MORE snow

We have made it through another storm. This one hit really wierd. We got hit HARD, as well as Utah county, and then in between wasn't as much (from what I hear). We probably got a good 7-8 inches of new snow (or more, I am really bad at estimating), on top of about the same amount which hasn't even melted yet.

This has definitely been a SNOWY winter so far, and it is ONLY January!

But the kids are LOVING it and had a blast today.

This is Kaipo's favorite thing to do with the snow...

The kids spent a good hour and a half playing in the culdesac, with some of our neighbor friends.

Doing everything from sledding...

to getting buried in the snow.

the more snow the better, as far as they are concerned!

The house looks pretty all "snow-caped"

I just don't know how much longer it will be so pretty?!

This is a view out into the culdesac.

Does this give a visual of just how much snow we have around our place?

Jump-On-It

There is this AWESOME place in utah county called Jump-On-It, that is a huge warehouse just full of tramps all lined up. You pay by the hour and up to age 3 is free,

so Kaipo is good for a few more months!

The picture below may lead someone to believe that we have locked out kids up in a cage,

and Kaipo is trying to chew his way out!

The last time we went mommy even paid and joined in on the fun, with the kids.

It is a great work out!

Ame liked to play "cracked the egg".

This pic is a good one to show just how this place is set up.

I mean what a great idea someone came up with!

Imaginary Friends

I found this article from the 'Baby Center E-Newsletter' I regularly get. It was quite enlightening for me, considering the imaginary friend Kaipo has had for quite some time now. Ame never really had one, at least not that I was aware of, so I wasn't sure what to think when Kaipo began talking to and about Kleina (who know how to spell it). I do find it interesting that this friend is a girl. Maybe cuz he has an older sister, that he is used to playing with.

********************************************************************************

Ever catch your child talking to an imaginary friend? Pretend friends can be a healthy part of your child's developing conscience and value system. They keep him company, provide solace, and even share the blame for the things your child wishes she hadn't done.

Kaipo uses the last one A LOT!
