THE RACE!

After we had a few beers we got recruited by the ski patrol in their "Annual cafetria tray sledding race". It was hillarious! You have to pick a tray out from the cafeteria and walk up this hill and sled down the hill! I only made it half way down because Amber and I ran into each other. Maybe next year! I will have to polish up my tray sledding abilities.

It's Pabst Blue Ribbon Time!

In Sun Valley Kevin introduced us to a tradition that we will never forget! That beer is PABST BLUE RIBBON, you got it!



What a day!

Sun Valley, ID (Feb '07)

This is all pre-pregnancy, but I am having soo much fun loading these pics I thought I would show some of of the things we did this past year! Here I am doing a snow angel in my snow bunny attire before we hit the slopes.
Here I am getting ready to hit the slopes with my new ski gear that Andy had gotten me for my birthday this past year...seriously I am such a SPAZ!

Here we are on top of the mountain. FYI the entire top of the mountain was ice, it was soo scary but we still managed to get in a couple of runs. Kudos to Kevin and Andy for being soo patient with Amber and I. :-)

Thanksgiving at our house

Here is the Howard clan at our house for Thanksgiving this year. Andy and I hosted about 18 people! We had soo much fun. Here is everyone from left to right. Back row starting from the left: Corban (Ann's husband), Ann (in front of Corban, Andrew's sister), Lance (Andrew's dad), Moe (Andrew's mom), Alan (to the right of Lance, Andrew's brother), Alicia (in front of Alan, Andrew's sister), Alex (next to Alicia, Andrew's brother), Kevin (Amber's husband), Amber (in front of Kevin, Andrew's sister), Andrew and last but not least me. Whew!
The really cool thing about being pregnant is that Ann(Andrew's sister) is just 5 weeks ahead of me! We are prego at the same time. Tiffy (Andy's cousin) is rubbing both of our bellies. Here I am 20 weeks and Ann is 25 weeks. The crazy thing is that neither one of us is finding what what we are having!!!!

Here is everyone that went up to cut down the Christmas tree, we had soo much fun!

Cutting down the Christmas Tree

After Thanksgiving we all drove up to the Santa Cruz Mountains to cut down our Christmas tree. This specific tree farm we have been to before and like to go back because you get a view of the ocean! It is beautiful! You can't see the ocean in the picture of Andy and I but it was such a clear day and we had soo much fun! Here I am next to the tree that we decided on, what a dork! (BTW in these pics I am 20 weeks prego)



Alicia (Andy's sister) is holding the tree while Andy cuts it down.

Aren't we cute!!
