Cabin Fever

A few weeks ago, Steve, Alex and I were able to go up to Steve's co-worker's cabin for the night. At first, I was none too thrilled about having to drive for two hours, in the snow no less, to sit around and watch t.v. all evening. I was trying hard to be a good sport, but don't think I did the greatest job of it. The next morning, the storm had blown through and it was a beautiful sunny day. We were able to pull out the 4-wheelers and go riding. It definitely did my cold, winter-jaded soul good to get out into the fresh air. We had a great time, and got back home just in time for the next storm to come through that night. Yes.... more snow... blehhhh! I do have a little spark of hope in my heart right now knowing that tomorrow is the first day of March... light at the end of the tunnel!

Forty Niners Forever

I've been a 49er fan since I was about 10 years old. My Grandpa Jacobson was a big fan, and so I like to think it's in my blood. And so... I now pass on that legacy to the next generation.


It was a heartbreaking loss on Sunday, but a season to be proud of. Looking forward to next year. Also looking forward to seeing who prevails out of Steve and myself in persuading this lad as to which die hard fan he'll be... 49er for me, Steelers for Steve. Seeing that Alex loves to visit San Francisco, I think I've got the advantage at this point. And like I said, it's in his blood!


The Rest of December

I'm not behind or anything. Soooo.... here are some highlights from the rest of the Christmas season...

Alex loves to make Christmas cutout cookies. It is such a pain, but worth it in the end to make those memories, right?

Alex had a part in the Kindergarten sing-a-long. Their shirts said "Class of 2025"... how cute is that?

Of course you can't let December go by without a trip to Temple Square.
Christmas Eve at the Kujanpaas. Looks like a Wise Man is hitchin' a ride on the donkey.

Christmas morning, the sled was perfect timing since we got so much snow over Christmas.

It was fun having my parents here for Christmas. Alex is the best dressed member of our family, thanks to having a fashionista for a big sister. Like the bowtie?

What better way to cap off 2012 by welcoming home my nephew, Erik from his mission in Indonesia! He came home on New Years Eve night.


Welcome home Erik and welcome to 2013!
