Here are some pictures I took on our getaway to Island Park. I love taking pictures! I'm not too great at it, but I truly do enjoy it! Doug always laughs at me because I have about a million pictures! :) Oh well, I love having some type of hard copy for memories sake. This first pictures is on Red Rock Road looking to the northern mountain range just off of Henry's Lake. The last three pictures are from a ride we went on. The cabin we stayed at wasn't too far from the Johnny Sac cabin, so we made a loop around there & stopped to let Hazen feed the fish & the ducks. There was also a coral for loading/sorting cattle near the Meadow Creek turnout & I had to take a picture to show how much snow was up there! I was even told that the amount of snow up there now is actually below average! WOW. . . ! It was a fun experience, & a great time!

Island Park Getaway . . .

Fun for our lil family!!!! We spent the weekend at a friend's cabin in Island Park. We had tons of fun hangin out together & riding our sleds. Hazen Loooved it! He would cry & tell me, "I wanna ride . . ." if he wasn't able to go on a particular ride. He doesn't like to be left out at all. Sadly at the "almost" age of two, he already knows what getting left out is! He's quite the kid! He does something new pretty much each day, & puts the biggest smile on both our faces! One good thing about Hazen is, he's usually ALWAYS happy. We call him our "Happy Hazen." :)

Hazen was showing us how cool he was riding Mom's sled. Actually, at this point in the ride he wasn't wanting a single picture. The sun was in his eyes, & he was starting to drift in & out of a nap. He was a trooper though, & made sure he tried his hardest to NOT fall asleep. One question for ya'll . . . Does Hazen look like a girl? . . . all weekend he got called a lil girl???!! People would point & say "what a cute lil girl!" . . . HONESTLY, do people not know that normal people dress babies in color coordinate to their sex? I mean, I wouldn't be taking my new baby boy home in a pink onsie, & pink receiving blanket?!!! . . . Come on people, he's dressed in baby blue for heck sake!

Hazen loves is Dad! He was just so happy to be with Dad all weekend long with no interruptions! . . . I have to admit, it was great to have us all there together & having lots of fun. I love this last (bottom) picture of Hazen. He was being so cute & singing Once There Was a Snow Man! :) He loved being outside in the snow, & I think this picture shows how truly Happy Hazen really was, & is. :)

New Years Day! 2009

4 years ago Doug asked me to marry him on New Years Day . . .I honestly can't believe where the time has taken us! We've had our good days, & our bad days, just like everyone else. . . But I'm so happy we're where we are today! Thanks Doug, you are the best, & I appreciate all you do for Hazen & I!

Neat ole' shed & windmill on top of Rexburg Bench.

Bull moose that we came across up on the bench. Kinda cool, we were only about 30- 40 feet away from this dude . . . I love stuff like that! :)

Grandpa & Grandma Kinghorn's 60th Wedding Anniversary

I love & appreciate them very much! Thanks for all the support & love you have shown me, & my little family. Congratulations . . . hope we get to enjoy many more years together!!

Hazen's Christmas 2008

Hazen was so cute on Christmas morning. He didn't quite know what to think about tearing into any presents though. He got his favorite cartoon character "Pablo" from the Backyardigans! . . . That's all we ever watch at our house! :) Grandma & Grandpa Torgerson spoiled him & got him a lil 4 wheeler, & he absolutely loves it! . . . Thanks Ken & Renay, we love you guys!

Christmas Eve 2008

So for the Kinghorn Klan it's tradition to get together every Christmas Eve for dinner, The Christmas Story, & also for our gift exchange. We always have lots of fun! Some other traditions we have are, opening p.j.'s on Christmas Eve, & also an ornament to hang on the tree. All of us girls & Wyatt, have really enjoyed this & so far we've done a really good job with keeping up w/ our traditions. :) Love you guys!

Housten: Sporting his new John Deere Work Gear . . . What a cutie!

Christmas Trees 2008

Christmas Decorations 2008! . . .

This year I ended up w/ two trees. It's actually kinda ironic because I was thinking about getting a small tree to put on our kitchen table so Hazen wouldn't get it. Anyhow, long story short I got the real tree from a friend who shot it w/ his shot gun . . . yep he actually went "Tree Hunting", & my artificial tree was spur of the moment on a good buy from Walgreen's. :) We had fun decorating, & Hazen was really good about leaving them be. His favorite part about the decorations was every morning he had to plug the lights in. After he'd plug one tree in he'd say "Awh . . . cute", stand there for a minute & then run to the next one to plug it's lights in. Just because of that I'm so happy that I wasn't lazy & got my tree(s) up! :)
