End of 2010- start of 2011

This was the babies first real experience in the snow. It was snowing sideways and freezing cold, but they need to actually go out in the snow, right? Besides up until now we only had one pair of snow boots in their size and Addie needed to try out her new boots!
AJ thought it was pretty fun helping mom shovel the driveway. He lasted much longer than Addison. At one point I turned to look at him and was just standing there trying so hard not to cry. I said," is it to cold little man" and he shook his head yes.
Addison just thought this was crazy she wouldn't leave her hat on and kept taking her gloves off and then would pick up the snow and cry when it was so cold on her hands. 10 minutes and Josh had to take her back in.
Over the Christmas break, we tried to take the kids to do some fun things, I can't do with them alone. We spent the day at the fun park. AJ and Cassady had a blast climbing up and shooting out of that crazy fast slide.


Addison cried when Josh took her down it and was not going down it again. She did climb around for awhile though.




Relaxing at the bottom of the crazy fast slide. That is Cass's term for it.
We went bowling after playing on the soft play and found out that bowling is harder than Wii bowling. Cassady with her bumpers just about beat us all. She at least beat Jordan and Chris and came closer to beating Josh and I, but our strikes in the end, put us a little above her.
Pizza at the bowling alley, kept the babies occupied. AJ ate 3 slices of pizza, with cheese removed of coarse.

We also went down to Layton to go shopping and have Lunch with my parents at the Brick Oven. Josh and I told Jordan and Kylee we would pay for them to go to a movie if they would watch the babies and Cass while we went Narnia.
Then we had our New Year's Feast!
Every year Grandpa makes us all a dinner of Lobster, King Crab legs,and Shrimp. We made Chicken nuggets for the babies, Cassady, and Darci (Kylee's friend). They were not into eating that funny looking stuff.

AJ's idea of a feast!
He loves Guacamole. Eats it with a spoon.

We played a lot of Wii games and invited Jordan's boyfriend, Chris, and Kylee's friend, Darci. At midnight we rang in the New Year and went to bed. Grandma and Grandpa boxing each other. Funnier was when Josh and I and Grandma and Grandpa played tennis. Grandpa kept hitting Grandma with his racket. Good thing they are Styrofoam. We laughed so hard after that. Grandma decided she liked wii sports. It is the only time she wins.
We rang in the new year and went to bed! Then we started with our new church schedule: 1:30 to 4:30. My brother blessed his baby that sunday and it was hard to miss. We just couldn't make it with Josh's meetings, Jordan had a meeting and the first week of the new nursery for me. It is going to be a hard schedule for us. I will miss my afternoon nap and so will all my sweet little nursery kids!
Then we sent everyone back to school and back to work. After having everyone home for 2 weeks it was hard to see them all go. I wish we could win a bunch of money so Josh didn't have to work and we could privately tutor the girls, although they would hate that. I would love to always have them all home.
