Gingerbread Houses

Tyler was totally in charge of the decoration for our gingerbread house. We went to our ward Christmas party this year - and this is what we did. I put the frosting where he told me and he added all the candy.
Dad helped him decorate the yard. You can't have a house covered in snow and not have any on the ground (or so I was told)


This was his result. YUM!!!

Snow Day

Yes!! It actually snowed in St. George! It doesn't take much for washington county to give you the day off. We got about 4" of snow that stuck to the ground after 3 days of snow.
Of course the boys had to build a snowman. They stayed out in the snow all day yesterday. The whole neighborhood is filled with snowmen.


By the time they were done they had a whole family of snow people but I only took a picture of this one. They made sure he was ready for anything...

Did you notice his hat? Does he remind you of anyone you know?



Thanksgiving

Can you imagine cooking Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings in this tiny kitchen? Well I managed by doing alot of the cooking before we ever left home.

I took a bigger table so I could load it down with all the food. Dinner was great!! And I cooked enough for them to eat leftovers for the rest of the trip.

Can you imagine cooking Thanksgiving dinner in this little kitchen? Well I did. It wasn't too bad because I did most of the cooking before hand at home (where I have double ovens) It was a fun weekend.


They got fed all the trimmings! I coooked enough foor to eat left overs the rest of the trip. I just had to bring a bigger table to make everything fit.

Halloween At Our House

Tyler carved his pumpkin and made a mess everywhere!!

But he liked the result and only went through 3 candles before halloween.

Tyler dressed up as a pirate, but his favorite trick-or-treating partner of the night was Emalee dressed as Tinkerbell. She kept wanting to go to ONE more house. Her bucket wasn't full yet. The night was fun all the way around for us. Tyler went trick-or-treating with a group of friends when we got back home so we got to relax and hand out candy. (no 10 mile hike)

We went out to take family pictures while everyone was here for the weekend. It was a challenge but we did get everyone in the picture.

I don't know how many of you have known about my crazy diet but here's a picture of me so you can see I haven't been lying about the weight loss. 50 pounds off and a few more to go.

Football Season

the Pine View High School football season is well under way. Matthew is number 92 (according to him- a lucky number) and he is having fun.
Matthew's team is the one in dark colors- he is the one standing on the end waiting to pounce.
They have had a good year so far. Matthew's only injuries to this point have been losing a fingernail, and a sore shoulder. He really likes the tackling part, and manages to get clear across the field to help out. It is fun to watch.
