Mimi's Treasures: February 2011

Swan Valley

I had to have another dessert the next morning. Smooth Chocolate pudding with raspberries and flamed sugar. Yum!

It was a beautiful day for a ski. Staff, Cameron, Randy and I enjoyed it together.

Cameron and his boys had built this snow cave a few weeks before and we had to check it out.

Pretty neat. We could stand up in it and there was room for several sleeping bags. I'm still not sure if I would want to sleep in it unless I had to.

Middle East Feast At Swan Valley!

This is the menu for the evening and I'm telling you, Shelly didn't forget ONE detail.

Staff is flaming the dessert. It was yummy! and I can't remember what it is called. Maybe YOU can read the menu and figure it out.

Randy and Jud fell asleep after the big meal, but as you can see, Jud woke up in time for the picture and got silly!

nothing beats an Idaho sunset!

These were taken at Swan Valley in the evening of our Valentine's get away with my siblings at Staff and Shelly's. Romantic enough for you? On top of nature itself, Shelly gave us all the works! We each got a tub for soaking our feet and salts, oils, footies, games, and delicious food. We just didn't want to go home!

More Farmington

Michael made these cute boards and Brinn got everything necessary for the girls to make "Friendship boards" to hang in their rooms. They turned out so cute! and the girls had a blast making them.

Pizza!

This is how they slept every night. So cute how they "crashed" after so much fun! Sorry, I didn't get Aspen in the picture, she was off the mattress to the right.

Mason sporting his chipmunk cheeks after Michael pulled 4 wisdom teeth. He actually didn't get that swollen, his brother was very careful with him.

A dental visit to Farmington, NM

Meet Dr. King. It was so much fun being there and seeing him in action. I really do believe he is the most handsome dentist I have ever been to! (and the most gentle).

His lovely wife showing off her cute tummy. Baby Creighton (hope I spelled that right), due in May.

Mason and I went to Farmington to get some work done on our teeth and to visit. We took Aspen and Halli to have some time with Brooklyn and Brielle. You can see they are enjoying the visit!

We had so much fun and Brinn and Michael are the perfect host and hostess. Always meals and activities planned out AND executed! I forgot my camera on most of the outings, darn it.

cute

I think little Damian is practicing for the new baby that will come in May. He is so darling with Clara and MOST of the time, she is darling right back. She wasn't too sure here. Maybe she couldn't figure out why she couldn't get any milk out of the bottle since he wasn't holding it just right.

Christmas at the cabin.

Quincy gets the prize for spending the most time on the hill without help. He must have walked 5 miles that day up the hill and then experimented on different ways to go down the hill and then walked back up, etc.

Such a cute and coordinated fellow!

Don't worry, he never got going fast enough to hit the big jump you see behind him.

Dinner time always felt like a feeding frenzie with fifteen little people asking for more or less and trying to talk louder than the next kid so he could be heard....
