gear to haul down. Ashton was completely worn out and slept about half the way down. We all had a good laugh. Brad also slept most of the way down, but I didn't get a picture of him. So much fun!! We are so grateful to have friends who give us fun experiences!!
