Snow Ride

Okay, so Jared and Liz have done a great job at blogging about their weekend at the cabin, so check their blogs out. Here is a picture I have of Jared falling gracefully off the snowboard. Not nearly as good as his first trip down the driveway. I really wish I had pictures of that one!


I had my camera with me the entire time we were at Tucker for lunch, and didn't take a single picture. So, while we were back in the parking lot at the cabin, Liz said,"That's a cute picture." So I snapped a couple real quick. Here is Bonnie loaded with all the tiny grand babies for the ride up to the cabin. From left to right you have Camryn, Jocelyn, Harley, Tianna, and Jacomo in the carrier. Too cute for words. Grandma definitely had her hands full. Rylie went on the first half of the ride with Garth (so he could play around, there's no way Taylor would go for that) and she had a blast. They had a "signal" if Rylie needed to say something to her Dad - she would pat his leg. Pretty cute stuff if you ask me. Rylie is a bit braver than Taylor when it comes to things like this. Taylor went on the second half of the ride with Garth and she described her ride as "terrifyingly fun." I think she didn't know what to think of her dad's crazy driving, but realized that she was safe the whole time and really had nothing to worry about, just her own fear. Me, I love to ride with Garth because there's no way I can do all the stuff he does on a machine. He's a crazy man! A little bit more reserved now that he has a family, and I do mean just a little. Or maybe he's just a little smater. Who knows, but at least he still has a great time.



We had a very nice weekend with the family. I'm glad Jared and Liz were able to come since they will be missing this weekend with the Ward family. The guys and Jana were able too get a few good rides in and still have time to play with the kids. Taylor and Rylie love to sled, but Camryn would much rather spend her time riding on a snowmobile! The entire time she's headed down the hill with her dad to pick up the sledders at the bottom, Garth said she was saying "woo whoo". She loves it! (So does her dad.) I shuttled kids back and forth for a bit, but after a while it was too much. My gut is getting too big to fit in my snow clothes and it doesn't feel so great. But I did my part playing with my kids too. I love them so much. I couldn't ask for a better family!

So, thanks Frandsen Fam for making this past weekend a great one! We had awesome food and plenty of good times. It was nice to see everyone! And thanks for welcoming Jared and Liz. They had a great time too. (sorry if my pictures are all over the place, sometimes I struggle)
