Karter's First Snowman




We have waited and waited for the perfect day to build a snowman and today was the day! It was so warm outside and no wind at all, just how we like it. Karter has never built a snowman so we decided to have an adventure today. It's nothing much but to him it is pretty cool!! Have a happy NEW YEAR everyone!!!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!!








Well we had a yummy thanksgiving! It was really perfect, right down to the weather. I wanted to share our family tradition with everyone because it is the main reason I look forward to this day. After we all stuff our faces with delicous food, we all get in our vehicles and head to the mountains to cut down our christmas tree. It is so much fun! We all wander around the woods, even the kids, until we find that perfect tree, because a fake one just doesn't cut it in our house! We enjoy the smell of fresh pine trees! An artificial tree just isn't the same for me. Every year our tree is different, and it makes it so fun to see what we come up with, and yes we have had many charlie brown trees. As soon as we decorate it though, it is beautiful and unique in its own way!! We had a lot of fun finding our tree. Karter loved helping Zach cut it down and he picked out one for his bedroom too! He was pretty excited! I love getting together with my whole family and being outdoors. That is what we all love to do the most. It turned out to be a great day.

Just Breath It In!






We have definately took advantage of the nice couple of days we have been having, and spent some time at the green belt in St. Anthony. It was so nice to get some fresh air. Karter acted like he had never been on a walk before. He was running all over the place picking up every rock he could. His favorite was stepping on the grasshoppers. Grandma Sandy would be proud of him for that. (She was scared to death of them!) Kaidynce didn't fuss the whole time, which made it so enjoyable. She took in everything she could. I didn't realize how much I missed going for that walk. Mom and I used to do it all the time together. It was a day well used!! The next day I met up with Jennie and her two kids, Treygun, and Mckynlee, and we walked it again. It was a lot of fun! If you are ever bored and its beautiful outside, go for a walk on the greenbelt. It is well worth your time.
