Nobody's in here...

Whenever we leave the house, we put our little dog, Bear, in his little kennel in the laundry room. And every time we pull onto our street Libby YELLS, "I"M GETTING BEAR OUT!" And so it's pretty routine at our house to let her get the dog out. The same ritual happened today, but I noticed that after about 15 minutes, I still hadn't seen the dog or Libby for that fact. As I walked to the laundry room, I couldn't hear a thing, but noticed the door was closed. "Where were they?", I wondered. So I quietly opened the laundry room door and this is what I saw. I actually had my camera in hand because I was playing around with it, so I took this picture. Then this voice yelled out, "Nobody's in here!" Total out of site out of mind! So there she sat under the blankie and in her own little world, doing who knows what, with her best little buddy Bear...and life was good!
(I love how the blanket even says her name on it!)

Sagey Poo is 8

My girls are getting older and so this just means one more thing...I'm getting older!How does this happen? Sage is 8 today and when I think of Sage all I can do is smile. :) Sage is carefree and easy going. She really reminds me a lot of myself as a kid. Especially the messy bedroom! :)
We love Sage and all of her unselfish acts she does every day. We love her hugs, her giggle when she's excited about something, and her sense of adventure. Sage is a friend to everyone and oh how I love that girl! Happy B-day Sage!

Our traditional birthday breakfast in bed!

Sage celebrated her birthday at the bowling ally with a few of her friends. It was so fun to see all of the kids having such a great time being together. I love watching all of these kids growing up.

Sage got an ipod for her b-day and it takes video. Can't wait to watch that video! :)

We bought Sage her baptism dress today and she is so excited to be baptized.
Age 8 is a great age! Love you Sagey!

Shane flies

First of all, sorry for the blurry photos. Shane snagged the camera on the way out, but didn't realize the memory stick was still in the computer. Oooops! So these were taken with a high quality phone camera. Nice!
Shane's employees gave him a certificate last year for this iFLY indoor skydiving. Since the end of the year is upon us, it was about time he use it. The girls and I watched and loved it. We all want to have our turn. Next time! It was so cool and maybe if I did it I could cross off skydiving off of my Bucket List. Would that count?

The wind tunnel is 45 feet high and his instructor did all kinds of cool acrobatics in the tunnel. Good times, good times!

Top of Snowbird

Kate, Sage, Ann and Shelby

Last weekend our good friends the Barkers invited us to head to Snowbird for the day. They were collecting food for the Food bank and if you brought a can of food, you could ride the tram up to the top for free. Can't beat that can you?

Lexi and one of her many boyfriends, Jarom.

Ski season is right around the corner... :)
