Temple Square

A couple of weeks before Christmas we were able

to go to Temple Square with our good friends Thomas

and Michelle. This is the second year we have gone down to

see the lights and it is a tradiont that the kids love. It was a

little cold but worth it.

Future Olympian?

Abby has been taking a gymnastics class for a couple

of months now. She loves it. It is so fun to see

her coordination get better. She has about 8 other girls in

her class and they are all aged 4-6. Some days I

feel sorry for her coach!!! It is quite fun to watch her.

Emma is even trying her had and gymnastics.

Snow Bunnies

On Saturday we had the first real snow of the winter

and the girls were so excited that they had to go

right out and play. It was a freezing day, and the

wind was blowing, but that didn't stop them.

How cute!!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was so fun this year. It was filled with family, fun, food, games, fire, guns, food, and more fun. Some of my family made the drive to Malad this year and we had a great time. The cousins thought that life in the country was great. We went exploring, on motorcycle rides, shot guns, built a "small" fire with all of our weeds, played games and most of all we ate! This could be that start of a new tradition.

My Big Girl

Wow how the time flies. I can not believe that my little girl has turned 5! She was so happy to have her birthday finally get here. She has a Princess Tea Party with a few of her friends from school. When she woke up the morning of her birthday she came right to me and said "Mommy I'm 5 now do I get to go to Kindergarten today?" The disappointment of not getting to go to school that day was quickly replaced by the excitement of the party. She is such a blessing in my life. I am so grateful that she is my "snuggle bug".

Family Fun

We were finally able to make a quick trip to Boise to see family. And boy did we have a lot of fun in just a couple of days!!! The kids always love to go to Boise and just play and get wild with the cousins and grandparents. It is hard to be so far away. But it does make those trips home so much fun. Emma is still talking about Lizzy and Papa!! Abby wants to know when we can go back.
