Snow!!

Last night we got dumped on, so Jamie and the kids went outside and played for about an hour in the snow while mom stayed in baking cookies! :) It was Heavenly!!

Super Kid of the Week!

Two weeks ago Emma was chosen as her Kindergarten class' Super Kid of the Week! This is basically a week of Emma being the paper "hander-outer", the line leader, and other fun things that kindergartners love! During the week each member of her class draws a picture of Emma and the teacher puts it together for a little keepsake book for her to keep! Then on Friday the Super Kid brings a poster to class to show the other kids more things about Emma! She had a blast feeling a little extra special for a week!

Free Zoo Day!

I didn't realize it until the day before their last one, but Utah's Hogle Zoo has a free zoo day once a month in the winter. When I found out I had to take the kids! I also invited my sister-in-law, Kim, and her two kids, Austin and Maddy, to come along! It was sunny outside but only about 40 degrees, so we bundled up the kids (and ourselves) and went to see some animals! We all had so much fun!! Zachary loved the bats, Emma's favorite was the leopard, and Joshie loved the monkeys! When we came to the big cats (Tigers, Leopards, etc.) Zach hid behind me and didn't want to look at them...it was kinda funny! We would have had an incident free day, but Emma got a little excited to see the next exhibit and lost her footing...she got a scraped knee and a bruised ego, but other than that she was ok. We are going to have to remember these fun free days for next year!!

Slacker!!!!

Ok...I just want to officially tell everyone how much of a slacker I am! Although...if you've noticed the lack of posts to the blog, I'm sure you've already figured that out! I would like to apologize to everyone who reads them...including our family who uses it as a way to find out how we're doing and how the kids are growing! We took a trip to the zoo yesterday with my sister-in-law and her kids so I will be posting about that very soon! I PROMISE!!!!
