Granite

We went to Granite Hot Springs last month and it was really fun. Alex had a great time riding on the cycles (snowmobiles). The weather was great and a good time was had by all!

Alex fell asleep on the rides in and out of the hot springs.

Fun in the pool!

What a cool view!

We Were Jammin'

Mark and I went on a little trip to Jamaica last week and it was sweet! We went to a Sandals all inclusive resort, and I highly recommend it. We had a butler who drove us around in a golf cart and stocked our fridge. Also we had an amazing suite with our own private pool and jacuzzi. Yes, we were spoiled.

Our fabulous butler Nicola!

Not only is the food included, so are the activities. We went out on this cool sail boat thingy, and we went snorkeling.

The food was delightful, and so was the company!

Christmas and New Years

Christmas was fun, we spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa Welch's house. Santa brought Alex a piano and a tractor trike! Alex was really cute, he couldn't decide what to play with!
After Christmas we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Toone, and we had lots more fun. Alex really liked to give the horse kisses and sit on her back.

Mark's and Alex's favorite thing was riding on Grandpa's four wheeler. They made lots of fun trails all over the lawn! We came home New Year's Eve and Mark was really sick, so he went to bed and Steph got to hangout with the Gilberts. We had a fun party!

Santa and the Deer

Well we had the Welch cousins Christmas party on Saturday and Santa came for a visit as well. For the past few weeks we have been showing Alex pictures of Santa and talking about how great he is. Unfortunately it only works with pictures of Santa, the real thing is much scarier. When Santa was getting ready to leave, Alex did point at him and say Santa!

Also, last week we were driving home from Salt Lake and we hit a deer. Hopefully it wasn't one of Santa's. If you look closely you can see some deer hair stuck in there!

Horse Riding

Alex got to sit on a horse over Thanksgiving.

He really liked it a lot, and now everytime

we see a horse he says, "Hi Horsey!"

Alex and Ace friends for life.
