Nuts and Honey

Do I need to say more?

Let it Snow!

Old man winter finally sent us wet snow today. Greg helped Warren make a huge snowman in the backyard today. Frosty is so big I had to help Greg lift the center ball on. Of course Greg is sick so that is why he didn't do it himself. But it's one big Frosty.

We took a few pictures after family home evening last night. Warren had so much fun decorating his I am a Child of God crown.

The Confession of a Chocoholic

While working on primary items yesterday I sort of lost track of my children. It all started with Warren finding the box of chocolate pudding. Well you can see how it ended. First I smelled poopy diapers, so I came out to investigate. For once I laughed and found a camera. Have I been a mother for a while or what?

It sure feels good to have Christmas put away. Saturday we spent most of the day taking down the tree and lights and then we cleaned the garage. Glad we got it done then because we woke up to a white winter wonderland this morning. I just love it when it snows and covers up the world. Everything looks clean and pretty for a while.

A little of this and that

I can't believe I forgot to take pictures on Christmas. First I set up the video camera @ our house and then totally forgot to take regular pictures. Then we walked out the door without the camera! So the only pictures I have of Christmas are courtesy of my mom. Bless her heart. I can't believe I missed out on pictures of sledding out on the farm. We had so much fun. Warren thought it was great and didn't even get upset when I dumped our sled and he went into the snow head first. Good times!!!

How is it that baby boys always have the most beautiful eyelashes. He's just a doll. I really enjoy this age. All except the I can't talk so I'll just screech at you part:)

Warren has entered the WHY stage. I have never answered so many questions in a day. Occasionally Greg and I just say I don't know son. He is so much fun. Earlier this morning he picks up a cord and says, "Mom I'm just curious about cords." It made me laugh. I think the correct statement is I'm just curious about everything. He begged for watermelon the other day so I caved in and bought a personal size one. "Mom that one is not big" Warren informed me. Everything is supposed to be big and for heavens sake RED!!!!

Oh the perturbed kitty cat. Our bird feeder is driving the cat crazy. Most days this is where she can be found, ears back and tail flying.

Happy Thanksgiving and A Few Stitches

We had a great Thanksgiving. We spent a lot of time out at Greg's parents. They butchered their pigs and we came home with lots of wonderful meat. What great in-laws I have! Here are a few pictures from the family fun. We had a bonfire, complete with smores! Life is good when chocolate and fire and family are involved!

Warren has had his first offical medical issue. Yesterday morning I woke up to find him dressed and downstairs. He has figured out how to open the gate at the top of the stairs. Sigh!!! I came into the living room and sat down. Not two seconds later he ran across the dining room to let the cat in the sliding glass door. He slipped and spun. Then his head connected with the barstool. I knew before I even stopped hugging him that there would be blood. He is the proud owner of 3 stitches right by his left eyebrow. Poor kid. We had to wrap him in a burrito at the ER to get the stitches in.

We spent Monday putting up Christmas lights. I got the boys all bundled up to go out. They looked so cute. Then we get out and it's 50 degrees. I about boiled them! Warren has made it his job to plug in the lights every night. When he wakes up he's mad that someone has unplugged them!

We had a primary activity day a few weeks ago. I just have to throw in a few pictures.

Happy Halloween

Our crazy new past time- Bird watching!

Here are a few highlights from our Halloween! Greg took the night off and went trick or treating with us. It was great to have him home. It was the first Halloween he has spent with the boys.

Pumpkin Liner

We decided that we would go on a train ride this year as part of our staycation. We went up to Horseshoe Bend and road the pumpkin liner. The weather was dreadful to start with and we had to ride inside the dining car but as we approached the pumpkin patch the rain stopped and we were able to get our pumpkins. Warren thought it was so much fun! Who wouldn't have fun when both sets of Grandparents are there to share the fun. Thanks for coming Grandma's and Pa's.
