Baby Maren's Blessing!!!

 
 My brother Cody and sister-in-law Anne welcomed sweet baby Maren into the world earlier this month. 
We went down to Provo this weekend for her blessing.  She was absolutely beautiful!
It was a quick trip and the terrible roads/weather didn't help much!  But we made it safely and had loads of fun in the short time we did get to spend together.  Between the eating (Maddox, I've missed you!) and shopping (Hobby Lobby - missed you more!) we did spend some time doing some other fun stuff.
 
Including - Swimming!
After dinner we met back at the hotel to go swimming!  The girls had a blast!
The VERY proud grandparents!!!!
Sunday morning church didn't start until 11:00,
so Mark and I decided to take the girls for a drive and show them a few places around Provo. 
You can only spend SO much time in a tiny hotel room!
We drove by EVERY apartment or home that some family member lived in while at school at BYU. 
We drove by the temple AND the MTC (it was raining so no pictures!). 
We still had more time so we drove up to the "Y".  (The girls needed a break, so we braved the weather for this picture!)
It was pretty snowy so it was hard for the girls to see.
 
 Can you spot the "Y"? 
After church we headed home!  It was pretty miserable in some parts (we're taking 30-40 mph on I-15....ugh!), but the girls did great...for the most part!  Near the end, they had pretty much had it....aaaww heck....We ALL had had it! 
 We would TOTALLY do it again, however.... We Love You Baby Maren!

The newest addition to our family!

Okay, so not OUR family.  But we would definitely claim him ANY day!

Mark's cousin and his wife are actually the proud parents of this little guy!
But the girls love him as if he was their own little brother!
Especially Lucy!

 Introducing Tyler Stephen Williams
So little and OH. SO. CUTE!!!!

Sledding... The Right Way!

I LOVE my house for so many reasons!
 
Reason #137 - Sledding in our Backyard!
Not the 5 second ride downhill - 5 minute climb, collapse at the top of exhaustion, type of sledding!
Nope! 
The being pulled behind the FOUR-WHEELER type of sledding!
 
FOUR-WHEELER -
MEET SLED!!!!
FOUR-WHEELER!!!
SLED!!!!!!
Can I just say - SO FREAKING FUN!
Oh and these girls had fun too!
