Lake Powell 2010

Here's a cute picture of the family (minus Kristen and family, sorry Kri) from our Lake Powell trip. It's always the best time of the whole summer! This summer I also went to Boston for a week to see my girlies! Kristen has all those pics, I didn't bring my camera. Who wants to pack a camera clear across the country when you're going to visit your very own photographer with super duper camera skills!

Summer Update - Brook Graduated!

Grandma and Grandpa Ellison traveled from Nevada to be with her!
Grandma Dode and Grandpa Gene came down too! (that's a really good picture of everyone! Dad's cracking up!)
Brook's second family and our adopted daughter, Anna!

Christmas in Montana

We had the ride of our lives last week trying to get to Montana for Christmas. After 17 hours of driving in these conditions, we finally made it to Whitefish, Montana and skiing heaven!
It was so cold, with powder galore! I don't think it ever got above 20 degrees. It was closer to 5 most days. Burrrrrrr! Thank goodness for hand and toe warmers. Whoever invented those is a genius! Check out the trees in the background. Beautiful.
Kristen, these next pictures are for you:
Santa came to Montana on Christmas Eve and ate the goodies we left him. The reindeer had a fight over the carrots and some landed in the dirt! These masked bandits opened ski masks on Christmas Eve.
If you look closely up the hill behind the family and you'll see a blaze on the hill. On Christmas Eve there was a parade of skiers with Santa bringing up the rear. It was so cool!

Our last day of skiing we skiied all afternoon, right up until the very last run of the day, then came back and made snow angels. What a fantastic trip!

We've been in the deep freeze for a week now, but this morning it started snowing and hasn't stopped all day! It's 17 degrees out tonight, burrrrr. This isn't supposed to happen here! I guess we're having a white Christmas! Merry Christmas everyone!

Maunawili Falls Hike





The girls and I hiked Maunawili Falls with some of our best hiking buddies, Cheryl and Kelli. I will miss the beauty of Hawaii and our fun hikes! I will especially miss Cheryl and Kelli and the Lighthouse!





We are leaving for the mainland on Monday (sad) but get to see our Missy dog and friends and family again! It's been a wonderful 10 months! Aloha!
