Bigger and Better!

Can you believe it snowed again. This time Seth was able to be home with us to play in the fun. It actually snowed even more this time and was so fun see. The kids were in heaven. Luke became a snowman maker pro. His snowman was almost as tall as he was. Haylee on the other hand, well she makes special snowman I guess with the special snowflakes:) It was crazy that the kids would pick up snow and then the spot that they just got from would be covered again with new snow. Seth was the first on to go in because he was too cold(lame). The kids were the winners. They played outside until everything on them was soaking wet. We watched the new last night after the kids finally went to bed and the announced that the schools were closed because of the snow. Seriously that is so dumb. I bought $25.00 worth of chicken salad for Luke's class luncheon and now they don't have school. What am I going to do with all of this chicken salad. Anyways we loved having the snow and now I cant wait for it to leave. I am ready for spring and the eighty degree weather.

Snow in Vegas????

What a fun day. It has snowed here the whole day. I actually thought this morning I should keep the kids home so they could play in it but them I smartened up. I went to the gym after I dropped off the kids at school and even in the middle of the kickbox class I had to sneak out real fast to see if it was still snowing. It was!!! When I got home I took a nice warm bath and as soon as I got out I put on my pajamas, had some hot chocolate, and took a picture of myself out in the snow. Then I got a warm blanket and laid on the couch and listened to my IPOD. What a day huh. All of you moms out there with kids at home are jealous huh? I will admit though that when I was in the bath I did say a prayer that it would still be snowing when the kids got home so they could enjoy it. They got to build really tiny snowman that look like white cats but whatever right. They had so much fun and thought it was the best day ever. When they came in I even made them some hot chocolate:) This kind of weather really makes it feel like Christmas time. Hasn't happened very many times to us seeing that we have lived in a dessert for so long so we were excited!(maybe a little to excited).

New Mexico

It is official. We are moving to New Mexico. Seth has already given his two week notice and work and has accepted a job in New Mexico. I am really nervous this time to move and I think its because I know I am leaving such great friends. This is going to be such a great opportunity for us though and we have been so blessed with this new job opportunity. We went to the library on Saturday and the kids wanted to check out some books about New Mexico so we did. Haylee asked me if we were going to have to buy new clothes and dress like Indians. And Luke was really nervous that he would have to learn Spanish.(that wouldn't be a bad idea huh?) The kids are excited to go and meet new people and Haylee is so excited to see her friend again that used to live here in Vegas but moved to New Mexico a couple of years ago. It will be so nice to have some built in friends that we all really like so we cant wait. Wish us Luck!

Our Tree!

We had fun this year putting up out Christmas tree. This year we thought it would be fun to start a new tradition that everyone gets to pick out and buy a new ornament for the tree. The kids loved doing that and had a really hard time choosing. I got to pick two because I had a hard time too:) This year we also made our own ornaments out of cinnamon, applesauce, and glue. After they hardened up we used puff paint to decorate them and they turned out cute. We got a new star this year for the top of the tree and we think it looks good. We hope that everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Polar Express

This year we went to Williams, Arizona to do the Polar Express train ride. I was a little disappointed with it because I ended up not being able to sit with my family but the kids had a fun time. Luke and Seth sat way up in the front of the train together and Haylee got to sit with her friend Taylor Bean and then I got to sit with my friend Stacie and her husband. There were so many people that came from Tucson so it was so fun to see old friends. As far as the ride goes it was fun to see Santa Claus, drink hot chocolate, and go to the North Pole. It was so cold there I thought I was going to freeze to death. We had lots of fun and were glad to have the experience!

Mesa Fun!

Seth and I have noticed that we have made quite a few trips lately to Mesa. I have loved every one of them!!! This time we headed up on Saturday morning and stayed just til Monday morning so we could then head on up to Flagstaff to do the Polar Express. Erin of course has some fun things lined out for us to do and we all had so much fun. First activity was doing cute little Graham cracker houses with the kids. I think that most of the candy was eaten by the kids but they did such a great job and they turned out super cute. Sunday we of course had a yummy dinner at my moms house before we headed out to see the Temple lights. It is so pretty there as they always do such a great job at putting them up. The kids loved seeing the camels and Haylee still remembers going into the Temple when Seth and I got sealed to eachother and to our kids. I do hope she will always remember that. Before we left Monday we went out to one of my sisters friends farms to see the chicken, horses, rabbits, and lots of poop. My kids love that kinds of stuff but I of course started sneezing really fast and my eyes started to get itchy and my nose started to run. I am definitely not a farm girl:) Thanks Erin and Dallas for all the fun again. We will see ya soon!!!!
