It's Here!!!

Well it's official! 6 days earlier than last year. We had our first snow! Monday morning we woke up to falling snow (pictures). It was gone by mid-day though. Didn't even have time to go play in it. But yesterday morning we woke up to a lot more - well only like an inch or two (should have taken picts). It snowed on and off throughout the day but most melted off since it warmed up to 37 degrees. Today we still had some on the ground and our high is supposed to only be 34, so it might stick around until tomorrow. Silas thinks it's supposed to be Christmas and just wants to go outside and play in it. Brooke would just look out the window and start laughing "snow". It was pretty funny. When outside- she just wants to touch it and eat it. Well just wanted to share our weather with all of you. It was just a glimpse of our winter ahead! I just don't know if I am as excited about it as the kiddos.

Mud Boggin'

These pictures are from about a week ago. We had so much rain and some other issues that I don't want to explain again- that we got a huge muddy mess in one corner of our driveway. Well, one persons pain is a 4 year olds pleasure! Silas and his Uncle Matthew had so much fun Mud Boggin' it through our mud. You can imagine the mess on that little boy!

California and Arizona

Finally after a few weeks home I got these slide shows done. I really hope you all enjoy them. We started off our vacation at Disneyland and California Adventure. The kids had so much fun visiting where Buzz Lightyear and Winnie the Pooh live. We met up with some of my sisters,my neice Kylee and my nephew Jayce. It was great having them there. They were all very helpful with the kids! Silas had a blast! He got to see Buzz (his favorite) and many more characters. He loved pretty much all the rides. Even the ones that some would think were scary(like Tower of Terror). The only one he did not like was Space Mountain. It was the very first ride we went on, but I think it being in the dark was what he didn't like. Brookie wasn't too fond of any rides that went dark. But most of the ones she was able to go on she enjoyed. She couldn't wait to get up to Pooh, but once we were right by him she didn't want anything to do with him. I had a blast too. It was a lot less stressful than I was expecting it to be. My most stressful time was when we were eating. My kids just didn't behave as well as they usually do at meals. We got some fun souvenirs and lots of memories. We look forward to going again, but next time will be with Daddy!

One huge highlight at California Adventure was an awesome parade called Disney/Pixar's Play Parade. It had all the characters from the Pixar animated films- most of my kids favorites. The kids danced and had fun just seeing the characters. It was the coolest parade that I have ever been to

After four days at Disneyland and California Adventure my sister Cristi, her son Jayce, myself and my kids drove to San Diego and went to Sea World. The kids had tons of fun just seeing all the sea animals. Brooke fell asleep for the first Shamu show so we stuck around until the nighttime show. It was pretty cool! Silas' favorite was the penguins. Brooke still talks about the dolphins to this day. It was a long day but I am really glad that we took that extra day and went.

We spent the next day driving to Arizona. We got to Show Low(my hometown) around 8 at night. We spent the next week there just visiting family and friends. We hung out at my Mom's quite a bit. It was a good break from the go,go,go that we had the days before. My kids had a blast jumping on the tramp and swinging. They had fun playing with their cousins. I was excited to watch my nephew Justin play varsity football at my old high school. We also watched my nephew Josh play 8th grade football and my nephew Koy play a type of PeeWee football. We had way too much fun! Thanks to all who helped out, visited with us, and just hung out with us. Thanks Grandpa Ken for the costumes and prizes. We love and miss you! As always, it was hard to leave but we are hoping to visit this Christmastime. As you can imagine, my kids were wore out by the time we got home. It is nice to be home and get back into the groove of things.

Back on Track

We are finally back home from our trip to Cali and AZ! As soon as I get my house back in order I will post pictures.

Future Fisherman

Like Father, Like Son!!!

This was Silas' catch the other day. He went to the creek behind our house

and caught this 10 1/2 inch fishy. He was so proud of himself and has wanted to go back everyday since. Daddy has planned a fishing adventure for Sunday, Si is so pumped.

MEMORIES

Okay I'm gonna give this one a whirl!!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, if it is recent or years old, silly or serious--anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Take a stroll down memory lane.... Lets Hear Them!!
