Fun with the Checketts

Chad and Tyler cruising down the sledding hill
Sydney and Gabbi after they crashed on their sled (these two are so cute)
Mckayla and Raegan just "hanging out"
Kalli and Kenzie with their pink cheeks after a couple of sledding runs
Maren and Cassie after we tried sledding (keep in mind snow clothes are not flattering and Maren did not own any, so I am the one who looks like the stay puff marshmellow man but I was warm)

I have a great friend by the name of Maren. Maren and I have been friends for years and years in fact Maren was probably my very first friend. Her mom and my mom were great friends as they were raising us in the older part of Mesa, AZ. While growing up Maren and I remained good friends even though we moved and they moved and we ended going to rival highschools our friendship always stayed intact. Maren has six kids, I have six kids. Maren's kids range in age from 9 yrs down to 6 months, my kids range from 9 yrs down to 11 months. She has three boys and three girls, I have three boys and three girls. Maren recently moved to Utah and I live in and love Utah...Unfortunately Maren does not share my love for Utah and especially the cold Utah winters. To try to get through and somewhat enjoy this Utah climate Maren and her husband invited my family to join them at a resort in Midway, Ut these last couple of days. We had a blast...It was extremely cold (at night it hit -1) but we had a blast. We went sledding and swimming. (my kids thought that was sooo cool to get to do both in one day) Thank you Maren and Jason for a wonderful time at the Zermott I hope that it kind of makes up for your miserable winter in UT!

Cassie seriously, one of the cutest pictures of the two of you. It's too bad you can't find one of the two of you when you were young. I bet you would be amazed at how little both of you have changes. Really, it's a darling pic!

Cute picture. It's fun to see that you and Maren have just picked up where you left off after ALL these years. You both are still hot mamas!
