Christmas, New Years, New Tooth and Barfing

So much to report!  I'll just let the pictures do most of the talking!

Here's us in the Denver airport, which we got well acquainted with, after landing there twice, and being delayed there twice in one day. The Salt Lake Airport closed and wouldn't let us land.  We all have headaches and are losing our patience here.  Don't we hide it well?
After arriving in Salt Lake, we enjoyed hanging out with our families, especially the kids!
Timmy got to enjoy Belle, the dog, at Macha's house.  He especially liked her from the highchair, where she couldn't lick him and wack him in the face with her happy tail swishing.
OK - Scott has my permission to delete this if he is so inclined, however, I had to post it because I thought it was HALARIOUS!  Sophie was kind enough to provide sleeping Scotty with a pink blankey and a bear to make his nap more enjoyable.

Snowshoeing in Red Pine.  Timmy's first snowshoeing trip!  He's all bundled up and toasty warm!
Here he is again after SLEEPING for an hour in the pack despite several tumbles as we cascaded the mountain side on our way down.  We were amazed at his ability to sleep through the bouncing and powder.

We love Utah mountains!!

Daddy definitely became the favorite parent on this trip.  Timmy just clung to him!

Here he is getting into wresting with Daddy more and more as the girls showed him the way.

This is our fond farewell to the Preliminary Exam beard.   Scott got cleaned up for the temple the next day.

We had the privilege of going to the temple for Scott's cousin Jimmy, who passed away sadly last Christmas.   Here is Scott and his mom coming out of the Jordan River Temple last Tuesday evening.

Our good friends, the Hopkins were in town as well, and we got to meet their little boy!!  What a doll!

Here's the Parker clan heading up to the cabin for an overnighter!  Macha was so nice to hike up with Timmy so he could be with the family, and take him down so he could sleep.  He had a great time that way!

Timmy really enjoyed hanging with the cousins!

Looking for moosies

Everybody loves Gwampa!

Here's Timmy,  pre-haircut, with his Macha.

Here he is, post-haircut, with me.  His hair sticks straight up when it grows out!

Grandma Parker took us all to the Discovery Gateway!  The kids had so much fun!

It was a great trip!  Great time to be with the family!  After we got home, we saw that Timmy had...

HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!  At age 13 months it was about time!!!

Then, Scott and l got a horrible stomach flu and spent many an hour feeling sorry for ourselves and missing work.  We are getting back into things now!! :)  Purell is your best friend everyone!  Keep it close by you!
