Is it mountain bike season yet? Are the trails dry?? Everyone has a bike this year and we're all excited to get out into nature and explore. Here's to a fun bike season for 2025!
It's the Christmas season and we did a few things to celebrate the Christmas cheer this year. Diana and I and her friend Everett and his fun mom got a personal tour of the Ogden Christmas Village by none other than Mrs Clause herself! We even got a train ride too! I think it was the highlight of the season for Diana. Then we took the entire family to Luminaria at Thanksgiving Point to enjoy the spectacular lights throughout the gardens. As always, it was awe-inspiring! We attended the annual Phillips Family Christmas Party. Santa made an appearance and handed out gifts to all of the kids. Diana was terrified of him and quickly hid behind my chair when the jolly old elf came into the room. But, she quickly found her inner bravery and ran up to his lap when he produced a prettily wrapped present and called Diana's name. She was not going to miss out on her very own gift. It was so funny and so cute! Wishing a Merry Christma...

They shared their toys willingly and without being asked. Ah, thank goodness for small moments of sibling peace. :) On another note, we had our 24 week ultrasound on Friday. It's a boy!

Nobody is completely sure what they are looking at. ;>)
Ah, to finally sit down and write the longest blog entry of the year. How I dread, I mean look forward to this giant entry each year. We have so much fun and do so many things visiting our wonderful family and friends each summer that it feels a bit daunting trying to record it all in a single blog entry. Oh well, I'll give it a try. Hopefully I don't bore anyone too much. If you get sick of reading you can just skip through and look at the pictures. That's what I do when I get board reading someone else's blog. The pictures are the real fun of the post anyway. Our drive out to Utah this year was certainly an adventure in and of itself. We packed food, snacks, and drinks for two days, clothes and toys for three weeks, and three small children and two adults into our amazing Toyota Camry. It was a bit snug, but with some Tetras skills and a lot of patience we got all of it shoehorned in. I don't think there is anything that car can't do. The kids were...
