A Very Thankful Thanksgiving!

Clogging!

Last night Emma and Ansley had a clogging performance to kickoff the competition season they did great! And both were surprised that they were not even that scared! They also looked adorable!

Candy Cane Heart Suckers Way Cute!

We found this idea in family fun! It was way easy and fun! The only problem is finding candy canes. Nate loved this he said it was so yummy and cute!

A Visit To Mrs. Clause

We took the Preschool to visit Mrs. Clause it was a fun day and Nate loved it!

Nate with his good friend Brody!

Looking through all the windows at Christmas Village.

Nate could not wait for the bag of candy Mrs. Clause gives you at the end, but he really did not want to sit on her lap. He was much relived to realize he could just stand by her.

Helping Family = Happy Momma!

A big thank you to my wonderful husband, who works so hard and always knows when I need a little more help at home!

Fall Photos!

Thanks Melissa, they are so cute! I just love these kidos!

Growing Up!

I found Nate blowing his own nose this morning. I don't know why this was such a big deal for me. I guess it was just another sign that Nate is growing up, a little faster then I am ready for.

Ansley's Feast!

I got to help in Ansley's class room the other day for her Thanksgiving Feast! She loved it! It is so fun to see her doing so well in school, she has just blossomed over the last few months. The other day she wanted me to read her a book, I told her I thought she could read it. She started sounding out words and was so excited she ended up reading 10 books that day. She told me she thought she was the smartest kid in her class. It was priceless!

Fall

Sunday we went for a walk up around snow basin. The girls had a great time collecting leaves. Nate and Tim watched for deer, Matt tracked rabbits. I enjoyed the fresh air and peace the mountains and my family bring me. On the way home Nate was still enjoying the scenery when he said "Mom, Dad look a take at that." We laughed and laughed he is such a funny kid.

Nine!

Nine years ago today I faced the scariest moment in my life up to that point. My water broke in the middle of the night. We had just moved to Oregon, far away from family, and a little 2 year old we could not take to the hospital. At this moment we made the best friends ever, who opened their door in the middle of the night and took our little guy. We ended up having the most beautiful baby, who has blessed our lives immensely. Emma is good at everything she does. She is determined to be the best and has been since she could talk (which was very early). Happy Birthday Beautiful Emma.
