This is what we woke up to on Sunday morning. Yikes! The kids were so excited. We got about 6 or 7 inches.
He just couldn't help himself. Luckily I was able to take these pictures from the warmth and safety of my bedroom window!
We let Parker run around in the snow for a bit even though it was Sunday. So we went to church and the bishop got up and said, "Merry Christmas"...ha ha! And Parker immediately looked at me a little puzzled and I told him he was only kidding. So we are coming home from church and we pull up in the driveway and Parker says, "Mom and Dad I have some bad news....Halloween is cancelled!" We look at him and he is dead serious and we could not stop laughing! It took us a while to convince him that we are still going to have Halloween. After all, we do already have the Iron man costume as you can see!
This is Parker doing our ward 5K race. Some people run and a lot of kids ride bikes, scooters, etc. He takes it very seriously. He looks forward to it for weeks. I tried to run with him last time and didn't take into account his very competitive nature. He was long gone and Cory had to drive to find him and make sure he knew the way to go. He started preparing for the race after dinner by doing pushups and stretching. It was awesome! He took 3rd place behind two boys on bikes that were 11 and 12. Go Parker!!! He is already looking forward to the day when he can do triathlons. I think he needs to be 6 or 7 so I've got a couple of years to train him:o)
This is Spencer on the phone. Whenever the boys get mad at me they threaten to call Cory. Parker will call him and say, "Mommy has been naughty!" Spencer will usually just say, "I want my daddy, I don't like you!" Gee, thanks guys. Way to make mom feel special.
This is our dog Pepper. We've had her for 3 years now. We got her when she was a puppy. She is a great dog and she is small and weighs the same as Spencer (28 pounds) so the boys like to play with her and wrestle. Parker thinks she is big enough that he can ride on her back and he trys all the time and she really hates it.
These are the flowers Cory got for me last Thursday. He was feeling bad about leaving to go hunting. There were so pretty he did good.
