A lot of stuff we've been up too!

Emma and Noah just got their school pictures. I think it is so fun to go back and see how much they have grown in the past year!Noah looked like a baby! Here are his pictures K-2nd grade.

The fire department came to our apartments and did a fire safety thing. The kids had fun.

Here is Noah going out the window!

Here is Emma in her flip flops, not the best shoe to have on when climbing out the window!

Here is Matt trying to get out but he was so affraid the kids had to help him :o)

The kitchen filling up with smoke. The little kids were a bit unsure of what we were doing.

Poor Noah, he had to have four teeth pulled because he has no room in his mouth for his grown up teeth. He did really well at the dentist. They love him and talk about him every time we go!

Here is Noah's Family Home Evening craft.

This summer in Washington Mom Walker took me out and showed me how to make earrings. It was so much fun. Since I am in the young womens program at church and young women in excellence is coming up I thought that my project could be jewelry making. I have been twisting and beading like crazy. I have more earrings and necklaces and bracelets than I know what to do with. I love it so much, and I am so happy to have something fun to do. So thanks Mom for starting me on something so fun! Here are a few things I've made.

Our first snow of the season. Here is Noah in mid-air!

Owen wanted to pick up the snow but it was so cold. He wouldn't put on gloves.

Noah did this on his own. We were inside eating breakfast and he was so excited to go and play so we let him. 10 minutes later he came in for a carrot. He is so grown up. This might be the best snowman ever!

The day before the snow came the kids and I made cinnamon rolls. We were hoping to wake up to snow and eat them with hot chocolate for breakfast. It worked out well and the kids had fun helping.

Here is Owen cleaning up. And yes he is in his underwear (we are working on the potty thing)

The kids putting on the brown sugar.

Even the dog got messy! It was a good day.

Matt got me some flowers after a long and hard week (ya I am so lucky) When the girls saw them they said "Dad got us flowers" They got to pick their favorit one and have it in their room



And there is nothing sweeter than a sleeping two year old to end it all :o)
