sledding

Wow what a year it's been so far. We were up north this past weekend for my grandma's funeral, it was so beautiful and I know that my grandpa was pleased with how everything went. We got up there on sat. and met up with all of my brothers and sisters (minus kelz) to go sledding. So off we went to get the kids fitted with some snow gear since my kids have none what so ever. Lucky for me shari has 3 kids and had plenty of stuff for us, she even had boots!! So between becca and shari my kids looked like they belonged up north with all the snow. Anyway out into the cold windy day we went looking for a great time and boy did we find it! All the kids had a blast going down with all the different aunts and uncles and some were even brave enough to go down by themselves. Poor lexie lou went down by herself when no one was looking and went off the jump. She face planted and ended up with a scratched up face. A little while later codi went down by herself and hit a couple of bumps and out she flew into the snow face first. After tons of fun and a few tears, I decided that all of the gibsons needed to go down at the same time so we loaded up on all the sleds and on the count of 3 took off. becca and I were on the same sled and she fell off the back. What a crack up we were with everyone watching as 7 of us kids took off down an icy hill (polly was in the car). My mom recorded it and I have yet to see what it all looked liked but my dad said it was quite a site to see!! Just wait until we have all 9 of us going down an icy hill than that will be a site to see.
