Christmas Countdown

I made this Christmas advent craft this week and I've had few people who want to see a picture of it. I used a pizza pan and then I made bottle cap magnets for the numbers. Today we started counting down the days until Jesus' big day.

Snow Day!!!!!!!

Avery shook his booty so hard when they announced that all schools will be closed today. For those of you who don't live in Boise, it snowed a ton last night and we woke up to 8 inches of snow. Kevin woke up at the glorious hour of 3:00 am to do snow removal and returned home at about 10. He had his skid steer in tow. As he gazed out at the winter wonderland he came up with a genius idea. He said, "I can make the kids the biggest snow mound we've ever had in the culdesac." He was on the tractor in a flash, spinning around in the culdesac. All of the neighbors came out, young and more mature. Everyone was taking pictures and one of our neighbors even brought our hot cocoa and marshmallows. The kids played on the hill for 5 hours straight. It was a great snow day memory for Great Sky Estates.

Happy Halloween 2010!

Here is our Mario and Luigi racing around the block. We have lots and lots of candy again this year. I have already eaten 10 candy bars today.

Annual Pumpking Carving

Aunt Meme, Dave, and Nana trooped it up with us again for pumpking carving. No slackers and no easy patterns. Here are this years results:

Skinning the deer

Avery is our hunter in the family. After spending a weekend with our friend Travis he has all the lingo down. Like "It smells awfully grousy here" or "dump him" or "look at that skat" or "it smells like elk potty!". Well to make a long story short he likes to pretend he is hunting a lot. He gets all dressed up and on this particular day he talked Henry into being his prey. I walked into the kitchen and caught him skinning his hunt. At least he got out the cutting board.

Holy Pictureoly!

Tis the season for taking pictures. With our gorgeous weather we've had gorgeous opportunity for great pictures. Thank you to all of my friends and family who trust me with your memories. Here are a few (o.k. maybe a little more than a few) of my favorites:

Cutie Patooty!

Take a look at these cute boys. Cole and Hudson are both one year old already! And our Cammers is not far behind at Two. Must be Kuntz's to be that cute.

Big FAT HUGE summer blog update!

This is kind of a half effort for blogging but I am going to hit the highlights. Here are some of our summer adventures:

Fishing at Fish Lake in McCall

Avery played in his first McCall Amateur (hopefully he can tackle).

This is the moose that hung around the McCall Golf Course for a few weeks. Swamp Donkey!

Hanging at North Beach with the Dallimores

We did lots and lots of tubing.

Mandi caught her first fish at Louie Lake

We all got to ride on a camel at the zoo in Tacoma

Eli killed and cleaned crab for our dinner

All of my boys at the beach hunting for seashells. Praise God! Kevin cut his hair last night.

At the museum of Flight in Seattle.

During the Mariners Game Avery stood in the aisle waiting for the ball to come to him.

Chris and Charity's Wedding

What an honor to be a part of Chris and Charity's wedding. The boys were peculiarly excited when Chris asked them (actually Avery said no at first and I was mortified but then when he realized that he was going to be 6 years old by then he decided he could do it). They actually turned out to be amazing ring bearers and it was an amazing wedding. Chris and Charity knew this was their day to say their vows and create a memory they would never forget. I have to say this was one of the most touching weddings I have ever been to. We spent a lot of time with the Majors this weekend and it made Kevin and I realized just how much this family has blessed our lives. You are all incredible people and you mean so much to our boys and we cannot thank you enough. It brings me to tears to know how much love my children have received from your family and you will always be a very special part of our lives. We love you Majors!

Our Beloved Holly. She is such and amazing person.

Grandpa Randy. The boys are crazy about Grandpa Randy.
