Trip to the snow!!

We took a trip up to Flagstaff last week to let the kids play in the snow.  They have never seen the snow so we were all very excited.  You would think Zach and I had never played in the snow because it turned out we were not very prepared!  First of all it was a VERY last minute decision to go.  For some reason it took us about twice as long as it should have to drive up to Flagstaff.  Not to mention all the stops and screaming children and feeding Jocy and lunch.  ( I guess that might be a clue to why it took us so long to get there).  We finally got there and the kids got to play!!  We all had so much fun!  I had my kids double up on clothes so that they would be warm enough since they don't have snow suits, but apparently snow is wet.   Yes I know, how did I not realize that the kids would be soaked through by the time we were done, who knows?  I didn't bring any extra clothes for my kids, so we had to make a quick stop at Target for some replacements.  Hooray for 75% off sales!  We got to see my younger brother Toby when we were finished with our snow adventure since he lives in Flagstaff.  We went to dinner at Chili's (complete with children with no shoes, and mismatched clothes) and had a great visit..( Sorry Toby for all the embarrasment from Zach!)  I would have more pictures to post, but one last thing had to go wrong...my battery died on my camera!  Luckily the fun that we had spending with our little family and the memories that we now have made up for all of the mishaps!  We had so much fun and never again will I go to the snow without some snow suits!

Rai's Hair....

Since I was posting about Lotties hair, I figured I would show everyone how cute Railynn's hair was on sunday.  I am NOT good at doing hair...Railynn always has the same hairstyle-(a pony on top of her head).  My brother in law asked me once why I always do her hair the same way..BECAUSE I CANT DO HAIR!!! I decided to switch it up a little and it turned out so great!  Maybe I will try new things a little more often.

   This obviously isn't a picture of Railynn's hair, but it was such a great picture I had to put it in!  Jocy is already 5 months old and wearing 12 month clothes.  Can you believe it?

Lotties Hair

Charai came over last week with the kids and I took some pictures of Lotties cute hair...It is curly!  This post is mostly for Char ( she wanted to show her husbie).  Lottie is the first grandchild with curly hair.  You would think since Zach and I both have ( had in Zachs case..HA!!) curly hair, that at least one of our kids would get it.  Nope...just Lottie!

                   I know you cant really see her hair,  but I thought the picture was cute!

                                                                       Love ya Char!

Playing the WII...

This is seriously the funniest video ever... Logan is a natural at the WII, he can beat anyone at bowling and boxing which is what they are playing here.  I am pretty sure he beat Zach.  What a workout!

Close Call....

Logan was in the shower yesterday and I went in to check on him since he had already been in there FOREVER!! ( He takes very long showers) I walked into the bathroom and smelled smoke. I looked up to see his spongebob pajama shirt hanging from the bathroom vanity light.  I obviously freaked out and when I asked him why his pajama shirt was on the light , my too smart for his own good son came up with the brilliant idea to hang his shirt on the light so it would be warm when he got out of the shower!  We had a long talk...as you can see by the pictures we are very lucky!
