Eating snow. for whatever reason, was fun for all the kids.
Seriously, this kid is so hard to photograph. Ugh.
Kinmans: Baylee, Remini, Lorie and Jarrod
Kinmans pretending to not be freezing.
Living in Phoenix, we don't see much snow. In fact, we see much of anything falling from the sky. For all that Phoenix lacks in winter weather, we can always drive a couple hours north and get all the white stuff we want. So after almost 5 years, we decided to take the kids up to Flagstaff to get our winter fix. To make the trip a little more exciting we cohabited with the Kinman Klan. Good Times.

So after almost 5 years, we decided to take the kids up to Flagstaff to get our winter fix. To make the trip a little more exciting we cohabited with the Kinman Klan. Good Times. The kids first reaction to the snow was very similar to a Christmas morning excitement. Squeals and screams of anticipation in the car driving up were fun to hear, but only for a minute. Prolonged car screaming is never cool, just a note to self.
As soon as we got there, and immediately following a conversation about who would bust their butt first, Ross fell on his bokahonkas. Don't worry, other than an injured pinkie and elbow, he was fine. The rest of us, however, grew pretty weary of hearing of these injuries all weekend.
The first day, we discovered a great sled hill. Well, it was great if you don't count Abbey and Remini's minor whiplash, and Abbeys face plant. Soon after this sled trip Abbey decided sledding was not her bag. We also made a small attempt to make a snowman. Eventually our efforts seemed pointless when our ADD crowd decided to just eat snow and climb wood piles.
The second day, we decided to actually leave the house and get some lunch. After 40 minutes waiting for a table and about the same amount of time waiting for our food, we were off to take some pictures downtown. The kids were pretty over the whole deal before we ever started, but I thought it would be nice to get a couple Weems family shots while I had someone there to help. Normally, our family shots involve me setting up the tripod and timer while hurling threats to my children to "smile or I'll spank" while trying to smile. So after some photo advice from Andrew to "suck your butt in Mommy!" I did my best. After getting home, I realized he was very right, profile shots are not for me or my bootay.
