Snow in Idaho

While in Idaho on our vacation....we had snow!

Fischer would have stayed in the snow all day. At one point we tried to bring him inside and he got upset...so we let him play for a little longer.

Our girl Anja liked the snow...but doesn't like to be cold. And since we weren't prepared for the snow (we had no idea it was actually going to snow) she didn't have her snow pants or gloves. So this little Miss Petunia stayed where it was warm....inside.

Clinton enjoyed playing with the kids in the snow on this vacation. Especially since he was the warmest of all...farm coveralls.

We got to visit with lots of family members, including fun Uncle Aaron who helped build a cool snowman with the boys. If you'll notice...this snowman as legs so they can sit on his lap.

Carter sitting on the snowman's lap. He LOVED building snowmen...they built two.

Carter and Anja posing in the snow. We did everything we could to keep Anja warm. Carter loves to eat snow.

Licorice Kid

On our trip to Idaho (nearly 1 month ago) Fischer enjoyed a couple pieces of licorice. And yes, he REALLY liked them!

Carter's Primary Program

Nearly 1 month ago, Carter had his primary program. He got spiffed up for the occasion. We sat right where we could see him. He had a comfy seat. He knew a bunch of the songs. Yet this lovely boy, decided he didn't want to sing. :) At one point though, he did come down from the stand, give me a hug and a kiss, and then he went back up to sit in his seat. Yeah for Carter!

Eloise, Little Ballerina, and a Hair Cut

Anja's New OutfitFor her birthday, Anja got a new outfit from Mom and Dad.
After she put it on, she reminded me of a little girl...Eloise.
Maybe no one else thinks so, but during and after the photo shoot,
I thought, blond hair, sweater, skirt, knee highs, hair clips...
yes I do think she looks like Eloise in this outfit.

Anja began Creative Movement at a local dance studio in Portland.
She LOVES it!!!
She gets to do ballet and tap in the class.
Every class she is required to have her hair in a bun,
wear her light blue leotard, and pink tights.
She gets so excited!
Last week the class performed for us,
she did a wonderful job.
I love that Anja loves ballet!!!

I gave our little Fischer his First Haircut
(technically his second...because he had such long hair around 6 months)
He did really well...and by my own admission...I think I did too!
