FuN Times

Christmas is my favorite holiday and we had a great time.

This was one of the highlight's of Kason's morning. Santa gave him a little motorized 4 wheeler.

Another fun thing - Cars!

It has been a very snowy couple of weeks! We took advantage of the snow and went out and played one day. It was pretty cold! Kason liked the snow and playing in it. He was a bit hesitant of how cold it was at first, but he is getting more used to it. We are getting a little worried about the snow and roads on the way home again though!

We look a little weird

Isaac and Kason getting a turn. Kason actually liked it.

We are having fun and enjoying the relaxing time and being together. I am not ready for Isaac to start school up again! But, we get our ultrasound the day after we get home to finally see what we are having! We had to delay it until now since we have been gone.

Snow!

We are in Utah and Isaac is out of school! We had quite the time getting here with lots of snow. They closed a pass and we thought we were going to have to spend the night, but they opened it back up and we went through. They closed it back up a couple minutes after we went through because of so many accidents. We went about 20 mph through the whole pass. I think the saddest thing I saw was a truck flipped over and people handing little girls out of the truck window to get out. But, we made it just fine and we are happy to be here! We have had a fun and relaxing time. It has been snowing, snowing and snowing some more. I don't mind it at this time of year though, I love a white Christmas. Kason is loving the constant attention!

Playing with my cousins' kids. Kason loves to play with other kids, even if they are 3 times his age.

Today at playgroup we made a graham cracker house. Kason was more interested in eating the candy than putting it on the house, but we got a little bit on there! Here is the sequence of pictures I went through to get him to do a normal smile. It seems like it is either a cheese or a somber face for the camera lately. 1 1/2 more days and counting until Isaac is done with finals and we are heading to Utah!!

Things We Love

I am a little bit behind! But, right now alot of things are happening that we love so I need to catch up.

About a week ago I went to see the Twilight movie with a bunch of friends. And while it was not as good as the book, I still liked it and it was alot of fun to be able to go

Kason LOVES baths. I ask him if he wants to take a bath and he gets really excited and says, "bath, bath" and runs into the bathroom.

We loved Thanksgiving! This was the first time we did it on our own. We were sad to not be able to be with family, but it was great to do things on our own for the first time too. I had never stuffed and made my own turkey before, but everything turned out so good and alot better than I expected for my first time! The menu: turkey, stuffing, gravy, green been casserole, candied yams, mashed potatoes, and rolls, with pumpkin and sour cream apple pies later. We got together with a bunch of families for the pie. It was great to have Isaac home for a day. He was back to school the day after Thanksgiving and now I just keep telling myself, "2 more weeks, 2 more weeks". Here is our attempt at a family picture.

We also set up our Christmas decorations. I love Christmas!! I love the smells, the sounds, the lights, the feeling... Kason was very excited about the lights and the tree (even though it is a little one it's better than nothing). I am sooo excited for Christmas, because: 1. Isaac won't be in school, 2. We will be home and hopefully it will be snowing, and 3. Kason will get what's going on more this year.

This is a picture of Kason last year at Christmas. He was just barely starting to crawl. Wow.

This is him now! What a difference a year makes! He can say "Jesus" and for Santa he says "Ho, ho, ho". We love this time of year!
