Snow in Arizona?!!

We went to Mt. Graham the other day and played in the snow!! The kids all had a blast--thanks to many family members in Utah who pass down winter clothes to our kids! Without them the kids would not have had so much fun!! Thanks Utah family members!! We also filled up the bed of the truck with snow and brought it home. We made a snow man in the front yard with it!! This is a place we go to when we want to play in the snow. We like it cause it has a little hill that the kids can slide down! On the way to the mountain we stopped at a thrift store to look for some sleds but they did not have any. We then went to Ace Hardware and they did not have any either, but they said that they had a few plastic trash can lids that were extras and we could have them for FREE! It made the hill a lot more Fun! There is a video at the end of Colton going down!

Halloween

We made the kids costumes this year. They wanted to be transformers. It was fun creating them. I thought it was going to be harder than it was. They were not very comfortable and hard to walk in, so the kids were begging to be done with trick or treating early. It was a very fun Halloween! Briley is Optimus Prime, Dayton is Bumble Bee, Colton is Jazz, and Mayley is a 50's girl.

Crazy Kids

The kids loved this hill. This video makes me laugh. They look like a catepillar moving down the hill.

Camping on Mount Graham

In October we decided to go camping. We had such a fun time and decided next time we go camping we will go for a week. We had a brave skunk that would not leave us alone. So we finally let it eat what ever was on the ground in our camp. The picture was a Riggs Lake at the top of the Mountain. It is beautiful up there and very cold. We didn't think to bring jackets.

Our camping spot had a little hill that the kids loved to play on. It kept them very entertained.

This is when we first got to our camping spot. The kids are still clean. They didn't stay like that for long.

Angel Moroni

We took the kids out of school for the historic day!! They mounted the Angel Moroni on the Gila Valley Temple today! It was neat to see it get placed on there. Hope you enjoy the pictures! You can go to the link under "Favorite Sites" to see other construction pictures. The two good pictures are from the website, and the one bad pictures are from our camera (I guess we need a new camera). We took more pictures, and some of all of us, but they did not turn out at all. Anyway, it was fun to see hundreds of people parked on the side of the highway to watch it.

I'm the Big 27

I just had my birthday. It was a fun day. Wes only worked a couple of hours and came home for lunch. We had BLT's for lunch with a tomato from our garden (yummy). For my present I got Settlers of Catan with the expansion. Yea I can't wait to play it. Who ever is up for a game-come on over.

Colton is 4!

He thinks he is so big and doesn't want to turn 5 because the new shoes that he got for his birthday won't fit him anymore. He had a fun Day. Colin and Konda were visiting from UT and came over to spend the night, so the kids had a big slumber party. It was fun to have them over, the kids play so good together and love having cousins at our house.
