Blizzard of 2006

We survived the Blizzard of 2006!! It was fun. Tim and the kids are absolutely loving it. They were off sledding for a couple of hours this morning. Wesley is sick with a fever/cough thing, so I just stayed inside with him. (This CA girl's not so sure snow is as fun as everyone else thinks it is...)

Anyway, here are some clips and photos from the day's festivities.
Here's Sam tubing down the ramp they made in the front yard



Here's Lindsay in her snow tunnel

Halloween and other updates

I go from three posts in one day to no posts for about 6 weeks!! When it rains, it pours.

What have we been doing lately. We just seem to keep on truckin', doing the same ol', same ol'.

I'm just looking over our pictures for the last few weeks, and I realize that I never put any from Halloween, the actual day. So, here are a few from that eventful night.

Our own Skeleton Bride, Lindsay


The cutest Skeleton you've ever seen, Samuel

Miles as Dracula


Daddy and an awfully cute Bumble Bee


So, that was Halloween.

We also had a very fun visit with Grandma Helen and Grandpa Joe. We went up to Estes Park (right smack dab at the base of the Rocky Mountains). We saw more elk and beautiful scenery. We had an early birthday celebration for Dad and Samuel, our two December birthdays. Grandma and Grandpa were even there for the kids' Primary Program. We had so much fun and already miss them tons. Here are some pics:

Well, that's all for now. Who knows how long this will take to post.

Have a good one.

Wesley's Physical Therapy

Okay, okay. I know. It's getting to be a bit much. This is my third blog for the day. I've just wanted to get these pics and videos on here forever.

Here's Tim giving Wesley some physical therapy. The kids were loving it. Wesley was seriously into it. I don't know if it was just timing, or if Tim's "work-outs" actually helped (he didn't usually do the treadmill, but work with a theraball and walking between chairs while taunting with a favorite book...), but after just three days of working with him, Wesley started to walk on his own a lot. Now, about a week later, I'd say that he walks about 80% of the time. He's so cute.

OCTOBER FUN!!!

We have been having such a fun month. We've carved pumpkins, enjoyed the fall colors, and even played in the snow. The most memorable moment of the month was Miles' and Lindsay's Piano Institute Halloween Party/Recital. They each had a Halloween Song they've been practicing for the month, and then, on Saturday, they performed it at the party. We were so proud of them. They were both definitely nervous (Lindsay was more vocal about her nerves. Poor Miles. I didn't even notice his until I saw the pale-ness of his face after he finished.) They both did great, especially considering it was their first time to play in front of people.
