Fun in the Snow!

Mike has been working on a hill by our house since after Christmas. He wanted to make it safe and fun for the boys to sled down on....then we had a severe dry period for over 2 months. No snow at all. It was cold, but no snow....until the beginning of March. Here are some fun pictures from the snow fall and sledding.

Nate in front of our house making snow angels.

Jared making snow angels too!

And FINALLY the hill! Not as much snow as we wanted, but we got a few good runs down the hill before it turned to mud. Unfortunately Mike had to go into work that day, so he didn't get to see the reward of his labors, but I tried to take great pictures and video for him.

Bringing the sled back up...hard work for a 3 year old.

Finally they just decided to play in the big snow drifts by the sage brush. I lost Nate a few times.


Josh trying to make his sled go over a little snow bump...

Nate was trying to make a getaway down the hill. A fun time was had by all..except me at the end. I was cold..imagine that!

Nate Turns 3!!!!

Nate is so excited for his airplane cake. I'm glad I was able to deliver and that it actually looks like an airplane..just don't look too closely.

He's three....so sad to see my baby turn three, but, dang, he is just too cute for words. Mike and I have already decided he will be spoiled..just as long as he stays cute!

Grandma and Grandpa Moss bought him a huge basketball present and Grandpa Moss wrapped every square inch of the HUGE box. Nate didn't even care what was in it until he had every single piece of paper off the present! Very very funny!

Rowdy boys and sleeping girls!

Leah took her girls on a run and they fell alseep! Zoe monster is soo cute, sleeeping away

Nate is on his tricycle and Josh wanted to hitch a ride on the back. Nate is not very happy about that. My boys woke up the sleeping girls on the outside...that's how loud they are...aren't I lucky

Need I say more?

They make us soo proud! The pink really goes with the boys don't you think?

Fun in California

I had to put in a picture of the lights Mike did on our house. He didn't win the Home Owners Association prize though...you had to have bought the brightest lights and the biggest blow up ornaments to put on your lawn, driveway, roof, windows to win. You can ask Leah. She lived about 3 houses down from one of the houses that won. She didn't even have to turn on their house lights for the month of December...we should have taken a picture...oh well.

Jared on the zip line!

We went to visit the DeLanges after Christmas and the weather was great in CA compared to what we left in Reno which was a ton of snow! We went to the park before we left and we all loved playing at the park. Here's Alison and Eric trying to knock Marilyn off. Marilyn did a great job staying on!

Here's the zip line...I think we all gave it a try. Out of respect for others I won't put their picture up. We all looked quite silly, except for the kids.

I made it all the way to the end and didn't fall down despite wearing high heel shoes because I forgot tennis shoes. I didn't put the picture of me doing the zip line because I looked horrific!

GO JOSH!

Tire swings...can everyone say...throw up?!?!

Nate has to do everything his brothers do and he is not afraid of ANYTHING!

Christmas Morning

Nate is just too cute coming down the stairs! I love the innocence!

We had a great Christmas morning! It was fun to see the boys open up their presents.

They all were excited for Nate's bike...it snowed and snowed all day on Christmas so he didn't get to get out there and ride, but he used our house as his race track.

Jared thinks he is soo cool. He loves this hat that Aunt Leah gave him!

Finally Josh got his own video camera so he wouldn't play with ours.

Santa Claus is comin' to town!

Well look who it is!

I love Nate's expression! He is soo cute!

My boys weren't afraid of Santa. They loved it!

For those of you who know my family, know about the Santa that visits us...Here you can see Josh tell Santa who he reallly is!

My three monkeys! I am soo glad that I got to enjoy Christmas this year with my family!

Now here is someone who does NOT like Santa...if she only knew....reminds me of Taylor when she was 8 months. I love these kinds of pictures. My boys have never cried on Santa's lap!

Okay, so I had to add the picture of my boys with Taylor. This was in 2003. I love Kim's expression. Josh thinks it is quite funny and Jared is just waiting for anyone to take his picture. He's got the "say cheese" grin!


Aunt Cheryl!
These aren't my babies, but aren't they cute?
Ailee and Savannah!
