Little Buddies

It has been really fun to have Dan and Stephanie in town the kids have been able to play together a few times.  This was one of those times.  These two little guys had so much fun with their swards chasing around bell and attacking her.  I had to save her a few times but it was cute. 

Not only did they pull out the swards they needed something to ride.  They really had so much fun playing together and mommy, because of that. got TONS done!!!!

Family Home Evening

Sometimes FHE it quite the adventure and well is not the perfect example of FHE....especially at our house.  But this night was one of my favorites!!!  Skyler gave the lesson on ammon and being a missionary and it was so good.  Then we played a little Foosball and made taffy!!  It was a really fun and effective night.  Skyler really liked the cornstarch.

Super Busy But Fun day!!!

Saturday's are always a pretty busy day but it was especially busy this last weekend.  We decided to move around a few things in the house.  One of which was the piano.  With the help with our awesome missionaries we moved the piano downstairs the elliptical upstairs and the love sac upstairs too.  The missionaries loved it because they both play the piano and we love it because we have our good...ol...love sac upstairs along with the elliptical upstairs so I can get with exercising again.  We also hurried and cleaned the yard of all dog waist because well it was starting to snow!!!!

This was the first really good snow that we have gotten in price.  My kids were so excited and they kept saying "Keep snowing, Keep snowing" because daddy said that if it kept snowing he would take them out sledding.  Needless to say despite the fact that daddy is really starting into his busy season we went out sledding.  The kiddos loved, loved, loved it.  The kids were so good before too and finished their chores so they could go out sledding and mommy was so happy because we caught back up our house!!!

No I am not pulling them they are being pulled behind a 4 wheeler.

Risa really got good at stearing her sled and was really proud that she could go down really good on her own.

We went sledding for about 2 hours and it was so much fun.  Mommy did not get so adventurous but it was so super fun to watch them play on the same mountain that I use to go sledding on all the time.  It is a hill that is behind my parents house.  Floods of memories came!!!

Risa looked so cute her hair was frozen by the time we were done.  She reminded me of a little snowboarder!!!

You cant have snow without a little snowball action.

We were all pretty frozen and it was super yummy to have a little bit of hot chocolate and muffins at grandmas

After all of that moving things, cleaning the house, sledding..the kiddos were able to convince their daddy to help them build a snowman.

Seth asked them how they should do the snowman and Skyler said that he wanted to make it a "Missionary Snowman".  So we made a missionary snowman.  What is funny even after all of that I took the kiddos inside and got them clean and ready for bed as Seth was still outside scrapping walks and then he went to the church to take care of a few things for Sunday.  Lets just say we have an awesome husband and daddy at our house.  It was one of the best family fun/work days!!!

Branch Taco Night Minute to Win It!!

We really love the Taco Nights that we have every month.  We have one activity every month and this month the RS were in charge of the night....I was in charge of the activities and Seth gave me the idea to do minute to win it games.  So we got all of fun games together and Seth was the MC.  It was such a fun night. These are some photos from the activity.

This one was my favorite they were so super cute dancing.

The missionary on the right is one of the missionaries that is living in our house.  We have some really great missionaries right now!!

This was the Oreo one.  Marisa tried so hard and she was so close many times.  You have to put an Oreo on your forehead and you have to get it to your mouth without touching it with our hands and using the muscles in your face.  It is pretty fun.  If you want a unique way to eat oreos you should give it a try.

These are some of the amazing ladies in the branch....oh how I love these ladies!!
