Mommy and Aiden's Adventure cont...

There was a lot of debating going on in my mind Saturday morning, on whether or not I should make the drive up here, knowing the mountains were expecting a snowstorm. Fortunetly, we safely arrived before the snow hit. Unfortunetly for Aiden, the snow Mommy promised him was not here yet!

So I knelt down on the ground, and put together three little balls of snow, for my Aiden to have a snowman.

 

 But the snow did come, and I was very grateful to be sleeping next to this thing of beauty!

The next morning, we woke up to this!!!

 Aiden was so excited to see that everything was now covered in snow!

So we quickly got dressed, and played in the snow! I'm sure the neighbors won't miss us!

Then it was time to make a REAL snowman.....

 Aiden put the carrot on, and the 10 pebbles for the mouth. And after I added the arms and the eyes, Aiden asked, "Where's the hair?" And I explained that you usually put a hat on his head, but that we didn't have one. But Aiden didn't want a hat, he wanted hair! So I placed the branch of pineneedles on top, and that did it! :)

Right when I took this picture, a huge gust of wind blew and knocked snow on us!

Aiden got his snowman!!



My handsome boys

I love the way Logan is looking at Aiden in this picture!

Mommy and Aiden's Adventure in Showlow!

Aiden got a real kick out of Grandma's little boy. He thought it was him, so he ran up to it and jokingly said, "Aiden, we don't go pee-pee on the house!"

Aiden and "Peanut." Poor Peanut is begging for mercy in the pic, though!

 Aiden was obsessed with Peanut the entire trip- the feeling was not mutual!

 Aiden told the dogs that it was nap-time, I love their expressions in the pic. They are both like, "What is he doing?"

Aiden was blowing air on Ozzie's nose; Ozzie looks very concerned!

More pics to come.... ( our REAL snowman!)

"At The Carwash...'

Last Wednesday, the boys and I decided Mommy's car was in need of a bath!

I love that Aiden's doing all the work....

... and Logan's just chillin'!

FHE at the Temple...

Daniel and I love taking our boys to the Temple, it's a great way to spend time as a family with the Spirit. It calms us down, puts our worrys away, and allows us to focus on the right perspective.

Daddy and our love-bugs!

Aiden and Logan were so super sweet. We went in to "see Jesus." Logan went straight over to the Christus, and we told him "Jesus. This is Je-sus, Loggie." And Logan answered,"Heav'ly Fa der..." and was starting to pray!

Aiden went up and we started talking about Jesus and how he loves us and wants us to obey.  little elderly missionary asked Aiden if he wanted a picture of Christ and he said yes. Then Aiden took his picture and gave it to Jesus and said, "Here you go, it's you Jesus!" I laughed to myself, and then asked if Aiden had anything else he wanted to say to Jesus, and He said yes, but that I had to go sit down while he spoke.

I'm grateful to have this tradition with my little family. That my boys can grow up around their visits to the Temple. That they can have testimonies of their own through the feeling they recieve from the Spirit.

Baby shower...

I had a blast both making this Diaper Cake and attending my friend, Kayla Lindholms' baby girl baby shower!!!!

And for those of you who know me well, no, I did not do this by myself (I'm not THAT crafty!) I rolled and tied every diaper and put the cake together, but then Kelsey helped me make it girly! :) Thnx Kels!

She even added pretty flower hair clips! It was too cute!!  ...... I NEED A GIRL!! ;)

Hooray for Kids Night!!

We have become huge fans of Kids Night at Chik Fil A! This past kids night, we made slime, and got balloons made for us! Aiden's is a green lizard...

... and Lowgs's was a Lion.  (I say "was" because it was destroyed before we even got home!)

My little fireman...

At preschool, Aiden's class took a tour of the nearby Firestation! Aiden was super excited for the fieldtrip, he couldn't wait! This is him posing with the hat he got there!!

Then, Aiden wanted me to take this picture.... I thought, " A fireman hold a hose..... policemen hold guns!" Silly boy!

The rest of maryland pics...

The 2nd night I was there, It began to snow! I felt like a tourist; being the only person outside taking pictures of the snow.

The back porch after James and Joseph shoveled a path for us!

 A friend of Becky and Dad's had told me of a little tradition she started. At the funeral of a loved one of hers, she would take a flower from the arrangement and keep it for a memory. I did the same. This is my bundle of flowers.

This is the arrangement made for my father. It has their wedding colors in it, white with lavender, and the casket was silver- the color of dad's wedding tux.
