Christmas Pictures

Time Fly's

I can't believe it has been since Dec. 17th since I last made a blog.  Well we went through graduation for Shane (mike).  We moved into our new townhouse about the first week of January.  I is really nice and we love it.  We have gotten so much snow this winter. I wish I had some good pictures to post for all of you that are far away from Rexburg.   I started working for home now, I have to be disciplined to work when Lacey is sleeping.  I am getting about 18 hours a week.  I am going to apply to teach swimming lessons this summer up at green canyon.  I need to teach this year or I will loose my certification.  I am really excited for the summer.  Shane is also excited for the summer because we bought a quad sport 4 wheeler.  The sand dunes are really close to us here and he wants to ride up there a lot.  Which is fine with me because I like to ride and their is a little lake up there in the sand that me and the kids can play in while Dad is riding the four wheeler.  Shane's job is going better, we were worried at first because they weren't giving him many hours.  He really likes it though, he never did like physical labor jobs and he is glad to have is degree.  Shane is also going to Master's school through Walla Walla WA.  There is an extension program in Idaho Falls and Missoula MT where he will attend both locations in the next year, But it is only one year and he will be done.  Enjoy the pictures and video's I am about to post, they are some of my favorites this winter.  The family picture was just taken 2 days ago so it is really recent.

Gabe Skiing

So this was a great day. Gabe and I (Michelle) went up with Shawn and Diane to Grand Targhee for Gabe's first time skiing. He did so good. I was nervous at first because he was scared and starting to get mad. I was scooting on my knees holding onto the tips of his skis, holding it in the snowplow position (we called it making a pizza). About half way down the bunny hill i was able to let go and he was slowing himself down. For about the first hour I was just walking. I really didn't think that he would get good enough for me to snowboard (I couldn't find my ski's) because when I snowboard I knew that I wouldn't be able to help him as much. But sure enough he did improve so much that that last 2 hours I snowboarded while he skied. I was really fun. Gabe skied nonstop for about 3 hours. I kept asking him if he wanted to take a break in the lodge or keep skiing and he said everytime keep skiing.

Mike's (Shane) Graduation

Everyone is invite to come to Mike's graduation on Dec. 14th (Friday) at 7:00 pm in the Hart (but we aren't sure about the location) We have a few tickets to the large graduation with the speaker it starts at 5pm. We may all go out to eat for a celebration afterwards. This is a great occasion that doesn't come by often in the Oldfield family.

Gabe's Birthday

Well Gabe loved his 4th birthday. His Grandpa Oldfield came up the Saturday before and brought him a battery operated 4 wheeler. He loves it and can drive it really good. The problem is we have no where to store it in the trailer. But Gabe doesn't care about that. We made cupcakes for his birthday cake and all of his friends gots to blow out their own candle.

Santa

So ran into Santa at Mommy's and Me's. We only went there because the daycare at the gym was closed after 1 pm on a Saturday. But it turned out great because we got this picture. Lacey was scared of Santa so the only way she would be in the picture was for me to be in it too. So there I am with no make up (I was planning on working out not getting my picture taken)
