Family Fun in the Snow

We woke up to snow this morning!  We all went out and played together for awhile and had a great time. We had a snowball fight, although I quit early because my camera was getting wet. Then Collin tried to snowboard down the sidewalk using one of the sides of the wagon which was pretty funny! Then he and Caden found themselves some "hideouts" under the bushes in the front yard and tried to throw snowballs at Dan from inside their hideouts.  It didn't prove to be the best idea in the end, since they were sort of trapped when Dan came for them, but they loved it anyway.  Colson just kind of wandered around doing his best at making snowballs and throwing them at us, well mostly at Daddy.  Then we made some hot cocoa to finish off the fun.  We had a great time and always welcome more snow!!

I haven't blogged for a while, so I had some catching up to do! We are doing well and are all anxious for our new little family member to arrive.  I am 36 weeks now, so it's getting close!

Christmas!

We had a really nice Christmas. It was great to be together as a family and to have all the beautiful snow! We spent Christmas eve at my parents and then had Christmas dinner with them at our house. Dan's parents were able to come to see us on the weekend, despite the road conditions, so we had a great holiday with family!  

Our twin nephews!

Triston Tony and Trenton Thomas arrived on Dec. 17 to my Sister Jessica and her husband Bobby.  They are healthy and growing strong.  They are so sweet and have brought so much joy to our family already. We all love them so much!

Our home in Pendleton

This is the house we are renting in Pendleton.  It is a really old home, with what I call a lot of potential.  No, really though, it is kind of cool and has plenty of space for us, so we are very happy and are settling in quite well.  Caden loves his new school and feels very welcome, which is a relief.  He wasn't excited about starting over at a new school, but he adjusted quickly!
