Jackson Hole

We took the girls to Jackson Hole today. In my thirty plus years of going to the cabin, we have never been to Jackson Hole. At least as part of the cabin trip. I think I have been here with my family when I was little. Anyway, Jackson Hole is only 45 minutes away and Jorja thought it would be fun to check it out. There was a cute square that had an outdoor ice rink on it. Too bad it was $12 a person. Lots of souvenir shops and a delicious pizza restaurant. I had the Chewbacca pizza and it was so so good! It had honey on it for random. Why have I never put honey on pizza before?

I made Jorja stop and take a picture while we were leaving the pizza restaurant. Look in the background. The resort ski hill is right there. It looked sooo cool! Doesn't look amazing in pictures, but I thought it was great! Jorja was wanting me to hurry. The rest of the group had already crossed the street and I was being slow. Haha.

 Of course I had to send this picture to Jordyn

Three other girls came up today. Kelsey, Kate and Ella. Kelsey is the head cheerleader and they had a competition this weekend. They did great and got second in region. Just a few points shy of a nationally ranked school. Pretty cool. Kate had youth conference. It was so cool of these girls to come up for a bit! Kelsey and Kate are going home tomorrow. Crazy girls!

We went night sledding and it was so fun! Kelsey has never played in the snow before! WHAT? I had her wear my snow stuff and I wore a cabin snowsuit. She had a blast! I have no pictures because it was so dark, but it was pretty fun.

We left Wyoming about 6:30 in the morning. The roads were bad, but not the worst we have ever been through. We made it home just after 9. I dropped Maysen and Sam off and went straight to church. Stockton was having his Priesthood Preview. I snuck in the back just as Mike was getting up to give his talk. He did a great job. He talked about Preston's baby rules (which made Stockton smile) and how when you get the priesthood the baby rules don't apply anymore. Baby rules by the way are things like: If I see it it's mine, if I want it it's mine, if you have it it's mine, if it's yours it's mine . . . . Anyway, I was glad I was able to make it, even though I just came in my travelling clothes.

While I was gone, Mike took Jorja to American Fork and got her a red-eyed tree frog. She named him Padz. She has been working really hard to earn enough money for him. I think Mike helped her out A LOT by giving her jobs we would have normally had her do for no money, or paying her more than normal. Anyway, she really wanted this frog because she is the VIP next week and gets to bring a pet in on Friday. Along with Cricket, she wanted to bring this one. Plus, she has her daddy wrapped around her little finger.

Jorja & Padz

Stockton had some reading he needed to do for school. He does not like the book he is reading and wonders how it ever got published. (He is reading The Golden Fleece and the Heroes Who Lived Before Achilles.) Anyway, Jorja and Preston were having a great time playing the piano in the room Stockton was trying to read in. I talked him into reading in our bed with the heated mattress on. He looked so cozy I just had to take a picture.

That is about all for today. It was fun to take Maysen on a quick get-away. Maysen really enjoyed it . . . but it is so good to be home!
