Hitting the Slopes

 

The boys were fast and furious tonight! I may have been frozen to the bone with no feeling in my fingers and toes but they were flying down the hill and running back up. I said a prayer each time one launched off. Zion always going head first, Malakai the speed demon with no use for breaks and Silas always taking the running start. My 3 amazing little boys, with red cheeks had a great time sledding tonight!

Snow Day

 

The boys' noses where stuck to the window last night eagerly watching the huge flakes fall. They each ran out the door in pajamas to dance in the fresh snow. Malakai was up till nearly midnight so excited, anticipating snow day! Luckily his school had a two hour delay. The kids were so excited to dive in! Malakai decided to use the deck as a launch for his sled. I think the boys may have some bruised bums tomorrow! With red cheeks, and cold fingers snow day was a great one! Although not complete until after some hot chocolate to warm them!

USA Wrestling

 

This past week we had the first USA wrestling practice of the year. Silas has been waiting for a long time to be on the mat. We warned him that he would have to wrestle kids a lot bigger than him in order to wrestle. He didn't care, he has the heart of a giant and was ready to hit the mat! Malakai is returning for his 3rd year. I am amazed at how Silas is picking up the moves and the true dedication he is showing. Malakai is playing the cool big brother, showing Silas the ropes. We are excited to see the boys wrestle at a tournament. Of course now Zion is on the sidelines anticipating his turn!

Fall Camping Trip

 

 

We have been looking for a tent trailer for a long time! We finally found a great deal but of course summer was long over. Josh and I wanted to go camping for our 5th anniversary before we needed to put the trailer away for winter. We went to squaw rock up in Naches. The kids had a great time and the trailer was perfect for our family. We also got to visit Josh's grandma and aunt. The kids really had a great time with their grandma. She had all kinds of treats for them and was very sweet. We also met, "Laurie's deer." Josh's Aunt Laurie has pet deer that will come up in their yard where she will feed them apples. We got to see several deer stop by and the kids were able to throw some apples there way. We are all excited about many summer camping trip and adventures!

Zion Before and After

 

Zion and his new hair! His beautiful curls survived the cut! I am blessed with a kind hearted beautiful boy who warms my heart.

Zion before and after

 

We finally made the cut on Zion's hair. A few months ago he got it trimmed for school. But he decided he wanted more cut off. His little curls even survived the cut! They are adorable and are so angelic. I am blessed with a beautiful son, who warms our hearts in such a beautiful way.

Silas and Zion Stop, Drop and Roll

 

Silas and Zions preschool class went on a field trip to the Fire Station. I believe the kids were a little dissapointed that Chief was unable to lead the tour, but they were able to see him while they were there. The kids learned about all the different rigs and tools that the Firefighters need to rescue people. They even got to ride on a bus to the fire station, they were really excited about that! The kids were all so cute! They really enjoyed the stop, drop and roll activity. What a great opporuntunity for these little guys!
