Let it SNOW...finally

We finally got some snow!

And almost everyone was excited

to go out and play in the white stuff?!

Nalu didn't last too long, but wanted

to see what all the excitement was about.

I had talked to the kids about taking them

sledding at the park, but then Ash wasn't feeling good

most of the day (and quinn was gone)

so Ame and kaipo resorted to

trying to make their own little hill

to slide down.

Not sure what Kaipo was doing, but
that is often the questions.
This kid is full of imagination!

And now the kids are tired out and sleeping
in their warm beds. I am sure there will be
many more days to have fun in the snow.
(I prefer fun in the SUN)

D & D

Friday was Dadd and Donuts at the kids school.

ALL the kids got to join in on the fun!

They didn't really have a choice, but nobody was

complaining.

Mmmm...

Quinn's mom gave us a nice big pineapple for

Christmas, and we finally cracked it open.

(well not really CRACKED...)

Before my parents left on their mission,

in cleaning out stuff and packing,

they decided to pass this nifty instrument

on to me. Boy does this thing work awesome!!

2 of the 4 kids were lovin' this pineapple

It was a tasty one!!

scripture power

As part of my primary lesson last week, about

the Book of Mormon, we made these...

MY primary lessons make for great FHE lessons,

and of course anything having to do with candy

interests the kids. One of our new years resolutions

as a family is to read the Book of Mormon together.

So making these just SWEETENED the deal!!

Here's to hopefully many days of happy reading.

Cousins

During the break Ame got to have 2 of her cousins

sleep over for a couple of days.

WOW, I feel for those of you with 3 girls!!

Actually they get along really well.

It was Kaipo and Olivia, who bugged each

other the most. Olivia (middle) preferred

most of the time to hang out with Kaipo.

She is an only child, and I think she

longs for a brother!?

These girls played dress up,

made videos, played LOTS of

Just Dance 3. Ame loves

this opportunity, because it gives her a taste
of what it would be like to have sisters.

They are pretty silly together!!
