Winter has hit us hard already. The snow has been beautiful and we have loved going sledding, enjoying hot chocolate and using our wood burning fire place. Saturday we got about 4 inches. Aaron decided we needed to get the rest of our wood split so after cutting for a couple hours, we bundled up the kids and went out to stack the wood in the freezing cold temperatures. We actually had a really good time working as a family.
The cold weather has brought the animals up into our yard. We have been visited by lots and lots of antelope and some deer. The kids love pressing their face to the window and watching them. Todd has figured out that the males usually have antlers and will count and tell us how many there are of each gender. Tonight we had 4 female deer hanging out by our swing set and the night we took this picture, we had about 20 antelope in the yard.
I was called to the Young Womans presidency about 3 weeks ago and am absolutely loving it. The funny thing is getting home and seeing how Aaron has put the kids to bed. He reads to them until they fall asleep on the couch and when I get home, we carry them to bed.
Cole got his first hair cut on Saturday night. Aaron put him in the sink and he played with everything on the counter while he cut his hair. It is nice to have Aaron cut the boys hair. Using the clippers, usually all the boys- including Aaron- strip to their underware and cut their hair. Done and easy as that- One night every month, and Aaron always does a really great job.
I have become a gym rat- I go in and work out for an hour every day (week days only). The kids love that lady in the day care and the people know me by name. I have recently changed my workouts and have picked up Zumba- which I love- and rock climbing. I do a women only rock climbing class two days a week. The kids play and we take turns watching them while we climb. I am really surprised how much I enjoy it.
We are really excited for Thanksgiving this week and Christmas. My kids have been enjoying our Christmas movies- the Polar Express and, surprisingly, a Christmas story. Last week the churh hosted a Thanksgiving dinner for the town and it was a lot of fun to help with. I look forward to heading to Idaho this week for Thanksgiving... and to making pies. I love to make home made pies.
