Oh hey.

It’s been a while.

Whateves.

Cliff notes version of our lives … ready … set …. go.

(and yes, I am fully aware this post should be split into about nine separate posts … once again …. whateves.)

The ever so Lovely Ransoms came to visit this summer.  

And seriously … when the heck did everyone grow up?

 

We spent some time up at Silver Lake with the Ransoms and the Church family

This is probably one of our very favorite pictures of Winter … ever.

We headed down to Cedar City in July for a weekend of camping and spending time with family

Had a rather hairy birthday party for my mom in August …

 

Had a wonderful wedding and introduced some more estrogen into the Hicken family in August. 

Woot woot Max & Brittney.

 

Drove out to Denver in Sept to see our Fillmore side

 

Took in a little hike with the McKinnons and Melayna while we were there …

Watched Clara and Winter kinda sorta become friends …

 

Bought a new camera lens and tested it out on this loverly guy.

Sent these wonderful missionaries out into the mission field – the DC temple mission is lucky to have them.

Enjoyed the awesome fall weather …

Took some family photos in October ….

Had our annual Halloween Hicken party ….

Drove to Cedar City for Thanksgiving with the Hicken side …. and had some awesome pizza on the way.

Mitchell had a serious man crush on our pizza man and his dough tossing skills ….

And took pictures of this girl who can’t seem to keep a straight face anytime the camera comes out.

And celebrated one of the coldest weddings EVER …

Dan & Mara – thanks for getting married and all …. but no thanks for getting married in December.

Oh and two more pictures because there clearly were not enough pictures in this blog post.

And now some Winter videos for you viewing pleasure
