Let it snow!

Before Ab even came in the room to see us this morning, she yelled from the kitched window. "It snowed! Dad there is enough snow for a snowman! And a snowball fight! come see, come see, come seeeeeee!!!" We ate and got ready for the day, found and sorted thru the winter gear box, (which after we tried on D's snowboots, i found him out the back door, thru the gate and walking to the street.... saying 'bbbrrrrrrr!' ya think?) and went to the youth ranch for some cheap snowboots for Ab. After winco and some lunch, we layered up and went into the winter wonderland....

"Look Mom! Im a snowplow!"

Then we went in for some hot chocolate'....We sorted toys yesterday, and Dax has been toteing these ponies around ever since. "Nneeeeiiiiggghhhhhh!"

Deck the Halls!

We set up the tree one day, and got the decorations out another. Everyday A was reminding us we needed "to get the Christmas decorations on the tree!" We all had a fun time listening to carols and drinking hot cocoa and trimming up the tree. I bought a new star for the top, since we've never had one :) And of course Mr. Peeps watched the whole thing ;)

D actually posed for this one.

As soon as the flashe went off he came around to my side to see the pic...

ornament in hand.

Then we hung up the stockings and D decided this is where this one would go...

Then he got ahold of the camera and took pics until the camera's memory card was full. He found a train ornament and took at least 20 pics of it. Crazy kid. Even a cool self portrait...

He's a bit train obsessed lately =)

So im looking at 'My Pictures' folder, and i have nothing for November. Balls. I know i took stuff on my phone, so i'll have to get it sent over. But like I said, it wasn't until last week that I felt like I had made it back. So I guess we'll skip November lol except A had a couple fun field trips. The first was to the firestation. Jb took them since i was working, and all he had to say was 'our kids were afraid of everything, and D covered his ears the whole time.' ha ha. The second was to Rafiki. A playplace in Boise. We got there at 10, ate from the cafe' at 12, and left at 2! It was a great time. An indoor play structure, a dress up area, reading couch, climbing wall, baby "nursery", play kitchen, air hockey, ping pong, and the place D stayed for the whole time was the train table. No joke, maybe 10 minutes here and there he'd wonder off, but then back to the trains. It was a good time

Happy Halloween ;)

So the Wednesday before Halloween week, I got a call from my boss's boss, Rick Williams, to go to Utah and help throw freight at the West Valley Store. It was a rush to get things done before i left and took me until last week to feel like i was back. Its been crazy at work, getting put on different shifts all week and the holiday jazz. So I felt like i could post some pics from halloween. I missed out while i was gone. I left on Sunday and that night was a party at mom's house. I was sitting in my hotel room, no roommate so feeling lonely, and i get these pics sent to me from Jb. I bawled. He got them ready by himself and took them to the party. I hadnt even seen them in their costumes yet!

I mean, how cute it that!!!! The Petersen head-tilt!

And then M sent me some pics ;)

Then there was the ward truck or treat and A's preschool halloween party. So I made it home in time for trick or treating ON Halloween. Which was great =) [Just remembered i need to post about our trip to the emergency room that happened before i went to utah...]
