Boise and Barfing:o)

Well sorry there are no pictures, they will come soon. We went to Boise this weekend and had so much fun. We did some shopping ( at toys R us, rei and sierra trading post) We looked at some houses that maybe in a year we can buy, and spent some time with Matt's extended family. It was awesome and his family was great. It made us want to move out their so that we could play games and hang out all the time. We got back Monday and that night Owen started to throw up. Then Emma woke up at 4 and started. Shortly after that I started. Poor little Owen got sick about 30 times and still isn't walking around yet. Emma and I are doing better, and I am so grateful that we got sick when we got home and that we were able to have such a fun weekend. So pictures will be coming as soon as I can find the camera:o)

Christmas break

Here are the kids making cookies for Santa.

Here are the kids acting out the nativity. They did a great job, and it was so cute.

Here are the kids making gingerbread houses.

Christmas was so much fun. The kids had so much fun opening presents. They are all getting older so it was fun to just sit back and enjoy watching them, and not running around from kid to kid helping them open presents.

All month long if you asked Owen what Santa was going to bring him he would say a dinosaur. It's a good thing Santa came through, and Owen was so excited to open his present and see that his letter to Santawas answered!

Here are the girls trying to pick what present to open.

Isn't this awesome. What's even more awesome is that Matt and I finally went to Pomerell and snowboarded yesterday. It was so much fun. It also made me realize that pebble creek is really steep. It was so much fun hanging around with Matt and just having fun. We are also very thankful that my mom is willing to watch our kids so we can go snowboarding every week:o)

Here is my super hot husband hitting a jump. It was an amazing day! I have to taking back all my making fun of Nate and Kip for sleeping in a snow cave so they could ski everyday, that would be awesome! (We will however continue to make fun of the candle)

Lots of fun stuff

We just got so much snow!!! It's still snowing right now. Matt helped people dig out of our parking lot this morning before heading off to work. It was a bunch of fun. Even the garbage truck got stuck. Matt and I woke up every hour last night to see if it was still snowing in hopes that pebble creek would open! It did and they open tomorrow. We were going to go snowboarding but he has to work so we will have to go after Christmas, but we can't wait. Well on to the pics. Here is my man building a snow cave for the kids. Matt and I played outside long after the kids got cold and went inside!

Here is Emma and Libbie inside the cave. They think it is awesome! Matt thinks it would be awesome if he and I slept in it tonight. I'll let you know if that happens:o)

Here is the boys packing all the snow.

We have some rad snow drifts around. This is a small one, but the kids had fun in it.

Warming up after the snow.

Owen has been sick and didn't last too long outside, but he loved coming in and having hot chocolate.The kids wanted to skip their date nights this week and have a family date night/ Christmas party. We had so much fun. We made stocking and painted Christmas decorations. Then we ate snacks and watched a movie. It was a blast. Here are the kids with their stockings.

Here is Libbie after painting. She wants to keep them forever!

Owen had more fun than I thought that he would. He is growing up so fast.

Emma is a bit of an artist. She really gets into her crafts. I think that it runs on both sides of the family.

Here is Noah painting. He did such a good job.

Here is Libbie hard at work.

Owen making Santa look good.

Emma and Noah made these candy canes for everyone in their class. In the end we made over 50 of these. Matt was home when we did it and that was a big help. Libbie made some too and we took her around to her friends and she handed them out.

Here are the kids with all their hard work. Matt made these holders for us so that we could get all those candy canes to school=)

Here is Emma at her Christmas party telling the class about the treats that she made.


Here is Noah handing out his treats. They were a big hit with both of their classes.
Here is Emma singing in her Christmas program.

Here is Noah in his Program. It was so cute:o)

Here is Libbie with a basket of gifts for our friends. It was about 4 with the wind chill outside when we went out, but the kids had fun and worked hard handing them out.

So we have had a bunch of fun in the last little while. We are looking forward to Christmas and wish you all the best in the new year!

Fun at the Walker's

I have always wanted to twist balloons. So a while back my mom and dad got me a how to twist balloons book. We have had fun making dogs and dragon flies, flowers and air planes, but the kids favorite is swords!

No children were harmed in the making of this film!

Noah's Baptism

Noah's baptism was this last Saturday. It is hard to believe that he is 8 and getting so old. It was an amazing experience and we are so proud of his choice to be baptized! It was so much fun to see family and friends, overall it was a great weekend:o)Noah got this picture from his best friend Isaac of Jesus and John the Baptist. He loves it. Here is the family.A crazy family picture.

Matt and I gave Noah grown up scriptures, then last night when we were reading scriptures Owen said "You go in the water, you get a book" it was cute:o)

Some other things we've been doing.... Emma proud of her snow ball.Here is Nicholas helping (or not helping) Grandma Walker build a snowman.The kids on Family home evening making a craft for the tree.There was glitter all over the house but it was fun.Here is Owen just being cute.
