A Weekend Away

With no kids at home this weekend, we decided to head for the cabin in Lowman in hopes to relax and see the sun and blue sky. Well...we relaxed, saw a glimpse of the sun and saw a few patches of blue. It was a great weekend! We found snowshoes in the closet and decided to give them a try (1st time for both of us). What a blast! It was such a nice day...not too cold and a light dusting of snow coming down. Lavon had the camera and decided to take pictures of me everytime I hit the ground. I never got any of him tripping or sliding or looking silly. Maybe next time!

Fishing...

We took the kids to Wilson Ponds out in Nampa today for a fun-filled fishing adventure! Surprisingly each one caught a little fishy and were more than thrilled. It was a quick trip as the attention span for watching the line of a pole dangle in the water is short, not too exciting, fish weren't really biting, and it was a tad chilly. Nonetheless we all enjoyed ourselves and no one got hurt!

Christmas a day early!

This year we got to celebrate Christmas a day early! We were lucky enough to be able to have family over for dinner and had a wonderful day opening presents and just spending time with each other.

Sledding

With a great snow fall, we dug out the sleds and decided to pull the kids around the block. Mom sat in the back of the truck and took pictures. We had some great times and great laughs...only a few tears and wipeouts!

Looking at Lights

Last night we climbed into the car with our mugs of hot cocoa and candy canes in hopes to see some wonderful light displays...and of course for Josh to get some ideas for next year! We had a great time looking at lights, especially one amazing display in the north end. People actually get out of their cars and walk around the driveway of this house to look at everything (of course we joined the crowd and even took pictures!). Crazy! It was great to watch the kids get excited at the beauty of the lights and sing Christmas songs along the way. The poor kids tuckered out after about an hour of excitement! What fun we had!

It's Game Day!

We woke up this morning to some serious Boise State fans! Josh had colored his face (with markers!) and everyone else was wearing their game day gear! Guess they have learned well. We spent the morning decorating and taking pictures of each other. What a lovely Saturday morning! Hopefully our spirit will transfer itself to Reno and we will see another "W" becoming 11-0. GO BRONCOS!

Yes I am a slacker...

So I have been very bad lately about updating this blog but, really, nothing much has been going on worth reporting. We didn't have the kids for Halloween hence no pictures of that event to share. Emma did have a birthday! Big girl turned 8 years old! However, Nana took most of the pictures so I didn't have any to post. The most exciting thing we have done lately, which isn't really exciting, is Rake up Boise. We spent Saturday morning raking leaves and getting nice and muddy! Hopefully our lives will become a little more worth telling about!
