Yay!!! We are SO excited that it snowed. It truly feels like Christmas! Last night it just started coming down so delicately. Curtis said his birthday wish came true...so he had to go make a snowman for the kids to wake up to. Also that evening we learned that school was cancelled. Shellie called with the good news. Carter happened to be up late and joined in on the excitement. He was anticipating his sleep-in day...NOT! Caden was up bright and early bouncing around...WHAT? On most days I am dragging that boy out of bed! He must have sensed the frosty air! We got approx. 6"...apparently the most St.George has had in over 15 years. School buses aren't equiped with the winter tires and ofcourse there are no snowplows...driving buses full of children...just too risky on the roads. We had a fun day with the kids at home. They played in the snow virtually the whole day with Jace Meyer. It was a great adventure that we will always look back on. We are wishing for a white Christmas. How perfect would it be if this happened Christmas Eve!
Our children were freezing after their morning frolick. We HAD to turn on the fire. Look at Evey's OOOOO mouth. That's her new thing when she sees something new.
I still can't believe how much snow we got. So FUN! I love the pic with your kids warming their feet at the fireplace! I like your background too...I think you're right, we both have great taste :) Your family picture is darling too. You have such a perfect little family, you can tell you have so much fun together.
We defintely love to brag and say we are the proud parents of the cutest 5 children ever!! We are so blessed to have the most amazing kids!

I was putting Evey to bed tonight. She said something really great in her prayers! Please bless mommy will have a big appetite! I wonder what she was exactly thinking?! Ha ha!
6.12.11
Evey told me that I was the "greatest mom ever, in the whole city!" She then started saying all the things that she liked about me. "I like your neck, and your mouth. They are so cute!" I have never had anyone compliment me on those features before!
6.7.11
Ella has heard the boys talking about being "buff". She then starts saying that girls are just as "puff" as boys. She is so cute!
5.14.11
Evey was so excited that we were going to Red Robin for Carter's birthday lunch. As we pulled up she shouted, "Yay, I LOVE the Red McDonald's!"
5.10.11
Evey informs me before her bedtime prayer, "I will pray that I won't be naughty when the sun comes up."
5.9.11
We were reading the scriptures as a family. Evey was actually listening and looks up at me and says, "mom, what means humble?"
12.12.10
Evey has some sort of bump near her tummy. Not sure what it is. Not a mole. Anyway, she was inspecting it today and told me, "mommy, I have one teeny tiny polka dot!"
12.5.10
Evey was riding Emery's 2 wheeler scooter. I noticed that she has gotten the hang of it. I was very impressed and praising her like crazy. I kept saying, "Evey, you have gotten so good at that, you are amazing", etc. She replied, "Your welcome", with a cute grin on her face! LOVE that girl!
11.11.10
I asked Emery and Ella if their room was "spic and span" clean. Ella responded, "yes, and there's not ven ONE crumb"!
11.10.10
Emery bathed Evey and Ella. I was praising her and she added in, "ya, I even put air conditiong on their hair"!
10.11.10
I was tidying up and asked Ella who an army guy toy belonged to. It had been sitting in the same spot for quite a few days. Ella answered, "I think it's the boys. I've seen it there for years!"
10.4.10
The boys were in the back of the van squished and fighting so I separated them into different seats. Emery said, "Mom, Carter and Caden are divorced!"
when carter was 5, 2005
Auntie Martha reminded us of this story. Quite a few summers ago when we were staying with the Carter's for our summer vacation, we had played the day away. Carter was so exhausted by the end when I was bathing him. I told him to wash his body. He had done most of it except his legs. I said, "Carter, please wash your legs." His tired response was, "I can't find my legs."
6.26.10
Me and the kids were on our long drive up to Canada. Caden was talking on the cell phone to Curtis who was still in St. George working. The other kids were watching "Nacho Libre". (It's a Hancock favorite!) So I was asking them if they had seen the part where "Nacho" had sung the song, "at the party". Caden thought I was talking to him and then says to Curtis on the phone, "Dad, have you sung at the party yet?" I was totally LOL!
