Isom & Hudson Kids With Santa

During our trip to Las Vegas we decided to visit the Neiman Marcus department store. The Santa at Neiman Marcus was so great that instead of making us stand in line, he sought us out and told us to come and get pictures with him. When has that ever happened?

Merry Christmas Santa

Santa visited our church Christmas party.

Dog Mushing

My Uncle Jonathan and cousin Val took us on a dog mushing adventure. In order to get the dogs to go you yell "hike", stop is "woah", "gee" is right, "haw" is left.

Ice Fishing in Alaska

When we visit my family for Christmas in Alaska we often go ice fishing. Last time we didn't get very many fish. This year was great. We caught 22 fish and took turns taking hot chocolate breaks in the warm car. Maren caught the largest fish, Wells was the best fishing hole scooper. Sidney caught her fair share while Dean stayed in the car almost the entire time.

Sidney & Paige's Baptism

Sidney and Paige were able to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Nov. 30, 2008 in Henderson, Nevada by their dads. What a special day.

180/360 Wonders

I believe getting a good family photo is somewhat of a minor miracle. During Thanksgiving in Las Vegas my friend Kim (miracle maker that she is) captured us in what has been our best family photo yet. Thank you Kim!

Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur

This year while in Vegas we took the kids to the Tournament of Kings. What a dangerous job!

Before Mystère

This year for Sidney and Paige's birthdays we went to Cirque du Soleil's Mystère which shows in Las Vegas at Treasure Island. Sidney's cousin Paige was born 9 days before her and the two of them love to celebrate their birthdays together.
