"Wrestlemania" at the Gomez house

This year all (3) boys joined a wrestling club. It was intense. Three practices a week and a tournament every weekend. The boys got in good shape and learned a ton. We were so thankful to find such a great coach and program. Todd also became an assistant coach and had a great time with the team. The team pictures will be in soon and we'll post those when we get them. In the mean time, here are a few photos of the boys doing their new favorite past-time after practice.





Everett is too strong for his own good!

This year we were lucky enough to be invited to watch a friend's cabin while they were away at Disney World. They have (2) huge white Labs and a beautiful cabin in Pine Top Arizona. This is (3) hours north of us and much, much cooler. We enjoyed a white Christmas and were inundated with snow almost every day. We were able to keep the fire going at all times and Ethan worked on some of the skills he will need next year in Boy Scouts. He loved chopping wood and starting the fire. We built (2) snowmen and went snow boarding and enjoyed our Christmas together. It was great to be in the snow for 10-days, but it was also nice to get back to the valley where we could drive without worry of the ice.

Too cold to move.

Tastes like snow.

More icicles.
