Playing Catch Up

I guess I am loosing a bit of motivation to keep up on my blog.... But for some special reason motivation has crept in tonight and I am going to post! It could be the fact that tomorrow is the only day I do not wake up to teach an aerobics class in the morning, or it could be that we are expecting baby #3, and I have yet announced it on my blog, or it could be that we just went on wonderful family trip to Disney Land, Sea World and the beach house and I want to share a few of the cute pictures.
None the less... here it is.

Greeen Smoothies: An New Mink Family Breakfast Tradition


Christmas:Because Christmas was many moons ago I will not take time to post all the pictures. Just a few, so I can remember the moments!
Grandpa Worley playing with the boys.
Christmas Morning was like a dream come true to these boys! Especially Collin who had been VERY anxious for Santa to come. (I don't think these pictures quite justify)

Jena and Shane seem to be pretty happy.

Here my bro Sam is busting out huge willies on his new mountain bike.

Christmas Crafts

Sledding on Cedar Hills Golf Course
We were checking out the long horn sheep right next to us sledding. Dave LOVES that kind of stuff.

And then I walked back in to find what Collin had taught Casen to do...

Halloween and Thanksgiving

I feel quite a bit out of the blogger world. It has been many moons since I have posted anything. So I am going to go back a bit, just for my own sake and put up Halloween and Thanksgiving pictures :)

Our whole family went golfing together and loved it... to say the least. Every hole the boys would jump out, hit their ball, go get it, and jump back in the cart. Dave is a wild driver, a few times he almost lost me and the boys. No joke. At the end we were so cold, but endured. I passed on the last few holes because I was too cold.
Making Cupcakes






On Halloween we had SO MANY leaves to rakes. It literally took us all day! Collin and Casen enjoyed jumping in our piles and riding in the wheel barrel.
















After finally finishing leaves, Collin, Casen and I went trick or treating. After my mom, little bro Coleson and Jena and Shane came over to make caramel apples, play games and watch a movie.



I didn't have any good pictures of us in Costumes on Halloween day... but here are pictures from another Halloween party






This thanksgiving we went to Grandma and Grandpa Minks house. On the way there we stopped in Durango Colorado and stayed in a hotel fromt he 1800's. It was so cool. We went to a childrens Museum and ate lunch and then drove the rest of the way through to Albuquerque. We had quite a good time with all the family. The kids did crafts while the turkey was getting ready. We all went to the movies. Collin LOVED going to the show with his cousins at night time. He saw some cartoon with them and we went and saw New Moon. I liked it, but it bugs me that that girl is so obsessed with Edward. (just so any of you know... I did NOT read the books)
I also woke up at 4:00 am and went shopping! It ended up being so fun. The day before my sister-in-laws and me planned out all the places we were going. The first part of the morning we were in 2 different groups so we could get all the good deals. It was definitely my favorite part of the trip. For now on every year I want to do the same thing.
Anyhow.... here are some pics
