Last week of January 2009

Hello, can you all believe it is the last day of January? I can not believe how time flies. This past week has been an interesting one here on Squash Blossom. Saturday it began to snow and it snowed all weekend and all day Monday-Wednesday. It was Crazy.
Monday, Robbie had a Dentist appointment. It took us over 45 minutes to get from our house to the dentist office. Can you say Crazy. I decided to keep the boys home from school cause I didn't want to travel anymore (I so dislike driving in the snow) so when we got home we hooked a sled up to the 4 wheeler and off we went on a fun little ride. Tuesday, School was cancelled do to all of the snow, neg. 25 degree temps. and crazy wind. Tuesday night I had signed up to take rolls to the Missionaries for their zone conference. Well the boys and I started off to take the rolls, we made it out of the driveway, and headed onto the road and we got stuck in a snow drift that when I got out of the car I sunk to my knees. (gotta love the wind) I proceed to walk home get a shovel and I start trying to dig myself out. Thankfully I have some nice people that live in Wyoming ( I seem to be the one who is need of service recently) anyway 2 guys stop in 2 different trucks, it takes 1 truck pushing the car and 1 truck pulling the car to get us out. Wednesday, school was cancelled for half a day again do to weather. Thursday, must have been uneventful cause I don't remember much about it. Friday, we spent the day getting ready for today.
Saturday, was snow days. What is snow days? Snow days is where all of the cub scouts get together on top of the mountain and make snow sculptures. They have to design the snow, sculpt it and then paint it. It was rather a fun and enjoyable day.
I put the pictures on here via a slide show at the bottom of this so I hope you all enjoy our week in the snow.

We love you all.

What a weekend!!!

Okay, so I just have to let you all know that it has been snowing and it has been for 3 days straight. The weatherman says that it is supposed to continue through Tuesday. Some huge snow totals by the end of it. This last week has been crazy. I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. Come to find out that it was all done unnoticed. We had the missionaries over for dinner on Friday night. They are rather fun 2 of the 3 are from Utah, which makes it fun to talk with them. Jeannette came over on Friday and we tied a quilt. She is amazing at sewing them. As from the picture you can see we also had company. Kennen's brother Chris came to visit for Saturday night, which was a lot of fun. Wish he could have stayed longer.
We also took our kids to PlayHouse Disney Live. We attended this on Sunday afternoon at the Casper Event Center. I feel very lucky to live in the event area of Wyoming so that we don't have to travel. Sid had a great time, there was Handy Manny. That is way cool huh mom.

As you can see from the picture we went with Jeannette and the kids, which was fun. I even got to hold and snuggle Linsey.

So, Robbie is trying not to smile or look like he is having a good time. Do you think he fooled anyone?

This is the stage before it all started. Just had to have a proof picture.

Look at the boys. How serious can you be???? With Kennen and Chris together not very.

I hope that you all had a good week and I hope that you all stay warm. We love you and keep safe tell next week.

A DAY OFF OF SCHOOL AND WORK

Today was a day off of school. It was also Kennen's day off of work which worked out great. We went with some friends and launched a rocket. Yes, we got to launch a rocket on Jan.19 in Wyoming. It was 50 degrees and hardly any wind. It was LOVELY. This is the guys and the kids getting the rocket ready for lift off.

This is Robbie being Robbie. He says he hates his picture taken so this is what I get. Someday he will look at this and think why did I give my mom such a hard time about pictures.

This is our Sid, he is acting like Sid. :) We love his fun personality. Can you see the shaggy hair????

Okay.....Who does this picture remind you of? Kennen and I laughed and laughed at how much the face expression was so much like Robbie. So not a Sid face. Where did he go???

Here he is, now that is the Sid we all love.

Our week was good. Sid had some oral surgery this last week which was a hard thing but thankfully we only have one more time to go. The next surgery will be Feb. 18 (Happy Birthday Daddy, you get to fix teeth) Robbie had a dentist appointment as well, we go back this week for him to fill a cavity. I just love the dentist office, after all of the work is done maybe they will give me a job.

I was informed by Bill Hickens that his and Kennens birthday is in 29 days. Who's counting anyways? Oh yeah Bill is.....

We hope you all have a wonderful week. We are sure going to try. We have loved the weather, for all of you in Utah. It has been wonderful, you should come here to get out of the cold. Like I said it was 50 degrees today. It is supposed to be nice through Friday and then nice again on Sunday. Yea!!!! I love nice weather. (it was 12 degrees in Springville when I checked tonight and 36 in Casper) I am not rubbing it in or anything. Love you all.

Our last week of vacation. :)

Our Sledding Trip. We had so much fun. Thanks Jeannette for inviting us to go. This picture is of Hayley and Jackson Berg

This is Robbie with Hayley following close behind.

This is Robbie.

This is Sid having so much fun. Isn't he cute???

This picture is Jeannette, Jackson, Linsie, Hayley, baby Becca, Stacy and Abby.

okay so this last week was the last week of vacation for Robbie. He starts school tomorrow. YIPPY!!!! wait I am not excited. I am so ready for the regular routines to start back up again.

Sid had to go to school all week. He didn't like that cause, "Mom Robbie isn't going to school why do I?" Since Robbie got to stay home with mom we were able to go to lunch and get cokes. But, he found out what it is like to stay home and clean, do laundry and run Sid back and forth to school.

On Thursday, Jeannette and Stacy and their kids came over so that the adults could play on the Wii. We were dancing with DDR. We had a blast and a great workout. We decided that we should do that more often.

On Friday Jeannette, Stacy and I took the kids sledding. It was so much fun. I have the pictures to show you all. Robbie went to the top of the hill the very first run. (okay heres the deal, none of the men there were going to the top of the hill. This should have been a clue to the 9 year old. Right????) Anyway, he proceeded to climb. I turned to Stacy and said he is going to get hurt. He came down the hill laying on the sled so he was going super fast hit a jump, still laying and landed on his back. He proceded to start crying and saying his back is broken. Being the mean mom I told him to get up and go sit in Jeannettes truck until he quite crying or until we were done sledding. He came back out and decided that 1/4 of the way up the hill was enough. Sid had a blast and didn't want to leave, nor did he want to share the sled cause he was having way to much fun.

On Saturday one of my friends from Price came to visit us. It was so fun to see her since we haven't seen each other since Kennen and I got married. They stayed here for the weekend which was so very much fun.

We hope that you all had a great week. Love you all.
