A Little Weekend Ride

I love the age Lane is at right now because we can do an activity and he can actually participate instead of watching from the side lines. Casey woke up Saturday and told me he was itching to take Lane to the desert for some riding time. No arguing there, I am always up for some fun with the fam. My dad and brothers came along as well and we had a blast!

Lane rode with Casey the WHOLE time . Time to
invest in a helmet!


I of course under-estimated the weather like always. So I
got desperate and rummaged up Casey's work jacket from his truck.

Let it Rock 2009!

Lot's of food and a big bath tub is how we welcomed 2009! Lane almost made it
to midnight but I thought I would be a good parent and go home and put him to bed at 11 instead(time flies when you are having a good time).


I told Craig I would give him 5 bucks if he jumped in the pool.
The little stinker actually did it!

Lane ringing in the new year right.

I hope some of you got a good midnight smooch... I was out cold.

Happy New Year y'all!

SNOW Much Fun!

Casey and I went snowboarding with 2 of my brothers yesterday. We wanted to catch all the good snow from the rain last week and what a perfect day it was! I never thought that 40 degrees could ever feel so warm but it was better than freezing our buns off. Jefferson did manage to lose my gloves off the ski lift on our first run but thanks to David and his skills for retrieving them. That made it only more funny when Jefferson decided to lose his own gloves off the lift our second run. Once again, David came to the rescue and we made sure our gloves were secure the rest of the trip!


David, you look like Willy Wonka

Casey was smokin', literally. You can kind of see it coming off his shoulders but he looked like a fog machine.


Enjoying my smoothie. I told you it was the toastiest 40 degrees I have ever felt.

I am praying for another week of rain so we can go back soon! Lane enjoyed his break from us and got to go on his own trip to St. David with Grammy, Papa and Valerie. He loves them so much...I wonder why?!

Super Saturday

Last Saturday my brother Craig got baptized. He is the youngest of the family so I keep telling my mom that they are empty nester's now:) After his baptism they had a lunch for everyone at their house. Here is the WHOLE family. It will be outdated though in 2 in half months when Stephanie has her baby. Only it will be hard to keep the picture updated when Christopher gets married and moves to Switzerland and Stephanie and Travis being in Buffalo.

An hour after the luncheon we changed gears and set up for Stephanie's baby shower. My mom sure knows how to party and we should just change Leah's name to Fraunk.

I'm Dreaming of a Rainy Christmas!

Waaa...it's already over! We had a wonderful Christmas yesterday full of excitement and perfect weather. Here are the pictures to explain how our day went!

In the morning we opened gifts with my parents and siblings.
Here is Lane (aka Mr. Spoiled) with some of his goods.

the father with his prized orange hand cleaner

For the "grown ups" my parents do a money scavenger hunt.

Mom giving out instructions for da hunt

trying to gain lead

Us with the findings. Dang you Stephanie and Travis who

won the bonus AGAIN

Our parents thought we needed to be more musically

talented so they got us ROCK BAND. We played ALL

STINKIN DAY. I love this game (even though I only

managed an average of 80% on the guitar and drums. I

attempted vocals once to Eye of the Tiger and let's just say I

left the singing to Marcie:)

Not pictured: the father's world famous biscuits and gravy (these mashed potatoes

are so creamy) and mexican dinner.

In the afternoon we made our way over to the Goodmans for more amazing fun

and more spoiling. Our mexican lunch of course was soo yummy too.

I forgot to take pictures over there so here is a group shot

of the week before at our progressive dinner night.

Here is Lane this morning with his prized present. He

HAD to eat breakfast with it.

Thanks to everyone who made Christmas so much fun!

Zoo/Rain Lights!

We were treated to a beary fun night at the zoo lights for FHE with Papa and Grammy. The rain couldn't stop us from having a good time... it actually made it more fun! The kids even got to ride in Papa and Grammy's car. Thanks for a fun night!

I know everyone is digging my sexy pancho!

Lindbloms like to party! + Lot's O Lights!

Sunday was the traditional Lindblom Christmas dinner plus share your talent night. Our mexican feast was delicious and the talents were great! Mom, we are all SO SAD you couldn't come because were weren't able to perform our Soldier Boy dance that you had planned on us doing since summer:( Maybe next year another teenage boy with no life will make up another dance for us to jam too :)

Last night we went to hear Valerie's choir concert at the temple lights. The weather was perfect...even though I thought the random sprinkles were going to turn into a down pour and any given minute.

Let's see how many times it takes for someone to take our picture without cutting Lanes head off.
There we go!
