Our Family's Top 10 of 2010

We did so many fun things this year that it is hard to pick just 10, but we have narrowed it down.....
10. SKIING/SNOWBOARDING We all had ski passes to Solitude and it was crazy getting all the hats, gloves and boots on, but we loved skiing (the pure sport) and snowboarding. Alyssa learned this last year and she was a natural. Bubba tried some snowboarding and all I can say is I am glad I make him wear a helmet. That kid has no fear and just took right off.
9. RIVER RAFTING We got to go up to Jackson Hole and run the Snake River with Paul's brother and his kids. The kids loved the rapids and hanging on to the boat being crazy. We also got to experience a huge hail storm!
8. CAPITAL REEF We got to go to Capital Reef with Paul's family for Spring Break. We had a lot of fun hiking, swimming and playing with cousins!
7. CALF CREEK We got to go to Calf Creek with my family. We had fun camping, hiking, jumping off waterfalls and cooking over the camp fire!
6. OAKLEY We always have so much fun going up to Oakley to see my family. The kids ride the golf cart, go hot tubbin', see cousins, throw tomahawks, play dress ups and we all play killer night games!
5. BOATING We love to go out on Grandma Daybell's boat. We swim, play on the beach and go absolutely crazy on the tube. Grandma is by far the most daring and we all have so much fun!
4. MOVING TO OUR NEW HOUSE Moving to Springville was a huge adventure for us this year. We love our new house and new schools. Everyone has made great friends and we love our new ward. Sometimes Daxton still misses Pleasant Grove, but I am so proud of him for how great he has been and I hear through the grapevine (Jake and his friends) that he is very popular at school.
3. SPORTS We have so many kids that love and are great at sports. Our year was full of getting to cheer on our kids. Amanda and Alyssa played softball. Jake played Football and Basketball. Daxton played Football and Basketball. Rylan played Flag Football and Basketball. They sure keep us busy, but we love seeing them excited about life and proud of their accomplishments.
2. BEACH We spend an amazing week in San Diego playing on the beach! It was the first time that my kids really got to enjoy a beach and we could not keep them out of the water. San Diego is one of Paul and his kids favorite places. They loved staying in a condo right on the beach. We got to see lots of our family and just enjoy being a new family!
1. WEDDING Now there is some differences in opinion as to if the beach or the wedding is number 1, but since I am writing this, I say definitely the wedding!!! This is one of the highlights of my life! It was the perfect wedding and the start of our fun family. We were surrounded by family and we got to spend a lot of quality time with our kids.

WOW! We really had a great year! So far, 2011 has started off amazing. So many great things are happening for our family. We have so many fun things already planned, so stay tuned...you don't want to miss out on any of our adventures.
