An Almost Perfect Morning!

Last night I had my family over for dinner Auntie, Grandma, My Brother and his Girlfriend and me and the kids! It was a blast to see them and just to eat dinner together! As everyone went home it started to snow!!! I LOVE the snow! It is so beautiful! I love listening to it fall and breathing in the fresh crisp air and I love the smell! YES snow has a smell. After putting the kids to bed I enjoyed shoveling the driveway and side walk reminiscing about my childhood! We shoveled a lot when I was younger. It seems like it doesn't snow as much anymore. Anyway, I made a perfect boundary to our yard! You know when you push the shovel up against the snow bank and it makes a rounded edge! I used to do it all the time when younger, now with kids, I don't usually have that much time when shoveling. Needless to say I had a BLAST! I even made a snowman! (not the one in the picture!) He is in there though.  We used his body parts to start new ones for this one!


This morning I really wanted to play in the snow, so I called my sister-in-law to see if the they wanted to play
as well. I was in luck they were headed out to build a snowman. Perfect! Amanda, Logan and Scott came over to our house and we built one together. The snow was a little dryer than it had been the night before, but it worked out perfectly. Scott built a fort!!! Now we just need to have a snowball fight! Anyway.... Here are some pictures of our ALMOST PERFECT morning! It would have been a PERFECT MORNING if Danny could have been there. Some day he will have a job with normal hours! But hey we are grateful for a good job, with a GREAT boss!!! :)


Tomorrow Brick turns ONE!!! I can't believe it! He was just born, my baby is all grown up! He is walking and trying to talk. It's cute how he walks around babbling things! ADORABLE! His forehead is always covered in bruises! Poor guy. He always seems to fall into a corner of some sort. He is going to have all sorts of scars on his head! We celebrated the other day with my Mom and Briant at Brick Oven! He LOVED his Pasta!

After dinner we went to Danny's basketball game! He didn't win, but we still had fun cheering. Then we had Cake! Brick was asleep so we sang to him and Taelin blew out the candle. As we finished, he woke up so we did a re-do. He was up for a little while and opened his present from G & G Buckwalter. He LOVES it! It is a singing tool bench. You get to hit different buttons with hammer and lights go off etc... Taelin loves it too!

Anyway... We love our children soo much and are grateful for these opportunities to make memories with them! I hope that all is well with you and I will try to keep you updated on our lives!
