New Years Fun

New Years was filled with fun. My parents bought my kids a trampoline with enclosure for Christmas. They were so excited that they could hardly stand it. So Shelby thought it would be a great idea to put it up in my living room- "We have plenty of room and tall enough ceilings. Plus your kids would always remember this and would say that you were the coolest mom ever." This logic led to a giant trampoline in my living room. My kids love it- so I love it- but I'm not sure for how loooonnng I will love it.



I still have room for a somewhat scrunched living room on the other side.



On New Years Eve we had some friends and family over for a 'Trampoline party'. The kids went wild jumping all night and playing games while the adults ate good food and hung out. When they got sleepy we made a pillow pile and they all laid out to watch 'Peter Pan'. We didn't make it to midnight- just 11:00.

Then on New Years Day we headed up sledding on the butte behind Gooding with the Gillettes. The kids had a blast. We had several crashes and one major scare with Wyatt having a head-on collision that ended in him to a full air cart-wheel, but everyone was okay and the fun resumed. Here is one of many trips back up the hill:
The little kids later got on the large tube and were pulled all over. Livvy laughed and giggled the entire time. She was squished right in the middle of all the boys and loved every minute of it.

All the boys are getting ready to race down the hill- the big boys I mean :)
Shelby picked the wrong trail and seconds later he looked like this:


HILARIOUS! It was a great holiday with family and friends. We feel so blessed to have gotten to know so many fun and great people here again.

The trampoline in the living room has seriously got to be one of the coolest things ever! I'm going to have to use that idea. You will for sure be known as "the coolest mom" for a long long time to come.
