A FAMILY TRADITION

EACH YEAR WE HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE TGR SKI MOVIE PREMIER  IN JACKSON HOLE.  THIS HAS BECOME A FAMILY TRADITION, BUT THIS YEAR NONE OF THE KIDS WERE ABLE TO COME  SO JEFF AND I  DECIDED THAT WE  HAD TO KEEP THE TRADITION ALIVE EVEN WITHOUT THE KIDS,  HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR THEY WILL BE  WITH US.  WE TOOK OUR BIKES AND RODE UP A REALLY PRETTY ROAD ALONG THE SIDE OF THE SNAKE RIVER WITH A VIEW OF THE TETONS.  AFTER THAT WE MET OUR FRIENDS THE STROBELS FOR DINNER AND THE MOVIE.  THIS SKI MOVIE IS ALWAYS  LOUD AND VERY EXTREME AND THIS YEAR IT DIDN'T DISAPPOINT....  AND JEFF EVEN SNAGGED A TEE SHIRT. 
 

OUR  BIKE RIDE. AND YOUR COULD FEEL FALL IN THE AIR.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND

I AM STILL TRYING TO CATCH UP ON SOME FAMILY ACTIVITIES. WE WENT TO PARK CITY FOR LABOR DAY AND WE STARTED WITH THE GIRLS GOING TO SWISS DAYS IN MIDWAY ON FRIDAY. HAILEY LOVED HER OWL HAT AND WOULDN'T TAKE IT OFF EVEN THOUGH IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE.




WE PLAYED ON THE PLAYGROUND WITH HAILEY AT BEN AND MICHELLES APARTMENT WHILE WAITING FOR THE BOYS TO GET OFF WORK.








WE SPENT SATURDAY PLAYING AND HANGING OUT TOGETHER. GRANDPA AND PHYLLIS CAME UP AND WE ALSO SPENT TIME WITH KELLE AND HER FAMILY.


UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS THE ONLY PICTURE THAT I TOOK AT THE RESORT.





JEFF AND I AND BEN AND MICHELLE WENT UP TO SUNDANCE SKI RESORT ON MONDAY AND HAD A LITTLE PICNIC AND TOOK THE CHAIRLIFT UP THE MOUNTAIN. IT IS REALLY A BEAUTIFUL PLACE. I AM HOPING TO GET THERE THIS WINTER TO SKI.
















AND BEFORE WE WENT HOME WE HAD DINNER IN OGDEN WITH BRANDON, DAYNA AND HAILEY.







IT WAS A FUN WEEKEND THAT ENDED WITH THOSE CUTE LITTLE PIGGY TAILS. YOU HAVE TO LOVE HER. WE ALWAYS HAVE SO MUCH FUN WITH OUR KIDS AND LEAVING TO COME HOME TO IDAHO IS SOMETIMES VERY DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY LEAVING THAT CUTE SMILE.

SUMMERS LAST HURRAH!!

IT HAS BEEN A BUSY SUMMER AT THE SWANER HOUSE AND IT IS COMING TO AN END, BUT BEFORE WE FALL INTO FALL I DECIDED I HAD BETTER FINISH BLOGGING ABOUT OUR LAST FEW FAMILY ACTIVITIES.
AUGUST WAS BRANDON AND DAYNA'S 6TH ANNIVERSARY, AND THEY DECIDED TO COME UP FOR A LITTLE GET AWAY AND LET GRANDMA AND GRANDPA TEND HAILEY OVERNIGHT. HAILEY STARTED WALKING RIGHT AFTER WE SAW HER ON THE FOURTH OF JULY SO THE WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD SEEN HER WALK ON HER OWN. OH WHAT FUN WE HAD!
A TRIP TO THE FARMERS MARKET
IN STYLE.
SIDEWALK CHALK DRAWING
BUBBLE BLOWING
WHAT MORE COULD A GRANDMA AND GRANDPA ASK FOR THAN TO HAVE ALONE TIME WITH THE CUTEST LITTLE GIRL EVER.
PS... MORE ADVENTURES TO COME...I PROMISE.
