Enjoying the weather

Over the weekend the kids were desperate to take their umbrellas outside into the slushy snow.  OK WHY NOT!  So while the cars were sliding all around in Bountiful (you know what video clip I'm talking about don't you!) we barely got a dusting of snow over here. 

Carter kept saying he wanted to climb the tree, and I said, "It's going to be too slippery and wet to climb, buddy" but he proved me wrong.

Also on Saturday I went to lunch with Malissa and Stacy, remember those who befriended me while I was giving myself a pity party 6 years ago when I moved into the ward?  It's so fun when we get together.  I love you guys!  sniff sniff

THEN on Sunday my family celebrated my Grandpa-who-is-not-really-my-grandpa-but-we-adopted-into-our-family Woodland's 88th birthday!  I have mentioned him before, he lived on the street my family moved on back when I was 4 years old (and they still live there).  He and his wife could never have children and he quickly became our grandpa.  He sealed Nate and I in the temple.  I love him!!!!  And I tell you for 88 he is doing AMAZING!  We had fun listening to his war stories.  It's like an episode of "24" okay maybe not quite.

Fun with tongs.

I had fun with Logan and Kaitlyn this morning while Jenna was at school and Carter was at preschool.  Logan said he wanted to go outside and he wasn't kidding.  He found a jacket and Jenna's knee high shiny black boots and he was out the door.  Kaitlyn was right behind him with no coat and no shoes.  So I grabbed what I could find and threw them on Kaitlyn, thus her awesome fashion statement.  They were so cute to watch.  Logan and Kaitlyn are so cute together lately, playing and chasing and giggling.






Hi I'm Logan and I love to eat snow and my mommy just lets me.

Mmmmmm

Of course she uses the non-gloved hand.

Annnd delayed reaction again... yes touching snow without gloves hurts!

Oh man tonight I had so much fun with this girl.  I would say, "IIIIIIII'm gonna get you!!!"  and instead of running away she squeals and runs right into my arms.  Then she runs across the room and waits for me to say it again.  Mmm I love it.  Then I was trying to change her diaper and she takes off, completely naked, and the kids think it is hysterical and chase her down while she giggles and giggles. 

It is these moments that I absolutely cherish.
