Incredible Igloo

Our neighbors, Josh and Melissa came over this morning and asked if our kids wanted to help them make an igloo. Everyone helped, but Sarah definitely stuck with the task the longest. They were all thrilled with the final product. It's SO big, that all the neighborhood kids who helped can fit in it. Thanks Josh and Melissa for a lot of fun and great memories.

The beginning....


...still at it...

Sarah wants to sleep in it tonight. Anyone up for a 9 degree sleepover?????

White Christmas??

We woke up to snow on the ground this morning. The kids went outside and played for most of the morning making a snowman and fort. We LOVE the snow!!!! We just wonder if it will last until Christmas!?!?

Merry Christmas

Our Four Cute Kids wish you all a Merry Christmas!!!

Adventures near Ashton

Several weekends ago, we drove to Ashton for Nathan's Aunt Leona and Uncle Bruce's 50th Wedding Anniversary party! We had many adventures on our way to Ashton and while we were there.

On our way, we had a total blow out.

Our dad is AMAZING!!! He had it almost completely changed before AAA arrived!

This is what we did while we waited...throw rocks by the railroad tracks.

While we had our tire fixed we found a fun park in St. Anthony.





We were able to stay in a beautiful cabin in Island Park. We wish we could have spent many days exploring the area and relaxing in the cabin.


The cabin had Disney Channel!!!! What a treat for us!!!


I wish we would have taken pictures of the actual party. Nathan did the decorating and their cabin looked SO nice! We had such a wonderful weekend playing with all our cousins and hope we can do it again soon!!!

Ready for the Season

We went to R.C. Willey today to buy Sarah a mattress. We had no idea until we got there that they were having a Pre-Season BSU party. They had games for the kids to play (which they all won and got candy) and they got to have their picture taken in BSU style. We entered EVERY drawing possible to win tickets to a BSU game. I think they all look SO cute and ready to cheer on BSU!!!


Anyone else ready for Fall?

Oregon Fun

We went to Oregon and spent some time with Nonnie, Grandpa, Auntie Angie, Alexa and Sophie. We had SO much fun!!!!!

We went swimming.


We went to the High Desert Musuem.

We went to several baseball games. Everyone LOVED them!!!


We went to Lava Lands and drove to the top of Lava Butte.

We went on top of Pilot Butte.

We went to LOTS of different parks. They worked hard on their "fort"!




But, the highlight of the trip for me was a day trip to the beach. It felt so good to get our toes in the sand!!!







This picture was taken right before he fell in the waves.

And this was after he fell in the waves.

Can you tell it was COLD?!!

On our way home from the beach we got to stop and visit with Great-Grandma Eileen. We were SO happy to see her!!!

Thank you Nonnie and Grandpa for a wonderful time and all your generosity!!!

Swim Lessons and Super Hero

We love swim lessons with Cathy Taylor!!! She is such a great teacher and we love taking lessons with other fun people!!! The kids did great and had a SUPER time!!!






Benj loves being a Super Hero! This day he was part Power Ranger, Batman and....well, I guess Goggle Guy!!

Wheels

At the library in Eagle, a few Saturday's ago they had all sorts of things with wheels. We had a really fun time doing all sorts of fun activities and learning new things. The kids all got new books from the library, lots of chocolate milk, snacks, and tons of stickers and stuff!

Benj loved this scooper. He could have "drove" all day!


Benj loves to "drive"!!


The older kids loved talking to McGruff. Benj was completely scared of him.


The kids made milk carton cars and raced them.


We learned what it would be like to take a ride in an ambulance.
