Snow Days!!!

To say that we have had several snow days in the last few weeks would be the understatement of the year. Spokane has had , I believe, 59 inches of snow this month and there is more on the way. Dan has spent a good portion of his Christmas vacation shoveling snow. There is so much snow in our front yard we let the kids sled on the man made hills while Dan was shoveling our driveway...again. As you can see they had a blast. After they had played outside for awhile, we all came in and had some yummy hot chocolate-with marshmallow's of course:)

Thanksgiving At Steve and Candy's House

My Boys Reading

I thought these pictures were too precious!

Jude's First Cereal-6 months old

Jude had his first rice cereal a few days ago. He was really excited until he had his first bite. I'm pretty sure he was thinking "That is what I've been waiting for this whole time". As you can see from the pictures he wasn't that impressed.

That's My Girl!

The other day I was putting James' clothes away when Kayla walked in the room. She had a huge pile of clean clothes in her arms. After she had put them away, I noticed that she had something stuffed inside her shirt. I quickly grabbed my camera when I realized what she was doing. She then took the next few minutes to "unload" her shirt...she had stuffed all her socks, tights, and undergarments in her shirt so she wouldn't have to make another trip downstairs to get them. I thought you might enjoy these pictures, though it was definitely more funny in person:)

Hidden Acres

I've been tagged...

I believe I am supposed to post 7 random things about myself. So, here it goes.

I was born in Portland, Oregon.

I went to Hawaii on my honeymoon.

I had a pet snake that I caught...it was only a foot long.

I hiked down the Grand Canyon (30+ miles in 3 days).

I couldn't do Pilates if my life depended on it...ok, maybe my kids lives.

I love waterfalls.

I hate roller coasters.

Well, hopefully that wasn't too painful for you. I had a new slide show to post, but my computer froze and I didn't feel like making another one. I'll try to post some new pics soon.
