these days........

recently it was the annual honeyrock ski day up at big powderhorn mountain.....i didn't take very many pictures as haley and jackson had me skiing all over the mountain down intermediate runs and i was a little too nervous to take my new camera out there .......next time i'll remember to take my small camera.......we had so much fun and were so exhausted after a long day of hard FUN!!!

here are some honeyrockers planning their next set of runs over lunch in the lodge.
mary-elise, a new honeyrock gpa, is from tennessee and has a very welcome thick southern accent. i find myself reverting back to saying ya'll alot more often now that she's here......i love it!!! this was her first time skiing ever and she did an amazing job......as did dell......it was his first time too.....we had a blast!!!!


steve.......never skied before but is an awesome snowboarder........jackson is begging to learn to snowboard......we'll have to see what we can do, but these kind of sports get rather expensive for large families......




haley working away at her schoolwork.........



.......deep in thought.......





......and jackson, having a rare moment of serious thought....had to capture it cause he's constantly out of his seat and squirming and goofing off......gotta love the guy.......definitely makes school interesting at our house.......







february 10th~ i'm 30!!!!!!

dell bought me a camera!!!!! canon 50D!!! i love it and am learning alot and have loads more to learn.......i'm sure you will see the quality of photos improve over time, so bear with me.....
we had a dual birthday celebration at tim and teresas.....we bought haley what she asked for....."warm smartwool socks" and "extra warm mittens." i also found this sthethescope-sp?
at the thrift store.......she loves listening to everyones heart and lungs.....

i've never had an apron in my adult life and thats what mom got me for my birthday......thanks mom...... i love it and i use it all the time!!!!






february 9th~ we're in double digits!!!!

my baby has turned 10!!!!
she was so excited when she woke up and was beaming as she announced,"i'm in double digits!!!"
within the 1st few minutes of being up, we had karen, andrew and abbey stop by to wish her happy birthday, bringing gifts and hugs.....she ate breakfast and then headed to the barn....her home away from home.....haley's been taking english riding lessons for the past year and is doing so well....she will be in a local horse show june 20th where she and her honeyrock horse, ginger, will be judged on form and technique. she is so excited!!!
before heading to the barn, she received a birthday phone call from namaw and grandpa

haley with becky, the honeyrock ranch coordinator who happens to be her riding instructor and good friend......we LOVE becky!!!


another gift from another great friend robyn....... a felted wool hat that matches the mittens robyn made her for Christmas.



we love our honeyrock family!!!
