Lunch with the Sisters

December 28, 2009

My cute mom took us to lunch at Sweet Tomatoes in Sandy. My kids stayed home with daddy since he is off all week and they were working on putting together the awesome marble track they got for Christmas. Ade was on her way back home to Blackfoot so we all had lunch together before she went home. I love their salad bar and they had amazing Chicken Corn Chowder this time!

I am amazed at how well little Jolie is talking! She just turned two in October and is so adorable and tiny. It just cracks me up when she tells Ade exactly what she wants. At one point she told Ade "I want to run!"  She was squirming in her seat wanting to get down so Ade told her she would go get her an ice-cream cone.  She liked that idea so Ade said to her "will you sit right here until I get back" and she very confidently said "YES"! So cute! ..... and she did sit there until she got back.

It was so nice to get together with the girls (and bubba) Steph and Christy were missed!!!!  I love being with the girls!!!  Makes me wish that Emily had a few little sisters to pal around with... but hopefully the cousins will be a good substitute.

Bubba always cracks me up!

Snow Day!

December 13, 2009

Wow! Did we ever get a snow storm!!! The kids were thrilled! It was great packing snow but SO wet! By the time they came into the house their snow clothes looked like they had stood in the shower! I am so impressed with their snow-woman making skills. I was out of carrots for a nose... so they improvised. Emily used sunflower for the eyes and gave her a lovely head of hair. Ty gets so hot all the time and doesn't like wearing a full hat so he was wearing Emily's ear muffs. You know, I have looked all over the place! They do not sell those for boys. Ty is so bummed about that. He also dropped his gloves in the snow in the front yard and I found them a few days later so I threw them in the wash so he is wearing Emily's gloves too. Makes me giggle a bit.

You know when your kids create that master piece from school and you want to throw it away and you are met with much weeping and wailing!??!?! Ty created this work of art for the "Thanksgiving feast" at school. He loved it so it was moved from place to place in the kitchen. I finally told him that it had to go. He was NOT happy about that. I told him we would take a picture of it that way he could remember it forever. This is the best picture I got out of the three I took... the other two he has that if looks could kill look! I am glad he is proud of his work so I thought this picture was blog worthy :)
