Snow Day! Or what we thought was going to be a snow day!!!

This last Saturday night it snowed a little bit up in Orem, but it Dumped a Ton on every town but ours. Bryan said that Jack Frost just sneazed on us and cried on everyone else. Anyways, by the time we got home from church on Sunday, the boys were dying to get their snow clothes on and play in the snow. It was not good, because this was all that was left of the snow.

They got out the sled and tried to sled down the slide in the sandbox. Taylor did ok, but when it got to Hayden's turn, I was a little nervous about that one. He almost went off the side of the slide. So we ended that really quick.

The REAL SNOW DAY!!!

Today, Tuesday, it finally snowed. Hayden wanted his snow clothes on first thing this morning, and I told him he had to eat breakfast first. I don't think I have ever seen him eat so fast. He ran into his bedroom, got his clothes, and wanted them on quick.

When Bryan got home from UPS this morning, it was even more of a reason to get them on and go out with him to help him with all the walks. The first thing he did was fall in the snow and do a snow angel! It was sooooo cute. Taylor is dying to get out of school and come home to play too! Bryan got a new snow blower as part of his Christmas gift. I think it was actually for me and him. This way, it doesn't take us more than 10 minutes to remove the snow instead of 1-2 hours! WE LOVE IT!!!!

Fall 2009-

Right after Halloween, the leaves down at Foxwood started to fall a ton! Taylor kept telling me how he remembered how we used to rake the leaves and play in them. So we took the boys down to play in the leaves. NOT THE RAKING! We don't do landscaping anymore, so we just played for a little while. The boys decided to climb into one of the package mail boxes and become a SPECIAL delivery. It was so fun to fit them both in there. A little tight, but funny!

A little unsure of the leaves and how they felt as they went down their shirts, in their hats and everywhere else you could think of!

We had a really great time.

It has been a while since I posted my last blog! OK! It has bee a LONG while. Our laptop had to be retired and since then, it is hard for me to actually go down stairs and spend a while on the desk top computer vs. sitting in my bed at night and doing all of this! Anyways, here it goes...


Here are the boys when the weather started getting really bad, and it was starting to really feel cold out side. They love to go up to Glen Canyon park and climb the rock walls that they have. What can we say, "we have a bunch of monkeys!"





In mid October we had an apartment activity with all of our complexes and we decided to take Taylor ice skating that night. He had been telling us for a long time that he needed to go and learn how so that he could teach Hayden. He started out ice skating with a bar that is in front of him, and that only lasted about 15 minutes. After that, he was on his own!!! I think that now he know how, he will not only have to learn to teach Hayden, but the new baby too!
Here are some pictures of Halloween. I made sugar cookies with the boys on FHE night. They love to make them, but sometimes I have to really get the courage up to attempt them with all the mess and all. They did really great, and Grandma & Grandpa Anderson came over to try them with us. All was enjoyed!!!
Bryan was so lucky to have worked the early shift on Halloween day, he got to get off by 4:30 and come trick or treating with us. The boys loved it and we had a great time. Taylor this Halloween was Dark Knight for school & church, a cowboy at home and wanted to be a Vampire for trick or treating. It was definitely eventful. Hayden was Buzz Lightyear for the church activity and Batman the night of trick or treating. Bryan was his usual Hippy salesman and went to work dressed like that! It was great. And me, I didn't fit in much so I got a new T-shirt that had decor on it for an angel and wore my wings. I about put on the back of my shirt "knocked up angel" but we figured that was not appropriate.
