Landon's First Basketball Game

These are some pics of Landon's first basketball game. He did awesome for his first game ever. He made 4 baskets and played really good defense. He's on the same team as a lot of his friends from school which makes it really fun.

Snowmass Colorado

It has long been a tradition in the Dickinson family to ski at Snowmass Colorado. This year both of my kids got to go. It was a first for Chase and both did ski school for two days. The boys did great and both got to ride the lift. This is a great family vacation and we all had a blast. The snow was the best I had ever seen and hopefully we'll get to go with my family again in the next few years.

Visit to the Kawa's

Chase, Landon, Paige, & Barrett

We were lucky enough to get to see our good friends, the Kawa's, a few times during our stay in Utah. 

My kids really miss having them being so close to us and so do I.

Chase and Kate's First Time on Skiis

My dad, my brother Keith, and I decided to take Chase and Kate skiing for the first time. We drove up to Sundance, rented the gear and walked up to the rope-tow. The first few minutes left you wondering if this was going to be a waste of time, but they quickly got the hang of it. Keith spooked Kate a little be letting go so she insisted she "needed a rest" for the remainder of the time.
It was a great time, but I think the kids enjoyed the hot chocolate and giant cookies more than anything else.

The Haslem Heard of Grandkids

For Gradma Josh this year we got all of the Haslem Grandkids together for a group picture that she could proudly display in her home. All of the kids did great, the picture turned out awesome, and it only took 5 min!

Merry Christmas!

This is a house in my dad's neighborhood. I wish you could see everything, this picture doesn't do the house justice.

Christmas

Christmas is a very busy time in our family.
Between the three grandparents households,
Papa Tom celebrating on Christmas Eve,
and every thing else going on during the holidays
we are non-stop for about 3 full days.
Our kids open presents for two days straight, but they're not complaining.
I love when it is all done and we can just relax and hang out with the fam.

Neil Young's Biggest Fan

Anyone who knows my dad knows that he is a huge Neil Young Fan. So what do you get the guy who has everything for Christmas? Well, we got him an autographed picture of Neil young with the original vinyl album. The pictures say it all.

Santa Clause is Coming to Town

Santa made an appearance at the Dickinson house hold this year. Every child sat on his lap with no hesitation or crying. We even managed to get 12 year old Caden to participate, what a good sport.

Landon's Christmas Program

While we were in Utah we enrolled Landon in school at Cherry Hill while we were there. These are pics of his Christmas Program.

The FIrst Big Snow

This was the first of many snowstorms during our time in Utah. Landon and Chase had so much fun playing football with Bryce.

Go Gougars!

Everyone who knows Landon knows that during the last six months he became obsessed with football. So you can imagine his excitement of going to his first college football game. He went to the pre-game tailgate party, won a T-shirt by throwing a football, and met Cosmo. Grandma and Grandpa Haslem, Uncle Ryan and Josh met Bryce and Landon at the game. At Halftime Landon got to see Uncle Ken and Booper. The best part of the night was that BYU won a close game and no one was cheering louder in the fourth quarter than Landon.

Halloween night

Halloween night was a huge success for our kids. They got to go with a few of their friends and collected enough candy to last for an entire year. Chase was a little exhausted towards the end of the night and didn't quite make it home to fully enjoy his stash. Landon on the other hand was more than ready to dig in and celebrate.
