so in the winter garretts family goes on a snowmobiling trip in the uintahs. this is year number 3 so i think we can consider it a tradition by now, that will hopefully continue. we stay at a place called bear river lodge in christmas meadows, utah, about 25-30 min. outside of evanston. it is a cute little group of cabins, that are homey, clean, and well kept. they also have a LARGE hot tub, that is wonderful to soak in at about 1:00 a.m. (that is davis time for most peoples 10:30-11:00 p.m.). luckily i am a bit of night owl myself. the past couple of years we have rented a snowmobile for one of the days, but we decided to save the money this year. anyone who knows me, knows that i have grown to hate the cold and the idea of being bundled in that many layers with a giant helmet that makes it impossible to hear anything except the noisy engine for hours (what seems like an eternity to me)...so needless to say i was none to sad about the idea of saving some money and skipping the snowmobiling part. now i know i sound really boring and negative, i really do enjoy being outdoors, just not in the cold anymore. i wish i did. anyway, it was really nice garrett and i got the whole cabin to ourselves all day saturday. we watched a movie, took naps, had some cheese and sparkling cider, and just lounged around all day. so so nice, that is a vacation if you ask me. sunday no one rented snowmobiles, so we all slept in, had a big breakfast, watched a movie, played games, ate some more, and just enjoyed each others company. oh and the hot tub, way later on. then it was home on monday. it was a very nice relaxing weekend, just what we needed! garrett with the sparkling cider
me with the sparkling cider, cheese, and yes that is a pink snuggie-thanks ash and brady!
the candy bar game
the ladies doin' a little cooking.
garrett with all of his green skittles 
he was lucky with the dice that night 
i have to talk about the famous "skittle game" - you have a large bowl of skittles in the middle of the table, everyone has there own smaller bowl and a straw. you quickly go around the table rolling a pair of dice. if you get a 7, 11, or doubles you get the big bowl of skittles and then you suck as many skittles into your own bowl with your straw, until of course someone else rolls 7, 11, or doubles, and they take it away. i must say i usually dominate as this game, until ginas husband teaguer came along, then i had some good competition. but not this time, first of all i NEVER rolled what i needed & every time i did (garrett was sitting right next to me) i kid you not he took it right away so i had time to maybe suck 1 or 2 skittles. i was furious!!!! and the worst part is, is that garrett only sucked the green ones..what is that about, and he won!!! he is usually not even a competitor in this game. just goes to show you, you never know whats going to happen. still mad at him..oh ya, he also got his highest score in yahtzee that night and rolled two yahtzees. he should have been in vegas instead.

Looks like a fun relaxing trip! Ya Mason would need some of Garrets luck in vegas... and I love your snuggie.. i want one!
You are so good at blogging didder - it makes me sick! Can I just pay you to do mine too?
how much we talking? i could think about that..jk now that you don't have school you should be able to squeeze it in. that would be quiet while brady is studying. you just need something to blog about...girls night?!
Looks like a fun little getaway! That is pretty crazy about the green skittles, I'm not going to lie, I have played that game too many times to know that is really hard to do. Also, YES you do usually dominate the skittles game. I will give you the credit you deserve lady. Looking forward to tomorrow!
