We went up to Island Park, Idaho in February. We all had a great time snowmobiling and playing in the snow!
Here's what we look like whenever we stop to make sure everyone is alright.
Grandma Linda is going to kill us for putting this picture on our blog. But this is the only one we got that you can tell is her.

Daddy stayed in the room with Benny a couple of times so mommy could go for a GOOD snowmobile ride!

We were sliding down this snowbank out in front of the lodge. Benny thought it was great fun.

The whole family hanging out on the snow bank.

Grandpa Clayton gave me a funny look when I took this one!

Benny didn't even make it out of the parking lot on one of our snowmobile rides before he fell asleep.

This is dad and Skyley at Big Springs. This is where the Snake River begins. The water is so clear and there are the biggest rainbow trout that you can feed. Benny dropped one of his gloves in the river, luckily mom had an extra pair of mitten's with her.

Benny totally slept most of this ride in mommy's arms. He made it very tricky to drive.

By the time we got to Island Park the first night it was dark. That did not stop the girls from following uncle Jeff's lead. He thought it would be fun to jump off the balcony into the snow bank.

Turns out it was fun and the girls were out there for at least an hour jumping away. When they came in it took about 10 minutes to pull off all the snow caked clothes.

Baylee was taking a break.

Skyley cheesed for the camera!

Jeff has Benny trying to warm up his hand after he dropped his glove so we could head back to the lodge.

This was such a good time! We were snowmobiling all over Henry's Fork Lake. A couple of times we saw spots of water and it totally freaked Emily out.

















Ben's Grandpa, Ray Loughton died on New Year's Day. We took the kids up to see him the day before he died. Skyley had a really hard time seeing her Great Grandpa looking so sick. Baylee and Benny were not affected as much. We went up with Ben's family to see him this summer. These are the last pictures we got of him. This one with four generations of Loughton's is especially neat!







The Cabin March 15, 2008

When we went to The Cabin a couple of weeks ago. We had tons of fun in all this snow. Jen's parents cabin is at Strawberry. We got soooo much snow this year. We haven't spent as much time enjoying the snow as we should. Jeff is taking Benny sledding off the roof. Casey and Skyley are here for moral support. We had a fun weekend hanging out with the family.
Jeff and Emily are helping Benny because he wanted to come sledding too! Mom , Uncle Tim, Jeff and Grandpa Clayton went on a great snowmobile ride the next day.

Here's Baylee all ready to tear up some snow!


Benny is all bundled up to go sledding. We have to snowmobile into the cabin so we made sure he was super warm!



Look at all the snow we got at the cabin! We were all sledding off the roof. Tim was trying to break the snow off the very tip of the roof.
