Playing in the Snow!

Today was such a good day! We woke up and it was beautiful, the snow was falling and everything was covered in a white blanket. It was perfect. So we made breakfast, and decided to venture outside to have some snow fun! We started by building a snowman family. It was neat because this was actually the first snowman that I have built (at least that I remember). Yeah... CRAZY, I know! After we built our family Jordan and I made snow angels, (it is kinda hard to get up from the snow without ruining it! I don't know how they make perfect ones in the movies). During this time we were throwing snowballs at each other, and then to top off the morning we went to the school behind our house and went sledding down the hill. It was so much fun.


We came home, ate lunch, and then put the kids down for a nap. after they woke up, we cleaned up the house in preparation for the kids to have a babysitter that night. We went on an adult dinner to Ruby River to celebrate my birthday! It was very relaxing. It is nice to have some adult interaction for a change, without the constant pulling and trying to entertain children throughout! My birthday present from Ryan was a WII Fit. I LOVE IT! I have used it everyday since getting it. In fact the whole family enjoys it. Hopefully it will help me lose some weight, or at least get toned. I need it!

Anyways... It was a wonderful day! Thank you all for making my birthday Wonderful!

Christmas continued....

Christmas Morning! The kids
showing off their goods from Santa!


We really loved being in California and visiting everybody. It was so much fun and I am so glad that we were able to squeeze in a family picture (We missed you Todd and family!!!) The kids really loved being able to spend time with their cousins. They sure do have fun together, and boy when they all get together they are filled with more energy than usual (That's saying that they are pretty WILD, because they are ALWAYS filled with energy) We were lucky... We were able to make it to the Harrison family Christmas party as well as the Gardner family Christmas party, so we got to see family that we don't normally get to see. It was nice to get together! Thank-you for letting us come and visit! We sure did have fun! You guys are welcome to come to Idaho whenever your schedule will permit you to! You will always have a place to stay!

Christmas in California

I know I'm a little late, but I figure, Better late than never! I didn't have my camera with me most of the time, so I didn't get a lot of pictures (BUMMER!) But I did at least get some pictures of the kids on Christmas morning! Jordan got Bumblebee from Transformers (just what he wanted) and Elly got a Barbie (what a girl! she was asking for one).

Our Baby girl's room

When we got back from California, I decided I wanted a project. So, I decided to start getting the baby's room ready while I still felt like doing it! I knew I wanted it to be brown and pink, but not too pink. So I decided to do the walls chocolate brown and tan and then have pink accents. I pained and then I looked for a cute bedding that would look good. Here is what I came up with.
