Little R&R

B and I have been living with my parents a little over 5 months.  It's been going great, but with the stress of the house build, the fact that we haven't been out of town up to Breck in awhile, and with the upcoming long MLK weekend, we decided to take advantage of the mountain house.  We invited some good friends up with us that have girls the same age as our kids.

We had such a great time with them, and were so happy that they came up to spend their long weekend with us too!

Some fun shots on the I-Phone on the way up....you can we we have had ZERO snow - great for our construction, BAD for the skiers/snowboarders and drought conditions!

This was the first time H and Brynn had ever had a sleep over, so Tiffany and I thought it perfect that they get their own bedroom!  So, we put them up in the twin room, and they LOVED it!  They got to making their beds by themselves, and only asked for help to get the comforters back on the bed, they would take every game we had into their room to play it, and they even made signs that say that it is a kid only room!  So adorable!  You bet I saved the papers off the door and will be putting it in their scrapbook!

Carter was more interested in going outside to sled, so as soon as the girls were done in their room, we suited up all four kids and trekked outside.  There wasn't much snow up at the house, unfortunately, so we had to walk a bit before we found a decent enough "hill" to sled down.

LOVE this shot of the kids!

 What a nice little boy helping Hayden up the hill!

We went up the road to where they are building another house and looked around.  They have a great view of the reservoir (you can kind of see it through the trees above C's head!) so we sat the kids down - it was pretty darn chilly by this point, but we got great shots of the kids!

I love this picture of the kids, they were on such an incline that in a short amount of time they were all falling over!

It was so chilly after we got back, we made the kids hot chocolate and settled in for the night.

Love that Evalyn is looking up at B - he's so good with babies!

The kids love to feed the birds and squirrels peanuts, so they throw them on the deck and wait for the animals to come....kept them entertained for at least 15 minutes!

On Sunday, we headed down into Breck and went to our favorite pottery store, Ready Paint Fire.  I highly recommend it if you are ever in Breck.  The 3 year old kids lasted about 45 minutes, and the older girls could have gone longer had it not been lunch time!  The owner is a fantastic woman (you can see her in the photo below) she has such a great personality and loves when the kids come in!

B and I decided to stay into Monday while the Sorice's headed home, it was a nice long weekend and truly needed!  Here's to hoping the Sorice's will come back up, maybe next time in the summer!
