First Snow Day

Oh, the joys of the first snow fall!  You gotta love spending 15 minutes to get all the kids in their snow gear only to stay out in the snow for 5 minutes!  But at least they have fun and my kids all love to eat snow!

October fun

Since I am way far behind on my blogging (what's new?)  I will just do a few highlights from the past 2 months.

Haunted Maze.  Turned out to be a bit too scary for our little Amanda.  The boys had a good time though.

Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point.  One of our favorite Halloween traditions.  We went with Grammy and cousins, Hailee and Skyler.

Alpine Slide.  This was one of my most favorite activities we have done.  I thought the kids would maybe be a bit too young for this, but they LOVED it!! (Even Amanda!)  We raced each other down the hill and the kids actually dared to go as fast as I dared to go!  We are definitely going to do this again, but not in October next year.  It was freezing!  We will go in the summer and maybe do some of the other fun rides they have up there too!  We got to see lots of fun wildlife that day.  We saw 5 deer, a mink with a mouse in its mouth, and even a moose!  It was great!!!

Our future slugger

We had no idea that Josh knew how to play baseball, but one day he brought a ball and a bat over to Daddy and just started "playing ball".  It was so cute!!

My pet sin

I absolutely ADORE Sunday brunch.  It is by far my most favorite way to break the sabbath.  I love Little America's huge Sunday brunch, but my most favorite brunch is at Tuscany.  It is not nearly as grand as Little America, but it is heavenly!  They stopped doing it there for a long time, but it is now back!  YAY!!  We had to go there while my mom's cousin, Debbie, was in town to help my mom get moved and settled into her new house.  It was fabulous, as always!  Plus it was so much fun to have Debbie there to enjoy it with us!  She is so great.  She was such a help to my mom during the move.  We are forever grateful to have her as part of our family!!

cute kids

I love when my kids are completely getting along and are playing together really well.  These moments don't happen nearly often enough and they don't last as long as I would like, so I do my best to capture these precious moments and I try to look at the pictures of them smiling together so that I can make it through the times when they are fighting and screaming at each other.  Look how sweet!!!!

Fire Station Field Trip

This was seriously a very long time ago, but I haven't even put pictures on my computer from my camera in over a month.  So I am just going through everything and trying to highlight all the stuff that has been happening in the past month and a half.  I thought this was a cute picture of Alex on the fire truck.  He had such a fun time on this field trip.  He still talks about it a lot.  

Boyz II Men

That's right, BABY!!  Back stage passes to Boyz II Men!!
