Let it snow!

It started snowing in our "neck of the woods" this morning. Only have a couple of inces or so, but I hope it keeps on coming! Have been itching to get out on those sleds again.
Let it snow, let it snow!!!

Choppin down our tree.

We had a fun time picking out our Christmas tree yesterday - was especially nice this year since it was a balmy 55 degrees up in Sinks Canyon! Nice and toasty compared to previous teeth chattering, bone chilling, "when the heck is Jason gonna pick out a damn tree" years. Didn't even get a chance to drink our hot chocolate since we were out of there within an hour. Trimmed a bit off the bottom once we got home (very Grizwold-ish of us) but it turned out. The kids LOVED decorating the tree too.... who knows, we might still add a string of popcorn or a few more art projects before the New Year. ;O)

Gingerbread Houses!

Jodi invited us to come make Gingerbread houses on Friday night, so Kaycee and I made it over (Jackson was EXHAUSTED from Turkey Day... so he and Jason napped and watched Gladiator on T.V.). We had so much fun eating Jodi's yummie turkey soup and a bunch of candy. Kaycee's house turned out GREAT - she ate most of it on the way home yesterday though - so it might need some renovations this week.. ha! THANKS JODE!!!!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving ROCKED this year! We cruised over to Evanston and had dinner at John and Shaunel's house - her parents and big sis Stephanie came along with Jason's parents, my parents and my little Sis Heidi. Shaunel decorated her house so cute and all the food was DEEEEELICIOUS! I think both Jason and I have gained 10 lbs just from this weekend!!

Here's Jackson singing "The Turkey Song" originally sung by my nephew Colby when he was about the same age. Might need to pause my Playlist music to hear him... and in case you can't understand him it goes:

Mr. Turkey, Mr. Turkey, you are growing nice and fat.
People eat you for Thanksgiving, now what do you think of that.

Happy Turkey Day!!

GO UTES!!

We made it down to SLC for the Utah game this weekend - was well worth it!! The kids had a great time going to Madagascar 2 with Granny and Grandpa (Jackson sat through the entire movie - I was AMAZED) so Jas and I could actually watch the game. Was a GREAT game too!! Not sure which part I liked best though... the game or getting to eat at Greek Souvlaki beforehand..... Mmmmmm... I miss the good food from SLC. I know which part Jason liked best though. Go UTES!!

Sheeps Bridge

Jan, Susan and I were able to get in one more good trail run a couple of weekends ago... we ran to Sheep's Bridge. Haven't been there before, so had to take a few pic's. Was really fun - twelve miles never felt so short... but then again, I don't think we stopped chatting the entire time. Thanks girls!!

Kaycee helped make dinner the other day... here's her version of a pepperoni pizza. Was yummie too!

Jackson, Shayla and Yogi were inspecting a little wasp's nest on the ground when we went for a hike with Jan last week. Took this picture right before Jackson started playing with a half-dead wasp that eventually stung him on his thumb. Poor kid. Found out he isn't allergic to wasps though. Live and learn.

Happy Halloween!

We had a GREAT Halloween!! Since we didn't have school on Halloween this year, the kids had a blast playing at the Children's Museum and trick-or-treating on Main Street, the Ranch and in our neighborhood. I am pretty sure we have enough candy...... Kaycee's favorite part was trick-or-treating in the dark (on our street) and Jackson's favorite part (besides double-fisting the suckers) was eating some "brains" at the Children's Museum. Mmmmmm. Can't wait until next year!
