Clara's Snowman

Well we made a list of all the things we wanted to do over Christmas break and one thing Clara wanted to do was make a snowman. So we went out in the backyard and made one. He's waving and gives people high fives.

Oh the weather outside is frightful...

Here's some pics from Christmas. We got close to 3 feet of snow! It was my first white Christmas and it was definitely full of white! The top pic is from today- Jeremy really wanted to barbecue some steak, so he shoveled a path to the grill! The rest are pics from Christmas, we had a very enjoyable one. My friend, Jane, made the kids blankets for Christmas- Zack's has football on one side and basketball on the other- why didn't I think of that! :)

First day of Christmas Break

Today was a busy day! We made gingerbread houses and played in the snow. Buddy the elf would be proud! We've had lots of snow lately, about 18 inches or so. Today we were finally all healthy enough to go out and play. Hayley and Clara had lots of fun but I don't think that Zack enjoyed it. It was his first time this year in the snow and he was not so thrilled. At least he smiled when I took some pictures. This weekend we had a freezing fog- which leaves every thing flocked with snow. It's really pretty!

Oh, as a funny side note- I bought chains for my car and asked the salesman how to put them on. He started to get really frustrated with me while he was explaining it, and I said "Look, give me a break, I'm a 6th generation San Diegan and somehow I have ended up here with all this white stuff and I don't know what to do!"

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We had our first snow today. Up until now it has been so warm that my spring bulbs were sprouting. Unfortunately we've been sick this week, and Zack has had the worst of it. We went to the mall the other night to get out of the house and happened to see Santa. (That's why Zack is in his fire truck pajamas.) -I think that it caught Santa off guard!

Twins!

Zack had lots of fun in Utah with his twin- I mean cousin Miles. They look exactly the same from the back! Perhaps the only thing better that he liked on the trip was playing on Grandma Betty's stairs. Too bad Annie's son, Travis, wasn't around, then we could have had triplets!

Having fun in Utah

While in Utah, Daniel and Stacy took Jeremy off-roading up in the mountains above Provo. The girls had fun with cousins Jacob and baby Canyon, who was caught taking a break for some quick energy before more off-roading. We also took the kids to BYU to show them our old stomping grounds and to buy some new hats.

In Cousin Heaven

Our trip to Utah was greatly anticipated because we knew we would be meeting 3 new cousins for the first time. Here Jeremy's mom is holding babies Sophie and Max. The two were blessed while we were there and we were so glad to have been there for it! We had family pictures taken while were were there and had lots of fun afterward playing Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Jeremy and his brothers in law are even thinking about taking there band on tour. What would they be called? Air (Guitar) Supply? :)
