THE FIGHT

We had a fight last night at our house.

It was between

Briggie
And the watter bottle

Guess who won!!!

(Hope he learned to stop throwing it into the air!!)

Spanish Singers

During the summer, after our suburban had been totaled but before we got the new rig, Travis needed to take our truck to Wyoming. Of course this is how I got around. He left me his work truck which is only a single cab truck. With four kids we didn't go very many places that week. I had to go to the church for a RS thing and my kids went with me. We were squished in the cab of the truck and the kids kept playing with the radio. It landed on a spanish station and the above videos are an example of what Brigham started doing out of no where. It was soo funny!! Now we always ask our kids to show us their spanish singer!!!

Snowmobiling

This weekend we went snowmobiling. This is something my children ALWAYS hear their dad doing but they never get to go. We were supposed to go with some friends to their cabin but they had to cancel at the last minute. Being that Travis spent the majority of Monday and Tuesday getting the snowmobiles ready we decided we had to go somewhere on Saturday with the kids. Our brother in law Corey's family has a cabin in Kamas so we talked to them and set a date. I found out Friday at 5:30pm that we were staying over night. Got to love my husbands plans!!! We had a blast!! Here are some photos for posterity!

The Dreadful Horse

Do you remember these fun bouncy horses from your childhood? I do but I don't remember them being so noisy!! This was Brigham's favorite thing to do!

On Saturday the kids played outside all morning long. About lunch time Brigham was exhausted but wouldn't go in until everyone else did so he just layed against the snow and rested!

I told him it was ok but to make sure it wasn't by any yellow snow!

This is Adela. On the sled. Going down a hill. Because she wanted to.

To appreciate this picture you have to know that the last time we took the kids to Uncle Cory's cabin Adela would just scream if you tried to take her on the sled. When I went out to check on the kids I about passed out to see her willingly on the sled!

Cas eating Snow!! Need I say more!

(Other than his numb got tongue!)

Tuhker being strong!

Dad's little protegee.

Always loves the same things as dad!!
You couldn't get him off!

Just a cutie!

Brigham just likes to lay in the snow!

The guys making breakfast.

One little secret about me. I hate to make breakfast. Good thing Travis doesn't mind. Poor Tom came up to really ride only to find out we were being lazy!! Hopefully he didn't mind too much!!

Ode to Teaching Relief Society

I loved teaching Relief Society. Not the first few times because it was scary but I really got to love it. I have this theory that if you give a treat people will like you. I got a lot of compliments on my lessons but hopefully it wasn't just because I gave handouts!! I taught for just over a year and I think there were two times I didn't give a handout. I remember the first time my husband gave me such a hard time about it all the way to church that I got up to give my lesson and just cried (I can be such a boob sometimes!!!) I thought twice before I did that again! Well my last lesson was the lesson of Joseph Smith's letter to Emma. I decided it would be fun to give everyone a card and encourage them to write letters to be saved for posterity. Well I went a little crazy and decided to MAKE 3 cards for everyone. I ended up making like 180 cards. It took all week. It was fun!





Cas was such a trooper and sat there for an hour and rounded about 240 corners for me!!

The Mess!! Its actually kind of clean here! Adela thinks that if I am cutting up paper so should she. It's even funner cleaning up her mess!
