The first Winter Snow Fall...

We woke up this morning to a fresh blanket of snow outside. The kids were so excited. They couldn't wait to put their snow gear on. Winter has officially begun.

Can't Forget Bath Toys...

Apparently I was a little too slow in getting him his bath toys!

Chase's Obsession

EASTER EGGS... I have no idea how this Easter egg got into his toy basket but he LOVES it. Whenever I get down his toys the first thing he goes for is the egg. He will search through the entire basket tossing every other toy aside until he finds his egg.

Our Wonderful Week with Family!

My sister Kristy and her kids came and stayed with us for a week while they were on October break. There is no denying that we had SO MUCH FUN!!! I have missed living close to my sister and my kids have really missed their cousins. We can't wait for them to come again.

We went on a picnic to this beautiful place pictured below. We were glad that Sally and her kids came with us. All the kids had so much fun together.

Chase loved the swing

(my mom and sister Jodi came and stayed a few days. I loved having them here and hope they can stay longer next time)

Walking the trail along the lake

They spent most of their time outside. They were either on the trampoline, playing basketball, exploring around the yard, riding quads, building forts, or making dirt piles for who knows what.

We went to a pumpkin patch where all the kids picked out their own pumpkin. They all came home with some really good pumpkins to carve!

We had a bonfire and made smores one night. The kids loved this. The smores were delicious and the kids found long sticks and had fun making fire torches.

We love you guys! Thanks for visiting and COME BACK SOON!!!

FYI

IT'S SNOWING OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW!!!

Riding Quads with cousins...

Does this not look so fun. I can't tell you how much I love where I live because we can do things like this in our own front yard. Stevens sister Sally and her kids stayed at a families cabin here in Show Low and we LOVED all the time we got to spend with them. The kids had a blast together and I loved visiting with Sally.
