This morning when we woke up...

The doors to our van were frozen shut!! Luckily, the driver door opened up and we were able to load the kiddos into the van. Time to park in the garage!

This is what we have been up to...

We woke up to gloriuos white snow falling this morning. It was only 7:45am, but our kids through their snow suits on so quickly and were out playing as fast as they could. Yes, it was only a dusting and yes, there is only a small amount left now (2pm), but it was wonderful.
We remembered that our trash cans were not out on the curb, so Randy had to bundle up as well and take them out to the street.

I took a picture with a flash, and yes folks, those are real snowflakes falling.

Meridian Christmas Parade over the weekend, loved it. Kids came home with more candy then Halloween and Beanie babies that they passed out to all the kids (and parents) yelling.

More family visits...Thanksgiving 2008

For Thanksgiving weekend we had two of my brothers and my Uncle Gerry come for a great visist. We had the best visit ever and our kids adored every minute of extra attention from their uncles. Uncle Brian was renamed "poopy watermelon breath," and Justin was renamed "Uncle Tootie." For a day trip we headed over to Camelback park for a little mini hike and some fresh air, it was gorgeous day for a walk.

We are soooo Thankful

We are so thankful that we had a special opportunity to have a short visit with Nanna Cathy and Dennis. By taking advantage of a Montana Family visit, we were able to meet halfway in Grangeville, Idaho for a long over due visit. What wonderful family we have...we are so thankful for the love and kindness and generiousty that the Doss/Lange clan have showered on us. Here is to many more visits in the future!!

Lots of hugs on this special time!!

I love this picture. Aiden and Nanna Cathy heading towards the walking trail. Notice Aidens new hat, thank you Dennis and Cathy!!

Aiden and Maia found about 30 different bones on this trail, scattered all over and yes, the bones did come home with us.

Maia declared this little bush a "Christmas Tree" It was a really cute little bush.
