Valentine's Weekend

I know I'm a little behind schedule but I still wanted to post about what we did over Valentine's.

My friend Allyson came to visit for the weekend and she brought her sister and a friend along. They came up from Utah to visit the Ski Resorts and have a mini get-away over the Presidents Day weekend.

We are glad they made the journey to visit us in our humble abode. It was fun to hang out with Ally-there's nothing like hanging out with your best childhood friend!

Valentine's Day

Brock and I don't usually do much for Valentines, so we just hung out and went for a drive and a causal walk overlooking the valley. (It was freezing so we didn't go on a very long walk) That night we had pizza with Ally and her friends!This is kinda a Freaky picture but I think Brock looks cute so I posted it anyway!Brock takes a lot of pride in his creations for me, here's my Valentines Card that he "Built" for me. I love it, it beats any store bought card with cheesy poems and sayings. HEHEH! (Nice touch with the electrical tape and duct tape combo, awesome).

So tomorrow is my nephew Jake's Farewell in Utah and we are going to miss it. I am so sad that I'm going to miss it but I guess that's the kind of stuff you miss out on when you live forever away!

Jake goes into the MTC on Wednesday this week for 3 weeks and then he'll be on his way to the Dominican Republic for 2 years! It's so weird to think that I'm not going to see him for that long, but it will probably go sooo fast. However, when he gets back my nephews Nick and Damion will be getting ready to go, oh so freaky!

That's all for tonight from the mixed emotions of Kimberly! (happy/sad)

Big Sky Snowboarding Trip

I have the best news ever... my nephew Jake and a couple of his friends came up to spend a couple days with us last week!

I was so excited that they were able to come hang with us before Jake leaves for his mission. (He leaves on Feb. 25th for the Dominican Republic...exciting)

Friday, they went to Bridger Bowl to snowboard while Brock and I were at work. Friday night we went to some nearby hot springs and soaked up some warm water.

Saturday we all went snowboarding up at Big Sky. The drive up the canyon to the resort is so beautiful and we saw a Moosey on the way. We spent the whole day at the Ski Resort and got a lot of runs in and enjoyed the views of the mountains. Big Sky Resort is so nice, I've never been to such a nice resort. However, it is really spendy compared to the other resorts nearby, so we'll probably stick to Bridger!

Saturday night we went out to eat at Old Chicago...YUM, sooo good. We were all exhausted from a long day on the mountain, so after dinner we went home and crashed!

Sunday came all too soon, and it was time for the boys to head home. Jake wanted to head out early to make it home for the Super Bowl. (Steelers Fan) It was hard to see him go, it's the last time I will see him for two whole years. Yikes, it made me cry.

Anyway, I'm glad they came and we had a great time having them here.

Lone Peak- all the boys ventured to the tip top of the mountain and boarded down. Apparently it was pretty "Epic".Me and Jake- isn't he such a cutie? Can you believe I have a nephew old enough to go on a mission? Brock took this on the lift to the top of Lone Peak
This is a weird pic of me but you can see how beautiful the mountains are!

This is one of the runs that were more "my size". At the base of the mountain they have these huge nice hotels. Brock says it was like a "Dumb & Dumber Resort", too fancy for us to ever stay there!

Jake, Bo, & Nolan

I took this right before they left for home. I thought it would be fun to send a copy to Jake while he's out.
