February Remix

The end of January brought with it plenty of dancing to watch. On the 29th we headed up to Coalville to watch the Fauvines compete for Region against North Summit. Kylie is the one in the middle in case you can't tell.

The faithful fans!

Drill down

They took 2nd in Military, 1st in Dance, 1st in Kick and with that they became Region 14 Drill Team Champs!

Sunday the 30th we celebrated Dad's birthday. Another year older and wiser too....Happy Birthday, to you!!

Justin and Lane came down on February 2nd and we went to the circus. I was a little skeptical when we first walked in. But once it started I was rather impressed. When they did the globe of death they had four guys going in there. It was pretty crazy. The only camera I had was my phone and the darkness and bright lights didn't make for the best pictures.

During the intermission they had some of the animals out to take rides on and get pictures with.


I had a good time and I'm pretty sure that Justin and Lane did as well.

On Saturday the 5th we all headed down to UVU to watch Kylie at the state drill team competition.

Brody was SUPER excited to get to spend his day watching girls dance. Can you tell? That's what I thought.








I thought they did a great job. They took 5th in Dance and 1st in Kick, placing 5th overall.
After Kylie got done dancing Justin and I took Brody and Bridger and headed to Boondocks. We all had a blast. It was a little chilly out but we didn't notice it too much. We played mini golf, laser tag, drove the go karts, watched the XD theater and played arcades.




In keeping with tradtion Mom and I made cookies for Valentine's Day. We decided that we better give some of them away so that we wouldn't eat all of them.

If you didn't get any...sorry, maybe next year!

Slip Slidin' Away

2011 started out family style at the Bisel Family Christmas party. Justin and I picked up Brody and headed up to the cemetry where we found the Gunnerson's. We had a great time depsite the cold temperature (6 degrees).

Here's is proof that I actually went down the hill. I only went down three times and luckily Mom caught it.

Eli was a little trooper and even made a couple runs down the hill.

Justin and I

Luke and Brody

Noah - He looked so cold, but said that he wasn't.


When we got done sledding we went down to the church to join everyone else for brunch.


Aunt Billie Sue, Aunt Georia, Aunt Vicki, Uncle DeLoy, Aunt Bonnie, Mom and Aunt Judy Ann.


Brody had his first Jr. Jazz basketball game on Saturday the 8th. Unfortunately Brody and Luke aren't on the same team, but it just so happened that their teams played each other in their first game. It was fun to watch the two of them.

Mom went out to work on cleaning up Grandma and Grandpa's house after the game so I went with Dad to feed the horses. I was planning to head home after that when the boys (Brody and Bridger) called and asked me if we could go sledding. Even though I had no snow clothes with me I said why not. At least I had on my new boots so my legs and feet stayed nice and warm and dry.

We went back up to the cemetry since we knew the crowd would be small (just us), and the trail was already packed. We had a great time. Here's Brody catching some air coming off the "jump".

Bridger catching some air as well. The "jump" isn't that big but it produces some pretty good air.

I told Brody that he'd better keep his tongue in his mouth or he was going to be biting it off.
Paul was taking his last run down the hill and let the boys come down on the tubes so he was coming on the saucer. You can tell right from the start that things aren't going to end well.

The saucer really is under him. They are just that small.

Coming off the jump the snow starts to fly.

Things aren't looking so good. If you have ever wanted to white wash yourself I'm pretty sure this is the best way to do it.

That was a great way for Paul to finish the day.

Bridger's last air of the day.
I didn't get any still pictures of me coming down this day. I went down a couple times and decided that I would be okay to ride down with the camera. Needless to say I think I need to work on my sledding and videoing at the same time skills. I'll let you all know how that goes.
