Winter Wonder Land!

To all of you that live in areas that receive frequent snow, this will seem a little boring.  For the rest of you, can you believe it!  We never get more than a dusting of snow that MAY stay for 24 hours.  This was what our home looked like the week of Christmas this year!   Feet of snow.  The wind had blown and there were big drifts in our driveway that took forever to shovel.  We're just lucky Curtice bought a shovel this year!  As you can see, FeFe is not quite into the snow.  She touched it and cried, then spend the next ten minutes standing in the garage, looking out saying "cold" over and over again!  Crazy lady!
NayNay could not get enough of it.  I think on this day he spent about 3 hours outside and didn't want to come in even when it got dark!  He used his rake and shovel and dug and dug.  He has a big school bus that he spent a good amount of time burying!  He then went exploring and got stuck more than one time when the snow was deeper than his step!  And he did this all in his green rain boots!  What a trooper!  
I on the other hand I did not do so well.  As long as I was shoveling the back breaking (literally) snow drifts, I was nice and toasty.  The second I stopped, too cold, a little too cold!  I spent about an hour out shoveling, then NayNay spent an hour with the neighbors followed by about another hour with Curtice as he finished the shoveling I couldn't!
And thank you to Aunt Courtney for the awesome knit green hat (NayNay LOVES green).  He wore it the entire time!

Flashback: Halloween 2008

Halloween this year was lots of fun! We had NayNay's Mickey Mouse costume from the prior year and borrowed FeFe's Minnie Mouse costume from a friend! They looked great and LOVED getting dressed up together! Even now FeFe asks were Mickey Mouse is (meaning NayNay in costume).

When we cut our pumpkin for Halloween NayNay loved cutting the face but wanted nothing to do with getting the ick out of the inside. Mom and dad didn't want to either so FeFe volunteered and loved every minute of it!
Our ward Halloween party came first and FeFe and NayNay couldn't contain themselves. They just couldn't believe that candy was free!! Look at FeFe's red shoes!! They're tennies!!
With noses....
Without! Thank you Aunt Pickle for all your help!!

Yeah, I miss Phoenix!

Heeeeeere's Mikey!


He's here!  After 9 months baby Mikey is finally here!  He is adorable and so good natured.  We showed up and hung out for over an hour and Mikey just sat so snug in my arms!  So cute!  And great facial muscle control.  You should have seen some of the faces he was making!  Crazy!  Pickle looks wonderful (all a glow and the sleep deprivation hasn't hit her yet) and Evan was all smiles!  Good for them considering they were asked to stay in the janitors closet.

Life is so hard when your NayNay

NayNay is so sad because there is no room for him in the wagon.  His sister and cousin filled it up.  Maybe next time bug!  

It has begun!

Hey everyone!  It has begun.  I don't know how often I'll be updating due to the energy these two have but I will try to update at least monthly!  I'll probably start with a few flashback posts to brag a little!!
