Emily's Country

Emily had to create a country for Social Studies and make a 3-D map.  Here is her creation.  She had a lot of fun with this.  She had a key that shows what everything means, but the only thing I can remember is the blue blob with the red tail is a whale :) 

Snow

We got quite a bit of snow.  The kids had a lot of fun playing in it.  They enjoyed throwing snowballs at the glass window, eating it, and building snowmen These are some of my favorite pictures of them playing in the snow.  

Friends

Our neighbors across the street are awesome.  They have a little boy that is JJ's age and a little girl that is a year younger than Asher.  Asher and Charlotte have a love/hate relationship.  One minute they will be hitting each other and then next they are hugging.  It is very cute to watch.  They are always trying to be close to the other person and they will have little conversations with each other that you can't understand.  Asher is always begging to go see "baby".  He will point across the street and say "baby" and then he throws a fit when I won't take him.  I loved these pictures showing the love/hate that went on one day when I was watching Charlotte and her brother.  

Halloween Candy

Maddie and JJ have had a lot of fun playing with their Halloween Candy.   They like to make fancy creations with them.  Here are a few of their creations:

I think they had more fun making the creations than eating their candy.

Boise Temple Open House

We went up to Boise over the weekend to work on some things on our house and to attend the Open House for the Boise Temple before they rededicated it.  We had a great time visiting with Grandpa, Ben and Sara, and the Dynes family.  We were even able to go to the open house with the Dynes and Grandpa.  Here are some pictures that we took while we were at the temple.
