Sledding!

Bowling

We went bowling with the Woods last weekend, just for fun. Both Troy and Zada really liked it, at least for the first 30 minutes. And I believe Zada beat me with her ramp and bumpers. Troy might have too. Bowling is not my strong sport.

After bowling we grabbed dinner at MillHollow. They have yummy sandwiches. It has been forever since we ate there! The last picture is of Troy cuddling up to Gracie while watching some Christmas movies. Or should I say Gracie cuddling up to Troy? He was there first. . .

Painting Christmas ornaments

Forget about filling Daddy's shoes, what about big brothers?

Zada is a girl, she loves shoes. . .already. She found Troy's boots today (which did not make Troy happy) and had fun playing with them. I thought she looked very stylish. :)

6 years, baby!

Blue and Gold

One of the perks about being closer to family has been the high school games we have been able to go to. We went to a couple of football playoff games to cheer on my brother. Sadly, we lost to Mackay last Friday. Bring on basketball!

Pumpkins, Mickey Mouse, and the Ladybug

We carved pumpkins for FHE monday night with Lance, Autumn, and Paisley. I think we have a new tradition in our house, but I can tell that Ted and I are going to have to pick it up a notch to equal the Lance Peck Family. They brought 3 pumpkins, carving tools, and patterns and carved 2 pumpkins. We carved one. Maybe next year Troy will care more about having his own. The kids liked it for the first 5 minutes then got distracted. We ended the evening with tired kids and sugar cookies.

This is the face she gives me when I pull out my camera now. Hilarious!

Tuesday night our ward had their trunk-or-treat. It was freezing! The kids were done before we even got all the way around the parking lot. But being the good parent I am, I made them get as much candy as possible :) Now we don't have to go out on Halloween unless it's good weather.

Troy as Mickey Mouse, Zada the Ladybug, and Paisley the Fairy

Troy, of course, wanted to be Mickey Mouse. I picked up Zada's costume at Other Mothers in Boise. Don't let the smiles fool you, she hated it when I put it on her. Maybe she just hated all the layers I put under her costume.

Yes, that is snow on the ground. I'm glad thats all we got.
