Winter Break In Maui!

Jon & I were able to get away for a week and go to Maui again. It is becoming my favorite winter break vacation. It is so nice to get out of Logan during the most ugly & cold weather months. We went with two of Jon's brothers and their wives and then also our friends Mike & Joanne. Jon had meetings that he went to each morning & then we hung out by the pool or biked in the afternoon.

One day we went on a whale watching tour & that was a lot of fun. We were able to see a lot of whales.

Jon wanted to bike up Haleaakala again this time. It is a terrible ride all uphill. He must have forgot how hard it was because he wanted to do it again! It wasn't any easier this time.

We biked around the west side of Maui one day. It is a beautiful ride and the scenery is just unbelievable!

We ended at this ladies house that sells shaved ice. This us sitting in her backyard enjoying the view while we cool off and get ready for the ride back. We had a great week with perfect weather.

Heidi Receives Her Young Women's Medallion

Heidi has worked hard to finish her personal progress for Young Women's and was able to receive her Young Women's Medallion. We are proud of her and the hard work that she put for to finish all the projects.

Christmas Break & New Years Eve 2010

We spent the week between Christmas and New Years at the cabin. We had a great time just hanging out in our pajamas or sweats and snowmobiling all day long. It was super cold so we didn't go far on the snowmobiles. We did try one day and we were frozen and everyone was in tears by the time we made it back to the cabin.

We taught Jack how to drive the little snowmobile this year and he had a great time outside. All he wanted to do was be outside and he didn't care that it was 0 degrees outside!

Jack even brought his puzzle he got for Christmas and was able to put it together each day.

Jon tried our new sledding tube out on the river. He decided it was safe so Mallory went next, unfortunately Mallory slid a little too far and her leg went into the river!

We even banged our pans at midnight. I'm sure the neighbors wondered what was happening but we had a great time!

Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve Family Picture!

We had a wonderful evening eating and ready the scripture account of our Savior's birth while the kids did the nativity. They did a great job putting all the costumes together and acting it out.

New Christmas Pajamas

We had a wonderful Christmas just spending time together as a family. We feel so blessed once again. We are so grateful for all that we have and for this time of year that we have to reflect on our Savior's birth.

Christmas Concerts

Mallory's orchestra concert for school

Piano Recital for Heidi, Mallory & Caleb. They all did an amazing job on their songs. This was Caleb's first recital and he did really good.

Christmas Holiday Fun!

The kids love to help decorate the tree for Christmas. This is the one that I let them do all the decorating so most of the ornaments are down low where they can reach. They do fight over who gets to stand on the ladder

and put some up higher!

It's not Christmas without a visit to the mall to sit on Santas lap! Some of our kids thought they were too old to sit so they just jumped in for the picture.

For family night one week we decided to go to Temple Square and see the lights. Jon had a great idea that we should add some adventure to the night so we took the frontrunner train from Ogden to Salt Lake. It was fun on the way there, but on the way home there were way too many screaming out of control kids that got on when we did and it made it a very long ride back to Ogden! But we still enjoyed the lights and Temple Square.

Thanksgiving at the Robisons!

This year we stayed home for Thanksgiving and had part of the Smith family here for the holiday. We had a fun time with lots of snow! The kids had a great time sledding each day and playing in our backyard on the snowmobiles.

We took a drive to hardware ranch one day to see the Elk. We tried this a few years ago and there were no Elk, so we were grateful to see some this year! It was freezing cold so we stayed only long enough to get a couple of pictures.

Thanksgiving Day

We had a great time just relaxing and enjoying one anothers company. It is always nice to get together with the family. The kids and adults all had a great time!
