Homeless

If ever we are homeless, I will rely on my sons to build us a nice "fort". They practice their "self reliance" about twice a day.


Sometimes they even dress up the fort for special visitors like Uncle Bennett.

A sad goodbye

Farewell dear friends. It is sad to see you go (especially because you only made it through one boy), but you have served us well.

Gingerbread House

Making a gingerbread house requires serious concentration.

Nibble Nibble little mouse, who has been nibbling at my house?

If it weren't for tell tale signs of frosting, this would be the face of pure innocence.

The Zoo

The day after Christmas, amidst the snow and slush, we bundled up in multi layers and made a trip to the zoo with Nic and Hyrum family (Thanks for the tickets). Not a lot of animals were out braving the cold, but enough to keep us entertained.


Throwing snowballs is always a fun part of the whole snowfall experience. My man is so strong. Wait a minute, is he throwing that at my son??

Peanuts!!

A very generous Grandpa and Grandma Farmer sent a HUGE box of Christmas stuff. Little did they suspect that half the fun would come from all the packing peanuts inside.
Yes! this whole box of packing peanuts ended up on the floor. The box broke creating a nice slide effect into soft clingy peanuts. At one point Eli and Cade came running to me excited about their "costume" which was made by rolling around in the styrofoam creating a nice static cling that allowed bits and pieces of little peanuts to stick all over their bodies. Good Times! I only wish I would have gotten a picture of the room after that. WOW! While cleaning I just kept reminding myself of how much fun that was for them.
