Winter Fun

Here it is, our once a year sledding trip.  We can only handle the coldness that is sledding once so this is it until next year.  The scones and hot cocoa that we had when we got back made it worth it.  Unless you ask Jaycee and there is nothing that could have made it worth it.  She cried the whole time and was completely miserable.  Everyone else had a blast. 

The Hogle Zoo

 We woke up this morning and decided to go to the zoo.  Despite being a little bit cold we had a great time.  There were no crowds to fight and the animals that were out were very playful.  It was great to see the huge tiger up close instead of just being the sleepy head that we see in the summer.  Lucky us deciding to go today, when we got home there was a winter storm watch that will last for pretty much the rest of our Winter Break.  Sledding here we come! 

Halloween

 Carving pumpkins was a hit for all.

 Most liked the dressing up part.

Some did not!

Crazy Hair Day

We love Red Ribbon Week - it's the only time that we get to dress up and act crazy at school.  Today was crazy hair day.  Obviously Cassie needed a little extra bit of help in the hair department.  Anna is so excited to dress up every day but Joey has to be talked into everything (kind of like his dad).  We'll see how he does tomorrow.  Wish us luck!

Halloween Prep

Cassie's Halloween fairy wig needed some serious tlc.  Unfortunately she wouldn't sit still long enough to be much of a help.  Good thing for big brothers who save the day!  We're not sure who is prettier, we'll let each of you decide that for yourselves!

Fall Break

Our family really needed Fall Break this year.  By the time that the flu made it's way around our family (Cassie twice) three weeks had passed.  But it only struck on the weekends, how horrible is that?  We went into Fall Break with fingers crossed that everyone's health would hold up.  We were determined not to do any work unless we dang well wanted to.  We are happy to announce that we were successful and had a great time.  We played, napped and decorated for Halloween (in that order).  We are refreshed and ready for another week of school.  Bring it on!

Grandma & Grandpa

Last week Grandma and Grandpa came from Montana to visit us.  They were super excited to see us and so were we.  It was fantastic that they came to see us but I would rather that we went to their house.  We are already planning a trip to visit them next summer and we can't wait.  We love them both and hope to see them again soon.


We have been super busy now that school has started.  With all of our extra curricular activities sometimes we barely have time to think.  Our family has been working on building a school website for the last week.  We are pretty close to being finished.  If you would like to see what we have been working on here is a link.
