Snow Day

It snowed pretty good today. At our home we got about 3-4 inches. My parents live just up the hill from us, about one mile away. They had about 6-7 inches. So, this morning Ron decided we needed fire wood so he headed up the hill with us so we could visit family while he cut. Well, I didn't think we would make it and I let him know that a half dozen times. He says I'm over cautious so up we went. Long story short, I was right. As we were sliding backwards in his car half way up the hill, he yelled for everyone to get out, so we did and we walked up the hill, all but Ron and the dog. I saw the car drifting back and into the bank. Fun experience, everything turned out all right in the end.

Fun Pictures

This last weekend we went up in the mountains to find our Christmas tree. Ron found and cut this one. The trip was quite eventful. Unfortunately, there was no snow, but still a success.

Michael was thrilled being a princess with Paige and dancing up a storm.

YOU GUESSED IT! A DOG!

Funny story. Ron went to the doctor for a regular new patient check up and came back with a dog. He said the doctor said she had 5 German Shepherd puppies and was giving them away for free. He couldn't resist. The dog's name is Ender. The kids are pretty excited about it and for an eight week old puppy he's pretty good, except he keeps pooing on our concrete walk way. That's got to stop!

Of course, there always has to be competition.

Ben's Last Soccer Game

Well, Ron and I coached Ben's 1st grade soccer team this year. It went real well. We won 6 out of 8 games. We lost the first two because the kids weren't sure what they were doing yet. After that, they figured things out and won all of the rest of the games. They were a fun bunch of kids.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

So, this Halloween we had a race car driver, a care bear, and a frog.

This year we went trunk or treating at the church as usual. At first Paige wasn't too sure. Then, after like one minute she figured out the name of the game and she was off. She must have hit each trunk 20 times. I felt bad because people started turning her away (I don't blame them), but I had Michael and was having a hard time keeping up to stop her mooching. It got so bad she started taking candy out of other peoples bags and turning away things she didn't want like pencil's and what not. What a kid, she sure keeps me on my toes.

Michael remained confused about the hole ordeal and wouldn't say a word, but I think he rather liked getting candy for nothing.

Michael At Play

Michael's learning quickly to be like the other two. Although, he's still nice to me.

Pinata time!!!

Paige at bat. Boy she sure got in to it.

Ben's turn.

Ben's first day of school as a first grader.

When asked, afterward, if he liked school he said, " Yes, they have lots of recess!".
Two weeks in, he's not as excited and now thinks school is too long.

It's a little early for that talk!
