Man Trip 2009
Recently, a few us got together and headed up to Matt Aardema's cabin in the Uintah Mountains for the ‘The Annual Man Trip, 2009.’ This "event" began as an annual overnight backpacking trip on a Friday night; somewhere far away from civilization, where cell phones were unnecessary added weight to a carefully packed backpack. Slowly it has evolved into a semi-annual, three-day trip (could very well become quarterly) to a cabin, fifty yards from a major highway, equipped with most of the amenities needed for lot’s of Halo, rock-band and plenty of Will Farell movies. (Oh and a lot of farting)
The last two winter sessions of the trip, we began to deviate – albeit slightly- from the usual routine of playing Xbox all day and night to spending some time outdoors in the surrounding winter beauty. We brought some sleds and tubes and found a hill nearby. Luckily, there were no serious injuries.

Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year
The title says it all.. We are the world's worst bloggers.
Our yearly average of 1.083 posts per month (13 in 2008) doesn't seem so terrible. But when your last post was in September, you officially suck. So, as we were recently discussing New Year's resolutions, "not sucking at blogging" came right after losing Holiday weight.
As we began discussing why we suck at blogging, we noticed a few things:
1. We are as bad at taking pictures as we are at blogging
2. When we take pictures, we forget that they can be downloaded to a computer (a crucial part of blogging)
3. We may have forgotten our username/password once or twice
4. When you don't post regularly, it's difficult to go back and summarize what has happened over the last six months.
So here are a few pictures of what has been happening with our family since Eli's birthday.
Owen, Hannah and Eli looking at Great Grandpa's animals. We all had a campout up at his "ranch."
Three generations of Prisbrey and one generation of Kendell.
