Playing in the Snow

Sunday the snow was coming down hard. We got to play outside. This picture is great of Trinity and Tom (allan's dad). She was frozen or close to because she just kept eating the snow.
Got to love the snow. She even got into throwing snowballs.

Alex helping grandpa Tom with the snow blower. A little scary at first because it shoots snow.

Allan has to play with the new toy.

Trinity and Alex hiding from the snowblower. Trinity is still trying to get comfortable with the snow.

Love this picture of Alex
Trinity playing in the snow. Pocatello got dump on probably close to 7 inches of snow that day. Good thing we were able to stay an extra day. We had a great time.

Thanksgiving in Pocatello

We went to Allan's Dad's house for Thanksgiving this year. It was a great time. I was nervous about the roads but no big deal. We left Wednesday and saw lot of accidents but we made it safely. Then instead of coming home on Sunday when it was snowing we waited until Monday. It all worked out. Alex checking out the ads over breakfast. Notice he had to have his light on.

Trinity was fun to dress up as a reindeer. They were dog clothes.

Trinity's favorite was the toy playpin. She was in and out, in and out. Babies had to be with her. It was funny.>

Then we got to see Santa Claus arrive by airplane. I don't know what happened to the photos. Alex loved it even with the cold. I thought it was pretty cool. Only Allan was the one to say the helicopter was cheesy but how many people know that was only a training helicopter.


Then we made gingerbread houses with cousin. Emma's kids came and helped. There was a boy house on the left and a girl house of the right. THey turned out great. Allan had to have the airplane in the picture.

Then we went to the light parade. Cold, cold, Cold. It was great. ALex learned if you say Merry Christmas they gave you candy.

New Sidewalks

Yeah! After working all summer we got sidewalks. Thankfully we had some awesome help and got it all done. Here is everyone edging. Allan, Jerry in the far back, Cecil, and Charlie.

Even after smashing fingers in door Alex still loved having the cement truck at our house. Now he needs a cement truck.

Making it smooth

Making it look good

Three days after we poured it snowed. Trinity is helping clear the side walk. She doesn't like wearing snow hats.



After working so hard clearing off the sidewalks.

Pumpkin Carving

Grandma Sue grew huge pumpkins and brought them to our house. Close to Halloween we carved them. Linzie gave the best knifes to carve with. Even Trinity could do it. Alex making sure we are all do a good job.
Alex didn't like pulling out the insides. He drew his own face and Allan is good enough that he carved exactly what he drew.

Trinity getting in on the action.

Alex's pumpkin. Oh wait Jack-o-lantern. He always reminds me it is not a pumpkin because it has a face.

Mine is the boring one that is tradition, Alex's in the middle, and Allan's on the right side. THey turned out cute. We didn't do Trinity one but next year.

Dress-up month

After looking at all these pictures I didn't realize how many times we actually did dress up and how many costumes we have but we had fun. THis is after trick or treating.
Our little Frankienstein. Alex wanted nothing to do with black hair. Trinity didn't mind it. By the end of the night I was covered.

Optimus Prime. Oh how he loves this costume. But he is not real.

The only time she wanted to dress as a princess

Pumpkin or jack-o-lantern according to Alex that I found in the basement as I was organizing.

Who knows what Alex is but dressing up is fun.

Bad ninja coming to get you with a binkie in her mouth. I think Allan and I had a little too much fun dressing Trinity up. Alex wouldn't let us get away with it so we had to dress Trinity up lots.

September

Preschool has started. It is a lot of fun and I look forward to it. It is a lot different that school. Not really a set thing to teach but all kinds of things to get accomplished before they are ready for Kindergarten. Alex loves it. He has friends at his house. Trinity misses out on nap time but likes school other than that.

We are going to have another baby Feb. 24th. We aren't finding out what it is. Okay if you know me I am going to have to know but I will try my hardest. It is kinda like I know where the Christmas presents are and not snooping. I don't know if I can handle it. This upsets Laura greatly because how is she going to make the blanket. That is all for September. Allan was busy with fires. Crazy fire season being this late. Burning will probably be around the corner.

Pictures

Here are some pictures of the fair. Trinity is a pretty good looking cowgirl. (Sorry it is sideways)
Donovan in the dirt after riding the sheep. Yep I missed it. Next time I am just going to have to go down there. It happens all too fast. He had fun and Alex can't stop talking about when he is four that he is going to ride a sheep.

Hanging out. It was a cold summer so we had to snuggle sometimes.
A week before fair it rained and rained. Donovan comes running inside to tell me they found a snake. Nope not going outside. It was big and they thought it was a pretty cool fine. Not me! Go away snake.

Big Waterfall

Of course I am still putting up MT pictures. I am slow. But I like the pictures. I think you will have to look at facebook for the rest because who knows when I will get the rest of MT on my blog. I might just have to move on. There is other things happening. We went to see the big waterfall.


Had to climb and sit on rocks.

Climb the stair to the swinging bridge. With little kids it is not fun to scary. Especially with Trinity wanting to leap out of your arms.

Alex too tired to walk. None the less I put him down and he gets hurt.
Which turned out to be my fault of course. Cut on the finger. Showing grandma Sue. He is tiredBig brother is there to make it all better.> How long does this brotherly love last. Soon it will be punches to the gut and wrestling matches. I can't wait.
