Here is another scrapblog-the pics are obviously old, but I am working on Kali's baby book.

More Snow Ice Cream!

During our Monopoly tournament last night Toby decided that he needed some snow ice cream. This time we added raspberrys and it was AMAZING! It is impossible to stay on any kind of diet...we got Wii Fit for Christmas (gotta love Santa) and I was thinking that having it would make it really fun to exercise. Love it, but actually turning it on to exercise is the part that needs to happen! Kicking Toby's but at soccer is just way more fun...that and ice skating.

For Christmas Eve we broke out the monopoly game! We played it with Mike and LaRene, and we had some fun! It's been so long since we've played it, that we had to examine the rules! Right off the bat, LaRene and Toby started killing everyone...Toby was the banker. (Go figure) We had so much fun that we played it again last night, and Toby won. Monopoly. Who knew it could be so much fun!

BRRRRRRRRR

Okay, I started out something new, and I love it! I found a website called scrapblog.com (something everyone else in the world probably knew about a long time ago :) So here are some of the first blogs I did on it. The pics of Tyler doing his T-Ball seem like they were just taken...he was such a cute little stinker. Wow he grew up fast! The pics of Dallin in my makeup were taken recently. There is something about makeup that says "get into me and make a mess!"

Well, the snow just keeps coming! I took the boys out tonight to sled down the small hill in our backyard and build a snowman with them. We made it down the hill twice and I was freakin cold! So we went to build our snowman, carrot for the nose was ready and everything...and the snow wouldn't even stick. Dang powder! So I went inside and grabbed a large cup of water, thinking I could wet down the snow a little. (The things we do for our kids) Wow! I made one tiny snowball with the water! So we gave up on that, and by the time we got inside I thought I was going to lose some fingers to frostbite. Sick of the cold! Bring on the sun already.

Snow Ice Cream

With all the snow we've been getting, we decided to make some snow ice cream! We made it once last year, and loved it! Toby and Tyler went outside to find some fresh snow, and then Toby and LaRene (my mother-in-law) added the ingredients to make it. YUM! It tasted so good-we filled a huge baking bowl with it, and ate almost all of it. I'm not a fan of the freezing cold, but we had fun!

PIZZA NIGHT!

We had a pizza night this week where we all made homemade pizza. Toby started it off by attempting a pizza toss...then Tyler had to give it a try! Dallin woke up and ate all of our cheese. Me, trying to make it fun, made a Christmas tree pizza. Tyler didn't think it was very cool..."Mom, a Christmas tree pizza? Who would do that?" What do six year olds know? He was probably too embarrassed to admit that he loved it. I swear I'm the coolest mom ever, he just hasn't figured it out yet! ;)

(Sorry about the sideways pic of Toby-I thought I fixed all that, but I'm not going to change it now :)

Family Pictures

Melanie came out to do some family pics for us, and WOW! I've decided that my kids are crazy. Of course I'm going to say that "usually" they are great for posing at pics, but this one definitely NOT one of those days. Trying to get three kids to look at one little camera without freaking out, making a silly face, or jumping around, seems near impossible. But somehow we made it out with some good shots. Thanks Melanie! You're the best!

We spent Thanksgiving in Coer'dlane, Idaho at Toby's brother's house and we had soooooo much fun! We not only ate enough for a small army, but we also went to triple play indoor water park! The kids really had a fun time going down the slide that turns into a life size "toilet bowl." I'm not sure who had more fun, the parents or the kids! We took turns playing babysitter to go down the slides ourself!

We also did something really fun-go rollerskating! We went with OC and Rachel, and it was definitely the highlight of the trip. I'm not sure if we had more fun trying not to fall down, or watching all the skate bums dancing in their skates. Even Dallin did a really good job! When I get pics of that I will post them. Too bad I didn't have the video camera...

Dallin likes to steal our camera, and we find pictures like this on it. He is quite the little photographer.

Halloween 08

I am finally getting up pictures of Halloween! This was after we helped with the AIM carnival-Dallin is a bug, Tyler a Power Ranger, and me and Toby were Rockstars

! (Toby dresses like a rockstar everyday!) Kali is not in the picture but she was a ballerina!
